Not a season ticket issue, but I ordered a junior ticket for my daughter for tomorrow's game at Huddersfield and it hasn't arrived. Ticket office closed, no pay on the gate information, if we go will she get in?? I've looked but can't find the information if it will be pay on the gate tomorrow so if anyone knows, it'll be appreciated.

From the Huddersfield Tickets thread:

In the event that tickets remain at the end of general sale, tickets will then be available on the day from the John Smith’s Stadium but a price increase of £4 will apply. John Smith’s Stadium is a cashless stadium.

I'm considering going myself, but haven't got a ticket. I'm prepared to pay the £4 Yorkshire Tax :lol: if necessary. Anyway, point is, it seems ticket office will be open tomorrow.

It is open and we got told we could pick ours up 2 hours before KO.Fortunately the missus got out ofwork to get ours from wigan.Seems a lot off hassle just to get tickets.Why dont every club just have one pay on the day turnstyle for every stand? Is thsat so complicated?Really buzzing for tomoz by the way and can see a massive wigan following

Thanks all,

I don't live anywhere near wigan so getting to the ticket office is more than troublesome depends and costly, so I depend on the post. Silly me thinking a week would be long enough to get a ticket delivered lol. Hopefully see you all later today.

I'm glad I didn't buy a ticket from the Wigan ticket office on Friday, I kinda meant to, but didn't get round to it. But then I got in for free anyway!

I have finally received our correct season tickets yesterday after several attempts. Unfortunately my wife's phone doesn't accept Google Wallet and so her's on my phone. Unlike my credit cards etc being separate, the tickets are in effect in a folder together. Will the ticket machine recognise each one if my wife goes first and then passes my phone back for me to go in? Does anyone know?

Yes it should do. We have done this with tickets on same phone wallet at away games a few times last year's grand final we passed phone for 7 different tickets not ideal but does work.

I have my wife’s season ticket on my iPhone as it doesn’t accept hers. I’ve had no problem tapping her in ahead of me in East Stand.

Thanks for your comments. I had visions of being turned away by some jobsworth.

How are ticket sales for the semi final was wondering if the ticket office fiasco has affected the numbers wanting to go? In his post match summary on Saturday Matty seemed to give a bit of a rallying call asking for as many fans as possible to make the trip
