Wigan and Hull KR are gearing up to face off in the Grand Final of the Super League, with a near sell-out crowd expected to fill Old Trafford this Saturday. Rugby League officials are optimistic about ticket sales, anticipating an attendance of over 65,000 fans, marking the largest turnout since 2017 when 72,827 spectators witnessed Leeds triumph over Castleford.
The event is on track to be a sell-out, with the famous stadium boasting a capacity of 69,000 following some reconfiguration for coaching and broadcast purposes. Hull KR, set to make their first-ever appearance in the Grand Final, quickly sold out their initial allocation of 10,000 tickets within a day after their thrilling 10-8 victory against Warrington at Craven Park.
Meanwhile, Wigan, aiming to secure a calendar quadruple after already claiming the Challenge Cup, League Leaders’ Shield, and World Club Challenge titles, secured their place in the final for the second consecutive year with a dominant 38-0 win over local rivals Leigh. The stage is set for an electrifying clash between these two formidable teams in what promises to be a historic and unforgettable Grand Final showdown.
