| Quote: Asgardian13 "It was always going to be a tough sell given Catalans fans are hardly likely to number the 15,000 plus that guarantees a good attendance. At least the RFL are doing something about it.'"
Saints vs Catalans in 2007 attracted an attendance of 84,241. We will be lucky to get within 20K of that number.
That's why I say grim times. It could be the lowest Wembley attendance since 1945/46 Wakefield vs Wigan.
And yes, good on the RFL for trying to save face at the showpiece event. Maybe they will consider their actions which may have led to this.

| I wonder if there will be much take up of tickets both from France & from French expats in the UK . There must be a lot of French expats in London & the south east. It would be good to see ,in the absence of royalty, May & Macron in the royal box.

| I know you were joking but its a serious point about Toronto etc. What if, in 5 years time, Catalans and Toronto are the two powerhouses of the game and meeting in finals? The GF could be a ghost town unless they make it a three game home and away series. Its just been published that almost all premiership sides could survive without a crowd....rugby league desperately needs it's spectators and the final needs bloody moving from this ridiculous gridlocked weekend.

I think I'm right in saying through, that 2007 was the first Challenge Cup Final at the new Wembley, which probably boosted the attendance.

Middle Tier accounts for 16,532 seats. When I last went to Wembley in 2016 I'd say it was sp but not deserted.

| We have fallen a long way in 30 years. The 1988 CC Cup Final between Wigan and Halifax attracted 94,273. And that was real bums on seats.

| Quote: worthing wire "I've just tried to buy some in the top tier - the only block in the top tier which seems open on the website is 552. 507 through to 513 aren't showing as sold out, apart from 510, but the site isn't allowing me to click on any of those blocks and buy seats...
The blocks you can't open are sold out but the site hasn't updated the stadium screen.

Quote: rubber duckie "Yes but W71 said the top tier is to be closed. I know this is incorrect because you can still buy tickets up there!'"
Ahem.
Looking at this the top tier appears completely closed now.

If this is true the maximum attendance can only be lower34,303 + middle 16,532 = 50,835.

He will deserve it if he contributes to a winning performance.
Clearly he has never done this in the past and thus has never deserved to be in a final, i suspect that the same scenario will occur tomorrow.:30555.jpg |

| Top tier definitely closed and fans being moved. We were originally in block 502 then moved us to 142 at the Cats end. Complained this morning directly to the RFL and all 7 of us a now in Club Wembley in the Bobby Moore suite.

Nice one. Complain again & they will be asking you to present the cup to the winners.

| I usually stick up for our game but this is nothing short of amateur, no communication no updates on social media at all and now just over 48 hours before a major final people are finding out they are being moved, theyll be people arriving on Saturday with no idea they've been moved.

Yes the link is to the ticket sales website where you need to log in to see the seating arrangement.
