Well I paid £14 for three tickets (2 x ST holder kids) today which I think is a very fair deal indeed. |

I am bringing 3 Man City fans on Friday and they are very surprised how cheap it is to watch a RL Cup tie between Wigan and one of the games biggest names.

How peed off are they going to be when they find out you've mislead them and it's not Good Friday? |

| Matty lad they know when Good Friday was this year.
They are coming because they enjoy the atmosphere at RL games'not just at the game' but before and after too.  |

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

No, the prices are too high for [isome[/i people. |

A sunday game may have encouraged more away fans, as you normally play on sundays, but the majority of the crowd will be home fans and as Leyther Matt and I both pointed out on your board last week Wigan fans don't like sunday games. They are poorly attended compared to friday games and the atmosphere is greatly diminished. Our support like and attend friday night games, we play on fridays as a fan poll chose that day and we are accustomed to playing (and attending) on friday night. A sunday game would have drawn a smaller and less enthusiastic crowd. |

Seeing that up until last year when tickets at this stage were free (£0) to all ST holders, who make up the majority of the fanbase and most of them couldn't be bothered to turn up when they didn't have to pay anything, I fail to see your logic in thinking that if they had to pay slightly less for this week's game that it would attract the sort of crowd we don't normally see until the semi finals.
Some people will find any excuse not to attend even one that does not make sense. If some fans want to say that they don't want to watch what will (likely) be a one sided game then fair enough. The price argument though is a total nonsense. |

To be fair I will attend regardless of price but I always bring a few mates when I can get them in cheaper via a scrum ticket, cup games, offers etc so I do see the logic |

i disagree in part.......using ticket stubs as vouchers to give priority for later round tickets might be an incentive for more people to turn up.
As a non ST holder i have this moan annualy...i attend all cup games home and away then struggle to get tickets for finals and semis cos the stay at home ST holders feel they should have priority for them, which dumps the likes of me at the back of the queue with the once a year supporters

Not this again!
Which cup game in the last 3 years did you struggle to get a ticket for considering none of them were sold out?
Without going into it AGAIN there are more problems with a system like this than there are positives.
As for the once a year season ticket holders, I'm not sure how attending 13 matches and contributing to your club in doing so is any worse than attending 3 potential cup games?
