buy from the RFL but from memory they still use ticket master, but you will find lots of fans buy from the RFL as you can get them before the club(s) put them on sale usually the day after the semi
And this is really poor too. Am I being unreasonable to say that fans ought always to get a better deal by going through the club (whether through preferential pricing, or prior access, or choice of the best seats), than going through the RFL? Otherwise, why even bother with the club selling tickets, let everyone buy from the RFL and that's it.

i agree, and up until recently i've always bought through the club, but last year GF i went straight onto ticket master and bought 5 tickets just after the game had finished

i know the RFL need to try and sell tickets for the neutral fans for both the CC and GF, and i've no issue with that, however, the 2 ends should be kept for the clubs mutually to sell, unless the club says they wont be able to sell them, and therefore let the RFL try to sell them

with online sales now available, there is no reason why a club cannot have them available on ticket master immediately after kick-off, however, i do accept that this is likely to upset a lot of season ticket holders, as they dont all purchase online, and want to queue up at the ticket office. The same rules around ST holders etc could be applied but you still wouldnt please everyone

Depends on if you want your regular seat or not I guess, I like sitting where my ST's are, so will always get them through the club, likewise with Grand Final tickets (or they used to be), certain sections are reserved for ST holders before they go on general sale, so you can often get the better seats behind the sticks

They still are selected sections for the clubs fans only which don’t go through the RFL
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

I'd prefer my regular seat too, and managed to get it today for the semi. But when I said, might as well buy from the RFL rather than the club, I was referring to GF tickets. Personally i don't like being behind the sticks much.

Sorry if this has already been covered.
I’ve bought my semi final tickets today online (non season ticket holder)
I’ve had a confirmation via email I’ve bought the tickets but the digital tickets weren’t attached with the email confirmation.
Normally when I buy online I get the tickets instantly.
Anyone else experienced the same this week?
I’m guessing they may be sent in a future email nearer the time?

i'm a non season ticket holder (used to have one) but logged onto ticketmaster yesterday, ordered 4 south stand tickets no problems at all, and i could probably have done it before 5.30 which seemed to be the ST renewal time but waited until after to purchase

not a lot of South Stand tickets left when i logged on, so would expect the stand sold out signs at some point today

EDIT : looks like unsold season tickets have been released, so the South looks like quite a few tickets now available
That’s disappointing.
