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.

Quote: stockportwire "£21 isn't too bad, but it's a bit steep when Wigan are doing a deal for an adult and a child for £10 in the East stand. They are handing a load of vouchers out in the Wigan schools.'"


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 icon_wink.gif 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!

Canon Sharples Primary in Whelley were giving the dad/lad vouchers out to year 4 kids upwards. I think Ince CofE have also got a load they are giving to kids. It's only for the east stand though.

Yes they are selling adult and a child for a tenner. My friend who supports Wigan has bought them. They are for the East stand

I think in RL we get 10% for ticket sold through the club.

10% of all sales for away tickets is retained by the selling club across the baord, it is a Super League agreement.

Wigan are following in the footsteps of Hull and are charging away supporters more for the equivalent seats than in the home end.

Disappointing from the Wigan club.

As the starter of this thread, can I make it clear that my issues are the amount of increase in the space of 12 months and the difference in price between home and away fans.

Warrington charged £26.50 for an away fans' seat at the Wigan game last season, which makes £21 for a seat sound like a bargain to me.
