A whopping 25,000 tickets have already been claimed\u2014the highest number ever recorded at this stage in the event&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">This impressive turnout seems to justify the decision to keep Magic in the calendar despite some clubs&#8217; opposition, and to move it to the Hill Dickinson Stadium following the successful second Ashes Test between England and Australia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">As <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hulldailymail.co.uk\/all-about\/christmas\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" rel=\"follow nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\">Christmas<\/a> approaches, Super League has unveiled the top five out of the 14 Super League clubs leading the ticket sales: unsurprisingly, the Robins are sitting pretty at the top.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Their fans have been showing up in large numbers for both home and away matches since their emergence as a major player in Super League. This trend looks set to continue when Super League takes over Liverpool next year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">They will go head-to-head with <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hulldailymail.co.uk\/all-about\/hull-kr\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"\" rel=\"follow nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\">Hull KR<\/a> in a much-anticipated derby, and both clubs currently rank within the top five in terms of ticket sales, with Rovers in first place and FC in fourth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Snapping at their heels in second place are Matt Peet&#8217;s Wigan Warriors \u2013 with their opponents at Magic, St Helens, in third place. This is perhaps not surprising given the town&#8217;s close proximity to next year&#8217;s Magic venue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">And who&#8217;s rounding off the top five in ticket sales?<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">That would be Leigh Leopards, a team that&#8217;s recently seen a notable surge in their fan base. Adrian Lam&#8217;s squad are gearing up for a clash with Warrington Wolves at the event, and it seems they&#8217;ll be backed by a substantial crowd in Liverpool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hull KR lead the Magic Weekend 2026 ticket sales ahead of Wigan Warriors as over 25,000 pre-sale tickets&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":318242,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[20372,5903,20370,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-318241","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-hull-kr","9":"tag-rugby","10":"tag-rugby-league","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=318241"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318241\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/318242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=318241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=318241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=318241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
