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

Go onto the tickets website and click on each stand, available tickets are shown in green, count them.

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.

Red means limited availability.
All the seat areas areas are red - except the corners - but while N has 8 seats left, some others have 100+

This should sell out no problem. Only 15,000 on a Friday night.

The form Wire are in, Wigan off a good win should travel well (pretty much pack that stand out most years anyway bar covid years).

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.

Poor attempt.
Must do better next time.

Recent history backs up my post.
I sincerely hope Wigan return in numbers and I am wrong.
Our biggest attendances are almost always Saints and Widnes or when the club does the £1 deal for kids at the HJ

Widnes? Are you having a laugh

Re: Wigan match a sell out ? : Sat Apr 08, 2023 12:11 pm  

Well Widnes was our only ever sell out and I agree with Duckie about Wigan in recent years. I remember thinking last year that their contingent was rather poor considering they were nailed on to drill us (and duly obliged)…could’ve been a Thursday night mind, I’ve blocked it out. Saints have consistently filled that end in recent seasons due to loving coming and giving us a beating…..they love celebrating those victories wildly despite it being ‘our cup final’ apparently.

Re: Wigan match a sell out ? : Sat Apr 08, 2023 12:54 pm  

I think Widnes 2016 was 15k exactly wasn’t it? So now the capacity is 15,300 a sell out should be a record. I hope we can do it, but I’m just seeing a cost of living crisis that might affect away support a bit. At least for a couple of years.

Are season ticket holders counted even if they don’t turn up.

Well 6k turned up for the Saintd match yesterday.
Great weather and match time so I would be disappointed if they didn't get very close to filling the west stand against the league leaders rather than those closer to the relegation zone.....
