Ok, so I have found that the Championship 1 game is at 4.05pm and the Championship final at 7pm. Not sure when the trophy final is, but assume 1pm or so.
Will have to try and find someone to cover for work in that case!

| Are any of you going to this?
East Leeds v West Hull - 11.45am
Hunslet v Oldham - 4.05pm
Leigh v Fev - 7pm
With the half-price offer on until 5pm today, I frankly think it is daft not to go - £12.50 max for a day of rugby? Plus, I suspect it might be a chance to watch some decent moves being palyed out - and we all know it has been a while since we had any of those to cheer on at Headingley!  |

I'm ordering Tickets in 30 minutes, like you say it's 3 games of Rugby League at HQ.
Decent day out hopefully.
Question which hasn't been answered yet is do we know if the South Stand is open?

South Stand, Closed for Sunday.
Segregation purposes apparently.

I had a reply from the RFL over the weekend it said;
"We have not yet released the South and West stands, these will only be released if the North and East stands are full, this will be very unlikely at this stage as we still have tickets available."
If you look on the website, not even the parts at the front of the North stand are avaialble to buy yet.
Also, the 'Leeds50' discount code (which is valid until 5pm) is not working on the site today, so you have to call them up in person and quote it to get your ticket with the discount!
Which I did - £2 fee for doing so, so my half-price £25 ticket actually cost me £14.50.

They have updated the website since this morning when I last looked;
https://www.eticketing.co.uk/rle/detail ... emref=9927
Looks like I am going to be sitting in with the Leigh and Oldham fans, as I got my ticket before this was announced.
I had chosen where I did so I would have the same view as where I have from the SS (though from the opposite side, obviously). |

This has turned out to be a bit of a fiasco in terms of how they have done it - unsurprisingly the code has done the rounds on the forums so there was a frenzy of calls from Leigh fans this morning until somebody selling the tickets twigged and started asking them to prove they were from Leeds, whilst Fev fans were understandably somewhat aggrieved to find that half-price tickets were available for Leigh's section but not their own.

All seems to be of been a bit of a farce if I'm honest.
I got asked all sorts of questions this afternoon and even now I've no idea if I've got my ticket.
They did say they would send me an email...nothing.
Typical RFL yet again.
Jamie - Do you have an email address I can contact the RFL?

I had emailed the Rhinos ticket office and presumably it got forwarded on. I got an email back from;
ticketing@rfl.uk.com
I had my season ticket with me when I called - I think the Rhinos have stuffed up more than the RFL on this one in fairness; advertising it as for 'season ticket holders / members' then putting an article on the website that everyone can see. So when I called up today, the bloke wanted me to physically say 'Leeds50' without telling me to say it (I had said 'I am calling as a Rhinos season ticket holder entitled to a half-price ticket, but your site won't accept the discount'). The RFL's fault is in not taking a membership / season ticket number as mandatory when people have been calling up.
So actually both are at fault - Leeds for setting it up and the RFL for not putting anything in place to keep scammers out once Leeds' actions had given them the chance to try and scam.
And I will be surrounded by all those Leigh scammers all day on Sunday, which will be lovely! If any of you guys are about, let me know if you want a drink with someone relatively sane / together. There'll be plenty of time!  |

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

The 'scammers' was a bit tongue-in-cheek in response to the comment saying that lots of Leigh fans had used the code, whereas fans of Fev (for instance) had not been able to use it because the ticket-sellers had cottoned on to it.
Nothing personal against Leigh fans; they were taking advantage of Leeds' / the RFL's lunacy - but similarly it is slighlty unfair that they were able to take advantage but fans of other teams were less able to do so.

I emailed Ticketing yesterday afternoon and as of yet no response.
I'll give it until lunch time and I'll ring them.
With the South Stand closed I've decided to have a change of scenery in the North Stand, Block C, Row E.

I'm fortunate to remember simpler days when attending a RL game or event wasn't such a ball ache and one could just chillax instead. You just turned up, paid your admission at the turnstile and enjoyed the game.
These days, it's all about having to go out of your way to purchase a ticket in advance, whether that be online, over the phone or in person. But best to purchase a ticket several days prior to the event in order to qualify for a cheap discount. Better still, is there an offer code available? Does it get you a better deal than some other scrote within a highly competitive marketplace? <yawn>
It's the same ball ache buying a friggin train ticket or working out which utility company you should get your gas and electricity usage bills from. Nothing straightforward, just lots of unnecessary obfuscation and time-consuming hurdles to overcome just to avoid extortionate prices and being ripped off.
I've got a better idea.
This event (like so many others) can go get ******
