It's only worth doing if you have a child close to 18 as they will benefit from a cheaper Premium ticket if we made it to the promised land.
I'm looking at the family stand, that value is pretty damn difficult to complain about and those savings probably mitigate the extra costs if we did make it to the Prem.
There's a lot of moaning but that's because our product has been so cheap in recent years and the adjustment is difficult.
If the demand is there, I assume they'll open up more blocks in the North Stand.
Haven't had a ST and for the amount of games me and the lad would be able to attend, usually just get what scraps are available per game. But it's usually in the North Stand. Must be some financial reason for this, I can see wanting to generate an atmosphere and save money when we were in L2, thought we were past that ffs. Mabye Fisher's ghost is haunting the place, "build it they will come" replaced by "close it they will move".
Think I will have to move, block19 for me a 17 year old and two u12 is over £1000 . £450 in kids zone ( if I can get in)
Feel I am being forced out after putting up with brum for 2 years and being here since.
The ground holds just over 32000 currently there are just over 13000 season ticket holders take away around 4000 away fans that leaves around 25000 seats to pick from, if we get to the prem that 25k will disappear very quick.
Renewing but likely will be moving to the family zone as overall it will be £100 more for a group of us, rather than the £400 for just my own ticket alone.
Sat in that corner a few times this season and the view is actually okay, hopefully the atmosphere will pick up too with more people next year
£900 (£39 a game) in the non premium zone - Not expensive!!
£400 (£17 a game) in the family zone - Dirt Cheap
for a day out with the kids, even the £39 is not expensive, but for those who either cant afford it, or (as i would be) delighted at the family zone price - £17 is a steal
many of the moaners would happily pay £150 for a day out at an away game for the same group
60-65 Group is a shock, but people are generally either working still or are retired because they can afford to so from that perspective in general that age group would be able to comfortably find the extra
The only slight thing i can see is the overall reduction for concessions as a % is much less generous, so eg those on a pension and no other income are seeing much greater increases
I’m renewing in or around Block 24 where we’ve become accustomed to the view. Understandably my brothers aren’t open to moving to the kiddie zone so I’m sacking off the daughter’s season ticket. She’s with me every other weekend so only made maybe 30/40% of games.
My plan is to get her a match ticket for when she wants to come, although I’m expecting it will be a massive rigmarole and the seat(s) next to us will be sold. So technically I may be moving every second or third game.
Just cannot entertain sitting behind the goal (my personal choice, I hate that view) and on my own for over half of the games. Notwithstanding that it is cracking value.
