4th Round of the Challenge Cup : Mon Mar 23, 2009 12:15 pm  

I have read somewhere that the 4th Round of the Challenge Cup is available to season ticket holders. This is certainly shown in some of the superleague web sites.

As we used our season tickets for the last round, anyone know if we can we use them for the Widnes game a week on Friday?

I believe it was the case if is your team's first home game in the competition you can use season tickets. We had our allocation against Loughborough. I think.....

Haighy is correct. You can use your adult and concession season tickets for free admission to your Club's first game i.e. for us it allowed admission to the Loughborough game in the 3rd round; for a Super League Club season ticket holder it allows them free entry to their 4th round game.

Junior season tickets, however, allow free entry to all your own Club's games up to and including the Quarter Finals.

will it be the usual entry fee for the Widnes game?

Thanks for that. I was only checking as this means I need to buy my seat when the tickets go on sale.

this was a good idea but has it back fired in a way for some clubs as they is quite a lot of all super league ties, St Helens - Leeds surely this would have been a big money spinner in the region of £100, 000but now all season tickets are valid there is not much money to be made unless the RFL are subsidising it?

It has back fired somewhat as look at the Barrow-Wigan game.. Technically with this rule Wigan season ticket holders should get in free, but Barrow only are allowing them 1000 tickets. Now whether Barrow are on a bit of a swindle or their ground is not big enough thats not for me but it seems unfair how some should get free tickets and others not.

not necessarily,over the past few years crowds for cup games have been considerably lower than SL games.

What about Catalans vs Bradford. The only way the Bradford season ticket holders can take advantage of the free entry for season ticket holders is to buy themselves a flight and probably a hotel, so it costs them more.

That is why I will be watching on the tv.

But will use my season ticket to watch Halifax v Widnes for free
