Season Tickets

[chrisw1]

I think that it looks like a very nice space.  It's the compromise to the space for the rest of us that annoys me the most - losing the main bar and the largest toilets etc  I can't see it being anything other than a much shitter experience for the 80%.

Well that and the fact I'm convinced there will be some padded seats in the Holte within the next 2-3 seasons.

I've had the email invite for Terrace View this afternoon. They must be struggling to shift these packages

[Flin5tone]

Hope they are.

Great to see true fans showing their support right behind the club.

It gives you two pints and a programme in an area which used to be free but now has a couple of benches in it so they're charging entry. In addition, you get a seat in the Upper Holte which could be absolutely anywhere. You won't find out until the ST gets delivered to you.

For this, the price is £1,560, compared to the £1,260 the package would cost to Holte Upper Season ticket holders who were offered it. Whilst you renew that ticket, you can't relocate it anywhere else and your waiting list spot doesn't move. I think the £300 is a 'just because we think enough of you will pay it' fee.

This is an excellent summary of what I have heard.  Although some have been told if they take it up they are no longer on the ST waiting list, which is a massive flaw if true.

It's in the FAQ.

2 pints and programme and a lanyard for each game. There are ex Players doing a Q&A. Access for 2.5 hours before and 1.5hrs after each game. I'ts league games onlyy, with availability for other games and priorty given to Terrace View Holders.

If you take it up, you lose your place on the regular season ticket waiting list, and if you then don't renew your Terrace View ticket, you join the regular list again at the bottom.

You get the best available seat in Holte Upper, which could include Rail Seating.

I was invited yesterday, but my lad wasn't.

This is the uncertain bit. I think different people have been told different things, but if I was on the waiting list and this was true it would be a deal breaker for me.

That's what the FAQ says, quite clearly.

The club has done a lot of things very well and we're lucky to have such excellent owners.  But any genuine fan would have told them the Terrace View idea in the Holte was a bad one, partly because it's not the right stand for corporate and mostly as it is impacting on the majority to create a bit of cash from a few.  I think they will just about make it wash to save face, but I very much want it to fail as it should be a valuable lesson.

If they want to make people pay premium prices for the best seats in the stadium I think people would be more accepting if the club were open and honest about it and explained clearly what they’re trying to achieve. Yes people will be pissed off if they’ve sat in a particular area for years. The move to premium seating has been going on by stealth for the last 15 years and was very much accelerated by Purslow in the last few years. My own wish is that the club once they build the new North Stand come out clearly and state which areas they are designating for this type of seating rather than pussyfooting around marketing bollocks and fan surveys etc. it would of course be helped if they reduced or held prices in areas which aren’t seen as premium seating.

The Terrace View isn't corporate though, nobody's going to be taking clients there. It's just an "enhanced" more expensive offering, like you get in lots of the new stadia these days, such as Spurs and Wembley.

Well yes, corporate is the wrong term for now.  But a private lounge which could well in due course have private access to padded seats...

When it was first announced the price was shown as £1,300 plus VAT. That shows the sort of market they were going for.

The people in the waiting list who don't mind spending more to get a season ticket.

Which isn't really working if they have already got to offering it to those at 12500....

I wish they'd be equally as keen to invest in better service offerings in all other areas of VP.  They'd make more money off faster pouring systems in all stands across a season than they will on the Terrace View.

[VillaTim]

its a good test of the "pent up demand"
Maybe they'll take some learnings from this
