We’ve been trying to buy the ‘Warrington Double Match Offer’ tickets for over a week now via the website link. Each time it says ‘ The number of tickets you have specified cannot be accommodated together at this price range or area…….’. EVEN IF WE ONLY TRY TO BUY 1 double offer ticket at a time and will not let us go to the checkout to purchase. HOWEVER there are clearly tickets available as it will allow us to go to the checkout to buy them for the individual matches…… FOR TWICE THE DOUBLE OFFER PRICE !! Not Happy as that would cost us £120 so I guess two of us aren’t going 🙁 PS before anyone calls me tight… we’ve got a season ticket to renew in the next week two 😉
