Following two busy days at the Ticket Office, the telephones have been opened today.

Wembley match tickets, coach travel (£37.50pp / £36.50per season ticket holder) and train travel (£56pp / £51.50 per season ticket holder) are available by phoning the Ticket Hotline on 0871 66-33-552. Please note, calls cost 10p per minute from a BT landline, calls from other operators may vary.

The DW Stadium Ticket Office have drafted staff to cover every incoming telephone line, however demand is still expected to be high and delays maybe likely. During this period Wigan Warriors thank fans for their patience.

Match tickets remain on sale to season ticket holders, lottery agents & Ancient & Loyal members on Wednesday. Tickets will go on general sale on Thursday.

When you saw it on the telly I was thinking that some local football teams would love to see their grounds looking as full on MOTD instead of empty stands, never mind gaps

I'm just glad nobody heeded the calls for the game to be switched to a bigger ground like the Reebok or else RL would have been humiliated again.

Seats not sold for a local derby just down the road with a 1300 capacity.

Jay capacity at HJ is 13,000 not 1,300

And TOM ‘They do tend to overcrowd the standing end’ – impossible my friend

There is an automatic cut-off on the turnstiles at the HJ – when capacity is reached at each side of the ground that entrance is shut down so that there is never any ‘overcrowding’, which is a criminal and prosecutable offence by the way

Wigvet-1300 was obviously a typo.

Still disappointing to see gaps.

Fantastic for the town to be back at Wembley.

Hopefully it'll inspire a new generation to get hooked on classic Wembley weekends, whether Wigan are theer or not. They've been thinnin' out in recent years and average age of the revellers has got noticeably higher. Be good to see more yoof.

Always liked it better when it was in spring though, 'stead of the August bank holiday with its guaranteed rail timetable cock up on the sunday.

Don't really know what Fireplace is pipin' about. Wigan and Leeds is dream draw for the RL, best two supported clubs etc.... It'll not be far off capacity , recession or not.

C'mon the Warriors!
