Why no Semi-final ticket thread? : Sat Jun 06, 2009 11:15 am  

Are we complacent with this being our ninth successive semi?
Strange that no one has commented on the massive queues for tickets at Knowsley Road this week. Not even a mention on the club site over sales to date.
Contrast this to the near hysteria on the Wolfs board. A 35 page thread whinging about the venue not being big enough and piccies on the club site showing huge queues waiting for tickets, only for the club to announce that after three days fo sales only 2000 of there allocation has been taken. Shameful!

Anyroad, I've got mine fo the South stand.

I've bought mine, too. Going with one other person.

Why do we need to panic though? I very much doubt there is going to be any problem getting tickets so perhaps thats why people are just plodding on getting them without a fuss.

4 of us going, will probably nip in for tickets next week but not worried they will sell out

I think its more to do with the time between the last round and the semi's, 8 weeks is strange, why not move the last round back a bit (i imagine it's for the international)

I can't see Hudds overwhelming the ticket office somehow! I'm still surprised we are at the HJ. I would have thought Leigh was more the size given Hudds away support. (HJ does hold more than Leigh, doesn't it?)

I imagine it's for the BBC. I think they are the ones dictating terms, aren't they?

it does, i think HJ is 13000, Leigh is about 11000?

I went for our tickets on Thursday. The reason why we are not having loads of threads and banter about it at the moment is because only platinumn members can get tickets until the 12 June. After that I think we will hear more. There is no need to panic there will be plenty of tickets around.

We got ours today, nearly all of the seated tickets are gone, some singles apart from right in the corner. We got standing tickets, better atmosphere etc etc.

Season ticket holders only until 12 June with no phone orders. Members are getting no special dispensation so far as I can see.
