I do, personally, and I've made that clear in several posts. I hate this structure, which is what I think is the main reason for the low crowds. Next season we'll have a one-off knock game as the the only playoff game that doesn't count on a ST. The crowds should be much better. The RFL have stuck with this format with few discounted tickets for 6 seasons now and the attedances have been appalling across the board. But they obviously feel that they would rather earn the revenue of 7/8/9k tickets at full price than they would 15k at a discounted price. I don't agree with it, but it's the way it has been.
