24,000 season ticket holders approx. I'd say that 10% roughly won't buy tickets for various reasons. You also have half term finishing in a majority of schools that weekend, so families getting back from short breaks etc. This will free upto 9-10,000 tickets for members. I reckon most members with 3-4 games will get a ticket?
I'm a dad and I would understand. Get yours first then let him get his. You may go alone, you may go with him but sit separate from him. ...he may want a nice birthday/xmas pressie though (I would )
That is a good point actually. Although most people that have been to 7+ home games would either be season ticket holders or members anyway I'd have thought. Chap at the ticket office said they expect sales to reach the final day as well as mentioning they expect some new memberships which is why they mentioned it in the original release, so hopefully they've take that into account!
Is it really that many STH's? That only leaves around 5k for members/general sale each game. Thought it was closer to 21k. Also think 10% is optimistic as most that don't go will still buy for friends/family etc.
Gotta be done mate, I'm sure he understands What category you going to go for? (Though us members may be limited)
I had the opposite situation - my old man is eligible for a ticket well before me, and said he would wait to buy his until one for came available for me. I told him to have a word with himself and buy a ticket as soon as humanly possible
Just looking on the ticket sites, about £300 per ticket,do I line these guys pockets to give my eight year a day to remember - Quandary!
Think it was around 22-23 thousand before season started, but you'll also have the fans who recently bought the half season ticket?
I paid £705 in 2003. Told the wife that it had then been 27 years since our last FA Cup final so it worked out at £26/year. Her genuine response (she's more of a smart arse than me, honest) was, "Well it'll be another 27 years til you get there again, so that's £13.50/year - you better get that ticket." Top girl She was half way right!
If we can select our own seats then just select the second to last on a row and then you can bag the other seat later...in theory at least
How many new members who meet the criteria for games attended, that is. Won't be that many, because anyone who has attended 6 home games this season is likely to already be a member. I got a ticket for Cardiff as a member, probably went to about 6-8 games a season tops in those days. You'll be okay imo
Not sure mate, a lot of people didn't bother with membership I don't think. Can see why now, no benefit whatsover to buying it pre season. I'm not confident with my 6 at all. Guess I'll have to wait and see
So I've been offered a ticket... 2 issues: - It's the best part of 300 quid. - It's United end. Will probably hold out and risk it
