I know this will get some negative responses, but i'll say it anyway.

This is a no win situation for the clubs/RFL.
if they charge money for tickets, people complain.
if they don't, where does the prize money come from.
if we include play-off games in season ticket prices then these prices will have to go up resulting in people complaining if their club doesn't have a home play-off game.
If the clubs/RFL sell tickets at discounted rates, people will see the play-offs as a minor competition, after all, tickets for those games cost less than a regular league game.

I've seen people saying they can't afford play-off tickets because season tickets will be on sale soon... what does that have to do with anything? fans will have until november/december to buy their existing seats and until the end of december to buy season tickets at discounted prices. it's not as though people need to buy them the moment they go on sale.

To be honest, even if we get a solution everyone is happy with regarding play-off tickets, people will complain that their season ticket doesn't get them free cup tickets, or free tickets for internationals, or free tickets for away games. people will always moan, and at the moment, i don't see why

Stranger things have happened, queues at tickets offices and nothing at the turnstiles

Cash gates open on the East and South Stands.

does that mean unreserved seating in East?..or pot luck on where u get the ticket for?

Still reserved seating - you get given a ticket as you go through the turnstile with a seat number on. If you want to choose your seat then you can still buy it from the East Stand Ticket Office on the South/East corner.

or find an empty seat at the side of me.......as was the case
