Wigan offer a flex ticket for those that dont want to commit to a full ST due to holidays etc.

the kids ticket is pretty cheap too.

I personally think they have all the bases covered and if you compare it to football, even vs a second tier team its a bargain!

https://wiganwarriors.com/seasontickets/ Those prices are reasonable imo. particularly the renewal ones. Adults Behind the posts works out at just over £16 per game £18 in the East or West Stands. The junior 8 - 17 year olds work out at less than £3 per game. The savings on renewal v match day is between £80 and £100 per season i.e £6.15 to £7.70 per game. I agree they could do something with the lapsed renewals for one season maybe a £3 to £4 per game reduction and then let the fans who had lapsed rejoin the renewal scheme after that one season.

i am one of those fans in the "lapsed over recent years" category.

i was getting bored with the product on show (not just Wigan), and found that i wasnt bothered if i missed a home game. that then became missed several home games, to the point in the last 2 seasons i watched Wigan i only attended 3-4 games each season, thus not worth renewing at any cost.

There were several factors in my decline in watching including bored at some games (usually v Wakey, London, Hudds) where i would just sit and think why i am here, disillusioned with Wigan for various factors with the inability to manage simple things like season ticket renewals, new shirts, sponsors etc etc, general mallaise about RL and seemingly wanting to level down not up which still sort of applies (Saints are top dogs at the minute, so the RL way is to bring them back to the pack and not other way round), family, work, rearrangement of fixtures from Friday night, other interests taking over

so as you can see, that didnt happen overnight, but over a period of years. i attended home and the majority of away games so have gone from full on fan to nothing

how do the club attract me back as a season ticket holder (note that i attended with my dad (East Stand) and also had a South stand ticket for my daughter (+ 1 or 2 friends) (now at Uni)), so they effectively lost 3+ ST holders at around the same time. My dad misses most of the early season fixtures as he has a place in Spain, and chooses to spend Feb - April over there, so the front loading of fixtures for pitch repairs etc doesnt help

Would i buy a full price ticket now? No i probably wouldnt as i still have other commitments, and likely to miss at least 3-4 games, so doesnt make financial sense

would i buy a ticket somewhere inbetween early bird renewal full price, yes i probably would if i know i am going to get early bird option for the following season, and can accept i wont be going to all the games anyway

i dont go for pre /post match entertainment, so my only interest is what is served up on the pitch. Seeing a couple of games last year (post the Lam era) got me a little bit interested again (i did take my daughter to 3 games whilst she was home when Lam was in charge, but the less said about that the better ), but equally some of the games played during the world cup (not just the mens game) got me back interested in the game i love to watch, and remembering why i love watching it

Hopefully the club already realises it has lost quite a few season ticket holders over the last 3-4 seasons, so still have our records on file / database. i'd be happy for them to fire me an offer through and become a ST holder again, but admit i wouldnt pay full price at the minute as its not worth it cos i know what i'll be missing

I know what you mean in relation to a general malaise. Some home games are a hard watch and thats even with us as dominant as we have been. There's nothing worse than seeing a sp away end or in some cases even closed and a handful of away fans put in the corner of the North Stand.

Its why I am happy that tickets for the away stand could perhaps be given free to schools. We did something similar at the Toulouse game at home where we were presented with the LLS. Home Bargain employees were given free tickets and the East Stand looked much better 3/4 full.

There's now only 2 games a season where that away end is full- Wigan and Warrington (and not always full with Warrington) so there can be a really poor atmosphere for the majority of home games.

I always get a season ticket out of loyalty to the club, but then Thursday night games in February in the soulless DW with no away support when it’s on Sky do test the loyalty.

sounds like 2023 will be music to your ears....cant see the 'dominance' continuing

Whilst I think the competition looks like it may be getting more competitive it would take a brave man to bet big against Saints to win the GF again.

Cue the LeBron69 music

Here's the thing - no matter what they say, that Saints side isn't as good as it used to be. Same goes for Leeds, same goes for us, plus add in Bradford and it's reasonable to think what's the point? Is it to see Hudds, Cats or another team who offers nothing get given a place at the top table? All those home grown players. All those away fans adding to the general wealth of all clubs ...

I used to watch Newton Vs KFC, Scully Vs Faz, Long Vs Lam etc - all for a cheaper price than what I do now. We've not stagnated as a sport - we've gone back.

Interesting that quite a few on here fit in the lapsed fan category - I imagine there would be a high number of those in Wigan after Covid, financial pressures and the less than entertaining years under Adrian Lam.

When i used to go it was 125 quid for a adult season ticket in the South Stand! know it is 295 quid!

I am pretty sure warrington and st helens were the only times we opened the away end last season aswell in the regular season (and warringtons was poor by their standards). There was some very poor away followings to wigan this season, i think we did get our fair share of thursday nights though.

I get what you are saying. The Saints team under Woolf is the greatest defensive Saints team I've ever seen in nearly 40 years of watching us however when you think back to the early 2000s we had a prime Wellens, Long, Cunningham, Sculthorpe etc plus the likes of Newlove and Joynt.

Its different eras now though with Sports Science and GPS trackers etc, players take better care of their diets and there's much less players with real flair. Thats for a whole other conversation though so I'll try and get back on topic.

The reason I thought we were a hard watch at times last season is more to do with the standard of the opposition and the fact that some games were won by HT. That coupled with the non-existent away support often made a second half meaningless.

However it does seem sometimes that we are misty eyed and nostalgic but only remember the good times. Some Saints fans seem to recall that Knowsley Road was packed out every week and with a great atmosphere. That wasn't the case at all, many weeks I was there with it half full and like a library. The problem of course is that given we have only been in the new stadium since 2012 then clearly there aren't many great memories and occasions to have been created as yet so all the great memories come from the old days.
