The Club could very well have waited until their normal time for issuing tickets, that could have been the last week in November.
By that time 100’s more could have booked travel thinking there would be no problems with tickets. By doing this now they will hopefully stop people booking a trip without a chance of getting a ticket.
Not every club has a 1,500 allocation of away tickets, it was mentioned many times on here that there were only 600 tickets.
Be happy for the ones that did get one and if you booked travel without knowing you had a ticket, who is to blame – The Club????
Big thumbs up for them thinking of the fans here, they have probably saved a lot of people a lot of money.
Come on Jay – I know you have to tow a bit of a party line but please tell me there is at least a hint of sarcasm in your post? This very site has announced travel offers well in advance of today and the the fact that flight prices were going up.
Did folk not realise we were only getting just over 600? Could have sworn that was common knowledge weeks ago. Why the complaining? I got up at 5 this morning and got in the queue. The same happens at ticketed events round the country when supply and demand cant meet. Do you complain in the January sales when the bargains go?Everyone organising travel knew the crack. Its first come first served. 450 were on sale this morning. You cant trust phonelines so get in the queue like most of us did (or get someone else to do it). Am sure the club will get more as Maribor will be out the competition in a month.
My instinct was to tell yourself to go fcuk yourself Roy for that smug response, but I’m a better man than that snd I know from your other posts on this site that you are too, so all I’m going to say is you need to be more empathetic to your fellow fans.
Sounds like a right fcking polava. :evil:
My mate was on the phone at 9, 12th in the queue and 30min later was 11th. He got syphoned off to Ticketmaster so went down to the ground and got there at 10.15 literally at the window as they sold out.
He heard though that some folks who were 37th in the queue got through fast and got tickets; he also heard that some folks pressed a different option on the phone menu and still got through to the ticket office.
The travel details thing was also farce. People rocking up with confirmed flights but no hotels getting turned away, yet anyone just mentioning Vital Latics got served no questions asked.
And then after the tickets sell out – lo and behold – 150 VIP tickets miraculously appear for c£500. Does that mean we actually only sold 500 or we actually received c800 and not the much lauded, record breaking sell out 642?? :evil:
This is a real tough one, but my overriding feeling is that it was a magical day spoilt by the football.
Yes, the conditions were torrid and yes we have bigger priorities, and yes a point and a clean sheet are, on reflection, a good outcome. But, as fans we paid a lot of money to travel and watch our team compete, and just like Bob in the early stages of the domestic cups I feel we have been disrespected.
Most folks I spoke to were bitterly disappointed – not by the result, nor the players, but the manner in which Coyle approached the game. In the 2 or 3 moments we actually played football we were great, but to only bring on a “creative” midfielder and a bona fide striker with 23 min to go was frustrating to say the least.
We have one fit striker – hence why Powell was played. Bringing Fortune on was a clear indication that Coyle wanted the game won.
As for a ‘creative’ midfielder..who, Watson? Gomez started and he is by far our most creative midfielder.
We have a squad and it is going to be used.[/quote]
What’s Dicko then if not a striker? And Gomez is creative but not in conditions like those, plus he doesn’t control a midfield which was what was missing. And I’m all for having a squad and using it, but not just to make up numbers.
Dicko in his 5 min cameo revealed why hes not been given any game timeWhat exactly was he supposed to do at that late stage with virtually no service from our ghost of a midfield? Reckon if he’d been shown the confidence by starting he’d have been more industrious than Powell, who didn’t break into a sweat all evening.

Safe trip to everyone lucky enough to witness yet another historic moment. Looking forward to seeing many of you there. Let’s make sure we sing our hearts out for all those not able to go.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Leicester 2-0 WAFC
Sign of things to come, one understandable eye on Europe or a kick up the backside?
Probably a better chance of us being in the bottom 4 before BobTick Tock
Give over.
He beat Chelsea at home in his first season with us – nothing to write home about.On a 14hr Russian train journey,statistics state 1 person is likely to be robbed at knifepoint, 1 person is likely to be robbed by a drug user, 1 person is going to be buggered forecably.I didn’t realise Man City fans were also travelling to Russia
Or there was the dyslexic blonde at Christmas who wrote a note Satan, and got everything she wantedAs opposed to the dyslexic devil worshipper that sold their soul to Santa…
Just seen this on the fixture list on official sitePLEASE NOTE THAT WIGAN ATHLETIC ADVISE SUPPORTERS NOT TO MAKE ANY TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS TO AWAY EUROPEAN GAMES UNTIL VENUES ARE CONFIRMED AND WHERE POSSIBLE TO TRAVEL WITH OFFICIAL TRAVEL PARTNERS
But they’re bound to say that aren’t they?
Covers their backs against complaining fans should there be any unforseen changes, and they’ll also be wanting to maximise whatever commercial arrangement they have with their “official” travel partners.
