SUPER LEAGUE Grand Final tickets are up by 25 percent on this time last year, while Leeds Rhinos and Hull KR have sold 7,000 tickets for their clash in Las Vegas next February.
Rugby league chiefs are hailing a number of positive accomplishments, with Super League attendances currently up ten percent on where the competition was last year.
Super League also hit the one million attendance mark after a record-equalling 100 games of the season, with an average crowd of 10,033 after 22 rounds.
Rhodri Jones, the managing director of RL Commercial, said: “We believe the best is yet to come, as we aim to beat last year’s Grand Final crowd (68,173) and break through 70,000.”
Meanwhile, Sky Sports viewing figures are up by 32 percent.
The Ashes series at the end of the year between England and Australia is also a major focal point, with both Leeds Rhinos’ Headingley and the new Everton Stadium sold out.
Ticket sales on the whole are now at 110,000, which means that almost 40,000 tickets have been sold at Wembley with a target of 65,000-70,000.
Intense marketing will come in September in order to drive ticket sales for the Wembley clash on Saturday, 25 October.
