Looks like the RFL have released tickets back to Wigan as:

170 (was 30) tickets left in the South stand.
396 (was 133) tickets left in the West stand.
670 (was 441) tickets left in the East stand.
1443 (was 1479) tickets left in the North stand.

2679 (was 2083) left in total (on Wigan eticket site).

159 South Stand
369 West Stand
640 East Stand
1397 North Stand

2565 tickets left in total. So around 2,500 tickets left to sell in six days. I think we can at least half that figure by Sunday. With any half decent marketing I think it is still capable of selling out.
At the moment the attendance will be around 21,500.

Il explain it as simply as i can for you, we want the game to sell out, but, if as you state it doesnt sell out because of other clubs not liking us then so be it. We want Wigan fans to to fill the ground

you should easily, i agree, but you never do! The attendance from wigan fans at the grand final was great, but why cant you follow that up now, in arguably a bigger game? thats surely a worry isnt it?

Our average attendance last year was one of the highest we have had, even including the glory years, so the amount of people watching Wigan isnt a concern. Grand finals always attract way more supporters than other games. A rough estimate was that we took 30000? to old trafford, over 20000 have been sold so far for Sunday, granted not all from Wigan. Maybe some dont want to pay or cant, for a ticket that is in some areas, nearly twice the price they normally are at the DW. Though i would be more than willing to pay for a WCC ticket every season

Your cup form is good, you should easily replicate that in the league, but you never do! Why can't you follow that up now, in arguably a bigger competition? That's surely a worry isn't it?

You took 30k to Wembley but had less than 10K HOME fans in the ground yesterday...thats surely a worry isnt it?

They would have had a lot less than 10,000 home fans because they were playing Hull K.R.

They usually bring half a million.

well well, seems ive caused a stir on here purely by sharing my opinion on why the RFL haven't sold enough!

as for this, we finished third in the league last year, and had a poor run in the playoffs, to even think you had a point there is laughable!
