I'd buy a ticket and would fly over to London for that if I would be offered one.
I disagree, I think £65 is quite reasonable to me.I'll apply but still think it's a bit of a piss take.

Considering the costs of admitting fans - stewarding, cleaners, sanitiser, food and drink sales staff, etc to cover 2000 people, the fact they think £65 is cost effective is a pleasant surprise for me. I was bracing for it to be higher. I did think some clubs may choose not to accept fans at all if the cost of staffing is close to, or exceeds what they can expect through ticket/food & drink/shop sales.
The other real piece of good news is that people who are chosen are excluded from future ballots so if you have trouble getting a ticket, your chances will gradually increase as the season goes on. That's a nice touch.
Yep that's definitely a fair way of doing it, in terms of the price my way of looking at it is that's what you'd usually pay and you're getting a far reduced experience. On the flip side you're getting an opportunity many aren't I suppose.
Doh, ????I live in an area of Wales called Rhondda Cynon Taff. All through the corona crisis this area has had the highest number of covid infections and the highest number of covid deaths.
In line with current guidelines local cinema is accepting bookings, all above board.
Every other row in each studio is not available to be booked.In the rows where seats can be booked you can book seats in blocks of two seats. Book two seats together ,then the next 4 seats remain empty. The rows in front and behind are empty. No masks except in public areas and toilets when entering or leaving and a one way system.
Limited snack and drinks can only be booked online.
This is INDOORS.
Surely to God far more than 2000 or 4000 could be accommodated in a 60,000+ stadium with OUTDOOR seating and a huge number of eating and drinking outlets.
So you put down a large deposit on your season ticket but they can't set that against the £65?I'll apply but still think it's a bit of a piss take.

I'm not a St holder but not sure I would go if I could. On one hand it's a NLD and it's nice just to have something to go out for. On the other hand it could be a shit atmosphere and I have sky so can watch at home.
I don't think they have mentioned chanting yet have they? Maybe being in that South Stand even spread out we could create some atmosphere still. It's like away day numbers which create a great atmosphere with everyone grouped together. It will be a great test of that single tier to amplify 2k fans chanting.
It's good to see a plan being put in place to get up to 22K safely into the stadium. Our stadium is better equipped than any other.
