| This £10 to Wigan? Does it include the inevitable 2hr wait to get out of the world's most stupidly designed car park or do we have to pay extra for that?

Dont park on the stadium there is an estate/roads accross from the red robin pub with ample parking and you can get away easy.

Surprised even if its 75% full.
Leeds Wigan @ JJB has never been a massive crowd puller, has it?

| Will go if get the evening off work, but usally going to Wigan brings defeat, play off defeats, CC semi finals and many crushings by Wigan in the past. Not the happiest hunting ground apart from last year second game.

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

| i think leeds could have done something similar this year.
no real attempt at marketing from leeds imo. a bit of effort would not go a miss particularly as prices have gone up this year.

Really? I must have imagined all of those bus ads, billboards, radio ads, customer emails and ads in the YEP.
There are ways of marketing other than discounted tickets. Whilst it's not a bad idea from Wigan, reducing your tickets by a third means that you need to increase your crowds by a third to make it worthwhile in the short term - that's not an easy task.

i agree long term its not the best strategy. but it does get new fans through the door and improves the atmosphere
doing this once a season my attract any new fans who have come to see what its like to keep coming for future games at normal price
i remember seeing a lot of ads at the start of the season but not too much lately

There's also the issue of just how many reduced price tickets you can give away at Headingley these days with capacity reduced by the partial closure of the South Stand.
Only games you could maybe make it work for would be Catalans or Crusaders at home IMO, which are hardly massive drawcards, even on reduced prices.

or rather than discounting tickets, maybe the club could offer every season ticket holder the chance to bring a friend for free...

Mathematically speaking if you reduce ticket prices by a third then you need to increase the crowd by 50% to get the same revenue. It's been a long day yawn!
