stinks really as they are being penalized for being away fans as home fans behind the sticks get a cheaper rate.

Yep. There's also any ST holders that might not haVe been able to attend, for whatever reason.

South Stand is now sold out for tonights game.

They say that nearly every week yet I bet there were 1000 empty seats last week. I think they should relax that requirement to leave 500 unsold, especially at this time of year when you'll always get some season ticket holders who aren't at the game because they are away on holiday. The club are probably losing money doing it the way they do. I know some tight wads who when they see the South Stand Sold Out notices give up and don't want to pay any extra for the other stands.

It's probably about time the club think about changing the South Stand to reserved seating. How many would be okay with sitting in the same seat every match? Wouldn't bother me!

I'd be happy about it as I could choose a good seat in the middle and have a pint in the bar until 5 mins before kick off.

I used to sit in the south stand. The reason I moved was due to all the messing around with seats and if you're a touch late , you end up sat in the corners and so on...

Never seen the point in unreserved seating TBH. I dont see hardly any advantages to it at all.

Totally disagree! I believe unreserved seating gives people the option to sit where they like in the South stand if they come early

Unreserved in the South is better. Normally about 8 of us for home matches but for the Huddersfield game some friends wanted to come and we bumped into more friends at the ground an hour before kick off. 14 of us in the end and we all managed to sit together and had a goood night. Couldn't do that if it was reserved seating. I do feel they however there is scope to leave less unsold seats than they do at present.

I honestly don't think the unsold seats is a major issue as their are still plenty seats available in the East & West stands which don't cost that much more. If the ground was selling out almost every game then I think the club would relax the 10% unsold ticket allocation rule.

We always get to the ground early (which can be inconvenient sometimes due to work) so I can see the advantages of reserved seating in the South Stand, however, when it's dry my kids like to sit near the front but obviously when wet we sit in the middle so unreserved seating also has it's advantages.

your right.........i was looking over from the East and scratching my head........why the need to call sell-out with 1,000 left?.........50 left......maybe yes.

Because all season tickets sold count as a seat sold for all games. Wigan can't know if someone is on holiday, sick, stuck in traffic, at work etc so they can't resell those seats. The South Stand is unreserved seating so is limited to around 90% of the actual number of seats (around 500)

I expect that there are only around 1000 seats available for general sale at all Wigans home games, I'm sure LM will have the exact figure.

i see your point rogues, but i dont think 1,000 season ticket holders went AWOL last week.
im betting Health and Safety involved somewhere...
