Cup Final Ticket Info, anyone?

[Leeds Wire]

We can only assume that the vast majority of the stadium is sold out, as the situation regarding seat availability has stayed the same for several days now.

If it has nearly sold out that's brilliant.

I made the point earlier in the thread about the EFL playoff tickets beibg online only. I think we try and be too helpful tbh, once we get to 2 weeks before, I think we need to allocate seats for people and crack on. All online, forget queuing and buying tickets at turnstiles, it's 2024. 

We've gone down a rabbit hole imo.

Love your work on this forum Dave but you've lost me there pal. (What's EFL?)

It's possibly my adrenaline watching this match to be honest.

Football league mate. Playoff finals all just done online, none of this queueing lark. 

This forum is helping my nerves mate

I bought tickets for block 123 back in October , there was quite a few random blocks on general sale in the lower bowl, Ive checked a few times over the last few months to see how sales were going and it looked really good,  so once what was left in these blocks went on sale to Wigan and Warrington fans it wouldn’t take long to sell these blocks out . Looking at your link There is a lot more blocks in the upper bowl available than what there was a couple of days ago.

Any chance of a bit of investigative journalism League Express?

It would be good for someone to ask the questions altho you can imagine the RFL will give some non descript answer full of cliches and sound bites.

I understand fans bought tickets months ago - It's great that you did, but it doesn't change a thing on this thread that the RFL appears to have made a mess of cup final ticket sales.

I've logged in again tonight and there's only vertigo seats available.

I'd love to be proved wrong and they'e sold out.

Last years final got a lot of great publicity nationally, maybe we are getting back on track to 70000 gates or above at some point

Exactly this 

Would love them to be jam packed sold in lower tiers but we all know the tv coverage will show a very different picture to what we saw Wembley look like today in the lower tier

[Odsal Outlaw]

Club Wembley and lower tier now available

[Trinity1873]

10% of the crowd will be Wakefield Trinity fans, i'm sure i read somewhere we've sold 7,000 tickets for our first visit to Wembley since 1979.

This game will likely have 20-30k empty seats, everyone who wants one will get one. Get them all on sale.

Just trying to book some tickets ...

Want £50 ones near centr me ISH but definitely more towards East ( I dislike Wigan more than I dislike Wire) 

They were there this morning now gone.....the ones that were open this morning were half unsold....

Why can't they just put them all up for sale

Nothing on first or 2nd tier at Wire end on RFL. Wire site onky really selling upper tier cheap seats now. 

It really will be a joke if Club Wembley ain't full.

But even if it was full (which would be great) why wouldn’t they have opened 2-3 more top tier sections

Yeah....was now worried the lower west ones would go so we have now booked in the Wigan Corner 

Where are Wakey/Sheffield based?

I think Wakey are sharing the Wire end. Sheffield having the other end is probably why there are empty blocks. 

[Anita Bath]

Wouldnt it be nice to have the RFL announce the plan they have used for selling tickets/ releasing sections…make it all transparent FFS.

yep, me and my lad will have to make a run for it between matches (may try and just cut across the pitch) as dont want to be stuck with the Wakey fans for the 1895!!

This will explain the lower turnout from Sheffield as we've been relatively regularly in comparison

With the EFL, a lot of that is down to necessity these days. 

Certainly at Leeds, your eligibility to even join the queue to get a ticket was based on strict loyalty status and purchase history criteria. The idea that Maureen behind the counter could verify that 38,000 people had attended at least nine games and that none of those games were from tickets bought from the fan exchange just isn't happening.

Seats in all tiers now available

Maureen doesn’t deserve a job.

[Cumbrian Fanatic]

Anyone received their tickets yet? I've received the extra print at home one I ordered a few weeks ago but not the physical tickets from my main order. Getting a bit close to the day for comfort 

[Josef K]

Whenever i have got tickets for wembley i always make sure i am not in the “Baked Alive By The Sun Section”. Some of the people i have been with love it, shirt off basking in the sun wanting to look like a wrinkled leather jacket, but for me it is a nightmare being frazzled. 
I am not going but i am looking forward to watching it, it should be a cracker.

I think my point is more that people are used to buying tickets for events online. It's odd that in 2024 you queue and get tickets through a turnstyle for these events in RL. 

We're all used to buying for the theatre, gigs, comedy shows etc. Online.
