Does admission to sporting events have VAT in the price? If so then thanks to that nice Mr Osborne there's a 2.5% increase that's unavoidable

Yeah that would never happen under a Labour government

, maybe Mr Salford is cashing in as well then as 40 odd pence doesn't quite add up

£20 Match Day admission is on a par with most of the other Superleague Clubs , including Cas, Hudds is £21. Wigan £22 .

If you buy a membership pass = £ 50 and attend All games you would pay approx £16
other members of the family would qualify for a pass for free and would only pay £12-13 adult admission .

personally the membership only set at £25 , buying matchday tickets on a pay as you go basis would be better , but the club was trying to tempt as many season ticket sales as poss.
They may have been holding back gameday prices in case they were able to freeze rate but obviously decided they couldn't

I missed the option about buying 5 years worth of season tickets ?

Wigan £22 is for the best seats in the West Stand.
For away suporters in the North stand seating is £18.
Good luck Monday looks a strong team.

I looked Wigan up before and as Ashton Bear says, their basic admission is £18 - and this is what concerns me. If we want to attract new fans, will the curious fan in the western side of Greater Manchester choose to watch the perennial cellar dwellers in an old fashioned stadium for £20, or take a short drive to see the Champions in a modern stadium for £18? We [uhave[/u to do good, and easily accessible pre-purchase offers if we want to get anyone other than our core fans watching.

correct it went down 2.5% under the labour government, well if you look at it 20 quid to get in with 4 quid going to call me dave and fib dem fag clegg

EXACTLY MY POINT!

Absolutely disgraceful. Did last season's gates not show them that they have the pricing policy completely wrong? Expecting another decrease in average attendance which will not help the franchise bid.

But on the flip side stew a much better team competing for a top 8 place ( as the club are hoping) will attract some of those occasional supporters to come back. If the team are winning it is the only way new supporters will be tempted. The club are in a catch 22. They know we both need to compete and encourage more support. But how do you get a much better quality player/team together without raising prices based off such a small following.

You have a choice to either whinge about it and let the club go back to the way it's been this past few seasons. Or stand by the club and help it move forward to potentially bigger and better things.

Look if city can't get people in for a fiver and kids for free what hope have we got, but if we look at Sale they are more expansive then us but they have been running a massive press campaign in the Metro with full page adds for each match with some tickets only a tenner, now perhaps the club may do something like this again.

Could just about stomach £20 if we were putting the price down for kids to compensate however we now charge the same price as Man Utd for junior tickets. Wonder which team local kids would rather go and watch? Should be £5 max for kids pay on the gate.

Got my season ticket so it doesn't directly affect me but dear dear a score when it's eighteen to watch the pies. It doesn't really add up



I would suggest the con club need to reinforce the roof as the ten or so who watch for free might become considerably more.

The club have taken a huge gamble with this pricing policy. If the Team are playing attractive rugby and are competitive, fans will pay up. However, if results and performance are poor, our attendances will reach an all time low.

Season tickets are only attractive if you able to make the games. Many fans work unsocial hours or rotating shifts, (or even take holidays during the summer!) thus negating any discount.

I think a good idea would be to reward fans who 'pay and pay' regularly. How about a system where the admission gets cheaper by the game, £20 , £19, £18 etc down to £15 quid. I'm sure such a system could be impletented fairly easily and would encourage regular support.

Cheap Junior and family tickets are essential for encouraging future support.

£20 next year as opposed to £18 last year represents an 11% increase.

With the signings that we have made, is it likely that our performances will be 11% better (God knows how you would measure that?!)

Perhaps more importantly, is it likely that our wage bill has increased by 11%??




I think that's a really good idea!

You could always come and watch Swinton! only £13.£20 is definitely a rip off!

Does that mean that at £18 we can expect Wigan to be 11% worse than us?

you are talking about 1 game that didnt mean a thing, what is your point there?

An 11% increase on a price that last year was already too high and deterred many fans.

I think you'll find the quality of rugby deterred more than the price.

Mate it just means you only get to have 5 pints instead of 6. It's not that bad

Good point..Oh I'll still have the 12 regardless



For me coming over from Leeds I have to consider the £20 train journey plus the £20 entrance fee. When I moved here it was £12 and £14. And they say we have deflation...

I'll be seeing you all at Leeds, Cas, Bradford and Wakefield as usual

Mate your not the only one who has to way up the price of watching Salford. We started choosing away games last year based on cost and will do again this season. It kills us not to be able to go and missed Leeds away as a result. Challenge cup games may also have to be missed due to money restraints.

Also the new pay in advance system will be a godsend and save me having to put 4 season tickets on the visa every christmas.

No, but as a Wigan fan you can expect to watch 11% less of each match as they all leave early?!

It may not mean a thing but they were trying to attract the local support, and they just won't come, i remember a couple of years back we were in the Ashley Brook it is 100 yards from the Willows, i had two free tickets and I could not get rid of them, so what i am saying is the majority of people couldn't give a fig for being there, just like to be armchair supporters.

agree with you Bigpev, I think most of us know the only way to get crowds back to where they were many moons ago is to have a winning team competing on all fronts for trophies on a regular basis.

FWIW my opinion on the £20 admission is that it is too much and will discourage people from the game and the £10 junior ticket is totally ridiculous.

A bit further than that under a Labour government
