I am sick and tired of the misinformation being written on this thread.

I have just called ticketek and there are still category 5 seats available in pais in NW 3428, row 4. That is a corner location, 3rd tier, near the front.

Get real you bunch of miserable misinformers. This match is not yet sold out and may never be!

I will believe it when i hopefully see it with my own eyes on Saturday!

The Rugby League express had its full back page saying just corporate packages available so surely it must be? or very close?

If you don't believe me call: 0844 847 2013

You will probably be served by an idiot who asks which World Cup game you are interested in, and who also thinks that the game on Saturday is being held at Millenium Stadium (my experience). But once you straighten him out, he will search for the best possible seats. Only Category 5 is still available I was told.

If I had known that the ticket selller was such a complete imbecile --- even more stupid than was apparent -- selling expensive seats at bargain prices, I would have grabbed as many as possible and resold what I didn't need for a small profit.

The faux French accent must have got him all confused.

they would have been pretty good seats. "Third tier" in that stand is actually really the 2nd tier, only the North Stand has 3 proper tiers.

Will be interesting to see how many they sell at St James park and elland road at them prices. Absolutely scandalous.

Final prices START at £150. No children tickets.

I'm sure the final will sell out, even at those prices. However, my mates and I were chatting at the weekend about the relative profile of RL compared to other sports. I would much rather prefer being a 2nd tier sport and have the accessibility to the players and access to tickets at sensible prices, rather than the alternative of having to pay £100+ to watch a single game of rugby.

You can't blame the RFU for putting the prices at the levels they are at, but it will completely price out a huge majority of the population from seeing a game (unless they put some deals on closer to the time for the games that are not selling out).

I managed to persuade a few non-rugby fans to go to some RL games, at Rochdale, Saints and Wembley, tickets cost them about £20. I can safely say that they wont be bothering to go to any of the RU games at those prices.
