Attendance, a question

Post by FROM A TO B »

2 posts on the official site regarding yesterday's game.

Post 1 stating:
Less than 1,750 tickets remain for Wigan fans at this afternoon's massive local derby against St Helens at the DW Stadium, with the TIcket Office opening at 12noon

With our 3 stands,that equates to 19,656 tickets sold as of Sunday morning.

Post 2 stating:
Wigan hit back in the second half and almost grabbed victory from the jaws of defeat in front of 20,498 at the DW Stadium.

I can accept that some Stains Fans may have bought tickets for the East or West, butthis means that there were only 842 in the away end??????

Is it a typo error in one of the reports??????

The capacity is now around 24k for a non all ticket game.

Around 18600 home seats are available for a non all ticket game.

There were 1k+ seats empty due to the 10% unallocated seating rule.

1k unsold tickets in the Wigan end.

2k unsold tickets in the Saints end.

= 20k

the ground capacity is 25314, but the 10% rule for the south stand is inforce due to it being unreserved seating, stains only brought around 3500 in the north so the 20400sh is about right
