Not even that.. the half that Leeds have on the touchline holds 4139 i believe, and could have just given us that for the game at this rate. |

Top tier of stand behind sticks now open and Leeds fans can pay on day in this stand.
Also, didnt realise this but RFL site says top tier of touchline stand 'currently not on sale'.

Are you sure they weren't just taking the p[ii[/iss out of your 'ancient & loyal' fans?
Edit: Ok maybe not having just read our thread.
I've chosen a weekend in Skegness over this one. Never really fancied it since they announced the Galpharm as the venue, that and its been about 6 months since the quarters - I cant even remember who we played! |

That's usually reserved for corporate though anyway isn't it? |

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

| Of course it will be an embarrassing crowd, there will be lots of people from Yarkshire there!!...  |

From what I heard yesterday we've now sold out the lower tier and also there's only a few remaining in the side blocks. That's why they've had to open the upper tier presumably for the walk ups.

The top tier of the Direct Golf UK Stand is closed, for both teams, Which would hold about 4138, The Britainia Resue Stand is closed, which holds 7'000, which is quite shocking. That would mean Wigan were given over 6k (4054 in away stand, and 2069 Direct Golf UK Stand bottom tier), and Leeds given about 7k (2069 from Direct Golf UK Stand bottom tier and 5'170 in the Fantastic Media Stand). Leeds have only just opened the top tier of the Fantastic Media Stand, which holds about 3k of this stand. Tickets will be available on the day in the top tier of the Fantastic Media Stand.

Official site reports that we have "less than 300" tickets left from our initial allocation...but doesn't say what that allocation was, as far as I can see...

My dad got the last 5 for behind the posts this morning according to the girl in the ticket office.
Hopefully plenty will pay on the day.

Still think when times are hard they should look to the double headers, two for one in a 30k stadium, could have put it in Birmingham area or South Yorkshire. Allocate 6.5k per team leave some for the neutrals, expansion, cost saving, value for money and competitive games all rolled in to one.
The game shouldn't need double headers but i think a bit of realism needs injecting, it would be great if we could fill two decent sized stadiums with two games we can sell off to the media for a profit, but it isn't happening, so help the fans out and plan accordingly.

| Quote: Odem "I agree that the attitude of RL fans is poor. That is why marketing these games is so important.
If the games should sell themselves, why should any RL clubs bother having a marketing team?
The pricing was spot on for this game.... but if Wigan can advertise around town, make TV adverts, put together a proper marketing campaign for their big games.. all on a lower budget than the RFL, then what on earth are the RFL doing to marketing the big games?
The GF is the one which sells itself. For Wembley and internationals they send info to people who are ALREADY RL FANS.... and for the magic weekend they do a decent job to get so many people to a failing concept.
The semi-finals have nothing.'"
You shouldnt need to Market it a semi final. I wonder how many extra bums on seats those Wigan tv ad added? |

How about getting rid of the neutral venue and tossing a coin for home advantage? YOu'd think the fans of whoever lost would get ther in force to shout their team on. Or maybe allocate tickets slightly differently? Just a crazy thought.
