I remember quite a few clubs raised their prices in the away end in the late 90s when we rolled into town - Fax certainly did and a couple of others too (Cas?).



Can you imagine what would have been said had the internet been more prominant back then? I imagine something akin to last night's outburst from some of the Wire faithful.

What a sound post.

But you can still get these cheap tickets as a Warrington fan though you know?



Enjoy the game on Saturday, hope we put up a fight for a change.

Which in the OP's world was probably illegal, the way he dared to subsidise the coach travel of Warrington fans and yet he didn't give me any brass towards my petrol. Disgrace I tell thee!

Ah I didn't realise you could buy them from your own ticket office for cheaper nowadays. I'm sure when they originally started doing it, you had to buy them from the Galpharm to get them cheaper, but any fans could buy them there (as I remember asking a pal who was passing to pop in and get me my tickets while he was there, to save me a few quid).



Just to clarify, I wasn't suggesting they were doing anything wrong, just using it as an example of how other clubs have done similar "offers" so that Mr. Illegal in the first post could see it wasn't exactly something new.

What about when our Warrington friend hears about these things they call 'season tickets'? Buying all your match tickets before the season at at reduced price - I hear most clubs do them. He'll be dropping off his perch!



As an end to this thread Bradford have extended this offer to people buying tickets from the [url=http://www.warringtonwolves.org/bulls-ticket-offer-to-wolves-fans-3484Warrington Wolves[/url Ticket office.



Well played to your club - showing forward thinking to the away fans as well as the home ones.

hahaha i know! I was considering asking him myself for petrol money for this weekend, dont know why i should have to pay full wack! Ha but thanks for the replies, I hope i've repaid some of the faith of us wire fans were all not Mr Illegals! And only a few of us talk sense





Looking forward to a good game on saturday though, i think its going to be very much like the cup game!

I look forward to lots of Warrington fans coming on to thank the club for their genorous offer.

Intelligence?

Wadski, you seem to be having a seperat debate, nobody has ever had an issue with discounted pre-purchase tickets, which is pretty standard practise.



A few of the Wire fans are acting like drama queens, and the ones who are banging on about it being illegal are probably spotty 16 year olds without a clue.



That said, it is clear that this offer was originally for the Bulls fans (no major issues with that - however feel it would be better if there were different stands to justify it), and there has been pressure for them to change this to include everybody.



I think their intentions were good in the first instance, however well don to them for reacting and realising that this could have had an adverse effect on the away support.

Howdo!



I was only commenting on the individual who made the original post - not the multitude of sensible fans who either took it on the chin or were proactive in getting the offer extended.



I also note he hasn't come back to retract his statement.

I know in football you can not charge different prices to different fans in the same location of the ground.



I'm not sure if this an FA rule or something from the Office of Fair Trading.

You can if it's a discount for "pre-buying" tickets rather than paying on the gate.
