Son asked me to Get his girlfriend a ticket for Sunday in East Stand with us.
Don't use e-ticketing but thought I'd have a look to see if there's any near us, am I right in saying it's sold out?
Looks like there's about 150 ish south? 1500 West? 1000 North?

If that's how it works then that puts is 20k plus?

Love how there’s a thread on the VT with bitter fans celebrating the fact we’re shifting cheap tickets for the North Stand (without them knowing it’s for the usual away end). When it’s been pointed out to them that sales are pretty good, it’s gone awfully quiet.

Funny that.

Only in RL will British fans bank on an event like the WCC failing just so they can have a half-minute's pleasure of smirking at the expense of a rival.

Truly pathetic.

Wigan are not selling cheap tickets is my answer to them, different selling agents are selling them cheap. any rugby fan would surely pay £14 to watch tedesco cronk keary tupou ect....

Absolutely
And some of our own fans are as guilty of joining in and putting the boot in on the club at every opportunity.

6 weeks ago there was threads going about how sales didn't look like they were going well, we were struggling etc. And as far as so could see there was no official evidence/report suggesting that?
Last week I pointed out that the Leeds attendance whilst not great was still as good/better than 50% of previous Leeds attendances.
If trying to be positive about something when there's no evidence to suggest I should be otherwise means I'm a happy clapper then so be it.
But some of our fans should realise that a lot of other fans slag our club off at every opportunity and don't need help in that area. And I believe that if we portray and push that perception it will affect Wigan fans and persuade them that things aren't well and all the knock on effects that brings.

Strange how positive news and messages are outweighed 5/1 by negativity go wn2 the evidence that is in front of us.

You definitely can't get 2 together in the East as I tried yesterday. Only the end blocks in the West too. Going to be a good crowd!

South can’t be far off selling out. Big media work done today by Wigan and the Roosters. Hopefully see most seats filled!

Can’t wait.

One worry I do have is in an interview with Faz on wigan tv earlier the guy doing the interview mentioned sales having gone past 16,000 and they seemed to be pushing hard for people to turn up. That was only filmed yesterday. The tickets maps would suggest well in advance of that have been sold but I wonder if they’re putting the cherry and white cordons at the bottom of the stands like they did for the Cronulla game.

Hopefully it was a slip of the tongue.

Lam said in the press conference today that 20k+ had been sold.

Was mentioned tonight that in advance of 20 000 at the media event. A clear update would be good though maybe the North stand numbers are not totally accounted for at this stage I think the club are only selling two sections in the North? The rest have been sold on offer sights.

Managed to get 6 tickets for the South Stand last night there weren't many left fast print out at home was great and no charge.

Yeah just heard that now which is pleasing.

I saw a clip of the Roosters vs Saints game at Langtree Park earlier and there must have been less then 15,000 there, so we’re not doing bad in the Grand scheme of the world club challenge. We used to travel over to Huddersfield for the Bradford WCC games in the past and I don’t recall them being full so the crowd already looks more then acceptable.

The weather isn’t playing ball though! It’s meant to be 14 degrees on Sunday. I was hoping we’d get below freezing.

Records say nearly 18k for saints against south's
21k 19k and 19k for Bradford.
Fair play to Leeds they took 3 games to elland road but from their first which was 33k their last was 27k so dropped 6k.
Their last 3 achieved 21/20/19k

So as I said on a previous thread 4/5 weeks ago when posters were getting on the negative side (once again without relating things to facts) that any Thing 19k plus would be very positive.
A lot of people are obsessed with the term "sell out".
If we had 15k it would be a sell out at Wolf's, butndisappointing at Wigan?
If we sell 24k but play in a 50k stadium people say it's disappointing.

Whilst I do think our average last year was a bit disappointing it still beat most of the attendances we had in 2000-2004 When we had Farrell/Robinson/lam/renouf/Newton/Dallas etc. etc.
I think getting back to 13k short term should be the aim - 14 -16k should be our mid to long term goal.
But the game itself needed to change to help with this, the first signs are there with the takoever and some of the rule changes etc. but it will take time.

Agree with this. Can see this happening against Catalans too at the Nou Camp. We could have a fantastic 40k crowd and many would be slagging us off for 50k empty seats. Yet a sell out of 40k in a smaller stadium would be hailed a massive success!

It’s always the same with the England games also.

It’s funny to think we took far more stick for our 11,200 crowd last week then Salford did for getting just over 3,000 or Wire for getting 10,500.

East stand sold out
South stand sold out
North almost there probably a 1000 left
West stand almost sold out same as North about a 1000

If we’ve had all 24,000 ish tickets on sale then there’s at least 22,000 gone by the looks of the ticket map. The East is sold, the South had 2 tickets last time I looked, there was about 150 tickets left in the South end of the West and about 400 in the North end and there were at most a 1,000 left in the North itself.

Looking forward to a good day round town tomorrow pre match and then a good atmosphere down at the game.

Pretty sure they will be blocking out sections but good sales nonetheless.

Although the South Stand is 'sold out' it won't be full as it is unreserved seating.

That was a minor game in the World Club 'series', not the World Club Challenge. The direct comparison would be with the Rabbitohs game in 2015, which sold out well in advance.

Why did they say "sold out when there was empty seats at the very ends of the stand
