Thankfully I was in sat with the Gods at the top of the 3rd tier so I couldn't see much. That said, even from up there it was still pretty obvious that Morgan Knowles had scored.

Plenty of tickets in all areas still available for Wembley. Just bought 5 myself in a club Wembley seat. Has any sat in the middle club Wembley tier ? and if yes what's different compared to other parts of the stadium ?

If/when that 3rd tier gets opened then I do see the potential of £25 tickets and £15 for concessions.

I am happy with those prices. Wembley is an amazing venue and this is a showpiece event in the nations capital. To hire Wembley will be expensive. I have just put these prices to people in my whatsapp group, some of which never go to super league matches and we are all happy to get CAT2 tickets. That said this is coming from me who paid £250 for 2 tickets to see "Frozen" the musical and about £80 a ticket to watch the "Paw patrol" on stage. Event costs are not what they use to be.

It Makes sense at this point. 2011 showed that a busy lower bowl still gives a respectable look on the TV. That upper bowl is huge (39,165) so to sell there from the off would be a mistake IMO. Get the lower bowl (34,303) done well along with club Wembley (16,532) and that is 50k. Then open the upper bowl for general sale, promotions, community club deals... ect With Moran having a financial interest it makes me wonder what's going to be done differently and what tricks he has up his sleeve. A high profile pre match announced ASAP could really drive these sales.

Wembley is extremely ambitious. It really needs the sport to come together to sell it and all pro clubs to buy into it. Looking through "X" nearly all clubs have mentioned the test series (what I believe is the biggest Rugby League announcement in recent years) Although I'm suspecting that the pigeons have not delivered their messages, and the smoke signals have yet to be seen in the Calderdale area because Fev, Cas and Wakey have tweeted nothing about the series.

For me it has to be against France in France. 3 tests Paris (attractive to UK fans and spread the word) Toulouse Perpignan It's not perfect but we need France to get up to speed and regular games are the only way. To start it won't be pretty but in 5+ years then who knows. On the back of what Catalans have been achieving this would be another boost to the French and the support is over there too.

I have just looked on linkedin out of interest to see who they are. Not exactly got a solid track record in selling top level sport.

So despite having a recent World Cup with a respectable list of sponsors we find ourselves with No series sponsor, no referee sponsor and poor ticket sales. RL commercial must have forgotten to call Fred Done. Anyway its over to the ones who always deliver....... The players. They deserve to be delivered a better stage. Going for Tonga by 4

Just nipped into St helens, and whilst I was there out of curiosity I went to the stadium. Around the the ground, shop and ticket office there is virtually nothing telling you that there is an International game on Sunday. Thousands must visit the tesco superstore next door so maybe a single roll banner would show some effort. The only thing visable was a graphic on the reception doors. I not sure it will even break 10k IMO. Shame as the Tickets are very reasonable.

Seen absolutely nothing about the game when I went to saints v wire the other week. Might have been in the program if they still sell them.

At the Samoan game litterally the row in front of me were geordies and the 6 lads behind where were Newcastle United season ticket holders.

And here we go "............. But catalans do not bring any away fans"

youtu.be/m_t9h-veTJM The last well attendance at a cup final (84,241 and it looks like it) and it even included a French team and no lies about club Wembley to inflate the attendance. Granted that it was the return to Wembley and will have definitely played a significant part in selling the event. It was also the year magic was introduced and the year Nigel wood become RFL chief executive. Personally I love the Cup and would rather travel to see a Leigh v Hull kr Cup final then watch my own side play a league game at magic. I'd love to see the Cup final planned as a genuine event and see 6 figure amounts invested into selling the game instead of paying off executives that have overseen its decline.

I will go 55,000, that is a big crowd, but not in Wembley stadium. I was always opposed to suggestions that the game should look elsewhere but I do no think there is any other options. Etihad campus in Manchester have big expansion plans. That would possibly be a good option.
