#avfc #utv GMP Statement for Wigan Fixture .........................
Greater Manchester Police is asking Aston Villa fans not to travel without a ticket for the football match at Wigan this weekend.
The fixture between Wigan Athletic and Aston Villa on Sunday 19 May 2013 at the DW Stadium is due to kick off at 4pm and is an all ticket game.
Aston Villa has sold out its original allocation of 3,000 tickets and today (15/05/2013) a further 1500 has been made available to them. There will be no ticket sales available on the day. Those without a match ticket will not be able to get in to the stadium.
Superintendent Neil Evans said: “We are working closely with Aston Villa Football Club and are urging Aston Villa fans to make sure they do not travel to Wigan for the last game of the season without a ticket.
“While we understand this is a major game, supporters who turn up to the stadium without a ticket will not be allowed entry and no tickets will be available to buy on the day. Fans will no doubt be disappointed if they can’t get in so we would urge them not to make the journey without a ticket.”
