[size=85[iTHE season-opening Millennium Magic weekend is not looking quite so magical after all.

Only 24,000 tickets have been sold for the February 12-13 spectacular in Cardiff.

One Super League club — and it's not the Catalans Dragons — have sold only 100 tickets.

And an insider revealed: "Without the fans at Leeds, Warrington and Wigan, you could halve that overall figure right now."

Critics suggest a chilly weekend in South Wales in February may not appeal to fans as much as it did when the event was held over the Spring Bank Holiday. [/i[/size


Noticed this piece at the end of The Sun article, not looking good for MM weekend, how bad is that going to look on TV?, could be the last time this event is run if those figures are true!

12k per day??

might as well hold it in the Leigh sports village or even the Thunderdome

RFL you are a joke

wonder how much the venue is costing? they will lose a fortune surely??

Not sure what the new deal is like, but last time the RFL were actually paid to hold the event there.

It's a complete and utter farce, hanging onto the coat-tails of RU by have a season opener at a 'prestige' stadium. Wrong place, wrong time of season.
Given how the countries economics have been going (and not that long after Christmas) it isn't surprsing that people won't turn up for this in the numbers previously.
The only thing to come of this for the RFL is bad publicity for it and the sport.

Just a slight bump but would rather an FC fan get them.. Just cancelled 2 rooms for the ETAP on Saturday night so might be available at a reasonable price...

Yup!

come rain or shine I will be there, cant wait TBH , missed the rugger big time
