York City Knights Wembley tickets on hold
The Rugby Football League is waiting for more clarity on the 4th stage of the lockdown roadmap.
Tickets to see York City Knights playing at Wembley next month will not go back on sale until more information is known about the stadium's capacity.
York will face Featherstone Rovers in the final of the 1895 Cup, after a 36-22 win over Swinton Lions yesterday (Sunday 6 June).
It's scheduled for 17th July, which is due to be in stage 4 of the Government's Roadmap out of lockdown.
However, with uncertainty surrounding whether that will go ahead on 21 June as planned, until an announcement next week (Monday 14 June), the Rugby Football League is delaying sales.
Mark Foster, the RFL’s Chief Commercial Officer, said: “We know there will be significant demand for Wembley tickets from each of the four clubs who won Semi Finals at the weekend, and that this delay will be frustrating.
“However as with other sports preparing to stage major events in the weeks following June 21, we have agreed with the clubs that it is more sensible to wait until we have more information about how many fans will be able to attend.
“We have some breathing space with six weeks until the Final, but we will continue working behind the scenes with Government and Wembley, as we have been doing for some time, to maximise our capacity on July 17 – and to put tickets back on sale as soon as possible.
“We have deliberately held back a good proportion of tickets even for a limited capacity to ensure that supporters of the four clubs involved will be able to attend.”
Kick off will be at midday on Saturday 17th July.
Tickets will be sold directly by the RFL, with priority for season ticket holders.
York City Knights will be providing travel-only tickets, alongside a local coach company.
