| Quote ="knockersbumpMKII"Last time I was behind the posts was in 1980, I've been to Wembley/other CC finals around 20 times (I've only missed a couple at the new Wembley seeing as it's just down the road), I generally pick tier 3 tickets because although you can see everything even better nearer the halfway line you're still not close to a try line. We've done the lower section of the upper tier around the 20m for the most part, these are tier 3 tickets IIRC, last year we decided to sit closer to the FC end and in the lower tier, full price tickets were a steal IMHO.
Sure people can pick and choose depending on their budget but moaning like you're doing saying tickets are expensive is off the mark and simply wrong, it really doesn't have any merit.
These are one-off events at the biggest stadia for the biggest event in the calendar (the GF can suck one)
Next you'll be saying it costs £60 for kids to go to the hoe-downs/band at your local club all year and then compare that to going to take them to an Ariane Grande concert and complaining it's £xx.
keep on devaluing the game and the results are catastrophic which was evidenced not only by huddersfield giving away their season tickets but also by the RFL with respect to the Stobart debacle. Then the lead sponsorship had a value of absolutely bugger all and no-one wanted to pay up.
Even FC have had similar, giving away 2 tickets for £5 for the first home game, on the back of the wembley win this was a mistake by AP, fans would have come anyway to the first home game of the season as reigning CC holders and a fantastic season bar the last few games. It's had very little impact on attendances but what it does do is make the casual supporter think do you know what, i'm not paying full price, I'm going to wait for a discount, and sure enough a discount is given and we are back to undervaluing the sport and is why we'll always be small potatoes and blue-chip sponsors aren't interested.'"
Completely agree.
What's that saying?
"Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing."
Wembley wouldn't sell out if you have it away for free most likely. The reason rugby league grounds aren't full has nothing to do with price and everything to do with value. If you keep making the price lower, you aren't making people value it any differently so overall you just get less money.
The game needs more money and me exposure and you won't get that by giving things away.

| We're in the North Stand upper tier block 552 right on the halfway line in almost identical seats to last year which was a fantastic view. Last year they were £50, this year they're £30.
I'm not quite sure which seats have gone up in price or are considered too expensive by people moaning on here but, at £20 cheaper this year, I'm obviously delighted with ours.

| The RFL are now only selling tickets for one block in the Hull 'end'.
Not sure if they've released any in the upper tier in the South Stand?

None at all yet - they appear to be opening up sections one by one and filling them up that way.
Wigan's end doesn't appear to be selling very fast, it's hardly changed for a week now.

If there is only top tier, they are pretty much the same price £30. Hull end will look chocker on Telly, Wigans will look like they haven't bothered - a bit like Donny last year!

Yes, mine arrived this morning. If any over 65's are looking for a ticket I have a spare one which I'm letting go for £10. PM me if you're interested.

| Just a quick heads up to those staying at Watford (or planning to get the train from there). The first part of the normally quick journey is now by bus and not by train, so allow an extra 40 minutes for this.

I disagree. The best campaign I have seen recently in sport is women's AFL (Aussie Rules). In the first year of the competition they made all games free entry and gave the tv rights away for free. Attendances will hit 50k in the second season. It's remarkable
Also, when you talk about value, people are only mentioning the game and not the game day experience, I'm not referring to pre match entertainment but the concept of a nice beer and meal in sport is alien. A local brewery and a couple of decent food vendors would work wonders.

| There's been very little mentioned on the Wigan board about Wembley. Was almost thinking they hadn't realised they'd got to the Final!?! Don't know how many they are taking?
Anyway, they are now releasing the 'Wigan Song' from 30 years ago for Charity and trying to get it in to the Top 40 with 8,000 downloads. Didn't know they had another song other than 'Wigan, Wigan, Wigan'? However, good if they shift a few to raise some money for good causes.

yes it appears to be the journey by rail from watford junction that is affected. the other option i have used before and will be using again is to park and get the tube from rickmansworth - easy access from the m25 assuming the motorway is free from hold ups

I was thinking the same and had a quick look at tickets left for sale and we have nearly sold out of the west side of the stadium, when I look only 1 block left at Fc for sale and 1 block on the RL website. On the other side you can still take your pick on the RL website loads of blocks left with tickets in.

We went last year and it was really good, weather needs to me good as the best bit is the beer garden, never ate there and not sure what the food is like, but great for drinks and was an excellent atmosphere, busy last year, but had loads of outdoor bars so easy to get served.
Weather permitting I'll be going again this year.

Bear in mind its less than 10 mins from the stadium and will get rammed, so if your after a sit down meal you either need to get there very early or be prepared for a long wait.
For drinks and a general meet up place, its great.
