About 13k sold?

Pretty poor effort, there's got to be a simple solution for playoff and Challenge Cup games getting poor crowds, it can't just be coincidence that it's the non ST games that struggle.

And Wigan are the best supported team, can you imagine the threads if Huddersfield had made it to this stage...

But honestly, I don't know what you expected.

The atmosphere will still be awesome though

There'd be more people on the thread

Actually when you look at that properly they've sold 15040 tickets.

Because absolutely nobody will be paying on the night

I think that another 5000 tickets isn't out of the question and I don't think anyone would grumble at a 20k+ crowd. Even 3k more would be a decent crowd.

Are playoff games a shared gate? Was wondering if that's why the advertising of the game isn't all over the place, less in it for Wigan.

All monies got to RFL for distribution based on finishing position (Winner/Run.Up/Semi Fin etc......)

Understandable that Wiganers don't want to contribute to the pot that's going to the 'Wire Players Wives Backhanders' fund when we win it!

you need to ignore the North Stand numbers as they are unavailable to Wigan fans. At the moment it looks like Wigan have sold just under 10,000. Add in what Leeds bring and those who will pay on the gate.

I'd guess about 12,500 - 13,000 will be there tonight.

Anything over 13k would be a good crowd imo

I go for between 16-18k tonight with plenty paying on the gate.

Respectable enough and a real good atmosphere.

We've sold 1700 so far which is more than we took to Warrington for this stage last season.

I expect 18000 for the wigan - leeds game and 13000 for the saints - wire game.

Leeds had sold 1,700 advance tickets and they remain on sale until 3pm today.

But these are the SEMI FINALS of our premier competition. Say what you like about Union (and I mean domestic, not International) but they sell out the equivalent games. It's not "the fans fault", that's ridiculous. I'm going, and I genuinely have no idea why its not sold out, but that's the thing - somebody who's paid to do this sort of thing needs to find out quickly why the heck our premier competition looks, to the outside world, as if even RL fans don't give much of a t**s about it.
