But those tickets weren't available when the queues were stretching along the sides of the ground. And for those who wanted tickets with those who have them already, they still can't get them.

Are we only taking 9,000 to Wembley if we get there? Many peoples first game of season will be a final. No bandwagon jumping there...

Yeah I know. I get the point. I could have brought more but was limited, but I may be in the tiny minority.

As for bandwagon jumpers - I welcome them, welcome to the fold.

Thinking more just numbers. After all the Barrcelona game was only 18000.

While for a [isemi final[/i we can only get 13350. Crazy.

yeah, i agree, but it has been marketed at the right level. i think thats been proven.

it will be very interesting how many sarries get at wembley. i think they have been pretty clever, as northampton have a huge travelling support and there will be an awful lot of people wanting to go just to see a game of rugby at wembley. i would imagine somewhere between 30-40k will go to this, depending on the price obviously, but that will look pretty empty in wembley despite it being a sizable crowd

Why is it crazy?

The last time a semi-final attendance exceeded 20k was 1999.

That's a damning stat isnt it?

I am not taking my son to the semi, he did not have a season ticket so could not get seats together with him and my mates who do, i feel tickets allocation needs a serious review or you should be able to sit where you want in a stand

I didn't, I knew it wouldn't be a problem just as it wasn't last time. Makes you wonder what sort of match would bring the Wiganers out.

A wembley appearance with a full time squad against a semi-pro side with a free pie thrown in and an early exit turnstyle?

Likewise, I know people who usually come with us, who have been to most games this year, home and away, yet havent got a semi-final ticket because they don't want to be in a different stand etc to us.

The stewarding costs wouldn't be very high, as they'd probably only open the front row of the stadium. Seriously though I agree with you, I don't care what anyone says Widnes is a ridiculous choice of semi final venue and makes the sport (and the RFL) seem small time and unambitious.

Wembley, Semi pro v full time? Wigan did that against Sheffield Eagles and lost. The only things missing was the free Meat and Tato's, or was it 'Babbies Yeads?'

why didn't you wait and go in that stand with them?

Because he had to get his ticket the day they came out to make sure he didn't miss out.

What are all these people going to do for Wembley tickets? Are season ticket holding friends and family going to wait for general release to buy their tickets so that they can sit with these desperate to go friends? I doubt it.

slighty o/t but two great teams are struggling to sell out a semi final the same day announce sarries ru are taking a game to wembley.

I hope it fails but i bet 50,000 turn up

years ago we would be lucky to get 3,500 in but be able to take a cup semi to maine road now we get 10,000 and wigan about 15,000 and we cant fill Widnes?

Looks like that little corner of the West Stand won't be just me and our kid being lynched then.

To be fair, it is a pain. I have tickets for the final for me,my mum and dad and brother, yet only me out of that group has a season ticket. If Wire get to the final, despite there probably being well up to 20k available for each club I wouldn't be surprised to see 1 or 2 per ST in the first batch.

It's okay saying people should wait, but then the choice of tickets at the right price can then be limited.

I believe Saints and Hudds didn't have such limits imposed like us, at a smaller venue, and I certainly don't feel there should be a limit for Wembley. They should go on general from the start, as this limiting to 1 per ST holder does cause problems.

I agree, Dave, it's not as though there are more ST holders than available tickets.

Who knows. What I do know is that if we built a 160,000 seater stadium, because every season ticket holder would bring a mate, we'd fill it.

last time we got to Wembley i was not a season ticket holder and although they had more time to organise. we had to show 3 ticket stubs (one being a reserve game) to gain priority after ST holders and i think we got 15,000 tickets allocated.

Would not surprise me if you could will be able to get 2 tickets per ST holder then 1 each per non this time with more tickets available, especially as we will be playing Hudds who did not take that many to Twickers in 2006

After season ticket holders and before going on general sale they should be on sale to Supporters Trust members for 3 or 4 days. Soon see membership numbers rocket then.

great idea PY
