Queued up for 4 hrs and left without a ticket. After a lot of aggro with the RFL website eventually managed to get seats in the Catalans end behind the sticks. Never known a website so slow but I guess half of Wigan was trying to book tickets by then. There are obviously a lot of seats free at that end as I believe Catalans have only asked for a thousand tickets. The RFL recently told clubs that they were withholding some central funding from the clubs due to cashflow problems. Not surprising given that they cant seem to organise the distribution of tickets for one of their annual events that had been planned months in advance. The RFL must be the most inept sports governing body in the world.

Question on the safe standing section mate, was everyone standing?

I was considering them tickets but saw a comment saying everyone in them last year was sitting.

If we get back to the GF I might consider going in there.

Were in North N2405 between the 30m and 40m lines. A good mixture of fans with no trouble whatsoever. I don't like watching a game from behind the posts so these seats were ideal, I'd rather pay a bit more and have less bother.

We’ve done safe standing a couple of times now. It was great on Saturday but we were right at the back. We did it for the WC final and we were at the front and that wasn’t great because people behind were sat down and then you felt like you had to and to say it was cramped was an understatement.

I'd have hated to have had to sit down. Luckily enough for us, we got in earlier than we normally would and naturally stood up, anyone who came after kind of just followed our lead.

Personally, I thought it made it a better atmosphere + the organisation of the seats/rows made it a better experience than traditional, free for all standing areas.
