Wigan Warriors • Re: Pricing/marketing

There may have been Stu , but i just went onto both sites and entered values as i could see them. There was the note on Saints saying that prices were held at 2021/2 price, but just looked like an early bird / renewal and new, where on Wigan i could see the renewal price / early bird and new st purchase

I know Wigan used to have the option to auto-enrol (they may still have) wiganand from memory that kicked in somewhere around Aug - Sept, with the option of direct debit payments as i have used that in the past

as it stands there isnt much difference between the 2 clubs if we just discuss Wigan and Saints, and as i mentioned the standing ST at Saints is really good value (if you are young enough to be able to stand for 80 mins and not feel like your legs and back are falling to pieces ). with an average ticket at less than 17.5 for a renewal

Wigan appear to have changed their approach slightly too in the last couple of years as both the East and West stands are a set price based on age and renewal status, whereas previously we used to have a similar pricing as you do now with the Gold, Silver and Bronze. I personally think that the G,S & B is slightly better as i wouldnt like to be paying 350 to be sat in the top corner of the end block in either the East or West, where you have factored that in and they are slightly cheaper

but as the conversation shows, and the information everyone is presenting that the clubs have a challenge to get it right and attract fans (old and new) to the game that we all love to watch. Pricing too low, and you may not get bigger numbers at games, but priced too high and you risk alienating fans as it costs too much
