Cheers Lee, keep us informed as to whether they are open til 7pm, when you get an answer.

Better than everyone ringing and clogging the telephone lines up further...Cheers...

The lady on the phone was very helpful, Donna I think her name was. She kept trying to transfer me through, and also checked about the closing time and she did say that it definately was 7pm.

Someone said on your forum that the ticket office expect it to be sold out by midday tomorrow was that a joke?

As far as i can see the Stobart Stadium holds 13,500, I imagine that the RFL are holding back 2,500 until demand outstrips the supply.
5,500 tickets for each club is enough to cover the amount of regular match attendees, by this i mean Season Tickets holders and those who pay on the door every week.
Not every Season ticket holder will attend the Semi-Final, let's say we have 6,000 Season Tickets i can bet 2,500 of those wont show up maybe due to holidays, financial climate etc etc plus people don't go to away games full stop unless it's a final (i know plenty) so the other 2,000 tickets will cover those people who pay on the door.

The game may not be a sell out but it could get close but at least the people who deserve tickets have got them, the only negative point to playing at Widnes is that people can't sit together due to it being reserved and due to the Warrington club new ticket scheme people cant take friends who also have auntie's and uncle's who don't know the shape of the ball. I have no problem in borrowing out season tickets if there not being used but why should these people who probably haven't been to a game this year have a god given right to get a ticket.

If we were to go to Huddersfield i believe more people would fall by the wayside because of the further travel distance, petrol cost etc etc plus the stadium would look half empty on television.

Wigan have been allocated 6500 tickets, also the stand behind the sticks (west) is bigger than the east stand.

Is the East stand the last one to be built?

Just got back from the shop and if it's possible to do so ring the shop and reserve your ticket. The club are selling the tickets from top to bottom so the longer you leave it the worst seat/view you will be given.

Just rang the reserve line and got right through. Helpful bloke took my details, I paid over the phone and can collect them tonight nay bother.

I think Mr Youane hit the nail on the head in his earlier post where he said a few people are having the mentality that it's going to sell out and want to secure a ticket asap, which is causing congestion in the club shop and on the phone lines.
