There was a queue to get on line! Keep refreshing now waiting for the ST to change to GS.
It's done. Queue position 16 on the phone and straight through on-line. Simples.

have not read through al the 16 pages and someone might have already posted but I think a posssible answer to the problems of stadiums is at the start of the season to book a large capacity stadium and have the semi finals on the same day as a double header. For arguments sake we could book a 45000 seat stadium and the semi finalists ould recieve 9000 tickets each with the remainder sold by RFL or offerd to ay of the si finalists that sell out of their allocation. This would give all the semi teams plenty of tickets and stil show the game off with a full stadiuim

5 minutes, to register and buy , after a few attempts to get through on pone......sorted

Ordered wednesday, received today. Quite pleased with that.

So say Wakefield and Salford, Cas and Huddersfield get through to the semi final. Where are 9,000 supporters of each club going to come from?

How many supporters from other teams would go to watch that?

The game next week may not sell out. My mrs went to Wigan this morning and bought two tickets for a friend. There was no queue whatsoever, and this is the first day on open sale.

Over 500 sold this morning. Around 900 standing left.

Saints sales are going well also and they have got some more seating for East stand apparently. The game will probably sell out by tonight I should think.

I quite agree!

Just been online and bought my fiance's ticket now so he's happy

How



i ordered mine on wednesday morning but the ticket office told me they wont arrive till next week.

Bought mine over phone Weds lunch, arrived today!

I WONT BE HAPPY IF MINE AINT COME TODAY.

Over a week til the game, whats the rush?

there aint no rush. just want my tickets here now so i know i have got them.

Looks more than that, eticketing is showing 3300+ for the South, yesterday it was around 2500

I wasn't expecting mine until wednesday or something like that tbh.

Just picked some up from ground for someone from work. No problem .Noone else there .they said they still had "plenty" left

So now the fuss over the ground being too small has died down, there is no actual shortage.


Hmmm maybe there was a slight over reaction.

2004 Widnes flashback?

My only complaint is the price of the tickets. Semi-finals are a great chance for RL to show itself to the country on the BBC. We don't make a big enough deal of it. We should be charging 5-10 pounds for the tickets so that we can play the games at big stadiums and sell them out.

We need to build the semi-finals back up to what they used to be. A double-header at Elland Road one year would be pretty decent. Or maybe confirm every year that both semi-finals will be at Elland Road and sell tickets early.

At these prices though I will put up with the HJ, its not like each team could have sold 20k tickets. It will be a great atmosphere but I doubt any neutrals will turn on and think WOW, they will probably change the channel.

I thought it would sell out from Season ticket holders alone



It seems they are letting the casual (non-staunch) fan attend.

Plenty of time for the game to sell-out yet. Still one week and a day to go.

As much as I agree that lowering the ticket prices would bring more fans in, this tie should be selling out very quickly at this price. £22 really isnt that bad. We have nearly as many season ticket holders as the capacity of the HJ. I think some people buy their season tickets then dont like to spend any more money all season. This is a massive game and deserves a huge crowd in a suitable stadium. 25k at the Reebok would have been awesome.

As a complete side note as I am aware there is little comparison, both of the FA cup semi finals last year were priced £30-£60 at Wembley and attracted over 150,000 spectators over the 2 days.

Looks like we are on course to sell out the South Stand pretty soon, around 400 tickets left.

The thing is once the venue was announced any people made the assumption (wrongly as it turns out) that they would not get tickets people make alternative arrangements.

I have a group of mates who since they got older and started families and working they simply cannot do Friday night games all the time. They had ST's for years but no longer bother. They immediately "knew" they wouldnt get tickets so are now all getting together for a massive BBQ instead.

The only saving grace is that it will look great on the TV
and that the money for hiring a stadium has stayed within the game.
