Not yet,
By looks of it only the £45 ones have!
Hopefully the fa will learn allocations should be changed when and if a poorly supported club reach a final again!
Could you imagine how empty wembley would be at the charity shield if (god forbid) they beat us and get about 40,000 tickets!!!'

i would then asume they have sold less than the semi final 'cant work that one out' like eveyone the fa would have thought they would have sold more,all they had to do was release block to block from the centre behind the goal and they could have returned whats left, massive cock up between the fa and wigan
gmckennasell said:personally I think wigan supporters deserve a lot of credit , only 20 odd years ago they were non-league playing in front of 1500 fans , they play in a town consumed by rugby league , and 75% of football followers in the town walk about in Liverpool or yooonited replica shirts. They may only have a hard core support of 15,000 , but would nt it be far easier for these supporters to support more fashionable clubs a few miles away , they deserve respect not ridicule over their attendances , which other football club has increased their attendances ten-fold in the modern football era??
I'm with my Dad in 502, we really are in with the main group of Wigan fans, still could be worse (Millwall)!gmckennasell said:we have six tickets in block 503 , had a mate with 3 wigan season tickets and bought the £65 tickets on line , got them on the first day they were on sale , so we are probably amongst all the pie eaters , will have to behave ourselves .

Can they really throw 100s or even 1,000s of blues out ??
Anybody doing it ??
Was in the stokies end last time & got warned by a steward if they started a ruck with me .I would be the one getting slung out ???
A town of 80,000 with little support outside the boundries of Wigan and also a predominantly rugby town selling 20 odd thousand tickets ain't so badHung said:marco said:mcfc-mike said:Not yet,

If they sell less than for a semi final against Millwall and their morons, it truly does defy belief. I suppose it comes down to the size of their core support and the fact that Wigan is a rugby league town. It may also be cost related. Whatever the reason however, for a Premier League Club not to sell out a reduced allocation for an FA Cup Final is piss poor and shows what Wigan are up against in their efforts to stay in the Premier League.

How would I have to go about grabbing one off them if so, can't find much about nothing on their site :(
