Is half of the stadium going to be closed?

Only asking as i was looking at buying tickets and noticed many of the areas in grey and you couldn't select them.

I did end up buying the 10 pound tickets but just wondered if the ground will be only half open?

Cheers.

half sold out already

Nope, it is reserved for Hull Kr supporters

Seriously? It seems the outer section of seats are all greyed out, does this mean they have all been sold?

Ignore the trolls Craig.

This game won't even half fill Wembley


They are likely to be reserved for corporate events.

the bottom tier holds about 30,000...the "grey sections" will go on sale if and when we need them

How many tickets are at 10? Surely they should be able to sell all of those??

The greyed out sections are not for sale.

This will be down to the fact that they are reserved for corporate and for RFL staff. I'm sure a lot of the greyed out section will become available if and when we sell the rest

It's naff all to do with corporates or RFL staff apart from the small grey section in the lower tiers - and that's mainly Club Wembley seats.

It's simply that the RFL and Wembley know we'll never even get close to filling the stadium. Therefore the upper tier remains closed unless demand soars, to save on staffing costs and also so it looks a bit better on TV.

Still can't wait! What a great day out. Now, how to sneak inexpensive beer into Wembley...

a big coat....you can get 4 cans down each arm

It'll partly be down to RFL staff and corporate. All of the RFL staff get free tickets and the RFL partners all get some tickets. Therefore part of the stadium will be greyed out for that.

Obviously most of the greyed out areas will be due to the fact that we can't fill them. I'm sure they can be sold if required

If anyone thought that England had a cat in hells chance of beating Aus then the place would be full.

They havn't and it won't be.

The RFL/SL have ensured the demise of International RL as a spectacle.

Let's sign yet ANOTHER 30 year old aussie crock comes the cry from the SL clubs and their followers lap it up, because "it's good for the game".

It been good since 1982 and the game in this country is still light years behind the aussies.

the grayed out area on the lower tier and middle tier are club wembley seats...they get first option on those seats hence why they are'nt for sale at this time....

the capacity of the lower & middle tiers is roughly 50k....which will probably be enough

It can be done but it depends on the type of event. I've been to the new Wembley a few times and the level of security has differed drastically each time. I took a bottle of vodka into a Metallica gig without a hitch but everyone was patted down before being allowed in when I've been watching NFL there.

Knowing the cheapskate RFL they'll have one bloke on each gate so you'll probably be able to stroll in with a crate of ale under each arm and no-one will bat an eyelid. Better that than pay £4.60 for a pint of flat Carlsberg

i love how some of you try to pin everything on the RFL



the RFL have nowt to do with the stewards are they sure as hell are'nt gonna put a gap-toothed yokel from castleford on the gate

No brand to promote . England RL means nothing ..... Return to Great Britain rugby league and it may mean something

WTF?

what? 40 years of getting battered?

Good. Less chance of them nicking some cans from said crate then!

Despite 'Great Britain' not winning anything either I actually agree with you.

The GB name is something more casual RL supporters have heard of than England and a lot of people will remember Offiahs length of the field try against Australia thats often shown on things like Question of sport etc etc

Agree with you both guys. For me a GB v Aus game just somehow has a slightly bigger feel to it than Eng v Aus, not sure why really. Re the hammerings GB have suffered in the past, we've also pushed them close at times too, and in any case I can't see the England team (esp with McNamara as coach

) faring any better.

Absolutely right Roofs.

Rightly or wrongly the name 'Great Britain' is synonymous with international RL. The name 'England' seems to be more associated with the football and Union sides.

Even if people are not massive fans of RL they will tend to think of 'Great Britain' as being a league side.

I have been to Wembley twice to watch GB v Aus, both times i went there expecting GB to get smashed...........they won both times, so you never know, when it comes to Wembley we seem to do well against the aussies.

Won't a number of seats be given to both Australia RL and NZRL to sell to their supporters?
Expect the upper tier to be closed unless ticket sales go mental.

Virtually all of the Aussie and Kiwi supporters that will be attending are already over here in London so I don't think so.
