Ditto. It's brilliant.

If people can't afford then just get to the pub and spend your £17 on beer and a far poorer atmosphere, simple.

I'm trying to get this off, just hoping to get the bathroom finished.

I'm excited for this already, favourite fixture of the season, great atmosphere, stop whining about three quid you tight s.

The old I'm alright Jack attitude.

How much would it have to be for you to consider not going?



Is how everybody should look at it. It only takes a few years of prices creeping up a couple of quid per year before people are priced out.



Or as Ferguson once put it, "F off and support Chelsea"

Unsurprisingly I agree with latchfordbob, and I'm a member of a football club's Supporters' Union which is affiliated with the FSF and at the forefront of the campaign to standardise away ticket prices.

I'm not going to the Emirates tonight but I know people who are and their tickets were £62. I'm going to Eastlands on Sunday and my ticket is £51. Supporters of "Category B" or lower away teams don't pay those prices.

Man City fans are having a difficult time after recently being upgraded to "Category A" status at every away ground, which they never were before. The likes of latchfordbob and I who always have been know how it feels.

Premier League clubs have largely got away with this because those "A" teams guarantee full stadiums, with plenty of people waiting to fill the void if regulars don't attend, but Rugby League doesn't have this (fortunately, because from the average fan's perspective it is not a good thing) so clubs need to be wary of above inflation price rises.

I'm going to Wigan and agree that compared to the Premier League prices I have already listed it does sound a bargain, but nonetheless prices in Super League are creeping up at a time when average household incomes are not, and that isn't a good thing.

So you would happily pay the same price to watch a game at the KC stadium as you would to stand on the banks of the Humber at New Craven Park?

I want to watch the club that I support at whichever ground they are playing at, so yes, I believe away ticket prices should be standardised.

Personally I think Wendyball clubs should be obliged by law to charge no more than £30 a ticket. They'd then have to stop paying inflated salaries to sundry pondlife who'd otherwise struggle to earn any sort of wage in the real economy. No increase is good news but at least RL still represents something like value-for-money.

Friday booked off work. up and changed to start the crawl into town. Can't wait!

So they should, they get beat by us at home all the time these days so they need to give their fans some incentives.

Whilst its a significent price rise compared to last season to be fair to Wigan their prices have been more than reasonable in comparison to other clubs previously.


What does concern me though is that it appears that the equivalent home fans seated area is cheaper. This replicates the rip-off practices of Hull FC and really isn't on.

Can any Wigan fan confirm the cost of tickets in the home seats behind the sticks?

£20 as far as I know

£21 or £22 in the east (dependant where in the stand)
£23 or £24 in the west (dependant where in the stand)

Totally agree that away fans should pay same price I.e. £20 in away stand.
As previously mentioned wigans prices for the past 12/13 years have been one of if not the most competitive and I have always applauded them for it.
However
What they should have done is increased the prices steadily I.e.£1 a year rather than 1 steep rise every 3 years or so.
"The big one" cannot be taken as the norm due to the promotional aspect and the prices have been around the £17 mark for the last 3 years.

I am not aware of any £10 dad/lad tickets as stated by previous poster however each season ticket holder at Wigan gets a"scrum down" ticket which allows them to buy for 1 game each year 6 extra tickets for £30 in any of the home stands.
I work in Warrington and have just used 1 of the 5 season tickets In my household to buy 6 tickets for the wolfs fans at work.

There's a ruling in the PL that clubs cannot charge more to away fans for the same view. I struggle to believe that home fans are charged some of the ridiculous prices for the sh*te views that I've been charged but apparently they must be.

The only reason I can think is that the extra £1 per ticket goes to Warrington. I think a few clubs operate something similar or maybe I'm getting confused with a percentage going to Wigan if bought from Wigan.

Strange having such a big increase. However at least the facilities you get are worth it, compared to other grounds. It is £20 to get in the away end at Leeds if I remember correctly and that has no roof!
