Comparing Apples and Oranges
Wigan's pricing like for like with the 3 other clubs I've chosen to compare them with in the past (Saints/Wire/Leeds) is still IMO the best.
There is a point to be made about the take up of a New ST's and Lapsed ST Holders, but it also has to be linked in with conversations about the renewal being the price it is to reward loyalty, and if lapsed ST holders could come back at anytime on cheaper prices then people will lapse them more regularly.
What I do agree with, is that 20/21/22 are out of the Norm exception Years due to COVID
And I do believe that anyone who lapsed in those years "Could" have been given an opportunity to reinstate at renewal prices.
And I agree there maybe should be some other alternative to just starting on the top prices for lapsed ST Holders from say 5 or 10 years ago - Let's say a mid way point between the 2 prices if previous ST held in the last say 5 or 10 years
But, and I know people think I'm always defending the club, the OP is very slanted to make the clubs ticket prices look bad when in effect like for like (As I have on previous threads shown with direct comparisons of ours and other clubs prices) ours are very good, especially auto renewal and renewal prices'" '"
Nothing wrong with defending our club as others including some of our supporters love to look at the down side first.

| Quote: TonyM19 "This is the first season since 2020 that we have had a season ticket (we had one for at least 10 years before the pandemic). We knew that we would miss some games this season but we thought that we could fall back on the system where you can swap tickets for game you miss for ones later in the season to make it worth our while. Together with letting pour kids use them for some games it was a decent saving. We have done ticket swaps in the past, but its not available any more. Minor gripe I know, but it just makes it not cost effective for us to have the season tickets from now on. Just flagging it up if anybody else was thinking of swapping tickets.'"
Sorry could you clarify this? What do you mean by swapping tickets?

| If you couldn't make a game, you could swap your tickets to a different game later in the season. We used to do it regularly. Meant that we could bring friends/family to the game we could make. You can't do it now. No big deal, but it was a factor in us deciding top get season tix from a price per game point of view

So my understanding is that if you cant make it to a game (holiday,illness,cant be d etc) you could give the ticket to anyone later on to get in free but you could also use your ticket aswell,that doesnt make commercial sense as it isnt the clubs fault that you are missing a game but the club gets stung for £28 upwards.

Commercial risk that probably didn't work so is no longer available.
We now have memberships where people can pick and choose.

Your understanding is wrong. You couldn't let someone else use your ticket. It was cancelled for the game you couldn't make and you got extra tickets for a different game. It's no big deal. I just thought you could still do it. The person I spoke to at the ticket office said they stopped it last year. It must have been a real sphere ache to manage so it's understandable that they've stopped it. It just tips the value of getting a season ticket over the edge for us and it will be a membership net season
