TBF it doesn't take a top notch marketing team or a lot of money to stuff envelopes with posters promoting the schools deal and send them to every school in London!

When I played AF the club used to get great ticket deals for the Monarchs and NFL games at Wembley, they encouraged all the jnr teams to go wearing their club shirts, it looked brilliant to see teams in their colours filling the ground. We used to take a coach load down for every game. The RFL could do that, every Jnr RL club in UK can access cheap tickets and be encouraged to wear their clubs shirts for the game.

Agreed JB. Sometimes a bit of nouse and sheer determination goes a long way.

Has the 4NZ002 promo code now finished? I put it in on the site, and it accepted it, then did it again, and it ignored it, unlike before it came up as £25 now it's £45. Anyone?

Are RL fans really saying that a double header at a magnificent stadium with the best players in the world is only worth £10-£25 of their cash?

Seriously, everyone bangs on about how much they love the game, then expect to see events like this for a tenner?

Good grief, even at £35 it's an absolute bargain. If people wanted £10 tickets, they should have bought them months ago like the rest of us. 14 of us (all but as couple non-RL fans) bought tickets for a tenner and another 5 just bought tickets at £35. If people who don't care about RL are willing to pay £35, surely the "supporters" should be too?

For people to say there are no sensibly priced tickets is just daft.

Agreed. Totally.
RL only has its supporters to blame. No ones forcing you to go.. but if you don't then you can hold your whingeing right there.

Just been on RFL ticket office and it says this event no longer available. Anyone no why https://www.eticketing.co.uk/rle/detail ... emref=8653

Must be updating the system - Could be that upper tier is opening.

As normally when an event is sold out the fixture stays on site.

So many RL fans will always find a reason NOT to turn up to a game, rather than looking at the positives. I have other things I could be doing that day, but IMO this was the best of all the options. The very same fans that complain that we get poor crowds and it looks poor on TV, are often the ones that are finding reasons not to attend.

Earlier this week you I had the same problem for the final at Elland Road but nothing was different so I wouldn't hold my breath but I really hope they open it!

Open the top tier would with some sort of offer on would be the good explanation.

An RFL cock up is probably the factual one though.

Just like to clarify I'll be attending regardless of the price I have to pay.

Still doesn't stop me from thinking the RFL are making a balls up of this event though.

It says Limited Availability in £25 seats. Think we may have passed the 30k mark hopefully

Limited availabilty on £25 tickets

Good news. With the TV ad now going out I hope the top tier gets opened and we can sell a lot more.

totally.

they may have had this strategy from the start, but seems like they are panicking now. They should have got a decent number of ticket sales by now.

if there are 3,000 junior clubs and schools playing RL seriously, they could have done deals and even got 10 people from each - thats 30k just there for limited effort. Run a couple of free (or hugely discounted) coaches from each town, club or area. They could have got these signed up months ago, along with the £10 deal - they shold have been on 50k ticket sales by now at least.

the RFL may not be cash rich, but the ticket sales for this 4N should have been run as a loss leader to get decent crowds interested in international RL again in advance of the World Cup. With a decent showing from the team (haha) they could have sold plenty of merchandise at the games to cover some of the costs.

For what its worth, I am 1 of 7 going down on the £10 deal.

It has said that for well over a week so hopefully now they are doing something about it.
Same offer as before for the top tier?

the internationals at wembey in the past attracted a surprising amount of londoners - there were some stats kicking around about this around the time of the gb v aus game - (the edwards send off one). if we can attract them out in numbers it could be a decent crowd.
note to rfl - advertise on the tube and london transport (apologies if they already do this)

I think they've done the tube. Also Capital FM and now a TV ad. I think part of the RFLs strategy was to wait for the yawnion to finish.

fair play to them then, hope we get a decent turn out from the locals. if only we could win a 4 nations the interest for the world cup would rocket

Lets hope we get a decent crowd,we all know the games wont let us down,just hope the attendance doesnt,after all its 4 of the best rugby playing nations on the planet on view.

Me and Hubby would love to go to both elland rd & Wembley, but work have been more than generous with allowing us time off or releasing us early for night games etc during the season.

We received our tickets this morning for the Aus v NZ game at the Halliwell, and we just can't wait for the fixture, lets hope NZ have been able to solidify their pack and give us a better game than last week!

Not until they fill the seats they currently have available.....I can't wait to see a half empty wembley and then see the finger pointed at everyone except the fans.


Tickets were available for a tenner for ages.......if you ddin't buy one don't blame anyone other than yourselves.........anyway, Wigan and Wire can afford a full price ticket with the money they saved by not going to OT

These £5 deals for schools and clubs, how do we know that these tickets aren't for the top tier? They aren't on sale so may just be being kept for this...

I think 50K could be reached which people will still moan at!

Can the club wembley ticket holders come to this game that should boost the middle tier as i think allot will go just because its an international for the occasion.

Good luck with that.....
