Some games, such as Tonga's fixture with the Cook Islands in Middlesbrough, are "not as strong" as the ticket sales at other games, but Dutton is hopeful that a strong opening weekend will provide a spike in further sales for other matches. And with sales almost certain to surpass the total for the last World Cup held in England in 2013, the goal for organisers is to now beat the figure of around 570,000 tickets that were sold for this summer's women's Euros.ĭutton and his team are hopeful the success of the Lionesses can provide a platform for the women's tournament to record encouraging attendance figures, with hopes still high the opening game of that competition between England and Brazil in Leeds on 1 November will sell out. North of 20,000 tickets have been sold for England's second group game in Bolton against France too. "One in every two tickets are being bought by locals too so there's a lot to look forward to." "The attendance will definitely start with a four," he said. Hosts England kick off against Samoa at St James' Park on Saturday afternoon and the tournament's chief executive, Jon Dutton, told the Guardian sales are still being made for the game. More than 40,000 tickets have been sold for the opening game of the Rugby League World Cup, with organisers optimistic they can surpass the overall ticket sales recorded at this summer's women's European Championships. Exciting young talent such as Catalans’ Arthur Mourgue means they are capable of a shock, but qualifying from the group will be incredibly tough. They do have a squad comprised entirely of full-time professionals for the first time, thanks to Toulouse’s season in Super League.
With two of the world’s best sides and the debuting Greeks for company in Group A, third place appears to be France’s likeliest position. Win that and everyone will be talking about Samoa. Matt Parish is adamant it will take his side time to gel, but they are the bookies’ favourites for the opening game against England. They have never gone further than the last eight but are rightly being tipped to improve on that.
