Maybe they meant seats rather than people who would fill the seats

Should I take me stubs from the games then?

Sorry if I'm raking over old ground here. What's the capacity at Barrow?

I'm wondering if they'll be pay on the gate on day?

They'd be silly to make an announcement yet. IMO they'll see how presales progress then make an announcement nearer the time.

Went down at lunchtime expecting to get some and unfortunatly they'd all gone.

I'm on a waiting list so hopefully we'll manage to get some more. If not i'll have to make do with it on the radio with the 2 bbc games on the tele.

round 5 is free isnt it?

my lad went lunch time and they had gone......

a guy in lotto shop first thing said hed been queuing from 6, and the guy in front of him got 66 tickets.
its not breaking any rules i know, but i think if we get a similar situation again they should make it a limit of 4 per person with 4 season tickets, and make the lazy buggers who sent somebody else to get em, get off their bum and go queue up.

I was just thinking that, I definitely agree. Really, they should have thought of that for this time though, it's pretty obvious.

Somebody I know took 17 down and was there from around 6.30am. And I'm incredibly greatful! As I was working and would have had no chance of getting one otherwise. Why should the jobless get priority?

I didn't get one despite being on the phone for 45 mins.



Not overly happy about the 0871 number considering it was the only option because of work commitments.

If this happens again there has to be a limit on single person sales to multiple season tickets (4 tickets per person maximum is a decent limit). If people can't be d going for tickets or ringing for them, why should they get them over somebody that will?

i would have thought the jobless couldnt afford to go.

dont you think if they limited em there might be some left when you finished work??
anyway...most other folk are working as well, so it evens things up a bit.

my lads missed out by going at lunchtime after college.....and they havnt missed a game home or away (except cats) for 2 seasons.
is that fair?
had they been limited im confident there would have been tickets left at lunchtime and beyond.

exactly

One of the lucky ones, a Long day in work, but managed to get 4 over the phone at 9:30.

Give it a rest.

YOU HAVE BEEN DRAWN AWAY. Craven Park has an 'adequate' capacity. I can't believe the arrogance of some fans. What do you suggest we do? Make sure every Wigan season ticket holder gets a FREE ticket and turn away our own PAYING fans ??

You will probably get extra tickets in due course. And you'd better sell them ALL after all this bleating !

I don't think we've experienced anything like this before so it looks like the ticket office haven't been prepared for the huge response from the fans. They could've took some tips from some of the bigger PL clubs. I know that for most Liverpool games there is a limit on how many tickets any one individual can buy, therefore stopping one person practically buying up the whole allocation. I do think 4 per person would have been a good limit, but they should really have put more staff on to cope with the demands. I'm sure they must have as-and-whens who can come it at a moments notice.

I cant beleive the hysteria over free tickets !!! Bloody hell fire

Cant remember who said that Barrow should have been forced to switch the game but what a stupid statement. The world doesn't just revolve around the SL teams in the Challenge cup !

Why not have a drive to the Lakes on Sunday and go 'Buy' a ticket from the Barrow rugby shop. They are only £15.00 for the ground. A true supporter will make the trip



LA14 1QE Scott Street Barrow in Furness if you are using a TomTom



Im pretty sure that if they don't sell out you will be able to pay on the gate on the day - only problem may be that you get to the ground and it is full. I hope those of you who want a ticket get one.

Apart from dealing with Grand Finals, Challenge Cup Finals etc, not to mention the last game at Highbury (sold out with people still in the queue at the window after queuing overnight), the Man Utd 'championship' game etc etc etc?

Fact is, far too many loyal fans pay on the turnstiles at away fans so it'd be hugely unfair to give any sort of priority to those with a record of purchasing tickets for previous games. It is possible to do that, and has been used in the past for Latics games, but just not practical for as long as the majority of Super League grounds will let you pay on the gate.

You work at the ticket office don't you mate?

You heard if theres a chance of us getting anymore?

Don't know what the fuss is about! I got to JJB at bout 8:45am when the queue was quite large. I had forgotten my coat so was freezing and stood on the grass (why the people in front of me hadnt queued on th concrete is beyoned me!). I had to be in work by 9:30am at Robin Park across the road from the stadium. By 9:15 only 3 people had received their tickets so I got my mobile out, rang the stadium, pressed 3 to speak to an operator, got straight through and ordered my tickets! I'm going to pick them up on monday

No problem whatsoever but the people in the ticket office are soooooo slow - they didn't even have to take money off people!!

All roads lead to Barrow on April the 5th

And rightly so. Barrow couldn't organise a p1ss up in a brewery. Batley on the other hand....

will be sampling in The Albion then The Ironworks then to the match then to KFC then into town

Is there [ianything[/i you can't get free?






Somebody here got the last 5 available tickets

we had a good day out at barrow last year, park near the mcdonalds as it is free on the retail park, if you park further down youll be clamped. theres a pub just over the road but if you walk down the road away from ground theres a two for one carvery, not bad at all. they put a band on in the ground and were a decent bunch. make sure you get to the turnstyles early has they dont open very many

All depends on what capacity they have confirmed, I think.
