New seating plan




Those hospitality seats in the North Lower seem very close to the away fans.

Posh people love to laugh at the oiks.

Just renewed, 2 over 66s £614 each in the upper holte rail seating, so no seat number change, but an arrangement fee for the interest free loan of £81.00.
hardly interest free then.

Lets hope people don't blame the club for fees imposed by a finance company.
Some seem determined to beat the club up over everything at the moment     

This is the first time I've ever known there being an arrangement fee, though?

Yep it is...

This was built into the price previously. So its a 5% increase + this V12 charge. Another stealth increase.

It's like having our own Martin Lewis on here.

It is poor that the renewal section isn’t working and that if that’s because they’re not on sale yet the communication failed to explain this properly, yes.

Honestly people have generally shifted by about 3 seat numbers. Would it be so hard for them to have said that? Rambling about you moving to ‘the nearest comparable seat’ left loads of room for interpretation and worry that we were being moved away from where we’ve been for 20 years. They just could have been a lot clearer and it’s not that much to ask really.

Some people saying they’ve been moved along several blocks. Has the seating plan changed that dramatically. Without the details within blocks, they can’t see “geographically” how far they are from last seasons seat . Not that affects me but I do feel the comms aren’t very clear from the club. Surprised with slight increase in capacity, (now only about 300 at 42,900) there will be less GA for each game too.
Without offering any new ST to those on waiting list it seems they’re banking on this group to keep forking out for the new hospitality seats on a game by game basis

It’s a 12% increase then, right? For those spreading the costs. Which presumably is the majority?

Seems a bit shady.

Do the majority use that facility? If people do, I'm also assuming that they could borrow the money elsewhere at a cheaper rate if this fee is excessive?

The reality is that borrowing money costs money, however you do it. I doubt very much the club are seeing any of that fee at all.

V12 has always been no separate charge previously . So paying up front or spreading the cost was the same price. There was no discount for paying all up front.

It's approximately 6% of the cost of the season ticket - which isn't too bad, but just another way of wring money out of people.

I don’t really know. Maybe more people have the up front cash or interest free credit cards than I think.

People that used this method of payment last season are now paying an extra 7%, without being told about it until they have gone to renew.
