Should do but Wigan fans might expect to get through and save for the semi final like some Wire fans did against Huddersfield last year. Expect a good attendance for Huddersfield against Leeds however as it could go either way.

Wigan's attendance will be low. A lot of them won't be happy with the extra match thanks to a defeat, and will save their dough for Saints away and the final should they progress. Catalans will obviously not have a big travelling support so a four figure crowd is inevitable there I think.

Huddersfield V Leeds should be five figures easily though. Both sets of fans should be as up for that one as us and Wigan were for our Challenge Cup match.

For both sides it could be their last game of the season and not too far for the travelling support.

From the Wigan board.

"5693 unavailable seats as at tonight. I'm not sure if thats how many have been sold, or whether some of those seats were never available.

Its hardly an inspiring figure, even if all those seats were actually sold. The take-up of Saints tickets in the latter half of the week was pretty poor, so even an 8,000 crowd may be optimistic"

just over 7 thousand..disappointing really considering leeds filled the away end..be lucky to see 10 thousand at wigan on sunday

Wire v Huddersfield, same stage last year 8,050.

Nuff said, and there will be less Catalan fans at Wigan than there were Hudds fans at at Wire.

The top eight system as is in place doesn't work.

Shocking that. How tight are Huddersfield fans? They only pay around £80 for a season ticket dont they? Then barely turn up for the play offs. There was 10,428 for the game 2 weeks ago with i presume alot less travelling support.

But Wigan are the biggest RL club in the world aren't they?

So last nights game was 25% down on the SL game. Wigan V Catalans looks like being a bigger reduction. 13,134 for the league game. Looking like 8-10k for Sunday. Not good.

Its not that the top 8 doesn't work, its the ticket pricing that doesn't work which is the RFL's fault as it sets the ticket prices

The real flaw in terms of ticket sales is the fact that some teams may have to play three all-pay games on the bounce. We see in the Challenge Cup that the pay culture is not really there (and we also see it in certain FA Cup, Carling Cup and RU Cup games too, so it isn't just a RL thing). At least the Challenge Cup is quite spread out though.

To expect people to pay decent amounts three or four weeks running is too much. If Wire win next week, this will have been a very expensive 4 weeks for many fans.

True Dave, if you factor in Wembley, it's an expensive time of the year.

Should be thankful that the prices are nothing like in football.

And don't forget we are all having to renew season tickets in the next few weeks, I am a pensioner and at a guess it will cost me £700 over the last few weeks for the two of us and the next few weeks if we get through to the final a lot of money. Yes of cause I will go to all the games but I must admit I did think about going to the first play-off or not but I went because we were getting the LLS. Having supported Wire since 1975 could not miss that no thought at all is given to the fans, it is all take take take and sooner or later it will come back to bite them.

Sorry for going on a bit but hate clubs and the Rugby League just assuming fans are going to keep on paying look at the prices for the final I will be going if we get there but feel it is a rip off. The whole concept of having so many games close together needs looking at no point in having games that are meaningless when even the losers go through

You say that, but when it comes to games outside of regular Season Ticket games, even Football clubs provide offers. Man City v Villareal in the Champions League has a pricing structure of:
Adults: £25
16-21s / Over 65s: £15
Under 16s: £5

For a Wire playoff game, it costs £7 more for kids (to stand).

For FA/Carling Cup games, Man Utd charge kids a tenner for anywhere in the ground. It looks like the same structure is in place for Europe.

It is not very often we can complain about pricing for RL events, but these playoff games are wrong, no matter what people say.
