The Terrace View - Holte End Upper

[Dogtanian]

So for £1300 (plus VAT) you can leap frog 30,000 people who are waiting to move up the ST list. This is starting to stink a bit.

I got the email and had a look, and the price for a terrace view season ticket is £1560 !

So minus the £480 that makes the seat you’re getting £1080.
Although as it’s allocated to you on best available basis you might end up in the rail seating.

How much is a season ticket in the upper holte?  I didn’t think it was over a grand!

Mine in K4 is £779, but match by match the ticket price would be £1,080…

Well, that does explain the slow uptake!
Best of it is they want the whole lot upfront!  😂

And I received the email after I’d bought my ticket for Everton.

Tempted? I’m sure you wouldn’t have trouble selling the Everton ticket, or you could leave the seat empty to excite a certain Bedrock chap.

If it was the £1260 it would be for existing season ticket holders I’d at least consider it.
Average £66 quid a game, (2x pints £10? Programme £3.50)
I mean it’s £52 a ticket then.

But £1560? Upfront?  Hard Pass

So it looks like the T won't be repaired before our  game live on TV Sunday. Embarrassing

Tsk! Obviously that is going to cost us points, and worsen our goal difference.

[Bad English]

Just in ! They're accelerating the renovation and changing the seats. Should be OK for Everton.

It’ll really ruin my weekend.

One thing I’ve never really understood and I may be in a minority here is the clamour to get a beer inside the ground. It’s usually a shit beer from a shit brand with shit plastic glasses and ridiculously overpriced. 

And anyone who’s prepared to pay for the privilege of entering a bar for said experience has more money than sense and is from the shires.  It reminds me of that scene in the David Bowie episode of Extras where they pay £20 to a bouncer just to sit the other side of the rope but still in full view of the ordinary punters.

If you take into account that you'll be in the ground for a couple of hours, plus travel either side, you can easily end up with a 3 hour gap between beers if you dont have one inside the ground.

I realise now typing that out that it makes me seem like a degenerate pisshead but there you go.

[Clampy]

Then you get the people who have had several before the game and queue up just before half time for another. That's what I don't get.

I went to a Villa game away at Middlesbrough one night.  I was on my own so did a lot of fan watching in the concourse.  One bloke carrying a really expensive shit beer went to buy a mars bar and they quoted him 70 pence.  In disgust he walked away without buying it.  The irony.

People having been drinking beer at football matches since Adam was a lad. If they want one, it shouldn't be beyond the capabilities of a club to serve them. There's a huge captive audience there, ready and willing to pay eye watering prices for rubbish. Most businesses would be rubbing their hands at that.

Actually, when did drinking beer inside football grounds become a thing? I don't remember it in the '70s or the '80s.
