Quote: Wigan/Leeds Andy "Like I said you need to compare the same game v the same opponents otherwise you're comparing apple and pears.
Wigan didn't get 20k at £10 because season tickets holders have already paid for their season tickets. The discounted prices only affect those that buy their tickets.
Last season we played Leeds twice at home with an average of about 14,700.
Take off the 10,000 season tickets and Wigan sold 4,700 tickets at an average of about £16 (which will be higher than reality but I'm being conservative) This doesn't take into account the extra merchandising etc we made as well bring potential new fans to the game.'"
And did you see the que for the caravan around the South stand? They must have made a mint that neet. BTW did you know that Wigan RL sell more merchandise in the Wigan Athletic club shop than Wigan Athletic (info courtesy of our CEO)
