stop ya whinging

we're on target to break the 4nation attendance record....what more can they do?

No, I wouldn't say so. They have the play off semis to promote and 70 odd thousand tickets to shift for the Grand final. All focus and energy needs to be concentrated on that at the moment. The promotion for the Wembley double-header should begin at the Grand Final with a press release about the extended seating sent out on the Monday afterwards.

If they were to open the upper tier with lower priced tickets now that would detract some attention away from the Grand Final and means that folk are more likely to buy the cheap tickets behind the sticks than the more expensive ones in the middle of the pitch. This way they're concentrating resources and making sure there is less chance of big gaps in the middle of the pitch.

I'd say the best course of action would be to open up the upper tier of Wembley, have a knock down price range (£10-25 adults, £10 all concessions) and launch it at the Grand Final by getting the England train on squad, all wearing England jackets, to walk on pitch before the match and have someone announce the new offer.

Are they? Who has said this?

I know that the RFL have already hit their minimum target on the Wembley attendance. No idea what this is but would imagine about 40,000.

Expect the big push after the Grand final.

I got 50 tickets at the £10 offer. Running a bus trip from Hull.

whats happening with middle tier the club wembley people cant use it for this match. I bet the bottom tier alone only holds about 32,000.

Anything above this is pretty respectable IMO, given that there are few weekends where more than 70k fans attend a game.

A lot more people doing things like this would make such a difference to RL.

Lower tier: 34303
Middle tier: 16532
Upper tier: 39165

Cant wait, got my tickets and will be making the short trip south down the A1.

it isn't rocket surgery is it?

That's the advantage of playing at a higher capacity and profile stadium, it's easier to take influence none RL fans to attend. I've bought 8, 5 of which are new/dormant fans.

I am bringing along 2 friends, whose first RL game was the challenge cup this year, but we got the tickets for a tenner, at that price they could not say no!

6 of us going. One lads an RL virgin, bringing his brother. They're the same kind of RL fans who watch it on SKY and enjoy RL, yet living in Macclesfield, never get the chance to see a game.

Took a lad from Stockport and a lad from Manchester to the Cup Final and both say they're going to go to watch Salford next year.
