True, but it would cost me £295 to buy the seat next to you paying £235, and it costs my friend who was a bit later buying it £350.

Why not make all seats £235 as long as they are bought before the first home game, with the only perk for auto renewals being they get to retain their seat?


If I buy a train ticket on trainline for a train in 3 months time, then I will probably pay less than someone sat next to me that pays on the day.

Ultimately, if someone travels on that train every single day and has an annual pass then they'll have paid less for the seat next to us than the both of us.

Bloody rubbish trains!!!!!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was, and it was the interview with Ian Lenagan.

Match day and season tickets are still very reasonably priced.

The issue is not prices!

I’ll be interested to see if clubs like Leigh, Wire and HKR continue with the big pre match shows (and obviously KR have the fan village at one end) and then to compare their crowds to teams having similar seasons, but who don’t do a great deal pre match. Will enough people turn up and turn up early enough to make it sustainable and profitable?

And what me and a few others have pointed out is that thousands of people pay approx 6months early up front to take advantage of that.
Wigan get the money early and are guaranteed that 1million pound or so up front
It is a DISCOUNT For doing so

As stated now numerous times people can still set up the Auto Renewal, so there's no excuse, unless they don't have any intention in the first place.

Set Match day prices and non auto renewal at same price Pro rata as the auot renewal STs and people won't buy the STs, they'll just pick and choose.

Reduce tickets to that price and no way will an extra 5000 come through the gate to offset those reduced prices

With attendances going up in 2022, this has to be a good start to 2023 especially given the Cost of Living crisis issues.

Fantastic news - seems like a few other clubs have seen similar rises in sales. Potentially a World Cup effect or positivity/influence of IMG involvement (I'm sure they've had influence over the opening fixture entertainment). I did get the feeling that the standard/entertainment improved slightly in 2022 after a real low period across 2019-2021. Saints WCC win and increases broadcaster interest for 2024 and beyond is further good news. Maybe/hopefully the sport is at the beginning of an incline.

Re: Pricing/marketing : Thu Feb 23, 2023 7:06 pm  
We should see a reasonable rise in the average attendances this year with this news and also you’d imagine a crowd of at least 20k on Good Friday. I saw an announcement of a community area in the ground as well, which is in line with what I hoped we’d do in trying to get more of the local juniors that play the sport, in to the ground.

Let’s hope for a positive night tomorrow to kick things off.
