| Like i've said before, put a big old advert at Heathrow, all RU fans with England ticket stubs get into the Wembley double header for a tenner.
Then up north, any fan with a club season ticket or England replica gets in for £10 too

Absolutely.
Personaly, I don't expect a ticket for £10, but I would at least like the option of buying a ticket in the lowest price band. Its difficult enough to convince my non-RL mates to come to the Grand Final for £21.

| The way I look at things like this, we'd be reasonably happy with 40k. So what loss is there to get any old tom dick or harry in the spare 50k seats for a small price? I'd have made kids tickets free, right from the start and got into the schools and got them doing coach trips like we used to have in the 90s

| Also, on the RU fans front, I know quite a few fans who have been bored by the RUWC and impressed by the SL GF and also the Wire-Leeds game.
We've got a far better product, but no money. We should let the RU fans see it for a small price.

So, turn this around
Any Wigan fan who turns up in an England RU shirt next year gets into the DW for a fiver... how successful would that be?
We have nearly 62 million people in this country to market our game to... why start with the demographic that is likely to be most hostile?
Rugby Union fans don’t like Rugby League... the sooner we accept this the better

One of my closest freinds is a Bristol lad, brought up with RU and Bristol Rovers. Just from coming to one RL game, in the rain, wind, sleet and snow when Leigh played Salford at Hilton Park (not exactly England v Australia at Wembley) he was sold on the game and now has a season ticket for Leigh and is losing interest in yawnion.
Appeal to inteligent, open minded people like this and you've got a lot of takers.
Any Wigan fan who turns up at the DW in an England RU shirt for £5? How is that in context to what I said?
If an England fan forks out £50 on a replica and turns up to watch England he has paid his dues and as a promo, could get in for a reduced price.

My point is this
Use these boards as an example, there are people who enjoy both codes but the vast majority of RL fans on here wouldn’t be tempted to go to a RU match whatever the promotion. We all think that RL is the best sport on the planet but we have to accept that RU fans love their sport and they are just as unlikely to attend a RL game as we are a RU one
I just feel that when you start marketing a product, the least likely target that you should start with are those that are promoters of a competitive product

It's an interesting arguement.
Maybe i'm coming at it from a 'it's so much better, surely they must realise' point of view.

If you can stretch to £25 there's a special offer on the £45 tickets using the promotion code 4NZOO2 at [url=https://www.eticketing.co.uk/rle/details/event.aspx?itemref=8653rugbyleaguetickets.co.uk[/url think it also works if you phone the RFL ticket office.

There's more to marketing than giving things away and cutting prices. All you're doing is devaluing the product.
