I'm so glad I get student discount! Definitely going in the terraced end though, is it behind the sticks or to one side? I've been before but can't recall where I was stood.

I honestly don't know why you charge away supporters so little - it constantly amazes me that our day/evening at the JJB is so cheap considering the facilities. Spent £20 x 3 to stand on an uncovered, weed-riddled concrete terrace at "Category A" Shedingley a couple of weeks ago (Yes, I know, Wakey fan - glass houses, etc.) but I just can't understand the financial rationale behind charging so much less than everyone else...

Because the identical stand opposite seats home supporters and charges the same. I suppose it would seem abit unfair to charge home supporters less than away supporters when both have exactly the same view but the fact we get penlised for having good away support should change that and we should start to play other clubs at their own game.
I mean charging £15-£16 was ok when we were getting the 1,000+ away fans turning up every week, but the away attendances have been dropping for years now. Only saints and wire bring the big away crowds to the JJB now.

I'd also add Hull KR to the list aswell, they probably bring the most over from Yorkshire.

Robbing barstaffs! Get yourselves through the concessions gate, these turnstyle operators dont really care at most grounds!
I forgot my student card usually works
A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain coach.

Rugby League has got to be careful with their ticket prices and the way it's going imo.
If you look at how expense football is and the way it's drove some fans away at certain grounds we can't afford to risk that happening in our game. IMO £20 is too much for a terraced ticket at any ground in superleague especially as it is a working class game.
Prices seem to have gone up from the £15 mark to the £20 mark very very quickly.
