But that's not what you did or said is it?
You came on telling us how your mate spent 3 months trying to get through on the phone and there queues larger than the ones at Calais at your club shop whilst he made 1 call to Wigan and got through.

FWIW I suspect Wigan may sell 4/5 thousand and Hull possibly double that if not more.
I would guess if the game had been held "Mid point" (Huddersfield/Leeds for example) then Hull would still probably take more.

Believe it or not I like it when the Hull clubs do well (Apart from some of the "Baggage" that comes with it) as it is proper Rugby League place.

I have now seen why the confusion - i havent quoted the post before mine stating that your tickets dont go on sale until tomorrow - explaining why my mate could get through........

Confusion sorted!
We can buy each other a pint at the game?
That's if you can get a ticket???
If not I'll get you one, there'll be thousands left apparently at our end

PS
2008 went on the RLFANS World Cup tour
Possibly best 5 weeks I've ever had and spent most of the time with about 20 Hull fans and 10 Sintelliners! In fact still stay in touch with half a dozen or so of them and meet up for a pint regularly at games.
Never judge a Book by it's cover

Never understood this 3 hour queue business in this day and age, I will just book mine via the Wigan Eticket website, worked ok plenty of times, costs £2 to get them posted out but hey no queue no driving to Wigan.
Glad you are selling well, we all know you will outnumber us and so you should being at Doncaster on a Friday night, but I will be there and it's what happens on the pitch not the ticket office that counts as Cas found out.
Who will win, I don't know, depends what 17 we can put out by then and who performs on the night, I am sure it will be a cracker, lets hope the best team wins which is what happened in both our Q/F's.

Agreed, as the game is a month off yet there is plenty of time for form to change (both Hull & Wigan have good form at the moment) and injuries to come and go.

This got me thinking, when was the last time Wigan and Hull were pitched together in a semi final?
Struggling to think of a time!

Just a hunch but it might be because ours only go on sale in the morning

Tell him give it another whirl tomorrow (although he'll still probably get straight through).

Just booked into the Earl of Doncaster Hotel - the bright lights of Donny await...

I'm doing the same, I work in Donny but live in Hull I'll ask at work the best places to drink before and after the game and post it on here nearer the time.

That would be handy.

I work in Manchester and have booked a half day so I can get the train over early with a mate of mine and have a few pre match beers. It only takes an hour and fifteen minutes on the train and an advance single was £7.50 (getting a lift back) so it's a no brainer

I get the sense we may be slightly outnumbered in the pubs (and the ground).

3 years in Donny at college in the 70's great pubs will all be different now . Stayed in the Earl of Doncaster while we were there . 5 of us booked into Park Hotel at the Stadium . Train £150 return each so taking the car 460 mile round trip should be fun.

Tickets purchased half way line

Tickets went on line about 09.10 , booked them by 09.15 right behind the sticks, you are going to have some big queues if you get to the GF, if you are queuing today you will get wet presume, enjoy the game

Hull FC have Sold Out, waiting for the West stand tickets to be delivered now. Your right Rugby League need a strong team from Hull and to be honest if you had both of us up there would be record crowds

The last semi i can remember was a John Smiths semi at Headingley - not sure of the year, its a fair while ago! I'm sure you (wigan) beat us something like 2-0 !!!!
