I agree with you Donny that in terms of value for money, football matches are pretty expensive, but as others have said the sad fact is that Wigan’s geographical location and economy means that the club are swimming against the tide to get bums on seats. Even £10 for the Crawley game saw fewer than 3000 home fans prepared to shell out, and the majority of them would have been Season Ticket holders. The club have two options – higher ST costs and lower matchday tickets, which is a gamble, as the increased ST price would put the cost out of reach of a chunk of the support, meaning that unless the team is flying, they will probably find something else to do on a Saturday afternoon. The other is to make the cost of a ST cheap, but alienate the casual fan. Its a fine line.
Maybe the mods should run a poll along the lines of:
Which option do you think will bring in the higher revenue over the season:
1. £375 Season Tickets and £20 pay per game.
2. £249 Season Tickets and £25 pay per game.
