Wembley Season Ticket Prices

[nicdic]

Can someone answer a question for me?
My son (9 years old) is about 15k on the waiting list.
I am about 21K on the waiting list.
Should they offer my son a ST for Wembley, and I turn it down (on his behalf) does that mean he goes to the back of the list and so misses out on a ST at NWHL?

I don't think you'll go to the back of the list, but might not get offered one at NWHL.

Got this from the club;

Any current season ticket holder as of the end of the 2017/18 season, will be eligible to season ticket benefits for the 2018/19 season , including access to season tickets with the new Stadium, therefore, any Bronze member who accepts a season ticket at Wembley, for the 2017/18 season, will receive priority over a bronze member that declines the offer.

There are no guarantees that we will be able to offer all Bronze Members ,as of the beginning of the 2018/19 season, a season ticket within the new Stadium for the 2018/19 season.

So as expected, if you don't accept a season ticket at Wembley, you're not getting one in the new stadium.

Did anyone think that anything else would be the case?

It's a massive fuck you from the club to anyone who's been paying the extra membership fee for years and years that will find it hard to get to Wembley for every game next season.

pretty much the same boat that ST holders are in.

My one concern is that I am paying £695 for a place I don't enjoy watching football from, and I will not be happy when Levy starts selling tickets for £15 or so in an effort to fill the stadium and meaning that I will be in effect paying through the nose for an option on the new stadium.

Quite a good move to transplant everyone together into Wembley in order to keep the atmosphere up as some are probably uncomfortable singing/swearing near to people they are not familiar with so I get to sit with some of the lunatics I have been sitting next to for the last 17 years or so in the Paxton Lower, for one more season at least.

Be interesting to see what allocations away fans are going to get given.

Well, once all the ticket prices come out we probably will see that the club has reduced prices to fill the extra capacity at Wembley... just not for ST holders.

It's as if they are thinking of it as two different products:

1) the bottom bit of the stadium, with the best view, atmosphere and WHL-style prices.
2) the top bit full of fair weather fans, tourists, the priced-out, and wrongending opposition fans, with crap atmosphere and low prices

I think someone else suggested this would be the case as well, season tickets being in the lower tier and everyone else being given the opportunity of cheaper prices for the shit views in the upper tier. Ultimately it can't work like that.

We have something like 22,000/23,000 season ticket holders at the moment, plus a further 18,000 next season, so up to 41,000 season tickets next season. Also as of next season the Premier League rules dictate that the away allocation must include some pitch level seats, which would mean at least one or two blocks being given away to away fans.

The lower tier capacity at Wembley is 34,000, meaning some season ticket holders would be pushed further up into areas where the quality of the view is diminished and most likely for some games, much cheaper tickets are available to members or even the general public.

My son (8) and I will get the offer of a ST now, is it possible to buy an adult season ticket on my sons offer?

Could be worse, you could be having to pay 900 odd quid like me!

The point of a season ticket is that it gives the club guaranteed income, so I can see why they don't let people use stubhub (or any replacement) for non-sell outs - not sure that's going to change, and Wembley's size means that it won't happen often. If 65,000 people supposedly want season tickets (yeah, of course it's not really that many... but it's still a lot), I can't blame the club for not accommodating people who don't want to go to all the games.

The club know that if people don't like that, they don't have to buy a season ticket, someone else will.

That's the problem with football fans, if I can switch to the much-more-comfortable ground of criticising that lot down the road - if they really want #wengeroutfam they need to stop buying tickets rather than paying for plans and ad vans. If fans want change they need to organise and start arranging boycotts etc.... that might make clubs listen.

It will be great if all the tourists are kept up in the gods. All they do is take photos anyway. They never really contribute to the atmosphere.

If they didn't do that, how many people on the waiting list would decline a ST next season? Obviously it's a sales ploy for them to say if you get a ticket now you'll get one for NWHL

Not really.

It's not so much 'get one now and you'll get one for the new stadium' as 'if you don't get one now you won't get one for the new stadium'.

I think the issue is more if 18,000 members weren't being forced into buying season tickets for next season would attendances suffer as a result? I'm not convinced they would.

Stubhub question !!! Just got through on stubhub for two tickets for utd home and it took me through to the payment screen my credit card details and address.
Then a message of "oops something fumbled came up" has anyone else got this ? And why does that happen I'm gutted

They're also selling the middle tier as season tickets which takes it up to around 50,000, plus some of the best upper tier ones at the front and on the half-way line.

Means someone brought them before you I think. You have to be lightning quick

You don't think a large number of fans would think screw it, and wait a season to get a ticket?

gut wrenching mate, I made it to the payment submit and it went missing

Thats sucks mate - Ive been there. Tickets are not held for payment which is crazy. You should save your payment details on your account so when the tickets pop up you can be lightening fast all the way through payment.

If season tickets were kept to just existing holders for next season members would still go to most games, especially if we continue to challenge for the title.
