You have far more chance of right quality & time if the successful contractor is making a decent profit. Winning work based on lowest price gets you Grenfell.

I wouldn’t argue with that, purchasing decisions should always be made in more than price and contracts should include performance penalties if they fall short too. In this case we didn’t even have a proper tender event.

The central blocks in the SS seats that have their own entrance and access to a couple of lounges on a small upper concourse will not go on General Sale, so I heard. It will be psuedo-corporate until the NS is finished (it could easily be operational by Christmas and fully fitted out by Feb would be a doddle, but that's another story). Once the new corporate facilities are open, the SS central can revert to GS. Whether they will or not I suppose depends on how much £££ they're making

The GS seats will be accessed via the terrace and share facilities and will be priced as per the Carnegie central seats (currently £30 but likely more)

The family area that used to be in the NS will move to one of the SS wings, including the terrace. Hummus families on top and Seabrook below. The band can stay, but there's to be zero tolerance of swearing and abusive chanting in the SS

The season ticket price for the good SS seats is going to be set at £50 per game. Expected to be £600, but will depend on the season structure

£50 per game is nuts. This isn’t premiership football...

Consider a father with two 18+ sons, they are ping to have to shell out £150 a game just to sit down, without food or drink (another £30-50) and then transport. You’re easily looking at £200 a game for 3 people. When you think of what else that money could be spent on, it’s not exactly enticing to watch the dross we’ve seen for the last few years.

Be no one sat up there if it's £50 a game

Correct. If the central section south stand seats are more than the £30 it costs in the central Carnegie seats then GH should be wearing a mask

As I say, you get access to private lounges and facilities and have a seperate entrance. A father with 2 18+ sons can sit or stand elsewhere if they can't afford it. There will be plenty of empty seats.

They won't be on sale on a match-by-match basis anyway and they won't be offered for general sale. How much do you think corporate costs elsewhere in the stadium?

Spurs are building a "kop" at their new ground and the best seats are well over a grand because you also get access to exclusive facilities/lounges. If Leeds can charge a premium for the best views they will

Re: 2019 | Season Tickets : Fri Aug 03, 2018 1:03 pm  

They can charge what they like, but every empty seat is lost revenue...

Re: 2019 | Season Tickets : Fri Aug 03, 2018 2:26 pm  

There will be plenty of empty seats as usual, but the central SS won't be. We're talking a few hundred padded seats, private entrance, executive facilities, a cash bar and maybe even a buffet for a premium of about £20 a game. You also get the best views in the house

What’s on the buffet, Grev ?

For 50 bar to watch what we are seeing this year, it would need to be a full banquet

If we end up in the Championship £50 just does not make sense
