Padge Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Tickets have arrived. Paid for club Wembley, been shunted down to lower tier, no mention of adjustment of payments. Not impressed.

I've heard nothing yet so emailed them first thing this morning and got a reply saying the role out would continue today and if I hadn't heard anything by the middle of next week to get in touch. If I'm chasing the the middle of next week, when I travel on Thursday, I'll be seriously unimpressed, I'll be even more unimpressed if we get treated the same way as you have been 100% League 0% Union Just because I don't know doesn't mean I don't understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris22 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I purchased Club Wembley tickets shortly after tickets went on general sale, so there were some available up to that point. Very poor that they were on sale for at least 1 week to new purchasers when existing ticketholders are being shunted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby Chopra Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Got an email from RFL this morning saying less than 5,000 tickets left, so over 40,000 sold at those prices, which revenue wise probably is pretty close to what they got in recent years. I know this year's pricing is a shock to the system, but this outcome really does give the RFL a chance to draw a line in the sand and credibly commit to early bird discounts and full price for late buyers. I hope they stick with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on Club Wembley roll over from last year. Tickets not arrived yet. I'll be complaining as well if its the same as you, Lower tier worst option for my group. Did lower tier the first couple of years in new Wembley and then went to front couple of rows of the upper tier which was much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying I love high prices, I just want them to behave like any other sporting body. There's still plenty of opportunity to offer massive discounts at the start of the season, and I'm sure we can come up with a way to reward the finalists' season ticket holders without compromising the rest of the sales. But last minute discounts have just got to end. This will help, if they take the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they stick with it. I'm not sure that's the right conclusion. Firstly, other than the Wire v Cats game the early bird scheme works exactly as you described. Secondly, The numbers suggest that they have managed to sell 23k across the four finalists with a week to go, with 15 to 20% of those tickets not yet sold. Hopefully they will sell, and covid is clearly a factor, but its probably fair to call those sales slow rather than good. And finally, the lower and middle tiers standard pricing starts at £50 anyway, so we generally sell more than this at those prices as it is.

I've been to a handful of finals in the last decade and have always paid full price. We have always just used the early bird scheme as you describe, and the Catalans final used a completely different model (panic and get whatever we can and whoever we can in the ground!).

Hela Wigmen Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 There’s normally an early bird sale the Monday after the final for a limited time, I’m not sure if that’s open to everyone or just those that attended Saturday’s final, as my group normally attend regardless of who is in the final so get this email every year. There’s very rarely discounts at the last minute, it was purely for the Catalans v Wire final mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
