How many seats will here be in the south stand and north stand when finished, and how many are in the Carnegie?

The new combined North/Cricket stand will have 4,200 seats for cricket and 3,825 facing the rugby pitch.

The new South Stand will have a capacity of 7,721 (2,217 seated).

Carnegie Stand
Capacity- 4,550 (1,844 seated)

I hope that helps

Thanks. So roughly speaking we will have around 8,000 seats. That’s a hell of a lot to sell game after game if the product on the field isn’t that great.

Think the corporate side will be a bit under done for a few years until we have the squad and performance levels that people will want to bring customers to see.

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

lol It would be pretty mid-range. No caviar or truffles, but a bit better than a cube of mild cheddar and a mini silverskin pickled onion on a cocktail stick!

Think an open faced roast beef sandwich on a fancily named bread with rocket

They could always offer an upgrade to full hospitality for a fee. Did you know you can stand on the SS for £60 and get a meal and access to the corporate areas pre and post match?

I agree that that's a lot of seats. Either they're going to have to attract some new fans or the existing fanbase will need to undergo a massive cultural shift to sit down (and pay the extra money to do so). I don't think I've ever seen Headingley completely full since the Carnegie opened. Always seems to be empty seats

It's not really a lot of seats though, it's up from 7,228 seats in the old stadium. An increase, yes, but hardly a huge one and especially when the club hopes some South Stand standing fans to take the opportunity to move to seats.

The seating areas sell out pretty regularly, as does corporate generally, at least in the good years. You'll always see empties when families of fans are away but that's different to them not being sold.

You should get on a bit of commission.
Always been partial to cheese on a stick. Very70's.
When I was a lad rocket was a weed. And as for open sandwiches I'd ban them. A sandwich by definition must have a filling being sandwiched.

Sold out about 4 times in the last 4 years

The Southstand has sold out a lot more than that

Re: 2019 | Season Tickets : Sun Aug 05, 2018 7:12 am  

I remember being in the old south stand last season on many a game when the club said it was a sell out in there and it wasn't.

Will prices change for a championship season?
