I wasn't impressed with this when I turned up at 2pm for my first home game of the season thinking there was a cash turnstile for the South Stand. Instead I was made to queue up for 20+ minutes whilst the painfully slow staff in the Ticket Office dealt with the ever lengthening line.

Speak to the police upon the advise of whom, Wigan Athletic have said policy.

I don't think there has been a cash turnstile on the SS all season.

How to put off non season ticket holders. We can only attend about half the games each season hence no season ticket. Now the club is making it difficult for us to obtain tickets on the day or we have to pay an additional booking fee. Probably means we will miss an odd extra game or two, particularly if it's lashing it down with rain.
Very bad idea. Wonder if the club will give a reason for this change.

I'd expect it to be a stadium thing rather than a Wigan thing tbh

Most probably, and if you can't get people in, they won't spend at the outlets either.

I'm sure LM will respond at some time. There must be a reason for it, although I can't think of one.

It will be the moving of the cash i would imagine, so much easier if we all pay online beforehand for the stadium.

People can still turn up on the day you just need to go to the ticket office before the game. If everyone has a ticket at the turnstiles it will reduce the lines as you just scan your barcode and go in

We did, but the queues at ticket office were much longer than normal. The staff there must have had a bloody nightmare!!!

Just emailed the club at the following email address (hope this is the correct one): info@wiganwarriors.com. Expressing my annoyance and stating the inconvenience of the decision that appears to have been taken without fans consultation or communication. They cant expect fans to queue up twice, in the rain, to get into the ground.

but if the club say they are selling them from the east stand ticket office isnt that the one between the East and South stand so that to me says that you will only be able to buy tickets for that game in that stand i could be wrong but that how i read it

Just what i had heard, i did not get near the office...

And I thought that we were practicing queing as we are entering this as an olympic sport this years

Why would the club want to make it easy for the fans
The club keep banging on about trying to increase the crowds and then come up with a solution such as this. Very poor from the marketing side
