In the past they have served from the office windows inside the ground for cash and the St Michaels Lane entrance for card payments - but not today. We arrived about 9.50 and got our tickets about 12. The queue was then past the cricket school. Not only was the ticket office busy but the traffic warden was doing a roaring trade too



Oh and the girl in the office said that the website kept crashing so purchasing tickets/printing the 'IF Form' was a bit of a lottery.

Maybe the strike power could warm up their breaded snacks?

Dropped my U21 ST off with a mate who was in the que but they wouldn't let me have a student ticket



Looks like i'll have to que tomorrow then!

Oh and I hope some of the people who post on here were in the que, their faces were a picture!

I arrived at 7.10 and saw 12 people in the queue so I waited in the comfort of my car for 30 mins before joining a now steadily growing queue. After chatting to a lovely blonde girl in the queue behind me, I got a take-away tea from the cafe and the doors opened on time, no fuss no bother had the requested tickets in hand and back in the car by 9.30.
They had 4 staff on both the counter and the phones.
On leaving the shop the queue was up past the hotel car park gates and growing.
Good luck to everyone who goes up this afternoon.

Simples.

I can't believe that they're selling less than 400 per hour.

Will take for ever to sell out at that rate.

I too queued for 2 hrs this morning.

had someone go down this morning to get my tickets, got the seats i wanted too
glad i didnt have to go down, annoyed by the attitude i usually get from ticket office staff act as if they are doing you a favour by letting you get tickets
Apparently lots of complaints about the size of the ground from those in the queue

Got there at 8.50 and it was just before 11 when I got served! They've only got 4 people serving and it takes them a good 3-4 minutes per customer! Anyone ringing the ticket office - use 0113 203 3291 instead of the 0871 number given on the website which charges 10p a minute. You'll save a fair few bob seeing as most people are 'on hold' for an hour or so.

Two hour wait for me too from just about the same time as mirfield. And as someone else mentioned, I heard a few grumblings along the lines of "why the hell are we playing this at a pokey little ground like the Keepmoat". Looks like general sale tickets will be at a premium come friday morning methinks!

I think, still, that the stadium size is right. The club put on their facebook that they sold in the region of 7,500 tickets for the semi last year so seems about right to me!

Say no to 0870, or in this case 0871?

I love that site. Screw you HMRC and your ridiculous charges!

Well one things for sure a full Keepmoat will look good on the telly, which I suppose is the effect that the RFL were after. Still I wouldnt like to think that I couldnt get a ticket until Friday morning if I wasnt a ST holder or similar.

Damn right - bet it's saved me hundreds of quid over the years.

I had to get mine from the RFL as I wanted an ambulant disabled and carers ticket (even though we're season ticket holders). Phoned at 9.30am and got straight through. Probably helped that our website says they're not selling them until Friday.

Just over 2100 tickets sold at close of business.

Not as many as I expected.

Meh, went at 4.45. 2 people in front of me. Nice and quiet. Boyaaaa

Bugger

I'll probably just rock up on the day with my RFL media pass.

Which is why I have no issue with it being at the Keepmoat. If we didn't sell out last year, why should this year be any different. I fully expect Cas to get an extra allocation and us to still be selling tickets next week.

The only reason cas will have an extra allocation is because they are allowing two tickets per membership simples !

To be fair we have enough season ticket holders to be selling out before them. I just don't think we will. Their fans appetite for this game is a bit stronger than ours.

Why have people queued for hours, I'm sure you'll be able to go next week to the ticket office and get tickets straight away.

I bet you will but I guess you won't be able to get them in the section you'd prefer.

Cas fans are more likely to be able to go to the ticket office on a Wednesday between the hours of nine and five too

Because today and tomorrow is the only time season ticket holders are guaranteed a ticket. People want to make sure. They would look pretty stupid if they waited and didn't get one
