According to Bryan Carney on the Origin programme the game is a sell out.

Was just going to post that, says on Wigans official site that it has sold out but i wasnt sure whether it meant our allocation or the full stadium, either way should be a cracking derby, cant wait.

Leyther_Matt says that there are still tickets available from Saints.

Had a look on Saints online store and still tickets left in the North & South Stands so no insider info required Rogues

Should have sent remaining tickets to Wigan, we would sell them.

Weird, because my friend bought us two tickets for the north stand, and Saints rang him up and said there has been a problem with the systems reselling tickets that have already been sold, and we'd have to be relocated... When he asked for anywhere else in the north, they told him the north was completely sold out, and we had to go in the south.

That might explain why so much of the ground was showing as available when I was looking yesterday. I hope we can fill it and not have a farcical situation where thousands are double booked.

Could this be a case of the clubs selling tickets manually and electronically, but neither system updating the other. So double booking occurs.

Would be funny wouldn't it? 5,000 people with tickets not allowed in

Can you imagine the chant.
"There's gonna be a riot"

Surely they got over that hiccup with the first match?
