Price freeze and less than a pound a game in the south stand for juniors, excellent!!

If Wigan market the junior season tickets correctly they should sell shed loads.

My dad is getting 2 for my nephew and niece for the first time so it shows it's a good idea.

I was considering switching to the South Stand to save some money but it's only £9 cheaper

. Think I'll stay where I am. For the extra £9 I get a better view and can roll up 30 seconds before kick-off and have a guaranteed seat.

Match day tickets for juniors (over 5's) are still scandalous at £11.
Should be a fiver tops!

Brilliant stuff!
but....


he's right.

Great deal for kids. Almost worth buying a ticket for someone just for the free tickets to away games!

Maybe thats a tool to try and get kids to buy(or their parents more like) to buy season tickets.

I don't see why any kids with even a passing interest in Wigan RL wouldn't be nagging their mams t*ts off for a season ticket for Xmas.

I'd have asked for 2 at that price just incase i lost one

Do they not still do that family season ticket thing where it works out dirt cheap for kids?

West stand for us next season £197 each and no queue's for the bar and slasher... Though i didnt encounter much singing and chanting and nobody seemed to mind Castleford's dirty cheating filthy knuckledragging thicko aggression bar me..

I think my alzheimers must be kicking in 'cos I dont recall spending over 200 quid for my West Stand ' gold ' season ticket last year.

Anyone ?

When I take the kids next season, they're getting to the age where they may want to bring friends (as a one-off). £11 won't be an attractive option.

The season ticket for kids is a good idea but its a pity that they can't do something on kids prices in the other stands. I think some parents still won't take the kids if it means sitting in the South Stand.

I think this idea will have been prompted by the fact the average age of the crowd is considered biased to the older generation than they want to attract a younger audience. Very good marketing from the club if so.

As to holding the prices for the other tickets, this is good news. I think this means I get mine cheaper than this season as I agreed to buy them for 2010 when I bought this seasons for a discount. So I assume that still applies.

Dave

I want to upgrade my single Adult Season Ticket for the South to a Family Ticket (2 Adults 2 Kids), the kids have been to the odd game this season so in effect I'm bringing in 3 newbies!
Have family ticket details been released (can't see on site), surely I warrant a fairly decent deal for the upgrade?

Aslong as your not infront of me I'm not bothered

Exactly right Dave. Why only the South Stand? If they want to attract younger fans it should be in every stand!! What the hell's the difference?

Completely agree.

Took my two lads who are 5 and 7 to Shuddersfield last week for the combined price of £0, as primary age kids are free. £11 really is incredibly bad marketing from the club.

I'd agree with that - given that taking a 5-10 year old means weeks and weeks of taking them to slowly get them to pay their attention to the match rather than kicking the seats/demanding Quavers etc £11 a pop is simply not worth it. Sad really as I'd happily take my two to plenty of games.

Fair play to IL for the price freeze, but with no signings and no coach, I dont see how they can put them up!

The kids prices should apply to all stands, thats the only way to get them in. I want to start taking my nephew but the cost isnt worth it.

Appreciate that side of things mate.

It's something i supppose that needs to be looked at.

I can't help that feel at 26quid they should badger their mates into getting them aswell. When i was 12-16 ish and at school(around 96-99ish) the season tickets used to be about 30 quid and loads of lads used to get them.

Just wish i was still eligible to get one

We are in the South stand, would like to move to the East, but with two kids, not going to happen. Even £50 for kids in the East would be OK, but nearly 4x the price means the club will miss out on some extra cash.

I've just rang up to buy a new season ticket, seems they don't want my money.

Said they've not received confirmation they can sell new business yet, even acknowledged the programme suggested I could. Was told I could try again mid week.

it is still the same,as that's what i paid last year and my daughter's was £147

Brilliant.

Only 15,000 seats not up for renewal...

Brilliant news.......but £26 isnt a £1 a game, if you dont go away...its £2 a game. Still cheap imo.
Cracking idea about if you dont go to a game you can take a friend at a later date.
so thats celtic and salford being given a miss, and a spare ticket for leeds ans saints going for a fiver for all the young entrepeneurs out there.

there will also be a lucrative market for away vouchers.
you buy a season ticket for £26, sell the away voucher book to a student (my 18 yr old still gets in free at away games with my 3 yr oldds free vouchers) for £25.......make a tenner on the leeds and saints games, and you get to watch 11 home games free, and make £9 profit.

i'll have a dozen

FWIW if anyone wants to sell their away vouchers for next season PM me.
