You don't say.

It's supposed to be one of biggest games in the sport. So the fact it hasn't even come close to selling out is a worry from the sports point of view.

From my own point of view it won't stop me myself from enjoying the day but if you think it's a point that should be brushed under the carpet I do worry.

It hasn't been close to selling out since the return to Wembley - yet the powers that be at the RFL do not appear to promote this show piece in an effective way.

Personally I'd like to see the Final venue change. Perhaps have it on a rotation (Wembley / Cardiff / Edinburgh / Old Trafford). Despite being geographically a challenge to get to, Cardiff was pretty much full for its hosting of the final.

Wembley as a venue is poor as its surroundings have little to offer for a large crowd

Me and my son are travelling from Rugby. Euston closed so having to go from Leanington Spa, change at High Wycombe and on to Wembley Central. Only 1 hr 20 mins, but would be surprised if we see another Rugby League fan before we hit Wembley.

I live close to Rugby and (along with my daughter and several family members from Hull) got the train to Euston last year. It was amazing to see several FC fans on the train, as we all converged on Wembley from different parts of the country.

This year we're driving down to Stanmore and getting the tube from there.

Got a spare ticket up for grabs. Block 238, Row 15, Seat 260.

Cost £55, hoping to recoup that if possible, or nearest offer

Re: All things Wembley : Thu Aug 17, 2017 7:35 pm  

Looking for a couple of extra tickets in our end for mates if anyone is looking to sell?
Only up in the heavens left available officially.

Re: All things Wembley : Thu Aug 17, 2017 7:52 pm  

They haven't coloured it on the map yet, but the extra block they put on sale the other day (537) has sold out and they have opened the block next to it. Brilliant sales, we are pretty much going to fill all 3 tiers behind the posts.

Same row as mine - just a few blocks down. Catch you on the concourse for a pre match slurp!

Is the Wembley Map Ticket Sales currently being updated?
I thought the grey sections were sold out?
I Just got 4 tickets in Block 126 for some Friends

How strange. You would assume that they are sold out because they're not coloured, but on the rfl Ticketmaster site you can still get tickets in block 126.

Re: All things Wembley : Fri Aug 18, 2017 3:50 pm  

Greyed out means not available (at the moment), not sold out.

I guess some ticket returns may be reselling in sold out blocks.

At least 25 blocks have yet to go on sale since the semi finals. (They may have been available before then.)
