don't like to give praise to saints but thought it was a good idea what they are doing regarding challenge cup final tickets if they get there,if you are a season tkt holder you fill a form in hand it in at the stadium and then if they win the semi you are guaranteed a ticket as they then process your form,why cant wigan do this

Saints marketing is garbage.
Last nights match was marketed as all ticket as they usually are v Wigan. Then end up being able to pay on the gate, again as usually happens.
I don't think Messrs Hogan, Collinson & Warburton need to learn anything from Saints about marketing.

Or pre match entertainment. I dont normally take much of an interest in what goes on on the pitch other than the game, but as i was on my own last night (

) I was watching and it made our fire works against Leeds look like the Haigh Hall Bomb fire Night display. Six 8 year olds jumping with flags, and a bloke kicking balls in the air.

We have done this the last couple of years as have Leeds. It saves having to queue or phone up and they post them out to you as well. We have found it a great time saving idea.

Regarding Lippy's post - You never put fireworks on when Saints come to your place. Also regarding our cheerleaders - we have different age groups and the troup as a whole keep winning European Championships - and World Championship medals. The weather sometimes puts paid to what you can actually perform on a wet pitch. Stop moaning - just because you lost.

Lets get this right, i, as a Wigan season ticket holder am not guaranteed a ticket should we beat Wire and get to wembley?

i think it must be coz our team has forgot how to get to the final for a number of years

This thread has quite clearly got nothing to do with marketing, more simple administration. Are you sure you have posted on the right one?

if we beat warrington it means you will either have to go to the dw stadium and queue up for maybe ages or spend a fortune trying to get through on the phone,the way saint do it means you dont have that bother as they sort your tkt out for you

At the request of Merseyside Police.

I think its abit disrespectful to Huddersfield TBH.

It makes sense for them to do this imo as it'll help with the rush between next week and the cup final if they do make it through.

I tell you what though dependant on who Saints have back, the Giants will give them a really tough time next week. They look like a side thats perfectly suited to tight knock out games because they're solid.

I do think Saints will 'just' edge it though.

It's called a 'What if' form not a 'when'. It makes no assumptions whatsoever as to who will win the semi.

It only gets processed should they win, partly for the purchasers convenience and partly I should imagine to save them having to cope with huge queues.

Caught one

Lets get the semi won first, Mick Hogan has already got things in place, there will be more than enough tickets for season ticket holders, who will have 3 days to contact the club in person or telephone

........providing that you are not holidaying in Spain at the time they go on sale.

At least you will get some sunshine

Going back to one of the earlier posts the pre match entertaiment was awfull for one of your biggest games of the season no singer no nothing just some cheerleaders getting tossed in the air.

Were they Male or Female??

Does anybody know how many tickets are left? I think I heard that the RFL have already sold 30,000 plus theres another 20,000 wembley ticket holders I think, so does that leave 40,000 tickets left in total that are then split between the two clubs?

PPHHHHEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank God I'm not then!!!!!!!!!!

instead of season ticket holders it should be peolpe who go to the semi who get the first tickets.

So what about someone who has a season ticket therefore been to every league game this season, but booked a summer holiday at Christmas last year and unfortunately misses the Semi Final?

Then someone who hasn't bothered with Wigan all season, stating that 'they're crap' suddenly jumps on the bandwagon but now they have found form and in a semi final they buy a ticket?

Who should get first dibbs on a Wembley ticket?

and then what about people like myself who can't make the semi final this weekend, but have had a season ticket for about 5 years and rarely missed a home game?

It should be the opposite of what you say, the people who go to see wigan week in week out should have first say. just so happens that a lot of those people will also attend the semi.
