Dave T Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I remember when I went for the Olympic Stadium game over a decade ago and there was criticism in advance of lack of marketing. I'll never forget leaving our hotel in the morning and walking towards Ramblas where thousands upon thousands of Catalans fans in their colours had taken over the place, plus a very healthy amount of fans in Primrose and Blue. It was an amazing day. We got 18k for that, and that was at the Olympic Stadium (historic but on a different level). I'd be stunned if the baseline for this one wasn't 25k just due to the stadium factor, maybe 30k. If the marketing and FCBarcelona relationship is successful then we could push the 40k, which would be outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padge Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Catalan were invited to play there, they didn't ask to play there, so I would imagine the terms would be quite good.

Dr Tim Whatley Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Absolute banger of a kit they've brought out for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakstorm Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 A very smart looking kit and will contrast well with the Wigan Home kit (which I hope they wear for this match). Now for ticket sales, I'm not sure if the seats between 40 - 40 have been put on hold for Members, or have already been allocated to sponsors, traveling parties, etc, but for the Grandstand - 1st Central, and Grandstand - 2nd Central Lower, the only available seats are between the try-line to the 30 meters, with the first few rows in each selling well. Unsurprisingly the Grandstand - 2nd Central Upper has sold maybe just a handful of tickets, with people trying to buy lower down. Elsewhere in the ground is very much take your pick. Be interesting to see how sales go over the coming week(s) and if we start to see some significant movement of seats prior to kick off.

fighting irish Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Hope its a massive crowd (and I hope Catalan's win). I'm a Wigan fan but the french game could do with the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padge Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 You can't buy tickets on the Wigan website, just checked, they could have sold their initial allocation already. Lots of people going direct to Nou Camp web site for tickets from feedback I was getting today.

RLX111 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 According to Rousillion Bleu radio 6000 tickets already sold(apart from wigan) and 500 replica shirts sold so far in few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxmanc Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Right - I've dusted off the old spreadsheet and just wondering whether I need to subject myself to some serious counting. I can't make up my mind at the moment, but I've dipped my toe in the water with a partly-counted running total of: 451 514 As always, a conservative approach would be adopted, so that no assumption is made of completely sold blocks at this stage.

Pretty much we are above what they would have gotten at Brutus with a month to go. For Catalans and Super League crowd averages it is all positive from here.
