East stand sold out? : Wed Feb 13, 2019 11:19 pm  

Son asked me to Get his girlfriend a ticket for Sunday in East Stand with us.
Don't use e-ticketing but thought I'd have a look to see if there's any near us, am I right in saying it's sold out?
Looks like there's about 150 ish south? 1500 West? 1000 North?

If that's how it works then that puts is 20k plus?

There was a communication yesterday that stated the East Stand only had a few tickets left (cant remember if I saw it on facebook or twitter).

Love how there’s a thread on the VT with bitter fans celebrating the fact we’re shifting cheap tickets for the North Stand (without them knowing it’s for the usual away end). When it’s been pointed out to them that sales are pretty good, it’s gone awfully quiet.

Funny that.

Only in RL will British fans bank on an event like the WCC failing just so they can have a half-minute's pleasure of smirking at the expense of a rival.

Truly pathetic.

Wigan are not selling cheap tickets is my answer to them, different selling agents are selling them cheap. any rugby fan would surely pay £14 to watch tedesco cronk keary tupou ect....

Absolutely
And some of our own fans are as guilty of joining in and putting the boot in on the club at every opportunity.

6 weeks ago there was threads going about how sales didn't look like they were going well, we were struggling etc. And as far as so could see there was no official evidence/report suggesting that?
Last week I pointed out that the Leeds attendance whilst not great was still as good/better than 50% of previous Leeds attendances.
If trying to be positive about something when there's no evidence to suggest I should be otherwise means I'm a happy clapper then so be it.
But some of our fans should realise that a lot of other fans slag our club off at every opportunity and don't need help in that area. And I believe that if we portray and push that perception it will affect Wigan fans and persuade them that things aren't well and all the knock on effects that brings.

Strange how positive news and messages are outweighed 5/1 by negativity go wn2 the evidence that is in front of us.

You definitely can't get 2 together in the East as I tried yesterday. Only the end blocks in the West too. Going to be a good crowd!

South can’t be far off selling out. Big media work done today by Wigan and the Roosters. Hopefully see most seats filled!

Can’t wait.

One worry I do have is in an interview with Faz on wigan tv earlier the guy doing the interview mentioned sales having gone past 16,000 and they seemed to be pushing hard for people to turn up. That was only filmed yesterday. The tickets maps would suggest well in advance of that have been sold but I wonder if they’re putting the cherry and white cordons at the bottom of the stands like they did for the Cronulla game.

Hopefully it was a slip of the tongue.

Lam said in the press conference today that 20k+ had been sold.
