He’s guaranteed a game, perhaps not all 46.

Just googled, when was it renamed the BS Arena?
Anyway how much is a season ticket?
I pay £430, sat in the corner with a view down the length of the ground but probably not as good a view as you get at your place. Hopefully we’ll still be going ahead with the expansion.
What are your long term plans? Staying put now that the twats have departed or still planning on building your own, smaller stadium (which never made any sense)?

We’re here for five years. That’s long term for us
Betond that pick your conspiracy theory. Looks like Doug is giving it five years. Lots of rumours Ashley in the background. A new ground above L1 is a very stupid idea.

We had people losing their minds when prices went up to £33 last season. We now have people saying “he’s not running a charity” on a proposition of them being £35 (unconfirmed). The contrast in discord is what I find so odd

I think the jump to £33 after we fell off a cliff at the end of the season, with not much incoming that window just looked sh*t.
If that ceiling jumps £2 while a new owner is spending to back up their plans, add in the run to the final, people might tolerate it.
Also, inflation is mental, so a £2 rise maybe doesn't seem as nuts when your morning coffee has gone up 50% in a few months.
If it hits £35 for the cheapest available adult seat, that would make us the 4th most expensive in the league, well over £100 for a family of four. I'm not sure how we justify that really. People seem to be almost egging them on to raise prices to this level which I just don't understand.
Not everyone can buy a ST, so we have to try to make it affordable as much as possible. At these prices, especially if things don't go well, we'll hardly be selling any match tickets at all. Personally I would ditch the categories and make it a flat £27 for all games with decent concessions.

The owner isn’t spending though (yet). We have spent a tiny fraction of a fee we received (so far). That isn’t an owner spending. It’s the same as it’s been for a while.

When did sisu last spend 4 million on 2 players?

I want tickets to cost less, but that's pretty unlikely. I'm worried I won't be able to take me and my kids up much this year vs. last (JSB tickets likely to be a lot more).
I'm not trying to open the argument re: who's money is being spent. Just talking about why there might be a different reaction to price increases this summer vs. last.

SISU didn’t have an asset that they managed to sell for €24m. I also think they would have sold him for less than that, so that’s a credit to King, but if people are classing spending £4m of €24m as an owner spending, I’d point them in the direction of SISU selling Chaplin and reinvesting more than half in Godden. This isn’t remotely a defence of SISU, far from it, but I don’t understand the positivity in everything currently being done when it doesn’t feel much different at all thus far, except he’s very front and centre.

looking to move seats this week, had a look on the seating map, there's not a lot left.

Showing intent with permanent signings and contract extensions, agreed an exclusive ground deal, upgrades to the training ground and a record transfer sale in just 6 months. Your right tho defintely not different.....oh hang on

Does anyone know how many non-corporate / membership seats there are in the home end. As you say there doesn't seem a huge number left but if we've sold 16K in the home end and the away end is 6K there should be a decent number of seats available

The deal is shorter than the one we had previously. Hamer and ohare signed extensions previously. We’ve always signed permanent players. We signed two loans in January. We currently have less permanent players than we’ve had in a long time (of course this will change). Selling a player for a record fee surely isn’t a positive if you do very little with it. The training ground upgrade is a positive. Let’s not just make stuff up for the sake of it though. I’m not saying it’s tragically bad, I just don’t understand what everyone is seeing that’s so fantastic, most the things people are bigging up ( ST sales ) is fan lead not owner lead. We had a record last season too, but we (rightly) praised the fans not Joy

it looks very sparse on the seating plan but these things can be deceptive.
Is there a block(s) or a certain number of seats being kept back for walk up?

Believe there is a block between the east and south stand in the corner that is being reserved. Assume it is for walk ups.

Front of 25, and all of 26/27 are held back for POTG. 12 & 13 obviously not on sale either. I’d guess maybe another 3 blocks total of unsold in the home end.
What’s that? Say 4.5k unsold 2.5k POTG and 1k segregation? Plus 6k away fans. That’s 14k plus the 18k we’ve sold is 32k

Last figure I read quoted was 19000 STs sold so the magical 20k STs looks a real possibility more quality signings we should get that especially if Hamer stays.
Be interesting how many are left for walk-ups assuming 4000 for away it makes the re-opening of some of the unused south stand blocks a probability.

Where did you see that? Last I saw was the 18k announcement 10 days ago. If we’ve hit 19k already then I think over 20k when alls said and done is likely. Lovely stuff.
Would leave about 2.5k for walk up without opening 12/13 or reducing the away from 6k I think. But others know the numbers better than me.

You sure the away allocation will be as many as 6000, Brum was about 4500 last season.

Emailed the ticket office and they said it can be anytime between now and the end of July

I think that’s the max but there’s segregation as well. Not sure. I thought 4.5k was 5-9 or something and 6k was up to 12. This really isn’t my specialist subject tho.

What is your specialist subject, you've yet to reveal it.

Still finding out. Just having confident opinions on everything until I’m right.
