Oh I should have bought them last week! I wish I had thought of that instead of being on the phone for two hours NOT buying them last week.

Are you sorted now? (I hadn't seen mention of 2 hours on the phone last week, did you also try online and have the same issue?)

The Keepmoat number was for the disabled car parking as passed on to me from the RFL. I wasn't offended, just wanting some people to accept that there was a problem for some of us who chose to go down the route that the club advertised for Wednesday tickets.

As others have said, what should have been a straightforward transaction (a little wait on the phone or a queue on line acceptable) turned into something of a farce. For what its worth I was on holiday on Wednesday, coming home Saturday afternoon, I originally was happy they were on sale online or via RFL because I thought they would be going on sale from the club while I was away. I'd be intrigued to know what the reasons where for doing it the way they did, it worked perfectly well last year, the tickets being sold from a couple of terminals from the club shop.

I don't think the club will explain, unless people write to them etc. Let's hope we win and any issues people had are worthwhile.

Here here Chris, and exacerbated by lack of foresight which allows the possibility of Hull and Leeds playing together and having only the option of the Keepmoat as a semi final venue. It just makes everything more difficult as some people will do the quick maths and realise there could be problems getting tickets so to make sure they get what tickets they need, many feel compelled to queue when there is no need, and a larger venue would have taken away that added complication.

Yes I tried online.

No, we aren't sorted now which is why I was wondering if, as a non-member, I should be able to buy the dozen tickets I need on Wednesday?

It was difficult for those who felt the need to queue through the night. Whether their concerns were real or not, The whole situation created this anxiety and it can't have been pleasant for those who were there from the early hours and some even before the game had finished.
Being outside when it's raining with no cover I've been told is more than difficult.

.... but why should the club be blamed for this? Did they tell the RFL to start selling tickets early?

The RFL advertised 10

I've not blamed the club I have said it has been poorly organised and handled and pointed out the issues.

Whether we like it or not the whole ticket situation has been poorly handled by those concerned be it our club and/or the RFL, there has even been an admission of sorts by the RFL saying they were overwhelmed with demand on Weds.

What should have been a simple transaction has been made into something far more difficult than it needed or should have been.

Only thing I could suggest is calling the club or RFK, but it sounds some people have had problems with getting help that way too...

How would you have done it?

The club said that any remaining tickets will then go on general sale from 9am on Wednesday so I'm wondering if, as a non-member, I should be able to buy the dozen tickets I need on Wednesday.

A ticketing website owned by the club linked to your membership. Fairly simple and I'd guess there are even championship level clubs who have this

There's no point asking on here although I doubt you'll get 12 tickets together

But there isn't one, as we all know, so that is not a simple answer.
