Looks like I'm looking for a new seat How much of an increase is this? Company I used to work for have tickets in the Milburn Suite and they got what they describe as a great deal for 10 years. It runs out after next season and they’re expecting a big hike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to kill the atmosphere in there if there's a middle section in The Gallowgate full of corporate shitmunchers. It's the black and white gantry seats above gallowgate leading around to Millburn so they're pretty detached anyways, shite for any atmosphere as it's mostly shmoozing. For reference, my ticket for last 5 year on this area has been circa 1500. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Ah, those seats where the restaurant is? Saw Le Tissier in there for the Southampton semi, don't think he caught me aiming an injection mime at him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Unsurprising. Hopefully that puts a pin in that 'we should move to a bigger stadium so more people can afford it' argument. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue that in a bigger stadium there's more opportunity to keep a subset of tickets more affordable. In a smaller stadium every seat may need to be maximized for revenue (especially if demand remains high). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because as far as I can see the argument that we should have a bigger stadium so that more people can afford to come isn't based on anything other than hope. There's no evidence to back it up, if anything only the opposite. Edited June 6, 2023 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a smaller stadium every seat may need to be maximized for revenue (especially if demand remains high). You could definitely make the argument, but as far as I can tell there's nothing that it would be based on. Almost every PL club's cheapest season tickets have gone up in the last 10 years, including those that have moved stadium or expanded. At best they've stayed the same while our consumer spending power has reduced. Edited June 6, 2023 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's a champagne bar now A couple of years ago, Ashley would have put a couple of dodgy chairs and tables on the Gallowgate roof, complete with the mildew, and charged you a premium for Squab, and whatever water you can sip out of the guttering.
