On the RL site i found out after a number of attempts that you need to login before you start searching - otherwise it crashes when you try and buy.

Ended up buying tickets behind the sticks in the away end .

Bit of help if possible.. Do Wigan offer carers tickets, looking to take my autistic step son to the grand final.. At Wire he pays a discount price and I receive a carers ticket as well foc.. Insure how it works at Wigan.. considering he plays for the Wigan LDRL team nothing has been mentioned about tickets to his dad who takes him training and the tournaments

Yes I think so, and that makes sense, ta. Given up now, anyway.

There are some £50 touchline seats on the club website at the minute, if that helps at all. You can’t pick a particular seat as we know but they’re available as things stand.

The words 'planning' and 'RFL' don't come hand in hand but I do wonder whether the small allocation initially given to Wigan was to drive other Wigan fans into the lower tier of the East stand which they know will be sparse.

Yes as you'd expect - there are seats all over the place now. How many fans won't return for a ticket after being unable to get one on Sunday?

It’s absolutely that I reckon. Do we know if tickets ever went on sale for the quadrant between the West and North stands? I’ve never seen any on sale on the RFL site and I don’t know if Wigan had any. It’ll be interesting to see on the night the Wigan end. All these issues and I’m sure sections in our end will be empty.

I've bought a ticket now (thanks Nicky), but I still don't know where it is, of course. System is a shambles, and Wigan fans have been treated very poorly. I was really tempted to wait until the last minute, when betcha there will be good seats going cheap, but for the sake of my peace of mind, I thought I'd better make sure of a ticket now.

I was so fed up, I had half a mind not to bother, and just spend a tenner or whatever on a NowTV pass, and watch in the comfort of my own home, but then I thought, don't cut off your nose to spite your face, it'll be a great occasion, Ian Lenagan leading the team out for the last time.

Aye, don’t miss it, regardless of the hassle. If we lift that trophy at 8pm, it’ll all be worth it.

Longer term, something really needs to give at the RFL. It’s one cock up after another. This approach of trying to force people in to sections of stadium, to give a good tv impression needs to stop. It’s getting on people nerves and many casual fans just won’t bother. Wigan I can give a bit more slack. I think the Latics administration hurt our ticketing operation and that’s something that’s understandable but does need sorting.

Re: GF WIgan given West stand : Tue Oct 10, 2023 12:37 pm  

£40 tickets have now shown up on the Wigan site, with the blocks noted as pretty much every block behind the sticks at our end. Where have they been before? nobody knows!
