I hear that the RFL are closing the Top Tier and upgrading those seats. Anyone on here affected? I can imagine you would not be best pleased if you had paid full whack for CAT4. According to www.wembleystadium.com/Press/Pre ... -and-Facts that gives a maximum attendance of ~50K.
Also £50 tickets being sold for £15 on Groupon. https://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/gl-ladb ... -cup-final
Grim times for the Challenge Cup.
[i[size=85Great news! We are emailing you today to let you know your seats for the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup Final have been upgraded.
We wanted to surprise and delight our fans who purchased for this event early by rewarding them with this complimentary seat upgrade.
Your new seats are located in CAT 4 behind the sticks in the West Stand, please click here to view the stadium map.
You will shortly receive an email from our ticketing system to confirm the upgrade of your seats and tickets for Wembley will be dispatched to you in the coming days.
Please note:
If you have already received your match tickets, please dispose of these as they are no longer valid.
If you previously requested Print At Home tickets, these will now be replaced by ticket stock which will be posted to you.
If you have any queries about your upgrade or would like to discuss your new seating allocation, please feel free to contact us directly via the details below.

Yes but W71 said the top tier is to be closed. I know this is incorrect because you can still buy tickets up there! |

The top tiers other than the cup side to our corner and behind our end are the only blocks you can presently buy tickets in.

Just read a Challenge Cup email that does say that level 5 tickets are valid and the blocks remain open.

It was just a post I saw on Facebook. Apologies if I have made a mistake and it's only a partial closure.

Depends on what you mean by 'discounted'. I bought Club Wembley tickets for £65 each which I guess is cheap compared to soccer prices. |

Grim times for the Challenge Cup.

It was always going to be a tough sell given Catalans fans are hardly likely to number the 15,000 plus that guarantees a good attendance. At least the RFL are doing something about it. |

Saints vs Catalans in 2007 attracted an attendance of 84,241. We will be lucky to get within 20K of that number.
That's why I say grim times. It could be the lowest Wembley attendance since 1945/46 Wakefield vs Wigan.
And yes, good on the RFL for trying to save face at the showpiece event. Maybe they will consider their actions which may have led to this. |

I wonder if there will be much take up of tickets both from France & from French expats in the UK . There must be a lot of French expats in London & the south east. It would be good to see ,in the absence of royalty, May & Macron in the royal box.

I know you were joking but its a serious point about Toronto etc. What if, in 5 years time, Catalans and Toronto are the two powerhouses of the game and meeting in finals? The GF could be a ghost town unless they make it a three game home and away series. Its just been published that almost all premiership sides could survive without a crowd....rugby league desperately needs it's spectators and the final needs bloody moving from this ridiculous gridlocked weekend.

I think I'm right in saying through, that 2007 was the first Challenge Cup Final at the new Wembley, which probably boosted the attendance. |

Middle Tier accounts for 16,532 seats. When I last went to Wembley in 2016 I'd say it was sp but not deserted. |

We have fallen a long way in 30 years. The 1988 CC Cup Final between Wigan and Halifax attracted 94,273. And that was real bums on seats.

The blocks you can't open are sold out but the site hasn't updated the stadium screen. |

Looking at this the top tier appears completely closed now.

If this is true the maximum attendance can only be lower34,303 + middle 16,532 = 50,835. |
