What are peoples thoughts about the ticket prices for the Challenge Cup game vs North Wales Crusaders?

Adult - £15
Concession - £10
Under 16's - £3

This game was free last year but apprently discounted as an RFL initiative, so why cant the club follow suit? - The only answer I have had is that it doesnt make good business sense 'gave me a warm fuzzy wanted feeling inside'

Quite happy - got our two usual seats for £15. Why would you expect to get in for free? Nice of the RFL to provide the dela last year but I don't expect Wigan to lose money.

£15 each?

Given the situation over at odsal maybe it's best the lubs are charging for this game. It's also good for crusaders who will make money from the tie as I'm sure it's a 50/50 split on the takings in cup games. The free tickets was something the lower league sides were against as they didn't make any money. For me all SL sides should be away from home in the fourth round as a way of spreading the wealth

ST holders can get them for £10 prior to this weekend can't we?

Thats fine by me. I actually thought the free tickets was a really poor idea because the lower league clubs were missing out on big pay days that can keep them going.

Season ticket holders get a discount on top

Adults £10
Concessions £5
U16s free

Good value I think

I think the prices are fine, especially for season ticket holders. Don't understand why they've bothered with reserved seating though.

i think its great...........would be even greater if they gave you a voucher for priority entitlement for later rounds

Now that would be a good idea, take note

Tenner is spot on for ST holders.

Mind you, reading this forum is the first I've seen of it.

No, for both. We're season tocket holders - tenner for me, a fiver for my husband (over 60).

They have probably chosen reserved seating in case most ST holders attending want to sit in their usual seat. I was asked when buying tickets whether I wanted our usual seats. We are sitting where we always do (so my little nephew gets an unrestricted view) and many others may want to do the same. For example if they have a reserved seat low in the stand as they can't manage to walk up many steps.

I doubt the stands will be full so people can easily move around to empty seats once the game starts.

Yeh that's what I was meaning really, there are going to be that many free seats on both sides. Having reserved seats just means that groups of mates have to buy all their tickets together as opposed to them all just buying their own. Like you say it won't matter really as people will just move. I thought they'd have arranged it in the same way as the Lockers testimonial game, which had the same 2 stands closed as will be on Sunday but was unreserved. (and I'd expect a similar sized crowd tbh).

Good that they are reduced price but I would still prefer to be behind the sticks rather than in the East Stand.

A bit strange that it is reserved seating when they have closed the South Stand. Meaning South Stand season ticket holders, if they want to pre-buy, are likely to have poor seats and have to buy in groups instead of just getting their tickets whenever.

Considering that the East and West stands both have about 7500 seats in them and the likely level of attendance for the tie I doubt anyone will have trouble either sitting with their usual group or be stuck with poor seats (for whatever reason they would consider them poor). Neither stand is likely to be more than half full even if most people opt for tickets in the East stand (for example). People will easily be able to move around to find empty seats that suit them regardless of when they bought them or the seat number printed on their ticket.

The South stand is always unreserved seating anyway so there is no real difference for the South stand STHs. Whereas making the two stands unreserved would deny the STHs in those stands the option to take their usual seat. As I suggested in my earlier post some may want to have their usual seat for reasons such as mobility or for small children (one reason some STHs with children won't sit in the unreserved South stand each week is to get a guaranteed clear view for the kids).

What if your kids season ticket seat in the East is behind a 7 foot 2 brick house?

At least with a South ST you would be able to get up and move. Not that their are any "restricted" views as such in the DW.

if the 7' 2" is a wiganer he would move to let the kid see the game....... lol...we aint all ignorant stains followers.....

I'd move!

The kid that I take thinks that [ihe[/i is that 7 foot 2 brick outhouse. The only person he ever gets standing in front of him is Max and he got ordered to move on monday (by my nephew I must add). It would end up like when Burrow took on Lauaki a couple of years ago.

Just kindly ask Bilko to move elsewhere is he a giant but gentle

I hope the game represented value for money, evidently only 4100 thought so...

for anyone who payed the full £15 it was 83p a try. £10 was 55p a try and £5 was 27p a try

not bad value for money

Our try was well worth the £10!!! Cru Cru CRUSADERS!
