Wigan match a sell out ? : Thu Apr 06, 2023 11:24 am  

We had approx. 10,700 at our home game against Hull ( despite the game on TV) and I reckon there was probably no more than 3-400 Hull fans in the HJ. I suspect Wigan will bring around 4,000 next week as the West is already showing up red on the booking display. Perhaps a full house for this game ?

Quite possible and I hope so. I'm sure the club will be releasing info soon about ticket sales.

I suspect they’ve just made West stand tickets available just to Wigan for now, rather than them being all sold. Wigan always travel well, and if they can do a number on Saints on Friday then I’d expect them to sell out their stand (or get pretty close). They usually get a smattering in the north too for people who don’t want to stand.

It should be close to a sell out though - I can’t go and I’m gutted to be missing out.

i dont know but we should be trying to capitalise on good form and the sell out at wigan saints.

could be a money spinner for all 3 clubs the next couple of weeks

There were a LOT of new fans near me in the East against Hull (as there have been at all games this season) - they seem to be really enjoying it but clearly haven't been fully initiated into the Warrington way of things just yet.

Last season I could sit (with my head in my hands, sobbing) anywhere I liked in the East - but this option has all but been eradicated 4 home games into the season. It's Paul Vaughan's fault I can no longer stretch out.

Wigan don’t travel well. They haven’t for years. Not like the 80s.
I expect 1000-1300 depending if Saints beat them or not.
Saints would have sold out our away end, and some.

Yes depending how well Wigan sell, we may get some of those back to sell to home fans if the demand in the South warrants it, the red blocks in the North & East too still have tickets available too.

We had 14,200 vs Saints in 2019, be good to beat that vs Wigan in a couple of weeks

Full house is 15300.
I can't see either match being that, but hope I am wrong.
It's the tv for me I'm afraid. At ~£80-100 a game I pick and chose - picking and chosing all of the games not on tv, but will go to the CC semi and final regardless of tv.

A large crowd/full house always gives a cracking atmosphere.

Just over 800 seat tickets left

How did you work this out? It there is just over 800 seated tickets left it is surely going to sell out.

The West stand probably won’t fill up though. It would be good to get 13-14k though, which is my estimate. The Red colour on the booking system may be a bit of a red herring.
