I asked them last week if they were getting anymore reserve.

"We sold all the reserved tickets and the RFL aren't sending anymore"

If true and they sent another batch of reserved its just another example of a brakdown of communcations bewteen the RFL and our ticket office.

there are some fanatical rugby league supporters

Wigan have sold 1900 - which I'm told is by far the best of any club.

Note that the RFL have been selling tickets themselves.

Should also be noted tickets are now no longer on sale at the JJB.

1900



Jeez i'm expecting really poor crowds if thats the best even if the RFL have been selling them.

Still 1900's about the same as we sold for the 2002 cup final and that turned out okay

How many tickets did Wigan sell last year approximately?

They've not included Hull KR in that. They've sold 4.2 million.

I have no idea but we certainly did not have as many as some teams last year, yet Im told we have always been the best represented club at the event and are due to be this year.

Is that all

Some of them have started to queue around the ground already.

Publicity has been low

I thought HKR would take more then that

It was so funny last year at millenium magic they were convinced they took the most fans by thousands but all their fans were simply sat in the same place making it look like they had more.

They came to our place last year, filling around 1/4 to a third of the north stand and claimed on here they brought 5000 even though the stand holds 5000 and someone had a picture of the amount of support they had, but they were having none of it.

Oh! This complicates things. Should I just buy a lower tier unreserved off the MM site?

I suggest so yes

You can pay on the day.

This simplifies things. Although I may buy a ticket to be sure we get to sit with Wiganers.

Thanks all.

To be fair, its just another away game, people sometimes get confused with thinking the MM is like a cup final.

Each club should be looking to take around 3000.

The RFL are also giving out freebies, we have been given 20 free weekend tickets for playing in the tag tournament on Saturday morning.

1900 is very low i know about the credit crunch but if we have sold that many what have other clubs sold.

Hold on a sec, I bought our tickets through the JJB ticket office so that we would be sat with Wiganers and we are in the East Stand.

It even says Wigan Warriors on the ticket.

can see about 3000 wiganers being there after the day trips are travelling up. anyone know how many day trip coaches are going?

Ours are for the east stand as well, are you in reserved seating?

Same here and yes.

we will probably have the corner close to the east stand if this is the case, they will probably go with a similar seating plan to cardiff.

I'm in the East stand reserved seating too.

Yes.
