Ok total rugby league Carl Fitzpatrick has just come out and said we only sold 7000 tickets for wembley last year, surely that is a typo??

So there were 43000 neutrals and catalans fans? Highly unlikely.

I believe the estimate was 18-23k which seemed about right. Lots of wire fans got tickets on Groupon (me included). Saints will sell more than us this year quite comfortably but couldn't care less...as long as they show sense and don't put the Widnes fans in the Wire end.

He could be right. I think most people buy direct from Rugby-League.com as its cheaper (with Voucher) & you can print your ticket.

I think we can sell the same amount as saints this year, it will just take a bit of time as lots of fans goin Catalans away. Also saints have had 4 weeks to book them knowing they would be there

Haven't bought through the club since 2009, easier to buy through the RFL. Whilst Warrington may only have sold 7,000 tickets, there were obviously more Wires there than that, so wouldnt include RFL ticket sales.

+1

i've bought from the rfl last 3 occasions.

it wouldn't surprise me if people have been put off by the see tickets site, i appreciate where it's hosted etc but it seems like it's pot luck where you get allocated rather than being able to pick and choose.

Saints haven't been there for over a decade so they were always going to sell loads. I suppose when you're a big club like us and you've been in 9 finals in 10 years it can get a bit expensive and boring.

We'll sell around the same amount of tickets as Saints...we've some of us have got a weeks holiday this week in Perpignan...plus we're much wiser going around the block a few more timed than the Saints fans over the years for tickets.
So it'll just take us a little longer.

Your a small time club, this figure is clearly correct. The RFL are showing St Helen’s end massively outselling Warrington’s end, looks like you will be significantly outnumbered.

Hows your season going, mate?

Someone hasn't got over their 2 Wembley drubbings.

Just ignore him, he's one of the LeBron James 'Trotter's Independent Traders' types.

Would expect Saints to take more as people have said, they haven't been there for years so excitement will be at fever pitch, a bit like our first couple of trips of the recent era. Hopefully it will help boost the crowd and help us escape the ridicule we got from some after last years low numbers.

I would expect Wembley to exceed the 80,000 mark, given the fact it’s a double header with the 1895 Trophy & saints haven’t been there for a good few years as well as a local derby!

Apparently it's not a derby to many Saints fans. Only Wigan is a derby.
Hmmm

SeeTickets has just let me buy 15 all together in the 'Sold out' Saints end.

It's ok Agar will have to back in both finals next year and you can show everyone the 90,000 strong leeds fan base who will sell out Wembley on their own.

As there been a championship side at Wembley.....

Not for a long time... I'll have to check the archives.

There has certainly be relegated teams won at Wembley.
Featherstone being the last to do it.

He’s no more a Leeds fan than I am
