The CC final has always been sold out. But besides that, you save a lot of fuss - and get tickets right behind the sticks, which is fantastic! And the total price is no more than the face value ticket and I don't have to mess around at the Wigan ticket office: they are sent directly to my home.

Plus if you don't want to risk all your money up front for a ticket to a game that you don't want to see, then this is a great idea.

Wembley capacity: 90,000

2009 attendance 76,560
2008 " 82,821
2007 " 84,241

Twickenham capacity 82,000

2006 att: 65,187

Prior to that, we almost filled Cardiff on two out three finals, but that only has a 74,500 capacity.

Before that, the last time the "old" Wembley was anywhere near full was in 1988.

thought it was full later than that as the capacity went down to 80 odd thousand didnt it.

It did, but we never filled it, consistently around the 77k mark IIRC.
