At a fans forum or shareholders meeting a couple of years back IL was asked why we (Wigan) couldn't charge the away fans the same as we are charged when we go to their ground. Now to me that would be a far fairer system, but he said it wouldn't be really practical.

did anyone ask why?
what would be difficult?

Wigan charge away fans 1 pound more in the north than the south and this is done because we sometimes shut the north stand to not well attended teams (huddersfield, London, Catalan, Bradford, Crusaders recent examples) for cost reasons and house them in the East Stand. Thus the prices are the east stand prices, ensuring every away fan here is charged the same. It's been the case for couple of years. It's not ideal but at least our reasoning has logic.

Can't really argue with that I guess.

Price of away fans seat Warrington v Wigan last season £26.50.

Exactly. I paid £25 at Stoke last week which is considered cheap. Chelsea on Saturday is £47 for an absolutely woeful view. Liverpool charge £42 for a seat that isn't even in line with the pitch.
