Not yet.

Does anyone know if the Club's bringing out any commemorative merchandise for the game? (Apart from the shirt).

Obviously if we win then there'll be things released, but either way you'd think it'd be a great money spinner.

That Dragon's squad is very strong, hopefully we will have everyone on deck but Richards, Lima & Finch.

The official Wigan site has published a "heading for a sell-out" story today, which claims the South and West stands are already sold out. Someone needs to pass this message on to the e-ticketing service at both Wigan and the RFL, 'cause if they've sold out, it must be letting me double-book seats in both of those stands.

Re: World Club Challenge Thread : Thu Feb 17, 2011 5:45 pm  

41 tickets left in the South stand.
282 tickets left in the West stand.
540 tickets left in the East stand.
1956 tickets left in the North stand.

2819 left in total (on Wigan eticket site).

As Millfan says, I am not sure why the club have stated the South and West have sold out?

I think that is an RFL press release with the club have just re-posted. Typical RFL Stuff really - say that it's selling out and the press and fans (twitter is showing this already) will all talk about this match being close to a sell out - some might go out and panic buy because of this etc etc.

They were releasing stuff about the unreserved areas at Cardiff being nearly sold out and claimed last year's Challenge Cup Final was sold out at the Super League launch last week. Now I have eyes and was at both of these events yet was surrounded on both occasions by many empty seats. Now maybe it's me and I need a good bath........draw your own conclusions.

My understanding is the match is far from a sell out but we shall see won't we.

What have you been told?

We must be around the 20k mark now, surely we can sell 4k in a week and a bit leading up to the game!
