Sounds like they've been busy all day then, hopefully a good attendance.

Theyve closed down the e-ticketing service!! Id imagine because they havent sorted the ST holders problem out yet on site. Things like this this should have been ironed out weeks ago.

Just arrived back home, queued for 40 mins at ticket office, got two for the South Stand. Very busy.

Just got an email off the club saying it's back up again but only for season ticket holders to claim their seats. Anyone else must use the phone or go to the ticket office.

No more general sales (on-line sales that is) at the moment while the season ticker holders have the opportunity to get their tickets.

They didn't say how long this would be for but purchases for seats not held by season ticket holders can't be made on-line at the moment. In theory.

Just got mine from ticket office, good sized queue, approx 35-40 people queueing. Worth queueing for though when you here a latics supporter complaining about having to queue for so long because of all the rugby fans

hahaha classic!

I've never understood why some people bother with these things on the first morning and start queueing in person or on the phone - you can get your seat upto 5pm on Wednesday if a ST holder.

I was supposed to pop down there this evening but forgot. I only remembered when I went on Wigan's website and saw that you can buy online over e-tickets. I didn't even have to pay the £2 service charge! Bonus.

Just tried online myself but it says they are now not available online.

It mite be a personal thing or just because they would sooner get them early as the forcast for queueing isnt good with rain/wind.

A few problems this morning, the phone lines were overflowing to Ticketmaster, when I asked the chap for my own ST seats he said those seats were not for sale, I explained I know that , they are my ST seats, he said I would have to ring the ticket office, I explained that is what I had done. So had to keep trying until the call was answered by the ticket office at DW and not Ticketmaster, then as usual there was no problem.
So just a few problems for the club to sort out before the next game.

anyone know if this is possible:

grandparents can't make it.
me and the other half dont have ST this season.

can we buy two student tickets with the grandparents OAP tickets and benefit from the £6 savings?

i assume you can buy the OAP tickets as its same price as students. my mum has used my dads season ticket before for a ticket as hes over 60 so i dont see why not

hmm.....
might try it

The season ticket discount only applies when it's the season ticket holder using the tickets - nowt to prevent it if it's like-for-like, but I doubt you'd get away with getting the £3 off when buying students instead of OAP's.

Just to clear up the E-Ticketing situation, it seems it's a case of either-or in terms of season tickets or general sale, so after much to-ing and fro-ing with Ticketmaster Systems (who insist that it was the first time they've dealt with such a situation despite looking after plenty of other clubs!), it's been sorted that any season ticket holders can now purchase their seats online and even over the phone if diverted to the Ticketmaster call centre. Apologies for any problems that may have been caused - it is the first time the new E-Ticketing system has been in use for a game where season ticket holders need to claim their seat, so it has been a bit of a learning curve and hopefully now ironed out.

As a bit of an aside, there were nearly 750 phone calls today for only 5 telephone lines (over 100 of which were at 9.01am) so I think it's inevitable that there will be long queuing times and people diverted to Ticketmaster.

That's my point you don't need to queue (either in person or on the phone) if you wait a day or so.

I've noticed that a lot of Wiganers like to do two things:

1. Moan
2. Join queues they don't need to.

Uber Wiganers like to combine the two and moan about the length of queues they didn't need to join in the first place.

I got my tickets no problem!

A table for 10 cost me £1045 ...............no problem, in the 188bet lounge.

Brilliant.

but they might be on tv!
2 tickets please, cockle!

WEP...................
Fans rushed to secure their seats for Sunday night’s mouth-watering showdown (kick-off 6.45pm) when tickets went on sale yesterday.

Wigan have sold 4,000 tickets for their play-off showdown against Leeds.
......................................................
Surely yesterdays e-ticketing/phone farce made an impact on the actual figure sold. I just hope its not put too many people off buying later in the week.

I dont see why it would! Anyone who is put off because they couldnt get their season ticket seat within 2 mins of them going on sale despite having 3 days needs to have a look at themselves!!

Does the guy in the ticket office know how many have we sold up to now.

Yes, he does.
