I went to the ground this morning at 9am. Leeds have not sent the tickets over yet so Saints are taking the ticket orders and you can either collect them or have them posted out to you. There were about 20 people in the queue and most seemed to be exchanging a few season ticket vouchers. I didn't hear many asking for the extra tickets.

I doubt many will, when you think about it the whole reason for allowing season ticket holders to buy four and get one free is to ensure healthy gate receipts.
you see if saints get an allocation of 4k they will hope they get rid of this in a way so most tickets are paid for.

The methodology is one that both clubs will be hoping legitimately restricts the amount of freebies on offer, and allows the clubs to say they have complied with contractual obligations concerning free tickets.
They can also blame any shortfall on freetickets as season ticket holders taking up an additional paid allocation. Therefore the clubs absolve themselves of blame in their eyes and say its fans fault you cant get a ticket.

Season ticket holders can only buy 2 extra tickets as from yesterday at 10am. I noticed on Southstander that Leeds have downloaded ALL their season ticket holders with their free match 'ticket'. That's 12k tickets gone already.

How long do you think it'll be before Heathrington and/or McMannus moan about lost revenue?

I'm not disagreeing, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see complaints.

I would estimate that the clubs will lose somewhere between 100 to 140 thousand pounds because of the free ticket offer.

I think the plan to get better gates has backfired on the RFL. Who would have thought at this stage of the comp. that there would be 5 all SL clashes. I doubt that we will see this offer next season to be honest.
