| I had problems when I tried booking, I found that if you log in first before specifying which tickets you'd like, that it worked. Whereas choosing the tickets and then logging in when asked, didn't.

There probably is tens of thousands of people who are willing to pay £10 to watch this game, its just nearly a full days drive from where most of them live and after they spend that tenner they probs need to spend another 10 tenners on the rest of the day/weekend.

It doesnt take a full day to drive from Yarrk-shurrr to London although I understand parting with another tenner goes against the grain for your average Yorkshireman

Boo Hoo
London is so far away! I cant plan ahead more than one week at a time! I have to spend all my money on beer and junk food wherever I go!
Either you want to go, or you don't, a few quid doesn't make a difference

Why don't the RFL contact Virgin Trains and say to them that they will advertise Virgin for free at the game if they can promote the 3 month advanced ticket that will come out 3 months before the game? Then do one more week of £10 tickets along with promoting that RL fans can get from up north to London for around £35 return.
Virgin would be happy as pretty much all trains are empty early on saturdays anyway.

| I have bought 6 and will be taking 5 non RL followers. One coming from Paris and another is from South Africa. I just hope it lives up to the hype I have given it.
I must say I am very disappointed that so far I have seen no mention of the £10 tickets in London or for that matter the occasion at all. I take an Evening Standard and Metro almost daily but have not seen an advert or anything. In a few weeks London will be awash with football again. We should have been striking now while tkts are cheap and football is not so important.
Saracens have done it with great success. RL should do the same.
As an aside I wonder if the GF crowd will be affected with some choosing Wembley in Nov over Manchester in October? I am talking neutrals and not fans of finalists. Though if it turns out to be Cats vs Giants I have heard rumours the final will be at the MEN Arena.

Wrong again.
I'll probably go, I just like a whinge prior and I hate London, I do wanna support England but can't be bothered going to London, what made you get presonal about it is beyond me.

Where did u book those mate? do they go out of picadilly? I know I can do Barrow-Picadilly for a £10 so from there £35 to london is probably more convenient than the car.

When Jonny stops trolling he actually makes some semi sensible posts sometimes and this is one of them.

| Has the tenner a ticket offer been advertised anywhere outside of the net/rugby league press???
Have the London free papers and perhaps the Western Mail in Wales been used to publicise it and thats without involving the local press in Yorkshire and Lancashire.

The cheap 3 month advance returns don't seem to always appear for weekend travel. We struggled to get anything reasonable to go to Manchester for the Grand Final. Its cheaper and easier for us to buy group save tickets, which we can buy on the morning of travel - 4 travel for the price of 2. You can travel on any offpeak train then too, rather than being restricted. South Eastern and Southern do this, don't know about Northern operators.

Cheap tickets aren't out yet for that weekend but should be in about 3 weeks from these places.

I live and work in London - I've not seen it in either of the free papers which I look through most days. Its a shame because the price point is a great move to publicise the game down here - a tenner for a day out at Wembley is a bargain compared to almost anything else you can see there. Me and my Dad are taking 10 others and only one of them has been to a live game before. But if they didn't happen to be mates with a northerner in exile, they would never have even heard about the game. There must be a lot of opportunities being missed.
