Sounds like it was on par with the fiasco of getting a train home from Victoria!

I was in e230 as well, I got on 20 mins before KO and saved 7 seats for our group as there was already folk sat in them and the stewards mumbling something about ticket master. Fortunately a combination of some pretty foul trumps after a pre-match session on the real ale and a steward stood on the end of the row kept our pews til everyone showed up but it looked a mess in general.

I got my tickets via the Wigan web site off Ticket Master and was asked by someone was I in the right seat so I assume they had duplicates for ours. Being an IT person all I can say is ticket master must have a totally rubbish booking system designed and implemented by a bunch of rank amateurs if they can't avoid the double booking scenario.

Bring back the terraces

I emailed a complaint to the rfl this morning as I experienced the same incident. 20mins we had to stand up as no seat was available. I have now received a refund on my tickets.
What a slack setup !!
