I'm with you on this. Pre-game I'm happy to have a pint in the fanzone and then not bother at all inside the stadium. I sit in the South and the queues are ridiculous at times. I've seen folk near me literally miss twenty minutes of a match for the sake of a couple of beers (and it ain't that good either).

People are silly for doing that (and I am definitely not one) but tbh the club really need to sort out the queues. It's completely unacceptable that it takes as long as it does, even when the stands aren't full.

When we played Saints at Cardiff they had a system where they filled 8 pints at a time Tottenham was quick they filled from the bottom up

the beer situation on Saturday wasn't good either - what happened to those automated dispensers, they might have eased the pressure.

Those 2 pint glasses shouldn't be allowed in the half hour before kick off, also get some other decent lager, literally everyone drinking Madri, no one on Carling, was a waste of a tap on the bar.

My partner and I are in S122 this year, good to hear about the mix.

Same here, was sat there last year and it wasn't full of beer monsters so there was none of that stand up sit down for 80 mins

RFL might have to release more blocks at the top of the North Stand if they haven't already been sold, looks like it's heading for a sell out or near as dammit

Going to be an unbelievable atmosphere

i've just bought 4 with the pigeons in W3101 (next to back row, so i should get my steps in for the day too)

the Wigan general sale had only odds and sods, which is good if its true, but equally i'm not sure i trust the system that much, as i couldnt add any ticket into the basket

Looks like we've sold out the club's allocation - a few moaning there's no availability but surely right that ST holders get the priority they didn't have last year and great that there's so much demand. I still think it will be easy enough for everyone who wants to go to get in the stadium but some probably won't want to sit in the very highest seats.

Our tickets went on general sale at midday and beforehand there looked to be plenty left but looking at the ticket map now on the Wigan site, it looks to just be the odd single. The HKR tickets have flown out as well and they're opening more blocks on the RFL site on a regular basis (up in the Gods), so it's looking well on course to be a massive crowd. Outside of the stuff on the field, it's been so pleasing to see great crowds at every single play off game.

i think thats the gripe though, as it didnt look like the allocation was sold (didnt see myself), but then they've gone on general sale and only odds and sods available

if we have sold them all then fair play but i couldnt add a single ticket to my basket, every one generated an error (logged out and back in too ), so i went RFL and purchased mine with the pigeons

its strange as the playoff crowds have certainly bucked the trend of recent years, and i wouldnt say there is a particular reason why, as its not been promoted more than usual, but definitely good to see and what we should be aiming for each year now with sell outs each round

Maybe the increased crowds are a sign that the IMG partnership is paying off

Not sure if any blocks haven’t been put on sale yet (doubt it as it’s only cheap seats showing for sale) but there only seems a limited number of tickets left for sale, not many in the West and East with the bulk in the gods in the North Stand, could well be a sell out which is a boost after a run of pretty disappointing attendances (although I thought last year was good considering it involved Catalans)
