Over 79,000 tickets sold fro Saturday so far apparently, should be a good day!

Re: 79k : Wed Aug 26, 2015 9:11 am  

I suspect that includes the red seats which will be empty

Re: 79k : Wed Aug 26, 2015 9:19 am  

90000 empty seats then!

But hasn't that been the case since the match went back to Wembley w/r/t attendance reporting?

Looks like it could be the biggest attendance since 2010...

Baring in mind the fact that 95% of the seats in Wembley are red, I'm assuming you mean the club wembley seats in the middle tier. This is just the nature of the club wembley that people buy year or even 10 year passes to seats in this section and many use them for corporate dos for England games/cup finals. Because of that not many turn up for the CC Final because they're not bothered about RL. The 79k will include this number because the seats have been sold and therefore cannot be resold, whether or not anyone turns up to sit in them is beyond the RFL or whoever runs Wembley's control.

They will still not equal the massive crowd that went to see Catalans play in 2007.

And the award for fastest attempt to put a negative spin on good news goes to...

As was said those seats will have been included every year, and are out of the hands of anyone at RFL to sell, so looking forward to the game!

Out of interest, how many seats are there in the club Wembley section?

You reckon? 84200 to beat. 3 days to go. Don't think I'd bet my house on it not being beaten.
