The Waiting List

[Marvin]

I believe we are now a very viable and credible alternative to United for corporates. I'm not sure were are 100% like for like in terms of kudos, especially with foreign business clients, but we're close enough to not be worried about competing for the corporate market - providing we can remain title contenders and consistently get out of the CL group stages.

Maybe, but the point stands financial services are headquartered in London. The big local employers are the NHS, Councils and Universities.

Maybe some London banks and financial services companies have seats at Utd and offer them to clients, but the potential would be many times greater in London.

I don't think it matters very much.

If there are some seats not taken in the corporate areas, so be it. Get the rest of the ground full, & the corporate seats will follow sooner or later. Get it all built over the coming years , eventually it will all be full.

For big games, the whole lot will probably be full, which raises the income. If people who attend are happy with the facilities, they may well start using them for other occasions & not just football.

If that balances out cheaper tickets in the other areas, we wil eventually get huge attendances.

Seems like good news is on the way very very shortly. I am led to believe that the process for allocation of new seating as a result of the South Stand expansion could start as early as next week. If memory serves me correctly that means East/West Stand relocators first up and eventually to those on the Waiting List. Club finalising details with a possible start prior to Easter and a May date for Waiting List. Just over 5000 new season tickets available, plus natural wastage, in the region of 10000 on the list

I think me and another 35,999 season ticket holders are inline before those on the waiting list......roughly 3,500 of the new seats are gonna be £299 ? so that means only 1 tenth of existing seasoncard holder to relocate and all those cheap £299 places are gone....im 80% certain at the moment me n my son will be having 2....cant see many be left for those on the waiting list.

Padded seat first I think.

Where you get that 3500 figure from? I doubt that many will be that price. Isn't some of tier 3 going to be away fans?

I would me surprised if more than 500 are sold at that price.

 

[Kompany is King]

Any ideas on when prices came out last year/will come out for the new season?

^ yep pretty sure that diagram floating around at teh time showed that only about the back 8 rows in the corner edges will be the cheap ones. The rest work from front to back at staging prices - the front 10 rows being same price as back of tier 2.

But they may have changed all that.

All the "lots of £299 cheap tickets" was pr bull to get positive press and fan interest :(

 

[bluestevei]

I might get a seat near the front about centre for 450 notes but if I can remember all the 450 tickets are for the first 8 rows and centre about half of stand and the rest are 299

That's not what I expected.

Thought the £299-£449 season tickets where for the new 3rd tier. Think there will be a lot of disappointed City fans who thought they were going to get a cheap season ticket in the 3rd tier. £599 is the same price as many of the current season tickets.

That's what I thought too,,,i thought roughly all the area in lite blue from the back of the new tier to halfway down way going to be the £299 tickets...like you say a lot on that waiting list are going to be disappointed and probably pull out,i know their £100 deposit is guaranteed to be returned if they do,iv got a mate with 4 on order...Iv told him from the start he wont have much chance ( virtually no chance ) of getting tickets for £299

How does that fit in with the creation of the singing section?

 

[mosssideblue]

Anyone any idea what the likely number of new tickets will be avail (based on any history of non renewals and new seats).

Some sorry person will be high on the list this year and number one on the list for the 16-17 season

Always does mate (ahem). We've the best view in the ground except I cant actually make out any shirt names anymore. Binoculars?

 

[peoffrey]

£299 Seasoncards were always going to be limited and with a condition or two attached to them. This "cheapest" Seasoncard crap hid the fact that the Value cards were also heavily restricted and laden with rules.

I imagine I will renew but I'm considering looking at a different block. I love it when I'm relocated to 204 for FA Cup matches but I understand the prices there are going to rocket. I might also look at heading down a tier to somewhere like 116 or 117. A bit more atmosphere hopefully.

Nope it was always the further back the cheaper the tickets. That's why I'm staying in SS lower as I don't want to sit at the back of a 3rd tier but I will be shifting over to the new singing section.

Guessing. Looking at the diagram, I would say that's roughly 3250 - £299-£499 season tickets. Each tier holds 6000 fans, each block will hold 1000 fans. 6 half blocks, 3000 seats, and one half - half block, 250 seats.

Said this 18 months ago, and for the initial SS phase were looking at 1250 that range from £299 to £449! Reality is I see as little as the current 500 ( Value Gold) being sold at £299.

In short it's a bit of a gimmick, a good one, but nonetheless a gimmick that the press will buy but sadly we won't get offered to buy.

My wife is 6th on that waiting list and I was looking to relocate to get 2 seats together at a cheap combined price, however I see no hope of getting 2 together at £299. Absolutely NO chance!

There's as much reality in your post as in the latest Cinderella film.
