The tickets I'd bought through the RFL last night? Well, they cancelled them as I'd emailed them enquiring whether if I was able to get better seats through my season ticket, would I be able to cancel the tickets I'd purchased with them and get a refund. I then thought, I'm best off ringing them as I'll be waiting all day for somebody to reply. When I rang, I was told that after purchasing, you are unable to cancel or get a refund, so told them to leave it as it is because I couldn't get tickets anyway as the Wigan ticket office was playing up. 2 hours later, I got an email saying that they had cancelled my tickets as a goodwill gesture!!! I was at the U19's GF, had to leave at HT as I still couldn't get tickets online, and thought I'd be best off just heading off to the ticket office! Not a happy bunny.

The eticketing is working now. You'll be able to get them overnight as a ST holder before they go on general sale.

Sunday morning e-ticketing showed up as general sale. Was supposed to be season ticket holders etc. until 12.
This after the Saturday fiasco.
For us, result is we have had to settle for worse tickets, right in the corner, since we could 'only' spend 2 hours trying on Saturday 11 till 1. By evening, all the best tickets had gone.
What's the point of having a season ticket, our five are asking?
Rubbish performance by the club and/or Ticketmaster. And the cheek to add £2 booking fee as well.

It's not the club but Ticketmaster that's at fault. They're serial offenders with this sort of "mad rush" event & their machines simply don't cope. Also (I've never rung them, but...) it seems their customer service is (way) offshore, so you'll never get rapid or satisfactory response. Personally I'd bring ticketing fully in house & then the club would be able to respond faster to issues & properly plan for temporary up scaling as required.

Wigan only have 1500 left. The RFL have opened the top tier of the north stand now as well due to demand.

It's looking like a great crowd which surprises me considering crowds seem to be down across the board.

I think fans have been tip toeing through the season like some of the teams.

The fans are still there, its just needs the right games to catch the imagination.

Im hoping next season will help get the regular season crowds up, i for one am very likely to get season tickets again next season after picking and choosing this time round.

I need to try and get my tickets tomorrow morning. Do you think my best chance would be to ring up at 9am (as I can't get down to the stadium)?

You can buy online now from Wigan.

Do you have a link? I can't seem to find it, and when I try and buy them from the RFL from any section of the stand it 'none of the prices you selected could be found'.

Looks like you can't be too picky if you want more than 2 together.

I only want 2 together

Ah, sorted it cheers pal. This site is better than RFL site.

PM'd you earlier J re 2 tickets in Area E138. Have you got sorted?

me neither...we went down mid afternoon and hardly any queue...we got 3 together exactly where we wanted them, no trouble.

Nearly all gone at the club now and a further 400 sent by the RFL for us to shift. Should be a sell out if Saints do their bit.

Wigan are now on to their third batch of tickets with the first two gone. Looking at the RFL seating plan there can't be much more then 2-3k left for the whole stadium.

Lets hope they do, McManus has been trying to drum up support because of poor ticket sales.

Because i bought tickets from Saints for the first ever derby game (Good Friday 2012) at Langtree Park Saints have my details and i have had several e-mails and text's from them urging me to buy tickets for the GF and urge them on . Think their sales are below their expectations .

Before certain people (you know who you are) jump to the wrong conclusion . I am not a closet Saint lol .

Every time I've been to a grand final featuring stains its seemed like their end has only been half full

Saints average attendance this season is 12,100. Wigan's is 14,100. At just 2,000 that's not a massive difference. Looked at another way Wigan might have 15% more fans.

Both sides one would expect, would have a similar amount of bandwagon merchants and once a season glory hunters

Don't forget the "anyone but Wiggin" so-called neutrals who'd support a Taliban 13 against us given the choice.

Looking at the RFL ticket site, our end is compeltely sold out but saints seem to be struggling in the upper tier of the west stand. I'm hoping it's a sell out but can't see it now.

Same with me!! Been getting texts!

Tweet from Saints this morning...

Grand Final tickets remain on sale from the club up until 12pm today. They then have to return to the RFL.

LOL and after Wigan are close to selling out their third allocation.

I fully expect there to be significantly more Wigan than Saints fans, don't understand it myself but a combination of previous experience and the expectation of defeat again seems to be stopping some Saints fans going.

Also, a lot of Saints fans (like me) bought from the RFL rather than directly from Saints due to general incompetence of the Saints ticket office.
