Does this mean ticket sales aren't going well at Saints, that we have had to be given a further supply of them?

Some Saints fans think that travelling to Widnes to support their team is the equivalent of travelling to the moon and so will choose the pub instead. Not that some Saints fans need an excuse to choose watching the game in a pub over actually watching a game!

Warrington also given some tickets for the South Stand. I am suprised that Saints are struggling to sell out for a game like this. It doesn't auger well for attendances for games against teh likes of Harlequins, Huddersfield, etc

Warrington don't sell out many of their home games at their actual home, so it's hardly a surprise that we can't sell out at someone elses.

Im very puzzled as we have been told we have sold more season tickets this compared to last year at KR.

That means that either our regular and occasional non-season ticket fans don't fancy it or there are not as many dire fans either because we haven't given them enough tickets or they don't fancy it which would be odd.

Any know how many tickets we gave them and they sold for the SL match at KR last year?

You can pick your seat for games this year (except for those taken by season ticket holders obviously). The North, East and Away end are practically sold out, but there are alot of seats available for the South Stand (corporate stand in the new stadium).

Have we? I remember Saints posting that at one point sales of season tickets were up on last year but is that the same as saying we have sold more than last year? I asked at the club shop and was told that we sold over 5000 season tickets this year. That sounds low but I have no idea how many have been sold previously.

6,800 last year. For Friday, our allocation is just shy of 3,000.

Very true. Maybe 2/3 times a year tops.

As for Friday, I would expect 10-11k.

Just logged on to the ticketing allocations, still around 2000 seats left in the South Stand, West and East Stands almost full, North Stand 80 seats left. As already mentioned looking like 10 11 k.
