Bought this afternoon 5x hospitality for OT next Saturday. £1300. Why just because I can and I want to support RL in this country. Whoever's in the final it will be money well spent. Plus I couldn't get 5 seats together anywhere else in the stadium so I thought sod it. This only happens on these shores once a decade.

Deep pockets, carefull they will be wanting proof

Good on you should be a great game who ever gets there.

Great courage of your conviction. I booked and paid for my IBIS hotel room in London back in May. Ballsed up and forgot to tell my wife, who is off to a works do on Saturday. Finally thought "F**K it, support my sport!" So off to London from Blackpool on my jack Jones on Friday. So if you see a sad Tw*t in the stadium not standing up for the anthem ( don't do royalty) please don't give me any abuse.

FFS....Saracens v Harlequins at Wembley is a regular season game.....I wonder if they'll get more than the 41,063 they got last season...or the 83,761 they got the year before?
83,761 for a regular season game....that's more than all 7 games at Magic has managed combined yet you want to hold it up as an example on "union" doing it too
London Broncos TOTAL home attendance for 2013 was 28,775......add Salford (TOTAL 41,314) to that and you still come up 13,000 short of the Saracens group on game in 2012-13....

I suspect there are good ways to use Groupon and there are bad ways...you've found a good way which has simply highlighted the bad ways in which they have been used by League....

well done

84k to 41k a season later, that's one pretty dramatic fall in attendance. I can think of a particular thread on these boards that would be going into meltdown if it was Rugby League

the booking system for the world cup seems to be going wrong again; won't load the pictures to show the blocks etc, fast tickets are the only part thats appearing. I've lost count of the number of times this has happened over the past few days.

Well stop messing around in the system and either book some tickets or log out of the system.....

Read tonight that St.Albans centurions club have sold 800 tickets for Wembley. I have also read people question why it is held in London ...

I believe they have and that is sensational.

How many have the London Broncos sold? Wigan? Wire? Leeds? Saints? Bradford? The answer....probably zero! And that needs to change. We call the NRL for not looking past their own nose when it comes to the international game but we probably shouldn't throw stones! Some of our clubs are shambolic.

Amazing effort from Gary, Tony, et al. Just read their website - estimated that 90% of tickets bought by people who've not been to a RL match before.

I just hope we can get over the c. 73,000 that Wembley attracted to the World Cup Final previously. That would be great.
