A record number of tickets have sold in 24-hours with over 10,000 tickets purchased for the highly anticipated ‘Clash of the Champions’ as Super League Champions Wigan Warriors take on NRL Premiers Penrith Panthers at the DW Stadium next February.
Tickets went on sale at 9am on Wednesday 20th December to all supporters and Wigan Warriors are pleased to announce that over 10,000 tickets have already been sold in the first 24-hours of sales.
Four-time winners Wigan Warriors will be looking for a record-equalling fifth World Club Challenge title while Penrith will be looking to claim their first win in four attempts.
The ticketing platform for this fixture has been agreed upon in conjunction with Penrith Panthers and is similar to that used for the Challenge Cup Final in 2022.
Following on from previous supporter feedback, ensuring that season ticket holder priority for ticketed fixtures is on our ticketing roadmap for 2024. Unfortunately, it is not something that is possible for this fixture. We would like to thank all our loyal season ticket holders for their patience in this matter and assure you that all feedback is taken seriously and acted upon to ensure we are providing the best possible service that we can for all supporters.
Tickets for the 2024 Betfred World Club Challenge are now on sale online at wwrl.net/wcctickets.
Wigan have reminded fans: “Please note that this game is all reserved seating, including the North and South stands.
“To purchase tickets, all supporters will need to create an account. A £2 per ticket booking fee applies.”
Some fans have been critical of the way these tickets have been sold with some carers questioning how they get tickets without attending the ticket office who are not selling tickets for this game.
However, Wigan have a way around this and have a phone line for these fans which will actually save their fans from having to brave the winter cold.
Wigan stated: “For disabled/ambulant/carer tickets, please call 01942 311 111.”
The Warriors are looking to replicate the success of St Helens last year and make it the first time since 2007 and 2008 that consecutive English teams have won the World Club Challenge.
