Season Ticket Renewal Thread (Read first post)

[cliff jones]

As said i’m Pretty sure that 4.3k for local residents that weren’t taken went to the waiting list. So it was probably something like 6-7 k that went to the waiting list which means uptake hasn’t been bad at all . Ultimately we will sell 47k ST plus 8k premium packages.

I don' think the figure can be as high as that, or the Club would want it that high- that would leave too few tickets for members (after factoring in away fans). But the fact remains Levy's prices are too high, when they don't need to be, given income from other sources, and a few false moves in the market this summer would mean they are not proportionate to the product on the pitch. I'm more interested in the football than the wifi.

According to SSC the 5k were included in the 42k. Which means 8-9 k should got to members which is good news for some.

Ref the waiting list was it not the club who put bronze members on the list rather than those members asking to be on it. It looks good when the club can boast of 50k plus on the list but the reality is somewhat different.

So you are coys500 over there. Good to know.

Yes but the club muddied the water by giving Bronze membership extra perks, such that the true length of the list wasn't known.

Turns out not that many want to commit - and at these prices it's hard to blame them.

If we underperform this coming season I think it'll be easy to get a ST for subsequent season(s) without a wait.

And then we'll have high prices and empty seats. Not ideal.

 

[Graysonti]

The prices are too high

It’s ridiculous pricing for a game of football, crushed floors or not.

My 5yr old has just been offered a season ticket but there are no bloody seats close by to where I am sitting and the only option is to move up into the gods. Plenty of single seats all over however. What a joke. Why they are holding back seats for members in this type of scenario is beyond me.

Would you like my address as well ?

Have you spoken to the ticket office? If not then it is worth a try as they were very helpful in moving us earlier in the week and may be able to sort you out if you call them (0344 844 0102 - option 2)

So I'm in the 50000ish and got offered a season ticket today. Fully expected to be waiting years for that

If they have got to 50000 looks like not going to sell out on season tickets then as they are priced too high, I did renew but only because I get half price. The club saying that you can't compare pricing to WHL because of all the extra experience you get is just nonsense. I am going purely to see a football match , if I want to eat I will go to a restaurant ( you can get a Michelin 3 course set lunch in London for £30 , bet they can't match that in the fancy parts of the stadium ) , if I want to drink I'll go to a pub, didn't buy a single thing inside Wembley so certainly do not need all these upmarket extras that have increased ticket prices.

Someone on coys who was 40,000 on the list was offered one yesterday. My son is at 51,000 so if it goes down that low then I’ll have to make a decision. If I don’t get one when will I get the chance again, that’s the question. He’s two though so not exactly ready to go there anyway.

Looks according to some posts that they are down into the 50k's on the list so in reality there is no waiting list , anyone joining One Hotpur+ at the moment looks as they could be offered a ST straight away , might as well hold on.

hopefully the restaurants and bars will be used by enough people not to miss the ones that might be doing it because the ST is so dear, because if the facilities don't get used there might be a bigger increase the following season.

with the prices increase as has been mentioned numerous times, the only stand not to have had a big increase is the West Stand, yet they have been over paying for decades compared to everywhere else. Also I believe that ST prices have had quite a few freezes over the time.

I would be really interested to know what people really think the prices per stand should of been, and whether they would be the 1st to moan that we don't make any signings at all, and the likes of Lloris, Jan, Eriksen, Deli and others (not going to mention Kane, as I believe he would of been happy to sign a new deal if he had to for less), decided to move on due to wages. if every ticket was £100 less for example, people would of been happier, but still moaned because the West Stand was paying so much less than previous.

I think we all knew that increases were inevitable to pay for the stadium and it looks as they have been priced at just about the limit that fans will accept considering how far they seem to be going down the " waiting list ". Some of the rear upper have lower prices but nearly a thousand pounds for the rear of blocks like 302 & 303 in SS who will have some of the most distant views seems a lot to pay.

Have to see what single match prices are , I think we will still under price the Woolwich , last season for a cat. A game upper centre behind goal it's was a staggering £90 at the Woolwich, have to see what we are going to charge. I know we need to pay the wages to keep the likes of Christian so I will probably be tempted by the beer in the craft beer tap room.

In reality we had to be in line with Arsenal. It’s gonna be a better stadium and the product on the pitch is better. Would really have made very little business sense apart from goodwill to have been significantly cheaper than them.

I'd not go down that route though, because unfortunately they built theirs on being quite successful and had Chelsea or Man C not been bought out no one knows what will of continued at the library. I also believe they have, and have always had a lot of cup matches tied into their prices.

We're not in line with Arsenal though, we're significantly more expensive.

The problem is that going to 19 matches individually has to be at least as expensive as the season ticket, which leave them very little room to manuever. Compared to us, Arsenal have much higher individual match prices for Cat A, but much lower for Cat C. We could do the same, but there'd still be a significant backlash.

This ends the myth of the 60k ST waiting list...
