the club have got it right for once, Online and phone availability so season ticket fans like me who live over 100 miles from Wigan and travel to every home and away game can purchase a ticket at first opportunity.

Wigan used to do that back in the 80s. They'd play the game on the Sunday and Micron Video would provide the match tape for the Riverside Club to show on the Wednesday or Thursday night before making it available to hire in their shop on Gidlow Lane.

Never mind that, why can't I just walk up and pay in at the turnstile anymore? 140 years of being able to do so and now we are moving to all ticket for no reason that I can fathom.

It's the same as the reason why you can't pay in cash at fairgrounds any more, and instead have to purchase tokens. It's to stop the (minority of) turnstile operators nicking off with the cash they collect. |

| Quote: gerr'emonside "Little clubs leading the way again with simple yet effective ticketing policies. If featherstone rovers can think about the majority of their fans, who are likely to be unable to go to the staduim to buy tickets during the day as they have jobs, why cant we?
As others have said tickets went on sale by phone or online at same time as they did at the ticket office (and at the sort of time most people would be taking lunch breaks) so no reason someone at work couldn't purchase today.
With regard to the re-running of matches, Fev own POR, Uncle Dave owns the DW. They can use their ground to host such things and get income for the club. We would have to rent the stadium (or at least one stand) and most likely much if not all of the bar take would go to Whelan. To cut him out of the profits (maybe even to make any profit) we would need to hold such an event at Orrell and that ground simply doesn't have the facilities (such as a bar or suitable indoor venue, they may not even hold a licence to sell alcohol there).

now perhaps this is something that should be looked at for the future...develope Orrell so these kind of functions for the club can be held there. |

Dan Sarginson: "This is a fantastic opportunity for me to join the biggest name in the competition" 18/10/2013
Tony Clubb: "This is a new exciting chapter of my life signing for Wigan and I couldn't be happier" 18/10/2013
Romain Navarrete: “I’m very happy to have signed for Wigan Warriors. As soon I knew that Wigan were interested, they were the only team that I wanted to sign for. To me, Wigan is the biggest Club in Rugby League and it will be an honour to pull on the famous Cherry-and-White jersey next year. I look forward to working with Shaun Wane and the players at Wigan.”:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10172.jpg |

Stop cash being stolen? Each person is counted in and so it's not that hard to reconcile the till, I suppose that there could be concessions sold at full price but I wouldn't be happy to find I had a kids ticket at £20.
As for you can unless it's a sell out, the last game at home only one turnstile was cash, and only after it got converted to a cash one from ticket. There was a debate last week on this.

Tickets are on sale 24 hours a day via the website. If not you can telephone during the day or call 6 days a week in person. Not sure why their would be any need to sell tickets especially at night?

You should be okay to pay on the night if you want to . I can't see it being a sell out, especially on a Friday night with Sky coverage. Selling tickets in advance for big games helps us reduce queues at the turnstiles and makes transferring into the seating areas easier because you will have the relevent ticket.
Tickets are on sale online from Fev too from today. I hope you lot run out and need more, I'd rather see us outnumbered than have empty spaces on the terracing.
