ToonTastic Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Does anyone have details of the seating categories ? I'm curious how much my ticket will be next season as I'm in my final year in the cheap seats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonTastic Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I'm in Leazes. I was assuming that but I'd seen an old map of the ground which suggested I was in cat 1 seats which was like £800 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) Managed to sort 5 x ST's for next year. Was on the phone for over 3 hours in the queue. The box office staff member said they are predicting 'no general sale'. She also said the queue is around the block at the main box office.

bowlingcrofty Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Considering they said tickets will go on general sale after renewals, that doesn’t seem right. Unless she means they’ll go to members and won’t make gen sale after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

General sale of season tickets after that date. That was the official communication from the club yesterday.

Tsunami Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Believe mine in The Milburn is now over £800. Gotta be honest; I’m very disappointed with the club. That’s a hell of a hike, we’re in a cost of living crisis and we’re potentially pricing fans out of attending. We’re supposed to be the richest club in the world and in touch with the fans. This smacks as an unnecessary, opportunistic, grab thank frankly isn’t needed. My ticket has stayed the same but I’ll be honest I’d struggle to justify upwards of £850 and I’d be heartbroken to have spent decades supporting shite and then missing out as it gets promising. I really don’t understand the rationale. The supporters are the club, why punish supporters coming back, many of who boycotted Ashley and helped pave the way for the takeover.

The Milburn and East Stands have been upwards of 800 quid for a few years now. It's just a pity that for a lot of people their fixed price deal had come to an end this season, but it was always going to happen. Prices weren't going to be frozen forever.

Tsunami Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Really, hadn’t realised. If that’s the case they should bring ticket prices back down. I’m all for giving free tickets out to those on hard times as well, say 500 or so every home game. It’s loose change in the big scheme of things but a huge gesture and a massive opportunity.

Hovagod Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Yeah, I paid something like 900 quid for my seat in the East Stand last summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubbish news if true about no one else being able to get one. Sorry - I should have been clearer. I specifically wanted seats in the Milburn and didn't think I'd have a chance to get them on general sale so I bought 5 x Platinum Club Bonds which entitles the holder to first option on season tickets in the seats. I then took that option out yesterday and 'renewed' all 5 ST's. The conditions of the bond are that the club are not allowed to sell ST's in those seats to anyone but the bond holder however, if the bond holder doesn't renew, then the club can sell the seats on a game by game basis. So yes, a renewal of sorts, and not a 'new' ST even though we've never had them there before if that makes sense. And the girl on the phone 100% said they do not think they'll get to general sale....

I'd tried it the day before and it was literally 'off', didn't even dial. I tried it again yesterday AM and the same. Tried it on the off chance yesterday PM and was placed in position 97 in the queue. Waited 3 hours almost and got through to an operator who said they'd been absolutely rammed and that there was a huge queue in the physical box office too. I paid £5275.00 for the 5 ST's. 4 seats together in the Platinum Club and 1 on its own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
