Because if we sell all those there will still be tickets available in the North,South and East stands.
Back on topic. I would have thought that the fairest way to handle it would have been to give Wigan the full East Stand allocation, but with the proviso that any unsold tickets be returned to Saints one week prior to the game.
When people start talking about fairness, they are talking from a certain point of view. For me the fairest thing is the freemarket. Stick them on the website and let whoever wants to come buy them.
Giving a special allocation so early is not the norm, it's the exception to the norm. Most teams that come to Langtree Park will get their allocation after the games have been on the Saints Website for a few weeks.
Giving tickets to Wigan 6 weeks in advance is very unusaul. How early did Wigan get their tickets last year???
