EPIC TICKET OFFICE WIN!!!! Or...

4059 at the end of sales today, just under 3k left.

After all the outrage over the size of the venue . Doesn't surprise me in the slightest personally.

Anybody else buy there tickets today on the phone and get told the system was down? I was told to check my email for cofirmation of my booking but i have not recieved anything.Will ring tomorrow to check with ticket office.

The whole thing is so embarassing. Why aren't other clubs having these issues?

What's even worse is that we have sold half of our allocation and other clubs have almost sold theirs. Seems all the panic over the stadium was unnecessary.

I got exactly how many tickets I asked for exactly where I wanted them








Sat at home in front of the tv +cake

for me it wasnt even a question, challenge cup semis is a must see game
but based on the performances so far this season then watching another game on the tv is a very easy choice for some people
probably a lot of people thinking we are already in the final too

I didn't have a choice to make, I couldn't afford it. Only been to 2 games all year Bratfud away and Bratfud home

You have to say that both Leeds and the RFL seem to be sitting back from a position where expansion and marketing don't seem to be on the agenda, that makes sense for Leeds as the last thing you want for next season is a new influx of customers banging on the door and unable to get in, pointless spending money on marketing when actually next year you don't have the room for them and all your forecasts are made on lower numbers anyway.

I can't understand the lack of Challenge Cup marketing from the RFL though, its like they've all shrugged their shoulders and settled for the fact that they'll be lucky to sell 12000 tickets for a semi final and they may as well extract as much money out of those 12k as they can - its a business position but its not exactly Dragons Den is it, can you imagine James Caan's face when he asks you for your three year projections and you tell him it'll probably drop off a bit in year two and then you'll manage in year three with the hangers on.

What Leeds have found from this useful exercise is that they have around 1200 to 1500 prime milkers, the Jersey cows of the herd, the ones who'll be stood in line from 6.30am panicking a little if there are more than a dozen people in front of them, these people would pay £50 a ticket if asked and if the club haven't got their names, addresses and email details then they don't deserve to run a business, these people will buy everything that you put under their noses whatever the quality of the product - the only thing easier would be to sell heroin to addicts.

As for the rest, they might turn up and buy, there are no incentives to turn up and buy, its expensive if there's more than you to take and its on TV and you won't have to go to Doncaster if you don't bother with a ticket, and even worse than you not being bothered whether you go or not, neither are the RFL.

Shall me and you just run the RFL?

I rang the ticket office this morning and ordered two tickets for next Sunday. I even had a choice on where to sit as well.

Just looked on the RFL's eticketing website and the only tickets available are in the Leeds half of the stadium. There are 4 or 5 different blocks with availability.

i think the apathy is disgraceful, not to mention stupid. why the hell wouldn't you go to a semi final?
probably the same people who don't go to play offs because they have to pay.
they pay for a season ticket, watch the ordinary games then miss the big ones
