I'd imagine they'd sell a lot of tickets. My missus is a stains fan and the combination of us playing poorly recently and them having a decent run of results is getting them all optimistic. Hopefully we can shut them up again!

I always expected us to get around 22k-23k for this game and maybe even sell out, its the speed of sales more than anything! Usually these announcements only come around 3 or 4 days before the game. Great stuff though I can't wait hopefully we'll see a rare home win !

Correct,
The last three Good Fridays at Wigan
2005 - 25,004
2007 - 24,028
2009 - 22,232

I very much doubt last years game or the game in 2009 had sold over 21k over a week before the game though.

We need to win these games to keep the people coming. Our average would be well up had we won infront of all these big crowds. Quins last year and warrington this year could be pretty harmful to the gates as we didn't play well in either.

1316 left in the Wigan ends.

1316 tickets left in wigan end a week before the game, sure to be heading for a sell out in our 3 stands and definatley so if we win tonight

Anyone know what attendance we'll have if all stands end up selling out? I know North and South can't sell every seat with it being unreserved.

I reckon the East Stand will sell out this weekend.
The West could go by midweek.
Could we end up with a situation that if Saints send any of their second allocation back we could end up with Wigan fans mixed in the North?

139 left in the entire East stand now kids...
946 left in the entire West...

Cant wait for the bleeting to start when this sells out early next week.

Can Leyther Matt confirm whether the NHS allocation in the East has been confirmed as sold or whether more tickets might be released to sale?

This should sell out comfortably. we do shift alot in the week before a game.

Got ours yesdi. Was told that in the East there was nothing and best was the 10 metre line in the West. There are five of us though.

More tickets may be released, though not many I'd imagine.

I'd very much doubt it.

Regarding this NHS allocation, how much did we sell them for and how many? Can't understand why we would arrange discounted tickets (assumed) on our biggest game of the season when we would sell at full price as a matter of course anyway!

754 left in the West.
93 (all single seats) left in the East, plus the small allocation of NHS tickets which may become available.

Plus whatever is left in the North.

Why do we seem to always have excessive numbers of single seats? Surely they can be sold better than they are to avoid this - realistically even if all the seats in the rest of the ground go, I would anticipate we're not going to sell more than half of the 90 odd single seats left as most people simply wont go to the rugby and sit on their own! This then ends up lost revenue to the club and 50/60 odd less on the crowd at the end of the day. I can understand the odd single seat will be inevitable but ninety bloody three?!?!?

It's been done for most of the big games in recent years and brings in a huge amount of sales that I'm not convinced would happen otherwise as a lot of them are to 'new' supporters.


It's a gradual process with gaps between season ticket holders when people don't renew etc. Not a lot that can be done about it (especially as 'pick your own seat' online often means people deliberately leave a gap).

Should be an awesome atmosphere, the stage is set for the players to show Madge how they intend to send him off.

I think/hope it is a full house

Only 86 seats left in the East stand and 121 have been sold in the last 24 hours so heading for a sell out in the East as well as south.

East Stand 1 47 left
East Stand 2 40 left
West Stand 1 228 left
West Stand 2 483 left

798 left in the Wigan ends.

Does anyone know how many saints have sold

What is capacity with unreserved seating?

Based on 24028 (last time we sold out in that situation), Saints would have sold over 3000 when Wigan announced they had sold over 21,000 based on what Wigan had left in their stands.

That was around 4 days ago so how many have shifted since then I've no idea (Wigan have shifted around another 600), hopefully the threat of a sell out will make those leaving it late opt in early and we'll take up 4500 but we still don't travel quite like we did a few years ago.
