Wigan will be one of the cheapest Super League clubs to watch next season.
Despite a rise in season ticket costs, Warriors claim to offer their fans some of the best value for money in the business.
The club has unveiled details of their 2009 season ticket prices which will include 13 'benefits', including a free ticket to the fourth round Challenge Cup game and 50% off tickets to the 'Magic' weekend event in Edinburgh.

Club officials say prices will increase slightly, but argue season ticket holders gain from special benefits, including cash savings over match-by-match admission and a guaranteed ticket to every Super League game in the regular season at the JJB Stadium.

Warriors marketing director Simon Collinson said: "While we have had to raise season ticket prices slightly, they are still cheaper than the majority of other Super League clubs and with our package benefits they offer real value for money."

Wigan attracted a record core fan-base of 10,000 season ticket holders this year and hope to improve on that.
Current season ticket holders will receive their renewal
information through the post during the next few weeks, but new fans who are interested in purchasing season tickets can access more information by visiting wiganwarriors.com.

Sales start on Monday, September 1, from the JJB ticket office or by ringing 08716 633552.
Junior season tickets start at £42 and include entry into every home and away game while adult prices start at £169.

Existing season ticket holders will again be able to renew their seats until November 5 after which all seats will go on sale to the general public.
Warriors have also responded to the concerns by allowing fans to spread their payment over four instalments if they use the direct debit payment scheme.

I can see the Wiganers turning out in force again despite the prospect of another season of dissapointment. Wiganers would watch any thing in a cherry and white shirt.

its all very well saying about season tickets. but the club needs to atract walk in supporters too. most people nowadays work shifts of all varieties and with sky being able to create thursday fixtures then many time season tickets are not value. the attendances have dropped this year at wigan and super league. i dont see super league boasting like they have done every year since manipulating derby fixtures to give the impression that super league is getting stronger.
attendances down. a bad economic climate. prices up. performences down. not a whinge. just plain reality. thanks ian but dont you realise that you are competing with the blue half of wigan. and the reason the other teams prices need to be kept high is that they OWN THEIR OWN STADIUMS! we rent one.
