Quote: MattyB "Agreed. The amount of people I've read feel like they've been mislead into purchasing tickets 'high up in the gods' for fear of missing out due to seemingly no other alternative, only to later find small batches of available seats in better locations.
Why not just put out all available seats right from the off and give supporters the choice at the beginning of the week?
As it stands Wigan have 'nine' single seats available to purchase on their e-ticketing platform. Now if these nine tickets are the very last available to our supporters fair enough but if there's a sudden batch of a few hundred to a thousand tickets appear out of nowhere then it's a poor show (by the RFL).'"
It's just to control how full the stadium looks I think. For a few years now in less popular areas they've sold tickets on every other row, or as it seems this year, in 2 rows at a time. Then when they've gone they'll release the rows in between.
If you look at the blocks in the 3rd tier of the North Stand on the Wigan ticket website now you can see it.
