Walked in at 3.30 today no queue... 2 tickets inside 5 mins.

In my book that's due to the IF form. It's an excellent idea and the one (or hopefully 2) times per year when the ticket office is actually efficient!

Thats what I thought 2 girls on the desk with the queue ?? and about 6 sat at desks sorting out envelopes.

Sexist

looked about 16 -17 to me

Snap. Also at about 3.30.

Lass on the counter also told me that the club have asked for the East stand because we always have East stand at OT and it's always done us well, and we've asked for the other changing rooms to last year too. Not superstitious much!

Have they asked for the other coaching team too....? OUCH!

Have just received an e-mail from the club ticket office allocating me my 4 £61 tickets.
No complaints from me.
Part of me, though, still recalls the excitement of queuing for hours on a Sunday morning after a semi victory & chatting with other fans about the game.

but its not much fun if its raining.

I agree. I queued last year because it was a Sunday. Couldn't this year with work. Nothing wrong with the IF form. Perfectly good idea. Just sometimes it's nice to queue and feel like you're a part of something.

Plus, I've got my tickets in my hand, and had shed loads of choice of seats. You only get to pick the price bracket on an IF form. I got to look at the plan and choose from that. Even at 3.30pm they had pretty much everything available.

Wimp!
That's why we have coats & umbrellas.
Makes you feels as if you've somehow suffered for the cause.

The old bones don't do so well standing for several hours these days. 2hours for the semi tickets was more than enough. Thank God for the If Forms.

Cue Swiftcorn's inane ramblings about the IF form...

I'm with you on that.
The clue's in the name.

...and that's from 2007!

our IF form has just been processed! 51 of us in the £31 section, no mention of area just yet!

Grrrr... I handed it in at 11am the day Semi tickets went on sale. I better hear from them soon!

Just Checked My Rhinos Account & the Silly Buggers Have Proccesed My IF Form Twice - I Have Now Got 8 Tickets Instead of 4

I e-mailed them this evening to make sure mine has been processed, because they have already changed the goalposts and brought the general sale start forward by 24hrs to weds morning, at which point anyone can buy tickets in any numbers. Why get season ticket holders to use IF forms at all if they are gonna do suff like this.

Does anyone know how the ticket sales are going? I presume this game will be a sell out like last year!

Leeds fans would be best advised to get their tickets asap as Wigan appear to have almost sold out the West side of the stadium (apart from the few remaining on sale to ST holders at the club), so there'll be plenty of Wiganers now buying on the east side you would think.

<Generic over-estimate of how many fans a club will bring>

Have you heard anything back yet mate? If I've not heard anything by mid-afternoon I'll be on the phone to them.

It happened last year in the Grand Final, there were thousands of Wigan fans down in the St Helens end, I believe that it was the same at Wembley last year with Wire outnumbering your lot by a significant margin.

I was just giving a friendly word of warning to any fans that don't have tickets. The RFL have advised that there are limited in West stand.

Wasn't my perception to be honest, I was in a section sold by the RFL and it was pretty much exclusively Leeds and a nice scattering of neutrals. There didn't seem to be appreciably more Wire fans milling about outside before the game either. Cardiff '05 on the other hand, I felt significantly outnumbered.

Wigan will no doubt take more fans this year for a variety of reasons (first trip to Wembley in over a decade, vastly more likely to win etc) but it won't be of the 2:1 magnitude that some have suggested. Leeds will probably take 30-35k. Wigan more like 40k I reckon.
