final tickets

[FROM A TO B]

There will be enough for ST holders, so if not a ST holder, then maybe wise getting direct from RFL.
I'm going to wait until we beat Catalan and then get mine in the Wigan end!
When I phoned the RFL, they said approx 10k.
I don't expect every ST holder to go and know that quite a few have bought already, so not worried

I hope your right a to b because I would rather wait and get my ticket in the wigan end to

how come the rugby only get 10.0000 and football get twice as many

i think the final should be taken away from Wembley


it is a ridiculous situation with the there being as many as 10,0000 empty seats

we have got our tickets direct from the RFL

It would be a better idea if we did.

This is absolutely pathetic. 10,000 seats for the two finalists, is this how they expect the sport to be taken seriously? It's a massive insult when there isn't even enough for season ticket holders. If this is what comes of having a national stadium then I say let's go back to Cardiff or Murrayfield and sod the tradition. Just because football puts money ahead of the sport doesn't mean that we should go down the same route. We've had excellent Challenge Cup finals in different places over the last few years, we don't need Wembley if Wembley isn't going to let the fans enjoy one of the biggest days of the season. We might as well have the final at the McAlpine, plenty of room there for both teams to have 10,000 tickets each.

Although there will be one more potential season ticket holder ticket available for Wembley because I'll be in Taiwan on August Bank Holiday so I can't go. I'm cheering for the French during the semi-final...!

way I see it there are 2 sides to the argument

If wigan / saints / bradford get through then it should sell out, not sure about the club wembley issue

If cats get through there are going to be plenty of spaces left, just like last year when Huddersfield made it

Last year was the 1st time I can remember a cup final not being full by some way as Hudds only took one man and his dog

Take off the 17k "Club Wembley" seats that can't be sold, and the capacity becomes 73,000.

As you say, the lack of Huddersfield fans meant that last year's attendance was only 65k, but the three years before that, at Cardiff, were all over 70k.

2004 Wigan v Saints was 73,734.

Googling "club wembley" and I came across this article:

http://www.chelsea.vitalfootball.co.uk/ ... sp?a=62346

Interesting for a couple of reasons:

"It was widely expected that large numbers of these seats could well come up for sale, at vastly inflated prices, on the open market."

That might not be the case for the CC final - they may well be cheaper than face value, as demand will be so much less.

"We advise you not to wear club colours, we may at our sole discretion, refuse you or your guests entry to the stadium or remove you or your guests."

"Please remember that fans are not segregated in Club Wembley."

wouldn't be an issue for RL, but I wonder if they'd still enforce it?
