Wigan Away

3800/4500 sold. Looking like it won't make general sale again, sane as Preston. Imagine if we were good.

There could be a further allocation as rows A-F haven't been sold.

9 Bournemouth Lions making the trip. It will be interesting to see what the team looks like by then.

Should be going to this with a mate who lives in Newton-Le-Willows so will have to sit in the empty seats in the home end.

I presume this will be pay on the day unless Wigan are worried about some Villa ending up in the home end and making it all ticket? Anyone know as their website isn't clear really.

 Long time ago I know but I went to the December 2007 game there with no ticket. I bought one on the day but it required my addresss and postcode and they were not keen on selling to Brummies - they asked if I was a Villa fan. I avoided the question, said I had been visiting my girlfriend in Wilmslow and wanted to see the game. It helped that I could give my London address.

I assume if you use your mate’s address in Newton le Willows you will be fine- and let him do the talking!

I had to join Reading as a (free) member to get a ticket that season too. We won both games 2-1 so maybe I should spend more time behind enemy lines.

Ah interesting, just thought they might have  a cash turnstile available although guess that's changed since they moved up to the championship and get bigger away followings.

Might just get a ticket online or something to save the bother.

Unsurprisingly my inability to plan my life far enough in advance means I've missed out on a ticket for this. If anyone comes across a spare, let me know.

What's the logic in not selling the first 6 rows ?

Two tickets left according to the site

Sold Out.

Stupid that you used to get 5400 or something in that end and now they've cut it to 4500. Can see quite a few Villa going in the home ends.

Some clubs sell this way.  All clubs keep at least one if not 2 rows clear at the front.  However, some sell in blocks, keeping the front few rows back.  If all the blocks sell out, they then release the front rows for sale.

Stop a pitch invasion/surge if we score at that end perhaps?

I’ve heard that it’s due to a risk of overcrowding beneath the stand if it’s full to absolute capacity. In other words the concourse space isn’t big enough to cope with the number of people in the stand above.
