Guys, here is the response i got from St Helens re the Warrington game. Looks like i will need final numbers by this arvo our time.
Hi,
*
Hope you are well.
*
Sorry for the delay in responding – I’ve been trying to sort this one out for you.
*
This Friday the tickets will be online and you should be able to select your seats.
*
In the North Stand you will be able to actually select and pay for 20 seats online and group them together.
*
The East Stand is the unreserved stand – you could do the same there, but you would have to get to the game early to make sure you could get all together.
*
Hope this is ok.
*
If you have a problem, call our ticket office on 01744 751 419.

Hi there.
Myself, and quite a few of my friends are fortunate enough to be travelling across to the UK in late February from Australia to watch our beloved St George Illawarra Dragons play against Wigan in the World Club Challenge. For us, it will be a short trip of approximately 1 week. During this time we are hoping to make the most of it by experiencing many of the great sports England has on offer. I am very honoured to see here on your forum the great support shown by our Northern Hemisphere red vee cousins and the efforts people are taking to come along and lend their support to our cause as we endeavour to bring the World Club Championship title back down under.
During our brief visit, we were hoping to attend an English Super League match. And conveniently enough, St Helens will be playing against Warrington at Widnes on the Friday evening, Feb 25th. I am led to believe that this match has a potential to be a sell out and tickets will sell fast.* I am unsure as to whether all tickets are also based on reserved seating rather then a free for all in the general admin sections. For all of us, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to attend a match of this capacity. I am humbly asking, if there is in any way, and if it is convenient for you to do so or point me in the right direction, an opportunity for us to make some sort of arrangement for a reserved group booking so that we can not only be certain of securing tickets to the match, but most importantly, be seated all together? We are not after premium seating. We are happy to sit anywhere in the ground with a preference to be amongst where all the banner waving and singing core group of fans might be.
*We would love to reciprocate the support shown by your legion of fans by attending this match. It will be our first ever experience of a live game of Rugby League in the UK and we hope to take away many great memories. How good would it look with our red vee jerseys sitting alongside yours supporting one common cause, getting behind the mighty brand, the Saints!
We are able to put the money down for the tickets at the appropriate time once anything possibly has been agreed to. At this stage I have about 20 of us ready to come along with the possibility of more. But of course, these will be finalised pending your decision as to whether you and your club are able to assist me in this matter.
I thank you kindly for your time in reading my email and giving it consideration. If this query is not in your jurisdiction so to speak, would you mind ever so kindly, forwarding it to the relevant parties who might be able to take it on board?
*Have yourself a great day, and I look forward to hearing back from you soon.
*
UP THE SAINTS!
