The North Stand– This is behind one of the goals and is normally dedicated to the away supporters. It is a single-tiered stand that can house over 5,000 fa...
Wigan Athletic aren’t exactly selling out their tickets every week, so fans may ask why the club makes it so difficult to understand their ticketing prices. Do they categorise their games? Do they charge more to sit in different parts of the ground? Who knows. They do seem to sit inside some sort of bracket although it is never clearly explained. H...

The Chairman’s Lounge is the ultra VIP option, but other than that, here are some details about the other offerings: 1.

Despite being the home of both a football and a rugby league club, there are no tours of the DW Stadium at the time of writing. That said, they have given tours on special occasions so you might catch one if you are very lucky. Equally there is no museum for either club that you can go and visit, so sorry about that.
Wigan’s footballing journey has always been a fascinating one. Not founded until 1932, the club was elected to the Football League in 1978 and spent eight seasons in the country’s top-flight from 2005 until 2013. Their final season in the Premier League was one of mixed emotions for their supporters, with the club winning the FA Cup for the first t...
