If you're at 1700 you will hardly be in ballots
If away allocations were 50% balloted, like one poster mentioned that’s how Leeds did it. If it was like that, something like 1800+ would be the cut off.
Can't really talk for friendlies or memberships because I don't have/havnt bought any. But away games have always been next day, sometimes they're on earlier or later but it's normally a day and the club say the same.
Prices for lounges are an overreach. I’d be surprised if they’re selling out for the less glamorous fixtures and expect they’ll be some sizeable price cuts later in the year. They’re a little bit hemmed in by the excessive seasonal pricing but might be able to justify it by big differentials for the Man Us and Liverpools etc.
Not sure how effective that will be for Bournemouth, Brentford, Fulham etc. Let’s see. I’m often wrong.
Agreed. There’s people with over 600 points more than the 1500 cut-off for the Arsenal game. Over a 3 year period that must be at least 40 more games attended, even after accounting for midweeks / cups etc. I understand there are people with special circumstances that prevented attendance and kids just getting old enough to go, but getting to 1500 points for most people was achievable
This is the issue with the pricing. We have priced out our fans of the future from working and middle class backgrounds. I appreciate Doug might be able to bank the money of Utd and Liverpool tourists etc. sitting in the home end for the glamour games but when considering the wider context, not all pounds banked are equal in the long run.
Equally, we all have life shit going on. Whenever someone brings out the life circumstances POV, I try to empathetic but in this context, what’s changed dramatically that now you can make all the Prem games? That’s what makes me sceptical.
If we do go down and tickets became available in the rest of the stadium, I suspect he will find fewer people in Club Coventry and Legends even if the prices there drop as some of those who did renew won’t want the same experience next time round.
Absolutely. The criticism I have this year is the lack of alternative provision for people who have been season ticket holders in these areas for years and given a choice as to whether to pay £1600 or £2000 plus or miss out
But build moment and they will sell. It’s easier to reduce prices for certain games once the season is under way than suddenly increase them.
I think we all do, especially having reached our season ticket limit. The problem with corporate they don’t always sit in their seat, football or rugby. Which can make it look like there are unsold seats when there isn’t.
