An update on ticket sales ahead of the Challenge Cup Final.
No way it’s getting anywhere near that but I truly hope I’m wrong.
It's cost of living driving people away what else could it be, but 8k for a final is piss poor. I know it's tradition to play at W but the distance is just way to far these days. And also the fans who turn up to W should have some sort of incentive to get half price tickets for the Ashes at Wembley. That would give the Ashes a massive boost.
The challenge cup final, Wembley and London just doesn’t have the same pull or appeal to northern based fans these days unfortunately.
What? There’s only been two cc finals at Wembley in 80 years (non covid) under 60k! Why on earth would you play it in a 60k capacity stadium?
Well duh. Maybe coz it will look full? Instead of empty seat everywhere. And better atmosphere??
so you want to lock people out, potentially up to 15k-20k, so the stadium can look full? Glad you're not running the RFL!
So you rather have 35k empty seats? Instead of 60k sold out stadium? Where's the logic in that?
The last challenge cup final to get 80k was you know when.
I’d rather we didn’t shut out potentially 15-20k fans. If that means some years where it’s 65k and there’s empty seats so be it.
2015 &16. Last year 65k.

If I was a betting man I'd rather have a sold out 60k stadium than 35k empty seats. It will look better on TV and most probably attract new fans to the game. Imagine people watching the cup final for the first time and seeing red seat everywhere it doesn't look good for our sport. I see why the sport is going backwards in England prob coz the RFL has your type of mentality
2015 was 80k with your mob and Leeds while 2016 was 76k involving hull fc who along with kr always take a great following to Wembley and wire.
Maybe just bump the price up by a couple of quid to match potential sales of 63k-65k At Wembley.If I was a betting man I'd rather have a sold out 60k stadium than 35k empty seats.
