Well... I'm sat in the sunshine in Austria, drinking honey bourbon after a day on the snowboard There's too many pages to read through, and the ones I've tried have just confused me Can anyone tell me whether this new scheme has done anything to entice me back to owning a pass in N3 ? Cheers
I really do think for some it will be a brilliant deal for instance someone sitting in E10 who this season paid over £500 will now only pay half that around £252 however I think the difference between E10 and E6 at nearly £250 is way to much I know its a bit better view but not that much. For me I would probably pay the extra but the problem I will have if I stay were I am is my 17 year old daughter will now also be the same as me around £498 making it £1000 for the two of us, If nothing is done for teenagers then I will try and move how ever I have a feeling all those moving out of the upper west/south will get first choice so will we be left with the higher zone areas only.
I see 9 year olds as potential customers for life. Bars run happy hours and other incentives to bring in custom so why not football. Same with supermarket bargains. Subsidising kids for the start of their City supporting years seems a fair exchange to me. When they pay adult prices they in turn will be subsidising the next generations. They'll spend far more in future years helping subsidise children's seats then their parents ever got in paying cheap prices.
Rubbish for me and so much spin coming out the club. 6 of us sit together. I buy 3 tickets in West Upper, 1 adult & 2 senior for my parents - this season cost me £606 + £379 x 2 (£758) = £1364. If West Upper is closed, direct comparison will be £51 x 12 x 3 = £1836. Unlikely we will get 6 together in the lower west directly below us. I can see this being an almighty fail. My 3 tickets were on the line last year, another £472 is likely to be the straw this year. Great for those who can't afford season tickets at current price but this is not rewarding loyalty.
Everyone in the bar benefits from the Happy Hour, not just certain people (concessions). I think what they have done will bring customers in, however they will lose some in this process. Also, Kids don't benefit from Happy Hours in bars. Joking aside, I fully get your point and don't disagree with it, I just think the system of subsidising people is not as fair as not subsidising people. As much as I want to see lots of kids going to matches and becoming life long city fans, I don't really want to pay for it either.
If you go directly opposite to E5-E7 it would be £1,458, your problem there is just finding six seats together (unless there's some families in there who opt to move to the south). I'm not sure why W6-W7 are even showing on the plan, they're corporate seats and are over £1,000 each.
The bar uses the profits from the other hours to subsidise the happy hour. Its the same bar and the same drinks. Those who cannot attend during that time end up subsidising those that can. The 9 year old more than pays for their cheap seat when he or she buys their adult passes year after year.
Without kids providing future support the club is destined to die a slow death in front of ever dwindling crowds.
But if you went to BP as a kid then you enjoyed kids concessions that were subsidised by adults, in theory. Now it's your turn to contribute to kids prices so the next generation can get hooked.
what happens when all the people from west upper have moved? Will the cheaper seats be over subscribed for anyone else to move?
If i can get in the cheaper zones me and daughter will be enticed back. Otherwise just pick my games probably 10 maximum if a reasonable price. If neither is suitable then **** it
Put both ages as it was 'a while ago' & I couldn't remember - there were some very big 15 year old's in those days
Looks like there will be an extra four year old coming next season, who will probably never come. Amazing how leaving an empty seat will save the rest of us hundreds of pounds. I'll take that. Everyone loves empty seats.
'they estimate over 15%' so it a guess then ? & no other way of solving the problem ... or an excuse to implement another 'genius' plan?
What happens when the away team turns up with only 200 supporters, we open up the whole of the upper west stand to accommodate them. still it will be interesting when the like's of Millward visit again, would expect there will plenty of spare seats in the lower west mostly from the upper west.
Your right, I will of got subsidised tickets. Still don't make it fair (to some & maybe me) that people have to chip in for other peoples seats.
