Am i missing something here?

I bought 2 tickets for the Wembley double header a couple of months back for a total price of £22 including delivery, so tickets were on sale for £10 if you bought them earlier.

No, you aren't missing anything. I incorrectly assumed I might be able to get a few tickets a month before the event, especially with half the stadium currently empty, but apparently not, my bad!

The point is is that this is hardly encouraging for walkups and people who make a last minute decision to come to the game. Great, well prepared Rugby League fans managed to snare a ticket for £10, but there are little to no options for casual supporters now, as is being discussed on this thread.

Cheers for the link TMWA.

Ah right fair enough, i agree the offer should still be on.

So I assume you were against the £10 ticket offer?

At least there is an offer still on, just checked the link TMWA provided and it looks like a winner. See you there

Joel Tomkins?

If the offer was still on, it wouldn't be an offer, it'd just be the price.

If people want to take advantage of an offer, they need to do it at the time it's on. However, the RFL need to make people aware of these offers otherwise people don't know. They seem to just come about willy nilly, which is poor marketing.

In the mid 90's the Cougars had two massive coach trip each bringing a thousand kids to internationals at Wembley...

We wanted to attempt another this year , but the fact that the RFL took till the back end of July to announce the ruddy fixtures made organization damn near impossible ...

Anyone actually know how ticket sales are tracking?

And on the opening of upper tiers, they can open blocks at a time to restrict seated areas and reduce operating costs. It really is pathetic restricting the casual fans options on seating only to find out that you could have bought your tickets at a later date in your preffered areas or find yourself in an ordinary seat at the game looking at thousands of empty ones.

On to something there. When tickets went on sale, there was far too much going on in the club season to chase around people getting cash off them to organise tickets and travel to Wembley. By the time the club season reaches it's end, the prices have gone up, the selection controversy starts up and in the end what has been a party of 25+ for previous England games is now at er, one, and even he's only going on a corporate freebie.

Why cant you get over selection controversies, it doesnt effect kiwi or aussie fans?

The RFL has the ability to allocate tickets to clubs (or groups) on a sale or return basis giving yourselves plenty of time organise payments and numbers before returning the tickets to general sale. This should have been encouraged by the RFL especially with junior clubs in order to use the event not only as an experience but a way to raise a few funds for the club.
