Couldn't agree more, we do seem to have some cracking ideas....

You would hope IL would attempt to keep them in place if Mick Hogan came knocking when Sale move from Stockport.

4695 Wigan tickets left.

Which one is Pemps (in the photo)?

4693 now



With the game being two weeks and two days away the game should easily pass 22k and maybe even go on and sell-out. Loads will sell in the final week and hopefully 2 more wins against Catalans and Salford should help sales.

If it hasn't sold out by the day, they will get the remainder by walk ups easily.

4694 now

How can that be when it was...


before you posted? Has the club bought one ticket back?

Standing behind '21-12'

I understand if someone choses a seat on the website it treats it as sold and then if they dont buy it it reverts back (not tested it but that is what someone said before the stains game). Also at one point the website showed 2 tickets left in the SStand for the stains game days after it was sold out - so in that case I guess the club took the tickets back on a ticket exchange.

Correct on both counts - the South Stand thing happens quite a lot with people upgrading to the East/West Stands because they're bringing along somewhere extra and there isn't any space in the South, it's just you lot weren't aware until the interactive plan went live on E-Ticketing

I live in Newton and we have a WA post code and I have my car sticker and letter etc.

Yeah. We've had both and we have an L postcode

Will be interesting to track this buying trend over the next few weeks. I suspect sales will pick up after we play Salford.

I would have expected us to sell a lot more than 100 a day with a regional TV advert shown twice a day.

I know it will create a "pre-game" expectation with both Wigan and Warrington fans, but surely the true test is how many "new" fans attend?

I dont think this is a normal sales campaign though. Before the tv advert we had the strongest telesales campaign we have ever launched which brought in a lot of extra sales.

I do not think the club did the tv advert expecting to get a return on the investment from this game. I think they are on a medium to long term plan to build crowds progressively and also saw the advert as an experiment.

I think the casual fan (those who have yet to buy) are more likely to buy in the week of the game. Having said that sales for the stains match in the week of the game were only about 100/day. The other factor is will people pay on the day.

I suppose we will see what happens... Any idea on how many the wire have sold, to get a true sense of the attendance to date.

Over 1,000 it was last week as the £10 ones had sold out.

Pretty sure we will fill the away end

I'd expect people to see the advert and the date and expect to turn up on matchday and pay on the gate. As has been previously posted, the target audience are not rugby diehards.

True. Historically, ticket sales go up steadily as fixtures approach (as you'd expect), and then about a week before the game or as it nears a sell out they'll shoot up.

4371 left (230 sold today) Great work from the marketing team almost 500 tickets sold since the tv advert went live and still 2 weeks till kick off. Can see there being less than 3000 come the salford game and would think a number of people wil buy around this date. usually find the club announce less than 500 in the south stand Mon or tuesday of the week of the match. Seriously think the south could almost be sold out come Kick off for the Safiord game.
