stevegrant Posted 2 January, 2013 Share Posted 2 January, 2013 Not surprised we've only taken the smaller allocation based on those prices, and a midweek game. Wigan away is 3 days later, which will be half the price, a Saturday 3pm kickoff, a new ground for most Saints fans and a much bigger game for us.

JRM Posted 2 January, 2013 Share Posted 2 January, 2013 I won't be going to Man Utd . can't wait for Wigan away , it will be £20 on a Saturday with 5000 away end massive relegation battle. hope we take loads up there for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View From The Top Posted 2 January, 2013 Share Posted 2 January, 2013 Wouldn't bother normally but we are using Corky's corporate season tickets so it's a freebie. I would imagine we'll sell them out easily enough as so many would never of been to OT before. Looking forward to Wigan far more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THink we might actually struggle to sell that many, at that price, midweek up north. Old Trafford will always be a draw for some, particularly those that haven't been before, but certainly anyone that wants a ticket will get one.

Hoping that Wigan tickets do not go on sale until after the Villa game is played so that one of the away games I have been to actually qualifies - Villa will be my 3rd and Wigan should be number 4) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrypward Posted 2 January, 2013 Share Posted 2 January, 2013 Why are we awarded loyalty points out of interest, if away tickets are based on number of matches attended? Does anybody here know how many points they have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be no problem in getting a ticket whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericofarabia Posted 2 January, 2013 Share Posted 2 January, 2013 You could have 1,000 tickets all to yourself and we still wouldn't be close to selling out Wigan. We should do a bit better than this motley effort from the bestest though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericofarabia Posted 2 January, 2013 Share Posted 2 January, 2013 I have planned my next leave to be back at end of Jan and will hopefully be able to beg borrow or steal a ticket for the Man U game and will defo be at the Wigan game - a 20 minute bus journey from my home in Leigh. It better not be bloody snowing/icey/flooding causing postponements that week !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

action man Posted 2 January, 2013 Share Posted 2 January, 2013 You could have 1,000 tickets all to yourself and we still wouldn't be close to selling out Wigan. Like For Visiting Supporters? Away fans are located in the North Stand at one end of the stadium, where up to 5,400 visiting supporters can be accommodated. The stadium is functional and the facilities adequate, but it just seems to lack something, to give it that memorable feeling. The view of the playing action and leg room are generally adequate. To the left of the away section is where the singing Wigan fans tend to congregate, who are aided by a drummer. On the concourse alcohol is available in the form of Tetleys and Carling. To try and bring some the order, there is a queuing system in force which is overseen by the stewards (plus if I remember correctly you could only buy two beers per person). Apart from the beer, I did enjoy one of the best meat and potato pies that I have had in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon we'll just about sell out united to daytrippers and have 2000 at Wigan due to it being cheap tickets and we've never played there. lots of us aiming to get in the 92 club very much looking forward to that one. man united away will be terrible. defeat with no atmosphere probably like Liverpool was .

Judging by the interest i'm already experiencing for ticket requests from the London Saints members, IMO we'll take more than 3,000 to Wigan due to the tickets being £20 and new ground, plus a vital relegation game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
