Fúcking joke.

I'll be on the phone at 9.15 on Friday for my 3 tickets though

They'll be gone by 10 O'Clock.

How thick are the people who have organised this?

Not really. They will be hoping to sell out to their own fans. I'm sure if sales at Barrow don't go well we will be given more tickets.

Not thick at all. They've basically limited the free ticket offer to 1,000. I'd imagine there will be plenty more made suddenly available when they are on open sale.

What a complete joke

which i fancy will cause uproar among season ticket holders who missed the freebies.

in fairness...it does say "subject to availability" on the offer.
now we know what it means

theres bound to be more available.......isnt it 30% for the away team?

I thought it was.

Barrow have already had their free ticket allocation in the previous round. Therefore they are looking to cash in on what is a massive day for them.

It is thick.

They don't even seem to know what the capacity is at their own stadium.

1000 tickets is ridiculous.

which begs the question......."who is subsidising these freebies?"

Is it phone only on Friday or can you pick them up in person from the ticket office?

Theres going to be plenty of annoyed people come lunchtime Friday i reckon.

Alex in overreaction shocker!



How are they 'thick'? Presumably they have to take into account things like safety at the ground and also popularity of the game amongst their own fans. We drew an away fixture and that means we don't get all the advantages the home team does, regardless of whether we're in the SL or not. They will understandably want to create a big atmosphere for their team and they can't really do that with Wiganers making up half the team can they? Don't rule out more becoming available later too, as others say.

I'll be trying to nab a few tickets but it's not the end of the world if I don't manage it.

'Match tickets will be available to existing season ticket holders from 9am to personal callers on Friday 20th March. Telephone sales will commence at 9.15am'

I dont get this bit?

Personal callers means people calling in at the ticket office in person!

They'll all have gone by 9:15

If you go up physically to the ticket office you will be able to buy them from 9am, if your ringing for them you can only call from 9.15 onwards.

glad i dont work on friday mornings

It's a bit unfair on season tickets seeing as every season ticket holder was told they could have a free ticket for the 4th round of the cup... Obviously not everyone is going to get their free ticket... It certainly doesn't look like i'll get my two as i'm working from 9am on Friday morning

I hope not, Ill be ringing them 9.15, I dont think I can get there for 9

It does say 'while stocks last'

So basically priority for the jobless



Oh I'm off Friday so might pop down if I get up early enough.

No over reation at all.

They don't even know what the capacity will be on the day of the game, let alone the fact they haven't sent a realistic number of tickets to Wigan.

There will be some very dissapointed people on Friday.

You must be joking! The speed they work at on the ticket sales windows they will only have dealt with about four people in quarter of an hour.

In a way yeah.

it says 1 ticket per season ticket?

dont say how many season tickets you can take though....so i expect its limitless.
so if anyones off, take all your mates/familys season tickets down so they get one.

ive one off college friday.....so it'll be 8 at least.
