Do you? If you do then please share them.
It was opened as recently as January of this year so I really cant see how it is that big a deal and I am sure that if we could sell it out then another 8,000 paying fans would easily cover that and more. It is quite simple though if, for whatever reason, then we cannot open the top tier and in effect only have a 32,000 seater stadium then the final should be played elsewhere from now on. England are on a roll and there is a real buzz around the national team that I havent seen for along time, not to have the opportunity to exploit that would be criminal.

Drove past it on the 621 last week and the East Stand is still shrouded in construction covers which I presume is related to this redevelopment:

Would have thought it should be completed by now given they were talking about it in March. It appears Caddick is doing the work so I'm sure it wouldn't be over-running and is of the highest quality

| If they are doing the top tier up theres nothing we can do about it. elland road is the only ground available really. man city have said they dont want any other sports on the ground and i dont reckon man utd would let rugby play on their ground in mid november.
maybe everton would have been an option as theyre skint. nowhere else big ebnough

I just hope he's over-charging them for it!
I didn't even realise it was being re-developed, I just thought they were leaving it closed as they have done for most of the last few seasons.

| Hillsborough capacity is just shy of 40k (slightly bigger than elland road), I bet Milan Mandaric wouldn't say no to extra cash.

to be fair to the RFL, they always have to consider the prospect of a Aus-NZ final, which even Elland Road's reduced 32K capacity woulden't have been needed for.
yes I'd like to see England-Aus be able to have the biggest capacity possible, but don't forget this ground was booked months ago.

Which makes you ask the question why have we taken the game there in the first place!
A sh*tehole we cant even use all of! I hope us using the city of Manchester stadium for Magic is a sign of things to come.

It was open and currently there is about 100 season ticket holders up there, looks daft on a match day though.

| I hope they open the top tier otherwise we have undersold ourselves. Tried looking at tickets lats night but couldn't get on the website due to high demand.
I really wuld try and get Manchester City's ground in the future. Hull's pitch was in great nick last night, so if a Cahmpionship club can cope with an RL match in it, surely a club with a billionaire owner, where the average player eanrs 200k a week, can afford to have one RL match in November.
But i really hope we get the top tier open.

| So, has no one else notice this happen with the Grand Final then; the top tier being closed for sale until the week before the match?
Instead of getting all vitriolic, why don't we wait and see what happens?

| According to the Leeds Utd site there are only eight blocks in the stadium with 'limited' availability, the rest has sold out.

| Makes a nice change to be worrying/moaning about there not being enough tickets left for a rugby league event. You could argue the RFL have undersold themselves and could of gone to a bigger ground, but I still think Elland road is about the right size. and had it not been England in the final, it would have been a poor attendance which has to be taken into account.

Is the whole capacity of the stadium open now then? Would be fantastic to have 38k on!
I agree with what other people have said about Eastlands, the final should be held there, we could sell well over 40k for England getting in a final. The atmosphere should be great.
Lets hope the team puts in a great performance unlike 2004.

Not sure, I went to the ticketing site and click on a couple of the upper tier blcoks, you could buy a ticket for £25 so must be open. The 'map' image is down at the moment (for me anyway) so could be updating the rest of it.

| Just ordered a family ticket plus 1 more child for £49.50. Bargain! The bloke on the phone said they are opening the top tier but not fully due to maintenance work. He said it looks like it should easily sell out though.

Down on mine too, but Leeds Utd site isn't selling any in upper tier yet.
Only about 300 seats left by the looks of it and most are £40 band!

Once again for the bloody thick...
Man City (and many other football clubs) say who does and doesn't play on the pitch, they don't want us there, we can't force them to host it. It is played at Elland Road because Leeds Utd don't have any say in it.

That's a superb offer.
By the way, people saying we should play at Eastlands, Man City said they won't have other sporting events there mid season.

In the specific case of Man City, the original planning stipulations limit how many non-football events they can hold in any year. If a pop promoter is prepared to pay more than the RFL, they really have no incentive to let us have the stadium.
