Just ordered our tickets online and the email confirmation comes from Wigan Athletic...

Quite amateurish

Going well off from the OT, but these are the thoughts of the Latics mob

This one was a real highlight...



Absolutely deluded bunch. Part of me really wishes they'd have folded.

You Sure it doesn;t say Wigan Football Club?
Does it Deffo say "Wigan Athletic"?

Sure does. Even has a latics banner in the email

For a start they are tied into contracts I believe until July when a new one is being installed

But in essence - yes exactly what I mean
The total entitled attitude, Wanting everything immediately, no recognition of their mistakes, willingness to be patient, live within means, provide a long term viable club etc.
They don't see it - it's like a fantasy world were money doesn't matter, balancing the books doesn't matter, you;ve bought us so you should be preapred to lose 15/20million a year or why else would you buy us!!!!

Very interesting and would love to see a Photo of that

Because our/my tickets have Wigan Warriors /Liam Farrell in the Banner and the confirmation email at the bottom says "Many Thanks" from Wigan Warriors

I haven't heard of anyone else saying that a Latics banner etc. was on their confirmation email etc. and would have expected a big furore if it had????

If your's is a one off then that would be strange - especially as they are being sold through Ticket master etc.

Here you go. Not a big deal but quite surprising

Well that is weird
And the email is fromTicket master as well
Off work tomorrow so may send a few messages out to people I know to see if someone at the club is aware

Mines from the Warriors with Farrell in the header and clash of the champions!

I didnt get any email confirmation, I just printed the order page when I purchased the tickets

It's in SARL so it must be true https://www.seriousaboutrl.com/penrith- ... tp0TLOAHYM

St Helens Down Under-History Makers,I think it should really read,St Helens Down Under -History Makers after Wigan Warriors of course.

So people have received tickets emailed to them? Yesterday? I've bought a ticket (or, at least, I thought I had), but I'm not seeing any email.

That punctuation and grammar made my eyes bleed! Jesus. Did you even go to school?

Looking at the ticket map, there can’t be more than 600/700 left for this. Singles only in everything bar the North stand and the North has filled up rapidly this past week.

A great night awaits.

With hindsight could there be an argument for a larger stadium? Downsides would be giving up home advantage, the potential costs of hiring another stadium and the risk of empty seats. But in an ideal world the fixture would gain some momentum in the coming years and bigger stages are considered (ala Leeds at Elland Road for a few years).

I asked the question previously but no-one seems to know how the revenue is distributed.

Short answer. IMO, No

Tough to say really but I’m not sure we’d have seen this sort of snowball effect had we taken the game to the Etihad for example. The game sold 10,000 tickets on Day One and that has just got peoples backsides in gear. I got them towards the end of that first week because of the strong sales or else I probably wouldn’t have bothered yet. Had the game been at the Etihad, I think you then run a risk of not building up the sort of momentum you have by having a limit of 23/24k and as weeks go by people can find excuses not to go.

When all comes to all I think pretty much everyone desperate to be there will be. Had we taken it to the Etihad, I think we might’ve managed around 30k but it’s a costly exercise and the empty seats aren’t a great look on TV.

Think a lot of the fan base are more likely to go with it being at the familiar DW and in the town of Wigan.

I kind of like the idea that some people will miss out on tickets. Asking mates for any spares, maybe even touts haha.

Makes it an occasion

Pity the stadium has a reduced capacity as I feel we could have achieved full 25k sellout.

Definitely will be an occasion:

A 22k crowd made up of mostly Wigan fans.
Saturday 8pm kickoff under the floodlights.
Probably a firework entrance.
Pre-match band to get the crowd warmed up.

Cannot wait!!

It is and hopefully they can maybe squeeze a few more in here and there but it’ll look great and be a fantastic occasion regardless.

Hopefully they can manually replace broken seats into one area in the stadium (and section it off) and release more tickets over the next few weeks. I suppose it depends how many broken seats there are, is it dozens or is it hundreds?

Official twitter account just announced 22,000 sold.

Taking into account the corporate allocation doubt there is more than 800 to 900 left on general sale

Feel the club have really turned it round with getting involved in the community and the attendances are showing that.

Obviously the team doing well and the Field/French effect but a lot to do with Matty Peet imo.

Leigh away last year last game of the season had a huge away following.

Good Friday sell out.

Hull KR playoff game and Warrington CC game had brilliant atmospheres and good attendances for non ticketed games.

Massive following at Old Trafford.

Season tickets up on last year.

And now the WCC will sell out 6 weeks in advance.

Well done to all involved
