Empty seats in north stand/family stand

[law74]

There's a seat next to me in block 134 which has been empty all season and yet it never shows up as available when buying extra tickets.

This reminds me of a story about a couple of gooners i heard a couple of years ago, bloke was sitting in the same seat for every game up to christmas and the two seats beside him were always empty, come the boxing day game a lad and his dad appeared and took their seats, it appears that the lads mother had bought season tickets for her son and her husband in august ....for christmas, and didnt give the tickets to them until christmas morning

Maybe they will fill up after Xmas when the womenfolk hand over their 'surprise'
Of a season ticket!



The old ones are the best, I know !

theres 10 seats next to me empty, then at about 20 mins into the game until about 75 mins they are filled by kids that work in the City Store!

Plenty of invisible fans then city?

We do desperately need a Ticket Exchange on the club's website... Been saying this for awhile now... getting tired of it.

And fans do double up in 111.......

Agree. Surely this isnt that difficult to organise? We are probably only talking about 1000 seats if that to administer.

I'm in the family stand with a seat for my daughter. I won't be bringing her along while it is cold. The problem is we are only allowed 2 upgrades for the weekend games and unlimited for night games. I have now used my 2 up for weekends. So my daughters seat may be empty some weekends

Think we've given too much allocation to the Family stand without thinking it through.

Midweek games, moving kick off times; there's plenty of reasons that stop families going to the game together. The result being that there's always empties at that end.

The other reason for that being people who refused to relocate and realised it was cheaper to renew their existing seat and buy a childs ST next to them.

Give the family stand the corner next to the ambulance tunnel and get more blues to the games.

Even if your kid wants to attended half the games in a season - you still need to get a season ticket (£95) to give them the chance to attended, otherwise your trying to find seats together, relocate etc...

It's parents with invisible kids

Level 1 isn't the Family Stand anymore, it's a normal stand.

134-138 are still family stand with the kids seasoncards costing £95 bet a few bought them and for whatever reason don't attend all the games if they attend 10 it still works out at £9.50 a game....
