| 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.

| Quote: bilko on the Wigan board "Wigan charge away fans 1 pound more in the north than the south and this is done because we sometimes shut the north stand to not well attended teams (huddersfield, London, Catalan, Bradford, Crusaders recent examples) for cost reasons and house them in the East Stand. Thus the prices are the east stand prices, ensuring every away fan here is charged the same. It's been the case for couple of years. It's not ideal but at least our reasoning has logic.'"

Found out last night that this is not a general offer to anyone.
It's only for the children of certain schools that took part in the recent tag rugby event held at Central Park.
My lad came home with one earlier in the week and was going on about golden tickets? Basically his school could have organised a night out and done a behind the scenes per match and then parade round pitch half time but unfortunately no one at his school read the email and contacted the club to do it!
6/7 of the competing schools have taken up the offer and will be seen at half time.
Cannon sharples/ince st Williams etc are included in the ones who took part in the event and took up the offer.

| We shouldn't be getting into tit for tat, "Well you charge away fans £X so you have no right to complain" type arguments between ourselves.
It is not the ordinary paying supporters of any club that set the ticket prices. For what it's worth I do think the price of our North Stand is ridiculous, but it doesn't affect me because I choose not to sit there. I'm glad our ground - unlike Wigan's - has the option to sit or stand. These points are just personal thoughts though. They won't change anything.
If all supporters lobbied clubs for a fairer deal instead of squabbling with each other, then none of these descrepancies would be occurring.

I think I'm right in saying that a couple of years back one of the Bundesliga cubs put their cheapest prices up to 20 euros and fans from all clubs held a boycott that weekend. It would never happen here.

You'd pay £100 for a ticket if it'd guarantee a win? Would you be happy that everyone else in the stand were also charged the same price?
