Glad someone else thinks the same , am looking at blocks 202 or 203 upper sections anybody out there intending to stand in the upper sections of those blocks let me know and I will look elsewhere.
I’m in the South Upper. Think the view will be just as good as the north. I intend to sit too. I don’t see any reason why the whole of the south will be standing just because the lower part might be converted to that in the future.
I think it depends entirely on how quickly the lower part sells out. Let's say it's gone by the end of phase 4. Where are all the people in phases 5-8 who want to stand going to book?
The 1 point for going to home league games was only introduced this year. So that person would only have 125 + however many home league games we had before February this year (12ish?)
Precisely. Once those front rows are gone (which seems like a matter of time), people will just move further up - and possibly right towards the back as that's where the sub-£1000 seats are. I think that's going to cause a lot of conflict.
since they announced the ticket allocation and prices you have been a right bundle of joy
i really hope by the time it comes round to your phase you get a ticket you can afford and you become a little happier, because I know there are a lot of people out there that would dream of having a ticket, but can't afford it due to reasons beyond their control.
i got my usual ticket, sat in front of a computer watching it via a stream if i can ever get a decent fucking internet service
No, I think you're probably right. Hopefully you can get seats where you want them though! I think most of the sales have happened on the first day of the phases so with any luck you can get something near the middle of 528 or 529 which still has some availability now, or failing that at least not right at the back. Other ones you could maybe look at would be 502 or 503 in the West since they have the same price, view etc and are just as close to the Park Lane? Obviously not the tradition of the Shelf but might be better than the alternatives if they happen to have more availability once your phase rolls round.
I was a new ST holder from last year in a cheap seat at Wembley so it is likely to go up a lot for me, and yeah the Shelf Side being no more is a real shame
I get why they've done this but if the East Lower could've been a standing section too with somewhat cheaper tickets that would've been amazing - the standing would justify it not matching the West and I think you'd get a much better atmosphere and fewer people trying to stand in other areas, but alas that almost certainly doesn't make commercial sense.
Personally I think the view's actually better in the corners but that's a matter of taste.
