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

Quote: Conroy "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.'"

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.

Monitoring outside for the people inside:



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.

In the north stand, our premium stand.

Get one behind the sticks and it's considerably cheaper.

Hull fans brought the same argument last year.

Our argument though is equivalent view, not most expensive ticket

You still charged more to stand behind the posts last season than Wigan did to sit.

and?
Half our stadium is standing, most people prefer standing.

£19 is a reasonable price, just because Wigan fans wanted to be close to their fans and bought seating tickets in the North doesn't make us expensive, they can sit in the East with the Wire fans at far less which is the 'equivalent' view.

You're missing the point.

Wire fans if they had to pay £30 to sit in your away stand wouldn't moan if the opposite stand paid the same price. The cost is not the issue as such for a lot, just the fact clubs see away fans as a cash cow.
Hull last year offered home fans the same view as away fans for considerably less, their beer and food also cheaper, do you understand now why fans getting peed off by that?

Quote: Paul Youane "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?'"


Are those cheaper tickets valid for the whole game though or are they the ones where they make you leave 15 minutes before the end? When I've been to Wigan you usually see them streaming out after the 65 minute mark.

Supporters of all other teams are more than welcome, just don't fancy having our seats being dirtied by Wigan s.
