I think they've just split the blocks, those at the front are still the higher bracket, the ones right at the back are the lower ones. The maps are for guidance rather than being 100% and it's hard (unless you've been watching day to day) to tell if this has changed or was always like that.
We do know they have been tinkering with prices though, albeit not half as much as I would have liked.

Price drops make me feel silly for buying in advance, such poor organisation.
When I bought my tickets for the semi about a year and a half ago I was told we couldn't select a section in the ground, and I have been allocated seats somewhere I don't particularly want to sit, right now I can go on the website and buy 4 tickets in the block I prefer.
I think the message I am being sent is "Don't buy tickets in advance!"
“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”

I've said this from the start and quite honestly, it just pi$$es people off.

It would have been far better to have a system where you can pick the seats you want (like they have already for the challenge cup final), it was a worry knowing that I'd paid £70 for a ticket for the semi and final and could have been at on row A beneath pitch level at old Trafford!

I agree, it should have been as you suggest, but the ticket allocation has been all about packing the fans opposite to the main TV cameras, so that the crowds don`t appear so poor, for the television audience to see.

I don't think this has happened as the most expensive seats are on the Centre line.
If I was the man in charge I would have release either side of the centre line for £40 (£20 conc) and then gone from there, eventually releasing £15/£20 end closer to the world cup in order to give fans the chance of cheaper standing/seating areas at the ends and not peeing off those who shelled out in the first place for the half way line.

I can`t understand then why for the 1st two games at the HJ, the RFL were charging £40 for spectators to stand in the the South Stand, when tickets for the seating area in the East Stand were cheaper?
