    50 quid for your seat in a box, nice

    1.7m and supposedly going to the Academy

    Possibly another thing they could've just let ST's holders have??

    Anyone looked at the online auction?

    Surprised to see some of the clubs history they're trying to flog

    I had a brief look.

    Worried I'd spend this months mortgage re-payment ;puzzled
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    oh and yes, they did say I could 'have' my seat... now they want £50 for it.

    and because I'm a fool I'll pay £50 for it.

    I read somewhere that the 100,000 Newham tickets will be for Academy, U21, and cup games.

    We have issued free tickets to Newham in the past, around 4 or 5 years ago I think, and I was offered one at work. They were being sold on to mates of mates of people who lived in or worked for Newham.

    We are allocating 3,000 to away fans but if they are not taken up, and segregation can be achieved, any residue will go on general sale.

    Ah that would make more sense IH ;thumbsup

    Oh lovely , free tickets being sold on at a nice little profit.

    The 3,000 is only 5%, if they ask for 10% we have to give it to them. Probably half or slightly more of the PL will only take 3,000 max (normally) however, I can see the novelty factor kicking in, we could see clubs that only took 2-3,000 asking for more?

    LFC, MUFC, THFC, CFC, AFC, MCFC and possibly a few others will take more especially as it's capped at 30 quid now.

    OK, 60,000 seats
    52,000 seats allocated to ST say the club
    Up to 6,000 for away fans (At reduced prices)
    leaves about 2,000 - less segregation for general sale ;hmm

    they appear to have acknowledged something with giving the fiver back for people on the waiting list.

    I hadn't heard about this - where did you read it? And does it mean if people still want to join the waiting list they only have to pay a fiver now?
    Oh, OK. Found it ;ok

    If you are already on the Season Ticket waiting list, you get a fiver off the Academy/Claret membership; and if you take out a membership, you can join the ST waiting list for a fiver. (in the article on the club site about membership)

    I don't think we have taken more than 3000 to any league games this season although we tend to sell out the vast majority of them. We didn't get allocated 6000 at the Emirates, where I think we would have sold out, or 4200 at Chelsea too.

    According to the Interwebby, PL clubs have to allocate 5% of seats to away fans, up to a max of 3,000.

    This is looking more and more like maths.

    I dont like maths.

    It's facts, suz.

    You don't mind a fact, do you? ;hmm

    If it takes a man and a half two and a half days to dig two holes, how long does it take one man to dig half a hole?

    Sorry, just re-read this.
    Is it

    "a man and a half, two and a half days...." or
    "a man, two and a half days...." or
    "a man, a half two and a half days (which would be 1 and a half days)...."

    1.875 days is my guess-timate ;biggrin

    Although the half man may not be doing much digging ;puzzled

    Mooj

    a man and a half, two and a half days
  • MoojorMoojor
    Is that a man and a child? Can half a man actually help dig a hole. Who sets these questions? ;)

    And yes, if the stadium is less than 30,000

    Which we won't be, therefore there is the option of the away team to take up to 6,000 tickets if they think they'll shift them, no?

    ;hmm No? I read that rule like this ...
    R.8. Unless otherwise agreed by the Board or between the Clubs,
    so we don't need to agree anything other than the minimum.

    and subject to Rule R.9
    ,

    Not sure what that is, will have to check
    each Home Club shall make available to its Visiting Club:R.8.1. 3,000 tickets
    Yup, that's 3000.

    or, if the capacity of the Home Club’s Stadium is less than 30,000,
    such number of tickets as is equal to 10 per cent. of its Stadium capacity; and,
    whether or not that allocation is taken up;     not relevant to us.
    R.8.2. tickets for a minimum of 10 per cent. of the Home Club’s disabled spectator
    accommodation.
    10% refers only to the proportion of the disabled spectator accomodation, not general tickets.


    So if they think they'll shift 6000, they can ask... but we don't have to give them that.
