That's me not bothering then and as such a good £40 they've lost (me and those I was taking).
Couldn't make a decision until match day due to circumstances - something I would expect to be able to do for a friendly.

See you all v Hudds then in a few weeks.

So their isn't pay on the gate?

Only had one ticket office open v fax and leigh but.........

Salford City Reds Rugby League Club

Said we'd report back on ticket office arrangements for Wigan today, so here goes...

After assessing the Leigh game, the following procedure is now in place. All three ticket offices will be open - the main West Stand ticket office, and the satellite ticket offices in the South and North Stands.

The South and North stand ticket offices will be selling for themselves AND unreserved seating in the East Stand, West Stand ticket office is for purchasing seats in the West Stand and for collecting online orders that weren't either posted or ordered as e-tickets.

This information will be signposted to assist supporters to know which ticket office to visit. It is expected that this will significantly reduce queuing time. It is still advised to buy in advance either online at reds.co.uk or in person from the Stadium Box Office to ensure the speediest possible entry to the stadium. Stadium Box Office is open 9am to 10pm weekdays and 9am to 5pm weekends.

I think you can print tickets yourself if you order on the Salford website so anybody in doubt could do that rather than queue.

Can you pay on the turnstile though?

No, Salford have requested this, but the stadium management company are in charge of ticketing, and refuse to allow it.

Read a few things about this management company being in charge at the stadium.
Sounds like SCRRLFC have pulled a good one here. Problems a plenty heading their way

My dad is going mad!

£1.50 booking fee £1.75 Administration fee, he only wants to pre-order his tickets and pick them up on arrival, but there's still charges? What the f**k.

Sounds like robbery, one may be added when the tickets are being posted, understandable, Booking fee and Administration fee, there both the same ... No other Club does anything of the sort.

And £5 for disabled parking.

It shouldn't be mate, if you've got a blue badge. maybe get in touch with the club on either their facebook site [urlhttps://www.facebook.com/salfordcityreds[/url or phone the club on 0161 736 6564

Eccles Amateur Rugby League Club will be opening their car park for all home & away fans for the new Salford City Stadium. We are based just a 10/15 minute walk away from the new stadium (nearer to the ground than Barton Airport & Makro!). We will be charging £3 per car, and will offer pre-match food & drinks. For directions, check out our website at www.ecclesrugbyleague.co.uk.

does anyone know what stand wigan fans will be in for this game?

North. Standing behind the sticks.

You have been allocated the north ( standing ) stand, so wrap up well, it will be very cold as you have the prevailing wind right in your face

Seating will be available in both the west ( the monster one ) and the east ( Lego ) stand

The small ( 2 windows ) sattelite ticket office will be open for cash sales only, it is located at the corner of the north and west stands

have you tried booking for a concert or cinema lately? Welcome to the real world pal

Got our tickets from Wigan today.

Saves us queuing tomorrow if it is a shambles.

Sorry to go on about this but if it helps anyone at all:-

You cannot pay cash on the turnstile.
You must buy a ticket from the ticket office ( no booking fee) or online and print off (booking fee)
If you buy a ticket at the ground it is CASH ONLY.

Remember that Salford Rugby Club do not own the stadium and have no control over the ticket office, or the staff who work there. They do not employ the stewards or make a profit from the concession stands within the ground.

Fingers crossed things go smoothly with what is likley to be a much bigger crowd!!

Just heard you have to get a ticket in advance if you want to use the club car park. Are they doing their best to try and make sure fans don't show up?

That just gives the impression that it will be chaos outside the car park when most people will arrive expecting (rightly) to pay on entry.
If it all goes wrong then fans will really be put off going to future games.
Let's hope it's "All right on the night"!

Didn't realise it was cash only at the ticket offices as well!

It's a farce that just gets worse.

I feel for the Salford people in all this.

yep, and you also have to pay a 50p booking fee for the privilege, thats if you print it off yourself. otherwise its more.

And Salford reckon they need 8000 per home game to break even.
Best of luck to them, they're sure going to need it after all this.

The North Stand ticket office is right next to the turnstiles - it shouldn't be tricky getting in unless you can only get there right at the last minute. At the two games I've been to so far at the ground, there's hardly anyone queueing at the satellite ticket offices, they all go to the big one on the main stand side because it's the first one they see.

No. 8000 average will supposedly allow the club to spend the full salary cap.

Can't wait to read all the moaning on here later !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All of the stands by my reckoning. The away end only holds around 2000 if that.You'll out number our lot by 3-1 easy.
