Wigan have a track record of buying tickets slowly then moaning when they can't get them anymore..

If Wigan sold the tickets quick then am sure we would send more but its not as if Wigan sell out the amount they get straight away they haven't in recent seasons so 1,800 is probs based on past sales.

Fact is anyone Wire or Wigan if they want to go the game at this moment in time there is nothing stopping them from going on the website or either club shops.

I don't get why anbody cares who has what in terms of tickets aslong as the games sold out. It'll be a great atmosphere.

1800 seems fair enough to me when Wire got nearly 12k on at the weekend and this game is a bigger draw for them. Add in the fact we've struggled at times to sell our tickets for games at the HJ and it makes it look all the fairer.

I'd guess we'll shift them 1800 tickets by the middle of next week and anybody who really wanted one will have got one. At a guess the club may be able to get another 3-400 and by the looks of it that'll be more then enough.

This started as a nice thread where two sets of fans were excited about a local derby. What a shame.

It's daft isn't it.

People should be talking about the game, the players, the atmosphere etc but instead are bickering about who'll have an extra couple of hundred tickets in a stand.

I'm heartbroke we've only been given 1800

You do know my dad is bigger than your dad?

It really doesn't matter does it. Just get a ticket if you want one and I'll see you there! Just need to get these two games out of the way this weekend then the real banter can start!

Fact is, we are concentrating on accumulating a "much" larger crowd of 16K+ this Friday, so please bear with us.

We normally sell out the away end at the HJ but last year we didn't, if that means Warrington want to hold back tickets as they think the home fans will buy them, then fairplay to them!

Personally I think it would be best to give us the full stand and put all tickets on sale to both wigan season tickets holders and none season ticket holders. Sell as many as we can and then give the remaining tickets back to wire.

As people have said though, people who want to go, will go.

As for wire fans having a dig at Wigans following last year. you only brought around 1,000 the week after you got to the challenge cup final!

Just been down to stadium for mine x 3.
3 in queue for us, 1 in queue for the latics.

This makes us 3 times as popular.

I think this is a good post. Wigan fans have a mentality of leaving things to the last minute and then complaining when they cant get in. I agree that Wire can do what they want with their tickets, i just thought maybe they should of sent us a few more. We take 1800 to the likes of Wakey, Cas, Salford etc. so im pretty sure we'll have more than that at Wire. Anyway, sorry for sparking this pretty pointless debate, as you said if anyone wants to go the game they can go!!

Not to worried about the ticket allocation but having had a look at the official wigan web site am surprised that tickets go on general sale on sat at 10 am when we have a home game the night before. would think that if they went on general sale on friday night anyone going to the Hull Kr game who is not a season ticket holder could buy them after the match. If any season ticket holders have not bought by then then it will be their own fault as they will have had all week. Unfortunately this wil be a sky plus game for me as I do not finish work in Chester untill 6!

As usual will be buying from the Warrington shop. Two minutes walk from my office, no fuss and no worrying. I did this when I had a ST too... simples.
