Wigan Warriors to start selling season tickets

The new Super League campaign will start in March.

Despite the continued uncertainty on whether fans will be allowed into grounds then - and if so, how many - the Warriors hope to start selling season tickets for the 2021 campaign.

Many supporters have been in touch with the club about securing their seat for next season.

Wigan say the delay has not been due to Covid-19, but because the ticket office at the DW Stadium has been closed while the stadium company has been in administration.

A club statement reads: "The club have been planning at length for a series of different scenarios to try and facilitate the hundreds of queries we have already received from supporters who are keen to secure their seat for an exciting season ahead.

"However, despite willingness from all parties to make it happen, due to the continued closure of the DW Stadium Ticket Office as a result of the stadium management company being in administration, we have taken the decision not to go ahead with a backup plan of putting tickets on sale pre-Christmas via temporary contact points.

"We will instead look forward to working with the relevant parties to open sales via the usual channels that fans are familiar with using, following the Christmas and new year break.

"When sales commence, supporters who requested credit on file for the unused portion of their 2020 season ticket will have that automatically added to their customer record before sales begin, meaning that their price will be reduced by the equivalent of the ten games they weren’t able to see this year."

Fans are urged to look out for further "sales window updates" next month.
