When oh when will the authorities - be it Olympics or Wembley - get the ticketing sorted out.

Attendance at 79000 !
As if.

I didn't want to be in the 3rd tier and tried to get into the lower tier - 4 seats.
No chance.

Yet - lo and behold - looking down from on high there were many empty 'groups of 4' seats, and in the third tier lierally hundreds of spare seats in the middle of the tier.

Overall - very underwhelmed by all of this - and the only thing that spoiled the day.

Now if I want seats for the GF what do people recommend?
I reckon just ring the RFL and ask them what's the crack

Just because nobody was sat in them on the day, doesnt mean the tickets weren't sold. The blocks of seats could easily have been for an organisation who got them for free and simply couldnt be bothered.

The empty sets were purchased by Wigan fans who could not sell their tickets.

Yes - that could be the case, but if it's the latter it's a poor show - just like the Olympics

You are a wicked, wicked man.

Again i'll say it, don't care, i was there, the atmosphere was great and my weekend was brilliant, the people who could have filled the seats are the ones that missed out.

We had about 4 empty seats in our row block 108 lower tier

I'm assuming you bought your tickets from the club. If you bought them on the RFL website you could have got four together in the lower tier easily.

The RFL website always states in advance who is going to be in which end so you know as soon as you win the semi where you want to be buying tickets, and they do the same for the Grand Final too. No need to purchase from the club whatsoever.

Yep - it'll be RFL for me next time

2013

What about the GF - is it the same situation?

just sit down, enjoy the game, be glad and thankful you are there and not worry about those empty seats!


just an idea mind

I did enjoy it, it was my favourite of the three. I'm just surprised that the seats seemed to have been sold 'from the back' first.

get the tickets from the rfl website you can choose your area

My brother got them from the RFL. He was getting some stick until it tanked it down.

Though I think, while you can choose your block, you have no control over which row they offer you.
