Chronicler of Chiswick Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Goaded by the comments last year of a certain moderator, I sent for my ticket for this year as soon as the special offers appeared which arrived yesterday and is now sitting behind the clock on the living room mantlepiece alongside my rail ticket. I'm now sweating on Network Rail engineering works between Wolverhampton and Smethick not screwing up my connection at Birmingham on the way back. All being well I'll be at my first CF since 1992 and if I don't enjoy myself, IT'S YOUR FAULT, DRAKE!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somerset Casual Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Our little trio of Somerset casuals are eagerly awaiting this one. Tickets ordered months ago - we never mind who is the final - because we love a trip to Wembley. Bring it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellsy4HullFC Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 A nightmare final for a Hull fan. Is there a way both teams can lose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevereed100 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 you could pray for a draw and a replay at Elland Road. However does it go to Golden Point? Alternatively be a bigger man (than I) and take the lesser of two evils Rovers to win. That way we might put less value on our victory in 1980 and I for one will be magnaminous and hold back on a chorus of Old Faithful......perhaps. Just try and enjoy David and Goliath, we might not be able to repeat Wigan,Catalans and Warrington but we are in it to win it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Decimus Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 The days of selling it out are largely gone sadly. It would take a real rivalry like a Saints Wigan and even that I'm not sure. Cas are a well supported side and were in a derby with Leeds but it nowhere near sold out. Hull KR will probably mean Leeds take a few less than last year I reckon.

M j M Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Save for whatever is left at Headingley (around 1,000 tickets of the allocation), the Leeds end is essentially sold out now according to the RFL ticket website. A decent turn out given I can't imagine many neutrals would choose that end over the other and certainly better than the last three finals Leeds have been in when our end had large areas of empty seats.

delboy Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 i predict now it will be the first sell out i years Agreed. HKR and Leeds will attract a bumper crowd (and I hope loads make a weekend of it and make the Skolars Friday Night Lights on the night before....cracking beer festival). As for England v Kiwis. I suspect we will get well over 50k for that..... Thank You for Listening Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun mc Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Today all of the lower tier was sold out on the RFL website The upper tier block we are in is also sold out as are a few others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSaint Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I'd imagine the 70k includes the Club Wembley area otherwise it would mean there are only 5-6k seats left. Slightly sceptical that all those areas are sold out as the RFL have done this in the past with plenty of spaces on the day. That said, I really hope it is as increasing the attendance on Cup Final day is essential. Sadly can't make it this season but hope everyone else can get there as it is an awesome day!

Scubby Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Good news that more tickets seem to have been sold than last year. Remember, at this point last year we hadn't even had the semi-finals - appalling scheduling - and I think this hit the crowd by 5-10k. Two weeks is just not long enough. With a four week lead-in you have a greater chance of those undecideds from participating teams getting in the mood and buying a ticket nearer the time.
