When oh when will the authorities - be it Olympics or Wembley - get the ticketing sorted out.

Attendance at 79000 !
As if.

I didn't want to be in the 3rd tier and tried to get into the lower tier - 4 seats.
No chance.

Yet - lo and behold - looking down from on high there were many empty 'groups of 4' seats, and in the third tier lierally hundreds of spare seats in the middle of the tier.

Overall - very underwhelmed by all of this - and the only thing that spoiled the day.

Now if I want seats for the GF what do people recommend?
I reckon just ring the RFL and ask them what's the crack

Just because nobody was sat in them on the day, doesnt mean the tickets weren't sold. The blocks of seats could easily have been for an organisation who got them for free and simply couldnt be bothered.

The empty sets were purchased by Wigan fans who could not sell their tickets.

Yes - that could be the case, but if it's the latter it's a poor show - just like the Olympics

You are a wicked, wicked man.

Again i'll say it, don't care, i was there, the atmosphere was great and my weekend was brilliant, the people who could have filled the seats are the ones that missed out.

We had about 4 empty seats in our row block 108 lower tier

I'm assuming you bought your tickets from the club. If you bought them on the RFL website you could have got four together in the lower tier easily.

The RFL website always states in advance who is going to be in which end so you know as soon as you win the semi where you want to be buying tickets, and they do the same for the Grand Final too. No need to purchase from the club whatsoever.

Yep - it'll be RFL for me next time

2013



What about the GF - is it the same situation?

Yes, you can buy, and have been able to buy, lower tier tickets for a few months now.
For the CC, drove back from Salford, saw that the RFL site was in full working order (I tried to get on the day before after the first semi, but Wigan fans checking up on the refunding policy must have clogged it up...), clicked on the block I wanted in the lower tier, paid, done. Simple.

We were on the back row of block 520. The row in front of us was occupied, but the twelve or so in front of that one were completely deserted.

Still, the view was good (though player identification was tricky at times), plus there was a little step behind to put your beer on, we could stand up for the whole match without annoying anyone else and we didn't get soaked.

And the lad sat next to us with his airhorn who spent the first fifteen minutes on his phone went down to sit in one of the empty rows.

So, all good, really

just sit down, enjoy the game, be glad and thankful you are there and not worry about those empty seats!


just an idea mind

I did enjoy it, it was my favourite of the three. I'm just surprised that the seats seemed to have been sold 'from the back' first.

get the tickets from the rfl website you can choose your area

My brother got them from the RFL. He was getting some stick until it tanked it down.



Though I think, while you can choose your block, you have no control over which row they offer you.

Future finals will be the opposite for me.
Purcahsed my tickets from RFL immediately after semi.
Block 521 upper tier as in 2010.
This year bizarrely too many Leeds fans in my vicinity ( prefer to sit amongst like minded ).
Should n't complain but too many neutrals - not really interest in the game ( more like too p***ed to watch ), more in repeated trips to bar.
Club purchased tickets next time, although from reading some posts, the same outcome might occur.

We got our tickets from the rfl, in block 108. Very surprised to have about 20-30 leeds fans together in the same block and then found it strange at the end (leeds fans gone by now) that there appeared to be a similar number of wire fans in the opposite end in the block opposite.

My dad was with the group at the other end. Around 100-150 go for the weekend from the tavern(?) every year. Who ever runs it books the tickets a year in advance in the same end each year.

Yeah the empty seats looked terrible and as the commentator mentioned the ring of indifference.

I was wondering what could be dont to sort that out? am i right in thinking that they are corporate seats ? If so surely wembly ltd could contact them and ensure they will be attending ? If not give their tickets away at local schools college's? It would look better but may also help the game get some recognition in london and hopefully help with the broncos poor attendance's ?

Yeah they are 'Club Wembley' seats...they are always bleedin' empty.

I was in block 118. No empty seats at all. View was good and no millions of toilet trips or bar trips. I sat on the end of the row so had the pleasure of stretching out my legs. Wouldn't hesitate in going in that block again.

If you book on RFL site u can pick any black/row/seat you want that are available.

I was in block 508 upper tier. Packed up there. Usually go lower tier but the view from up there is fantastic. Would deffo go up there again

Who is the bit of totty in you Avatar JD ?
