I didn't check Leeds I looked on the club sites whilst ours wasn't launched. St's Wire, Hull, wanted to check out Leeds but only found that you had to register t get a price I got told about Bradfut prices. The others I didn't bother looking at. I was only looking at the cheapest prices without any renewall discounts to try and get an idea of prices.

So how could ours be the most expensive before they were announced?

It looks like some of our "supporters" just like a moan without substance.

The "we're cheaper than the rest" argument has no substance, because nobody is arguing that we aren't cheap (one person that got his facts wrong). I swear some people like to read whatever they want rather than what is actually written. The argument that costs for the stadium have gone up has no substance either because our co-tenants managed to cut their prices (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... le-2148442). I believe they had a price freeze last year as well. And putting "Supporters" in quotations makes you look about 12.

So I'm being asked to buy 4 season tickets without any information as to:

The fixture list
Any indication that the league games will mean anything in terms of prize money
Any indication of what the end of season play off structure will be

Seems that my loyalty to the game is being tested out here.

Re: new season ticket prices and membership pack : Wed Oct 17, 2012 12:38 pm  

The fixture list is a tough issue though. No one has any idea about the number of sat/sun/mon KOs. This alone is a deal breaker for me re STs. If its not Friday it's unlikely to suit me personally so I'll be buying game by game as last season.

But the price of everything has gone up. The clubs food bill, petrol bill, heating bill, electricity bill, water bill, council tax, probably even the rent.

I'm not having a go at the club, i actually think season ticket is decent value for money, but I'm tired of hearing that argument in life generally. its a nice get out of jail card businesses use when they dont want to have to admit they're after a nice wedge.

also, as jinkin jimmy said, seems everything is going up but our wages. cant last.

Went to Asda today where I often buy two fresh chickens for £7. They have gone up to £8 which is an increase of about 14%. Four tins of tuna in oil are always £4 but today they were £5 which is a 25% increase. Considering this, I think that Wigan's season ticket is good value for money and the percentage increase is tiny in comparison. Wigan aren't brilliant but IL is doing a great job.

Thanks. Sounds good and not too many calories.
