I just had a look and I can't see any of these £20 tickets on the seat map, but if they are doing that it is selling this game short.
Just another Rugby League fan with fake news trying to put down the game.

Funny been thinking the same last few days.

18k seems pretty decent at this stage. The trouble with a 90k stadium is its pretty impossible to create a real sense of urgency like the other venues.
They are simply not going to sell at a steady rate 6 months in advance either. That is why regular marketing and targeted advertising is important to shift a few thousands here and there throughout the next 6 months.
What the RL should do is take a page for a advert in every Programme that is printed from Leeds to the Hurricanes, aware lots of clubs don't do them, they could take on pitch side adverts at games due to be on TV.

Have a look at National Express coaches.
Have a word with your local NE coaches about running coaches to game plenty of time to sort it plus advertise the journey. The website for the English football association, the Emirates FA Cup and the England football team

Has anybody spotted anything in mainstream media ? aware Daily Express have RL reporter but nothing so far. Noted a few articles in North West papers like the Liverpool Echo would be great if at least one of the mainstream paper did a write up. I think if the RL are thinking of doing a advert in any paper besides the Rugby League Express which I think would be a waste of funds has i found out the other week couldn't find it around Birmingham New Street even WH Smiths didn't have it so i would go for the Metro which is on 90% of rail stations across the UK.

Are any club's or travel companies putting on buses to Wembley from heartland towns? It would surely encourage a lot more fans to go. I'm only considering going at the moment, mainly cos of the hassle of the travel but if there was a bus that would pick me up in Hull and drop me right at the stadium, I'd certainly go.
Have a look at National Express coaches.

The amount of beers they will sell will be crazy. When the rugby was in Vegas a couple of months ago think they sold a record amount of drinks

I have decided not to delete my Everton Sold Out email. In April! Hats off to Moran and the team.
Next step: do what they have done so far, and Wembley will be bigger than big.
I think we will beat the British record aggregate this time, with 70 something k on. With a fair wind the all time Ashes record could go.
I have a pet peev which is that we are constantly portrayed as a “small” sport, confined to the north - so much so that we even believe our own press. We watch the greatest game and our reach, and our audience is the equal and more of any sport after football, cricket and the fatties. If one byproduct of the imminent massive crowds is to make us all believe in ourselves more then we could be feeling the benefits for decades to come.
I live in South Devon & last two visits up to London for RL WC & Cup Final i have been surprised with amount of RL Fans on train back to the South West plus South Wales so i expect to see a few for the Wembley game.

There are literally thousands of kids in London who will never get the chance to get into Wembley. The RFL need to target schools next week and be hitting them with the 15 pound tickets.
Why ? only just sold out Everton & got months to sell out Wembley. Lets hope the media help by running stories of 2 sold out stadiums already.

I think the sold out Headingley and lack of availability at Everton already shows that.
Yep but still some RL Fans think its all rubbish so a update Sunday or Monday morning before public sale might shut some of them up.

Why? We had various updates last week. I'd like to know as much as anyone but it's not really necessary to give weekly updates either.
So it will show certain Rugby League fans that it was a worth having a priority sale plus push other fans to buy there tickets now not later.

Well around 48hrs before they go on general sale it would be nice for the RL to inform the Rugby League public how many tickets where sold under the priority sales & what is left to sell at Everton & Wembley.

They were on sale outside the ground: by the players' entrance on Heritage Road and between the cricket ground end stand and the turnstile on the Heritage Stand side. Impossible to miss the women sellers. Perhaps they'd all been sold by the time you arrived. Cover scan attached.
Never heared anybody say, picked one up Sunday at the Hurricanes game only Prog i have seen for about 2 seasons.

Off to Mount Pleasant, Batley (for the first time in several years), to watch the Dewsbury Moor Maroons-Dewsbury Rams Challenge Cup second round tie (25/1). Finished 6-50 (0-32 HT). £15 admission, £3 for a 20-page programme, teamsheets free, 1,252 attended.
As a contest, disappointingly done and dusted after just 12 minutes, when the League One semi-professionals led 18-0. Best spell for the NCL's Moor was the five minutes or so immediately after half-time, during which Jack Clarkson touched down off a spilled bomb and, from wide on the left, Gregory Colbridge converted.
Rams scored six tries (four converted) in the first half, when they were playing down the Mount's slope, and three (all converted) in the second. Two apiece for stand-off Dan Coates and second row Joe Summers. Scrum-half Jacob Hookem scored a try and kicked the seven conversions. Moor conceded far too many penalties and, in the second half, had prop Aaron James (66) and loose forward Bradley Adams (76) sin binned for tackles the ref didn't like the look of.
Not much of a game, to be honest (certainly, for a neutral). The teams were clearly short on matchplay at the start of their seasons. A heavy, disintegrating pitch didn't help.
Guy on the gate told me Batley offered the best deal for staging the tie. He said the RFL took exception, at Moor's ground, to the 100-yard walk from dressing rooms to pitch and to the size of the dugouts (four seats not enough).
£3 for a 20-page programme, teamsheets free, 1,252 attended. WHAT prog i was at this game never seen a prog ?

I also think there's been next to no publicity down here unless you're already following rugby league media - my friends didn't know it was happening until I told them.
So I reckon a fair bit of that is the northern fans. We've barely scratched the surface of the London audience yet.
Understand the Times did a write up last weekend.

It does sound as if we have no way of contacting the tens of thousands of London & SE fans who went to the Emirates in 2022, and have chosen not to bother at all with local folks who went to a Wembley or WHL CCF in recent years. Not only is it odd, it is once again alienating.
I went to World Cup games & other test games got my code ok, just buggered it up buying Wembley ticket, so unable to buy Everton ticket so hope to get another code tomorrow.

this is a glitch in the system. If you want to use a code for more than one venue, put the tickets from all venues in the basket first and then pay; otherwise, after one venue paid, you're locked out.
That's what i was trying to do but site sent me all the way to payment & wouldn't let me go back through to main menu.

Got my ticket for Wembley but couldn't get it to take me to the Everton site so lost the code tried to get back into site wouldn't let me.
