The Warriors know for sure that one of their 12 scheduled home games won't take place at the DW Stadium.

But there is uncertainty about what restrictions will be in place for their other matches at home.

The RFL is keen to take part in pilot events for the return of spectators as part of the Government's Event Research Programme from April.

The Government's 'road map' plan allows for a limited crowd of around 6,200 at the DW Stadium from May 17 with the hope of a further relaxation of restrictions in June.

Wigan have home games against Castleford and Hull FC at the end of April and their next is against Hull KR in mid-June.

The club say buying a season ticket "could well be the only way to see a home game this year depending on the combination of sales and game-by-game capacities".

For games where demand exceeds supply, the Warriors expect to have to run ballots and say they "will do everything within our power to try and ensure a fair distribution of tickets to every season ticket holder over the course of the season".

They have also brought in the option of carrying over the value of up to six games into 2022 if a fan can’t be admitted due to restrictions.

Prices have been cut to recognise the likely disruption, as well as fans' support last year, and simplified to 'sideline' or 'behind the post' prices.

Season tickets for children aged seven and below are free. Junior (eight to 17) are £32, youth (18-21) and young adults (22-24) from £132 and £140 respectively, with seniors from £142 and adults from £207. The most expensive is £230 adult ticket for a sideline view.

All season tickets are discounted if they are auto renewed. Season tickets go on sale from Monday from the club's website or by calling 01942 762875.
