I don't think I've heard anything about this from the club. With the club playing away most Leeds fans won't have any other RL to watch locally but there's been nothing on email or social media about getting down to the stadium to attend. Seems a bit odd given the £££ they could make.
Would also have expected a SL club season holder special ticket offer too.

It's nothing to do with Leeds or Super League. The RFL have hired the ground from Leeds and are running it independently just as if it was at Blackpool therefore Leeds nor SL have the authority to sell tickets.

Come on, Leeds are an RFL member club and the hosts for the weekend. They absolutely have the ability to promote this event to their membership and sell tickets for it. The RFL certainly aren't stopping them, even if it's not via the regular home ticket sales website then on a similar basis to away games.
They put more effort into promoting the boxing that was on than they have into this. Hell I've had more emails from them about ***ing netball than this event.

They are not hosts for the weekend, Leeds Rhinos are nothing to do with Summer Bash, it is a rented stadium, simple.
Leeds promoted Josh Warrington as a Leeds lad and Vice President of the Leeds Rhinos Foundation, more than the actual boxing event and they never actually sold the tickets, just put a couple of articles out about how to buy them. Leeds Rhinos Netball are a part of the Leeds Rhinos entity therefore they are always going to promote them.
Summer Bash is nothing to do with Leeds Rhinos, and the staff frankly have enough to do.

The amount of time and effort the club put into winning this suggests the opposite.

So, apart from all the club's back-office and gameday staff working on the event and being there all weekend and the ticket office dealing with all the day-of-game and late-delivery ticketing it's nothing to do with them. Righty-oh!
What has changed since the Championship Grand Final the club hosted several years ago when they did promote to the fanbase?

You would have thought they would have thrown out a few social media posts advertising it, even if its simply to help fill the ground as good publicity for the stadium.

Pass Out System A pass out system will be in place at Gate C, to leave and re-enter you must receive a handstamp when leaving. Upon re-entry you must show both your exit handstamp and your ticket.
