Season Ticket Pricing as a result of Stadium Expansion

[The Pink Panther]

Moomba, we were informed four seasons ago that EL2 was becoming corporate and there were going to be huge price increases, that's why I moved
I am surprised at how long it's taken the club to do it, but that's because it had to sort out the extra seating on the new tiers

As a matter of interest, when did you re-locate to EL2?

There have already been pretty hefty price rises, I reckon I'm paying at least £200 more than I was two years ago. I'm just on the edge (three seats away from non padded) and was hoping that it wouldnt extend that far.

Think I've been in my current place around 5/6 years. Have tried level 3 but it's no good. Pretty sure L3 can't get to L1 either. It's straight down the spirals and out the door.

It was quite obvious though that it was going to be a huge price increase, double or even more. You must have received the letter, it was from Garry Cooke
I tried to meet someone on L3 the other week and was told I couldn't, but the steward said they could come down to L1 (I take it they meant by either an internal stairway or the lift) The reason is that the L3 concourse is much smaller

Yeah I got a letter, but short of moving somewhere I don't want to sit a few years earlier I'm not sure what the point was.

Never had a problem moving from L2 to L3 at half time, not sure about any internal stairs but wasnt aware you could move between L1 and L3 at all.

There is an internal stairway used by the stewards/staff, we used it to get from L3 to L1 during the fire-drill evacuation test before the stadium officially opened.

Well you learn something everyday. Imagine how many needless relocations access to that stairway would have prevented over the years. I was level 2 with my 5 year old daughter when we moved in and had to transfer to level 1 just so she could meet bloody Moonchester every game!

"Thousands" on the waiting list, but do we have any idea exactly how many? Has anyone put their name down in the past few days and been given a number?

I know of someone in the 1900-2000 range from around 4-5 days ago.

No idea but I did get an e-mail from the club today, telling me I`d only got a few hours left to sign up.No point for me as I`m more than happy in CBL3.

Fact of the matter is this. The club want to get more money through ticket sales. They therefore will be putting prices up especially for the premium seats, much like a cinema does nowadays. There is demand for these tickets at the inflated prices.

However the occupants of these seats are currently getting them for a very reasonable price and want to continue to do so. The club, as is their want, are putting the prices up regardless. However, knowing that this would mean that fans are either shut out or priced out, the club adding extra seats at a reasonable cost so the misplaced fans can continue to watch their beloved club. Whilst the seats arent the premium variety previously enjoyed, there isnt a bad view in the stadium, so they are more than acceptable. The club get the additional ticket revenue and fans are not priced out of going to the matches. Win/Win

If we read that in regard any other club we would be impressed with what the club was doing for its fans.

the picture your painting is way to big ,what about me me me ?

I havent made a final decision yet, but for me I'll probably spend £270 on a season ticket to Alty in 2015 before I pay £299 for a seat in the nosebleed section of the south or north stand. I'll still be a City supporter but from my armchair.

So do you go to football to support your team and enjoy the football or view?

I go to watch the game.

Obviously any old game will do if you'd rather watch Alty to save thirty quid a year. Why not save even more and go to 1874 Northwich

Been to a few Alty games this year, been quite enjoyable.
