| Quote: Rogues Gallery "But you don't go anyway? The prices for season tickets are reasonable IMO especially for those who did the auto renewal packages.
And much better priced than the ones at Saints, Wire and Leeds.
You are indeed correct, but like I have said, will they remain as low in 2023, especially if the club returns to winning ways next season,which is
all about getting the confidence of supporters back, especially with it being the 150th Anniversity of the club next season.
I wish the club all the best in their efforts to make it a triple trophy winning 2022 season!

No, just a loyal supporter of his mentor IL and doing his bit to sell season tickets for the club.

| Quote: Jukesays "I agree about the "Full" price
But they are as cheap or cheaper in most areas compared to Saints/Wire and agree "New" prices who don't do the early bird are a bit steep, but no steeper than anyone else's who will have had the same issues. And once on the auto renewal or renewal packages it becomes very cheap imo
As for the Laticd analogy, yes 299 for sidelines on their renewal/early bird package is good and I'm guessing around 13 a game. But after that 369.
But ours at 195 for 15 a game is very good, renewal at 230 17.50 is good. As you say, jumping on the initial new bandwagon at a non early bird price is were it gets steep (but I'd bet they'll sell very few of them as most people will go early one way or another).
Latics junior prices are good, but they as well jump outside the early bird period
And I think our junior prices are better AND go up to 24 as mentioned previously
But
I'm guessing not everyone thinks so'"
We get that you and the other approx 4k are getting a great renewal price, but the question is really how the club entice the 4-6000 lapsed season ticket holders back. I respectfully suggest saying "we're cheaper than St Helens/Warrington" wont cut the mustard, nor will "part with £300 to see more dull rugby played by inferior quality players, even though they are local lads" work either.
We are 150 years old in 2022 and hoped to see that figure used somewhere in the marketing. I would have thought selling the south stand ones at £150 with full payment up front may have generated more sales.

| This is a really difficult conversation and probably indicative of where RL is at as a sport. As the old saying goes - if you win business on price, you'll eventually lose it on price.
The figures banded around (for all clubs) are cheap. If they are good value is subjective to the individual. I'm somewhere in the middle i.e it's a great price for a hour or two out, but I probably wouldn't pay £5 to watch some of the 'stars' being showcased in SL.
That being said, for what is the top tier of RL in the country, tickets should be a lot more expensive & season tickets should reflect that too. You can't win however. If tickets started at £28 for adults, you'll get people saying it's too expensive. By a way of a quick comparison, that's what I think tickets start at for Sale.
Ultimately and like I said in the opening line - if you price yourself as cheap, then that's how you'll be seen.

Getting in for free or watching some decent rugby?
Or both?

Are they reducing their tickets????

| A non-ST holder can buy a seat in the East or West for £290. Furthermore they can spread that over 9 months.
I presume we will play 14 home games next season (11 plus 3 loop fixtures) so that's £20 a game. Even if we play 13 it's only £22. Hell it's only £26 if we only play 11.
That's up to 5 free games according to the package.
We are hardly ripping people off are we??
If a fan of the club doesn't want to spend £35 (based on 9 month payment plan) a month to watch us then what else can the club actually do?

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

The moaners would also want a free return limousine to the games.

Although, can anyone remember whether [iall[/i games (inc playoffs) were included in the parking charge before the wendyballers started being awkward?

| Even with the good bargain prices, season ticket sales might not sell at the rate the club expects at the moment unless it makes clear to supporters what is happening about about the return of French from down under and the future of Hardacre as a Wigan player, the promise by Lenagan about one more signing together with what promotions will be made from the Academy, especially if Reserve rugby is to return.
The silence on what is coming out of the club at the present time is not helping as some supporters, especially those with families could be holding back from buying season tickets because of the Covid situation, getting near to Christmas and family incomes not being the same as they were a couple of years ago when things were normal.
The club needs to give out some positive and encourging news about what is happening, including what the size and compostion of the squad will be for next season and not just take it for granted that supporters willl buy season tickets without bothering about anything.
