| Quote: NickyKiss "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.'"
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)

Still a few thousand left to sell in Hull KR's allocation - that might prevent a sell out.

I think a bit of circumstance has helped, with a major part in it being the fact the Yorkshire clubs aren't really bothering with plays offs anymore Leigh being away in two local games played it's part and HKR are selling pretty much every game out. The crowd at Warrington for the Saints game was probably the only slight downer but for whatever reason, Warrington fans haven't quite backed the side this year as you would expect, given how good they've been. The big surprise was probably the home supports of Salford and ourselves in the home games. We've pretty much been hardcore only for our home play offs in recent years but it was well above that on Saturday.

| I do think the upturn of the team and the connection with the community has a lot to do with the extra ticket sales in the semis. Also I went to the Leeds semi 3 years back and that was poorly attended by Wigan. Leeds brought loads and it felt like it lifted them. I do understand people not wanting to pay double the money and will hold out for the GF.

Full of half empty that place - for the GF - is always a pants atmosphere.
Air horns don’t count.

Finals don't tend to have the best atmospheres whether it's rugby, football or whatever. Wembley finals in football always feel a little underwhelming.

You’re not far wrong there but I’ve been to Wembley for club finals & big England games and enjoyed excellent atmospheres.
Apart from “Wigan, Wigan, Wigan” I can’t recall a single song I’ve heard sung at OT for any of the GF’s I’ve been at.

The singing fans are spread out a little more in finals I guess - in contrast to the vast majority of games with unreserved seating/standing.
More than anything I'm hoping to see a better game than last year. I don't want to be selfish as any Wigan win is great but these days I'm just as keen to see high quality rugby (I.e. intensity, skill, drama etc).

| Very much agree with that. Remember walking away from last year a little deflated despite the win.
What problems to have, eh

I don’t think Wigan will play an expansive game.
