RFL might have to release more blocks at the top of the North Stand if they haven't already been sold, looks like it's heading for a sell out or near as dammit

Looks like we've sold out the club's allocation - a few moaning there's no availability but surely right that ST holders get the priority they didn't have last year and great that there's so much demand. I still think it will be easy enough for everyone who wants to go to get in the stadium but some probably won't want to sit in the very highest seats.

Our tickets went on general sale at midday and beforehand there looked to be plenty left but looking at the ticket map now on the Wigan site, it looks to just be the odd single. The HKR tickets have flown out as well and they're opening more blocks on the RFL site on a regular basis (up in the Gods), so it's looking well on course to be a massive crowd. Outside of the stuff on the field, it's been so pleasing to see great crowds at every single play off game.

i think thats the gripe though, as it didnt look like the allocation was sold (didnt see myself), but then they've gone on general sale and only odds and sods available

if we have sold them all then fair play but i couldnt add a single ticket to my basket, every one generated an error (logged out and back in too ), so i went RFL and purchased mine with the pigeons

its strange as the playoff crowds have certainly bucked the trend of recent years, and i wouldnt say there is a particular reason why, as its not been promoted more than usual, but definitely good to see and what we should be aiming for each year now with sell outs each round

Maybe the increased crowds are a sign that the IMG partnership is paying off

Not sure if any blocks haven’t been put on sale yet (doubt it as it’s only cheap seats showing for sale) but there only seems a limited number of tickets left for sale, not many in the West and East with the bulk in the gods in the North Stand, could well be a sell out which is a boost after a run of pretty disappointing attendances (although I thought last year was good considering it involved Catalans)

Still a few thousand left to sell in Hull KR's allocation - that might prevent a sell out.

It mentioned on here it will be teh biggest crowd for at least 7 years so that means 64,000+ https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-leagu ... 69vxl7jd4o “It’s perfect timing for us to be able to confirm this extension as we look forward to another fantastic occasion at Old Trafford this weekend, with our biggest Grand Final crowd for at least seven years," said Rhodri Jones, managing director of Rugby League Commercial, the Rugby Football League's business arm.

I think a bit of circumstance has helped, with a major part in it being the fact the Yorkshire clubs aren't really bothering with plays offs anymore Leigh being away in two local games played it's part and HKR are selling pretty much every game out. The crowd at Warrington for the Saints game was probably the only slight downer but for whatever reason, Warrington fans haven't quite backed the side this year as you would expect, given how good they've been. The big surprise was probably the home supports of Salford and ourselves in the home games. We've pretty much been hardcore only for our home play offs in recent years but it was well above that on Saturday.
