But most documents at that stage would be treated as commercial in confidence; and there would be zero reason to show them to a random who happened to be a lawyer. Unless he has a pal in one of the design team’s offices who likes sharing stuff - an architect, engineer or QS - then the odds are he’s talking out of his backside. He is easily found on LinkedIn. He works for a major house builder and does not appear to be a solicitor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 The club have made a bit of an issue about last week being the deadline to sign up to be a Mags+ member for this season. With games running out, many would think that they are going to announce a product that can only be bought by Mag+ members or have a period of exclusivity to buy it. I do wonder though if they are going to only consult season ticket holders and Mag+ members in regards to the stadium? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteV Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 10 minutes ago, Stifler said: They won’t get past season ticket holders mate. They did last time. Obviously there was a bit of uproar about how they went about, and no doubt there will be again, however they decide to do it. If I remember correctly the allocation is slightly more than (what we believe to be) the number of ST holders, and that’s without considering that not every single ST holder would apply.

It wouldn’t really be on to suddenly make Mags+ a requirement in relation to getting tickets when that wasn’t advertised as such. However, they can’t really be letting people buy a membership next week and have the same chance as someone who’s had one all season. Anyway, let’s just hope this is all still a discussion topic come Thursday morning 🤞 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mag+ is advertised as priority ticket access to special events. I’d argue a Cup Final would fall under that description. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallsendmag Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 5 hours ago, Stifler said: I think the problem is that everyone regardless of how they sing, will want to be sat there. The only 2/3 reasons why someone say in the East stand won’t sit in that area would be price, safe standing (if they are older), and the fact that they don’t sit along the pitch and see behind 1 goal. If those aren’t factors in them, then they will all choose to sit there to claim that they are part of the noise. Yes that's possible. I know ow a few lads in the SE Corner and they reckon that's becoming a problem in there, people wanting to be amongst it but not contributing to it. Even so, though a 25k stand behind a goal with 15k or so of them chanting and really getting behind the team has to be much better than the current set up in the Gallowgate where hardly anyone contributes. The middle tier especially, sucks the life out of the stand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had your chance to upgrade. They publicised the cut off point a few times. Might be absolutely nothing in it but if you are going to waste £10 this year I’d of recommended this was what to waste in on just in case. My other thought is the offer of Season Tickets in future for new ground and this season is the historical cut off point that they include in the criteria.

bobbydazzla Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) What the club membership page says about events is: Priority ticket window for St. James' Park Events I take that to mean non-football events e.g. members did get priority on Fender tickets And that priority offer is the same for both Mags & Mags+ Edited February 2 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) I doubt Mags plus gets cup final ticket benefits. (Selfishly I hope it does, cos I am one. I paid the tenner from the start just in case there was something, was more thinking about STs - never thought likely though ) Edited February 2 by Superior Acuña Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

E.g. nobody knew for a fact two years ago that going to Bournemouth home or Tranmere away in the cup was a way to increase your chance of a final ticket. I assume if and when STs open up they will use something, and that something won't have been previously stated. Even if they use ANY previous membership (plus and regular) that will have been unadvertised. Not saying it's fair, and I doubt plus membership *will* be used for ST or cup finals, but I thought it was worth paying the tenner just in case.

Not sure, based on what’s been communicated (basically nowt) it doesn’t make any sense to cut off one but not the other Maybe not enough people were buying Mags+ so to increase take up they put a deadline on it and allow rumours to circulate about Mags+ getting you secret cheat codes for ST’s and cup final tickets Hey presto, loads of people sign up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it. That’s a reference point for Spurs. We announced 1000 STs with a strange criteria clearly and I dare understandably due to circumstances but then did the same with the Final tickets last time. Just find it strange they’d cut off a revenue stream amidst selling players left right and centre. Just my hunch anyway 👍🏻 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbydazzla Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Was just showing Spurs to demonstrate how easy it is to be transparent, I live in hope that someday we also have a similar level of visibility But alas, we have a Ticketing Team who appear to huff on a large bag of Bostik then make decisions about how tickets are divvied out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
