No i haven't not been able to get a ticket. But for the three Wembley finals, I have never been able to get behind the sticks where i have wanted to, all 3 times i have been up in the gods. Having some sort of priority to be able to choose what tickets you want as reward for your loyalty in my eyes is a good thing.

I got lower tier behind the sticks in the Warrington end for the 2010 final on the RFL website a couple of hours after the semi. In 2012 I wanted to be in the upper but at the front rather than high up (as i was in 2009, but it was my choice as I just bought cheap tickets). Again, I got them no problem from the RFL website on the bus home from the semi.

It really isn't hard. Yes I was only buying a couple of tickets and it might be harder if you want a big group together, but you're always going to be more limited in availability in that scenario anyway.

Have you ever wanted a ticket for any Wires game ever - home, away, semi, final, Magic, whatever, anywhere at all - and not been able to get one?

I haven't and I doubt anyone else on here has. It's not difficult. Yes we have casual fans who go when they can be bothered. In a few thousand cases this means Wembley or Old Trafford only. So what? The tickets are available so no one is taking them away from anyone more deserving are they? Just go and enjoy yourself on Saturday (if you're going) and don't concern yourself with who else is or isn't there. That's what I'll be doing.

Semi final 2009,

had to sit with the wigan fans

Dropkick Murphy that may be your experience, but that isnt my experience. I also booked direct from the RFL in 2010 and 2012 and didnt get where i would have liked. 2009 i queued for tickets and will not do that again......

I live in London and won't be going to the semi. I am going to Wembley though, whether we get there or not.

So you did get a ticket then.

Just for the record. Does anyone know the last time we won a Challenge cup semi final at Headingley. The last time we played there was March 25th 2000, when we lost against Bradford 44-20

From experience stand allocation is sorted already and if you were wanting to gamble on Wire making the final, I think you can buy a ticket behind the sticks now from the rfl. Wire always ask for the same side.

I've never been sat in the gods for a Wire game and I've never had a season ticket for a decade. I always call the rfl ticket direct. Always been lower tier one behind the stick and then alternate corner flags.

It does say on the Rovers website that tickets are available on the day from Headingley Stadium

That would make sense and could attract more neutral fans.
