| Can somebody explain which circumstances dictate that an ' early bird ' discount offer should be extended ?
Good sales ?
Poor sales ?

could either, could be neither.
They could have always planned to extend the early bird sales and it was always part of the strategy to do so. The thinking being that the ending of it would act as a prompt for some, the extension doing the same to others.

I suppose , those kind of ' mind games ' always seem pointless to me , eventually the majority start to ignore them I find when they do them at club level , or they drive down the price of the product

IIRC they stated that the original early bird ticket allocation had sold out, regardless of whether they had or not it's pretty standard marketing. We're talking about the World Cup Final, not Leigh Centurions season tickets.

| Quote ="RLBandit"They're not inconsequential, and they're not just the opinions you read, they're the opinions of editors who choose not to retain RL journalists or run RL stories.'" The sport receives little mainstream media coverage because the international scene is pitifully weak in comparison to other equivalent sports such as cricket and RU, and outside of the CC and SL finals there are no real major events for the media to cover. And part of this problem is because the sport is unambitious and people are so worried about 'looking bad' that we end up playing England internationals at places like Doncaster and Leigh, which is totally defeatist and just ends up being a self-fulfilling prophecy.
The match at Wembley on national TV in 2011 did more for the sport's profile than 20 England v Australia matches at Wigan or Hull.

Standard marketing does work for the less intelligent , the more intelligent tend to question them and if it is standard marketing , then WCF or LC season tickets , its exactly the same'" Yeah except you pretty much disregarded the given answer, and when another poster told you what you wanted to hear then you accepted it without question.
FWIW, reading [url=http://www.rlwc2013.com/rugby-league-world-news/article/890/beanie-mania-forces-ticket-offer-extensionthis article[/url it looks as though what was 'extended' was a giveaway of free hats after the cut-price tickets sold out. But yeah, I'm sure that is a clear sign that ticket sales are slow and that the tournament is going to be a massive failure.

I replied as such , hardly disregarding it

=#4040BFI suggested that was how I understood things , but then said I was confused , so not without question
You are getting paranoid my friend

| Quote ="Ganson's Optician"The point earlier about marketing to Aussies is a very good one, but rather than advertise on sky for an extortionate price it would be much better to advertise in things such as the Aussie Times and Walkabout Bars etc. They have been working with a PR company called Fast Track on advertising the game in London, so I am sure all these things have been considered.'"
They ain't no "PR" company...

Well since I said the "start of the season", no, I wouldn't have been referring to an article from April 2012, because I'm not a certified cretin.
Besides, we can all find 'good' articles. That doesn't prove anything. If you think the media profile and general 'narrative' out there right now is good, you're in your own world and I can't help you.
