Just bought my tickets from The Wakefield ground as its close to where I work, I asked how soon they are likely to sell out, she basically laughed at me and said there's no chance after yesterday's result, my advise would be to buy them from Wakefield once out allocation sells out. I double checked and you can stand anywhere. Wouldn't it be great if we can bring more fans than them to their own ground!

This is just another reason it should have been held at a neutral venue. A lot of people are going to miss out and that's money that's just been lost to the sport.

The figure of 2000 allocated tickets was doing the rounds in the queue when I just bought our 3 tickets. There is a fair queue but waiting time would be well under an hour. (20 minutes in my case). Seat tickets did not have an allocated block or seat number just an 8 digit code so I'm not sure all seats can/will be sold.

I think Bulls allocation of tickets will get sold today so the option of buying them from Wakefield is a good idea if phones at Odsal are busy.

I got there at around a quarter to nine and the queue was most of the way to the gate then. They seemed to be allowing any number of tickets [I heard a guy ask for 14, and he got them] though I don't know if they wanted to see a membership card for each ticket or not. The queue was longer when I left than when I arrived.

Not sure there would be as many calls for it to be at a neutral venue had it been at Odsal. It's a shame that out of all the teams realistically likely to be involved in this game, it's ended up at the stadium with the smallest capacity. But we had the chance to at least try and claim to have this staged at home and didn't take it so tough.

Yeah, agree amber. The rules were known at the start [and, for once, the RFL haven't changed horses midstream...] and we're at Wakey.

Bought 2 from Wakefeild no issues and was quick online, plus its an eticket so no issues with delivery.

Lets get as many Bulls as we can into the ground, if you might miss out buy from wakefeild, bulls miss out on a sale but thats our own fault for throwing games away, tough, would rather be there than not.

Looks like a fair old queue on twitter, gonna be a few disappointed

So what are we thinking in terms of squad, must be full strength

You would think so, the 9 missing from Sunday should be back.

Queuing for tickets at Odsal already. I'm off from them this afternoon but suddenly nervous about not getting a ticket.

I've seen 8k quoted as the capacity but also seen it been quoted as low as 6k! Bulls have 4k ST holders, but there are a lot who aren't ST holders that go to every virtually every home & away game. A lot of supporters who have followed the team throughout the the year may now miss out on tickets to the biggest game in our history.

Just incredibly frustrating that 7 years a go you had to have a stadium capacity of 10k. Now 7 years later it is deemed fine for 8k.

Blame Peter Box the WMBC chairman and Castleford shareholder for that, it probably won't make much difference but the girl in the shop said that the bulls had received 2400 tickets not 2000, so every little helps, got mine half an hour ago and the lass said the sales had been quite brisk, but she probably would not know who she was selling to so they could have been for either, I wouldn't panic just yet though.

Sold out of adult tickets before they've even gone on general sale, excellent response from the fans. Hope the Wakefield club are going to be organised for the big crowd that will be there. Decided against taking my little lad back to Belle Vue though after some of the issues last time we visited. Hearing conflicting info regarding whether it is to be segregated, which isn't a great start if fans aren't aware before arriving at the ground.
