Season Ticket Renewal Thread (Read first post)

[Hoopspur]

What makes you think there should be 17000 available now? About 35000 people have had a chance to buy, so I would have thought only another 5000 or so should be available to phase 8 people like me.

Because the club told us that it was selling circa 40k ST’s. I kind of thought that the premium/hospitality tickets would also be within this figure and not in addition. 40k ST’s plus 3k leaves roughly 17k+.

I don’t stand a chance of getting a cup final ticket in the future if it is 40k plus a huge number of the high priced tickets.

"We shall have approximately 39,750 existing Season Ticket holders selecting from a pool of more than 50,000 seats available within the new stadium bowl. We shall then go to our Season Ticket Waiting List to bring our total up to approximately 42,000"


Exact quote.

Oh FFS. Now I'm effing furious.

I'm not going to tag the poster, embrass them or cause an argument but I just agreed to spend £1,200 on the basis of that information. People should keep their damn mouths shut if they don't know. Not happy. One. Bit.

This map which clearly labels and explains which seats can be taken by away fans has been public for over a month. You wait until the morning you buy the ticket to choose your block? If you put 0% effort and research into buying a seat, then you deserve whatever you get. How can you have the brass neck to blame anyone else?

Why are 530 and 501 so unpopular? Just better elsewhere for the price?

They are £2200, not £1200. The 1882 seats are hardly selling anywhere.

Only a few of them. Most are £1,200.

Definitely slim pickins in Phase 8.

Quite. It’s like booking a holiday and asking some bloke down the pub whether the hotel looks nice. Then when it’s shite blaming the bloke down the pub.

Reaching D day this week as a mater is in Phase 8 and was just wondering on what people‘s thoughts on re sitting at the top of the south stand versus north stand. Me and one mate want the south stand atmosphere but obviously with all the lower parts gone and given that I don’t want to pay more than £1,000 it only really leaves sitting at the very top. The view looks good and after many seasons sitting in the first 20 rows of lower tiers it may be a good change but I was just wondering what other people’s views on and why they chose upper bits of the South rather than North.

I wouldn't expect it being next to the away fans to automatically be lively.

In Wembley, i'm next to the away fans and the atmosphere is worse than the other end (the designated "home end"). If there is a chant or any song, it usally comes from there. The only shouting from our side to the away fans is the usual "Come on then, think you're hard" stuff.

Occasionally in WHL I used to sit in the Park Lane in block 36 but again the atmosphere wasn't brilliant as it was always guests. Not everyone knew the songs or wanted to sing. They just wanted a seat and often block 36 had late availability if the away club returned some allocation. Also you are going to be next to the family section as well so I would assume that wouldn't help the atmosphere either.

I don't think the club can be any clearer about what they expect from the south - to generate the atmosphere. I expect most of the atmosphere will come from the lower half than the top, but hopefully with the "kop" idea, it will act like one big unit. Can only wait and see. Either way the south is going to be iconic. If I had to sit in the north, watching the south go crazy, it would hurt. I had to risk it. Not just the atmosphere, all the flagship bars are there. You can move around between stands but it helps being there already.

My group wanted to be in the south and everyone agreed that the seats near the top didn't look too bad, so really it was an easy decision.

Only the top 4 or 5 rows. The original brochure makes it looks like half, but it's misleading. In 530, rows 5-18 are £2200, 19-23 are £1200

And seats upwards of 963 which is a lot. Plus row 19 is quite far down even though it's close to the back in that particular area.

Something to bare in mind if you're thinking of going for £1200 tickets. This is a complete guess by me and I have zero evidence of this, but if you're going for £1200 tickets over £1000, i'd budget more for your cup games as well. It wouldn't surprise me if cup tickets could be £15-£20 more for each game. If you're stretching to afford £1200, the cup games could add up.

Domestic Cup ticket prices are agreed by both clubs and the track record has been to price them very competitively and at the same rate across the stadium. They struggled to get 50000 at Wembley at 10 and 15 per ticket. CL tickets will more likely be priced pro rata the season ticket price in my estimation.

Apologies if this has been covered previously but what are the prices in 501 and 530 for rows 18 and above? On the interactive can only see reference to the 1882 seats which finish at row 17....

Anyone know?

18 to 23 £1200, some of row 18 are 1882 seats at £2200.

Cheers (also just seen response by @punky a few replies above my question).

I agree. I’m next to away fans and it’s not great.

The only advantage of the North is more availability.

CL tickets?

There are a lot more than 5000 left available, maybe not a prices most want to pay but just in blocks 501 & 530 there are roughly 500 left in each block and some of the north upper have more .

I wish they would update the map of sales on the site. I already have my ticket so i cant see the actual sales when logging in but want to see them to help a mate overseas who is in the last phase tomorrow.

They do. I bought my ticket in Phase 3, but have been taking a look at it every now and then. Just do what you did when you bought your ticket and it's all up to date.
