They both had much bigger stadiums.

His use of the word 'problem' confused me somewhat. What's the problem?
There wasn't an issue with all being unreserved seating at the other venues. Now people have to pay £45 for entry even if they don't want a reserved seat.

That's their problem for leaving it so late. You could get unreserved tickets up to less than a week before the event.

So your solution would be to make people have to pay £45 even if they don't want an unreserved seat?
Tough. They should have bought their tickets earlier.
Would you be complaining if it didn't sell out as well?
Seriously, only in rugby league.

| There's always the possibility that they'll open an upper tier and make it unreserved as well.

Yep, had it in 2008(?) on the Saturday and couldn't face the dullness on the Sunday so went on lower tier

Surely that should be an option now.

| I'm busy much of the weekend, can I come just before the Saints v Wigan game and pay for just that game?

| The problem will still be that despite selling out unreserved seats the majority of supporters will be selective as to which games they watch. They might watch their own and stay for the next game or in my own case I'll probably turn up just before the Leeds v Bradford game and catch that before Wigan v Saints. The result is that games are invariably played in front of half full stadiums at best.
You can place all the spin you like on it about it being a success but the fact remains that the casual viewer switches on and sees a game played out in front of masses of empty seats.
Therein lies the primary flaw in the Magic weekend concept. (Thats before the artificial skewing of the final league placings of course).

I'm sure most people would agree; as big a fan of rugby league though we may be, sitting through four consecutive games will give anybody a square arsé.

Not to mention a fortnight's silent treatment from the wife. Actually that's probably an argument in favour of getting there earlier on Sunday.
