Bradford and Leigh are having a bit of a ticket wars on Twitter.

Less than 400 tickets remain in the South and West stands, whilst Leigh have tweeted they have less than 80 seats in the North stand.

Last year 8,650 attended the Summer Bash. I think we can safely say that figure is going to be surpassed this year.

So there are only 480 tickets left at all for the Saturday?

Or will that increase once other clubs return their unsold tickets?

Be great to see it completely sold out and packed to the rafters!

Remember the East Stand isn't open. So the capacity of Bloomfield Road on Saturday is 12,218 (reduced due to closure of East Stand).

Not forgetting that Keighley, York, Sheffield, London, Whitehaven and Workington supporters may not be in the ground at 7:00pm. So whilst a big crowd will be announced, they may not be that amount of people physically at the Bradford v Leigh game.

The Bradford/Fax game had a really good atmosphere last year. Leigh will have much more than Fax did. Think it will be a really good atmosphere.

Unlkely, to be honest mate.

Lots of folk at Magic / Bash only watch their own game [or maybe one other] and spend the balance of the day going round the other attractions available in town.

Yes mate.

The East stand and South East quadrant are closed. I believe the East stand is only open to members of the media as this is where the press facilities are situated.

Confirmed that via club and RFL Leigh are approaching 4000 sales

The 'official' attendance at this sort of event is meaningless

There'll probably be about 8,000 people in the ground when we kick off against Leigh, but when the earlier games are being played the ground will be almost empty. Yet the RFL will say how much of a success it was with a 'crowd' of 10K...

As for Sunday, I expect to see banks of empty seats. Seriously, will there be more than 2 or 3 thousand there on the Sunday?

Bulls had sold 1800/1900 6 days ago and had sold most at that point.(figures from RFL) If Leigh say they had sold 1799 6 days ago as an example I doubt they have sold 2201 since then.

Leigh have sold out the North Stand (2,500) and have now started taking the last few North West Stand (800) tickets.

Bradford have the South Stand (3,100) and West Stand (3,800).

The West Stand balcony holds (1100) and has limited availability.

It's all sounding very promising.
