They have been - Saturday.

Think the issue is that if they have sold 1500 tickets today, that's leaves about 6000 tickets available on Sat to 7/8k pass holders who can buy two each.

Full allocation should have gone to pass holders first with only one ticket per pass.

A lot of people, more on facebook rather than here, can type out War and Peace on why this is a farce but seemingly can't read the one article on Hull's website saying a significant number of tickets have been reserved for passholders, for Saturday. People planning to queue up at full time on Friday.

.... depends how many of the 1500 were already passholders, and how many non-passholders want tickets on Saturday. I can't see demand outweighing supply.

If the SMC had a system in place like Leeds, and allowed us access to it, there wouldn't have been any need to make Saturday a members only day.

leeds and wigan gave pass holders 3 days priority purchase, salford 2, why we couldnt have done the same is a mystery

it worked ok last season, why not again?

The majority of our allocation for the West Stand has yet to be released for sale by the RFL and the club will also be retaining these remaining seats exclusively for members.

I'd have thought Saturday would be the least inconvenient day to choose for most people.

It's understandable that people get anxious about sorting tickets but I'm pretty sure everyone who wants one will get one.

Why should the SMC have a system in place to sell tickets for another stadium? The club should have their own online ticketing system as I'm sure leeds, wigan and salford have

I don't think there has been any cup game in the last 20 years or so that everyone who wants tickets didn't get one, including Donny twice, so you are probably right. It just seems a strange way to do it, all the other teams are selling to only members first and that's what we have done in the past. No problem with the RFL helping us, but go that on Saturday after giving members a couple of days to get there tickets first, we should be the priority.

We have less tickets available than we took to last years semi although I'd guess not everyone who went last time will want to go this time. I even know people who won't bother with wembley if we get there after we've now won there
