The Terrace View - Holte End Upper

[danno]

I’m bumping this topic because I’m still cheesed off about this. They offer this to me for £1560 pounds, which is £300 quid higher than any existing season ticket holder in the upper holte, who has paid to access the bar for the season.

So expecting me to pay £300 extra for the exact same experience is gripe one.
Secondly on a match by match basis they’re selling seats in this eyesore for £114. Which over the season works out at £2166. I mean £114 for a league game?! That’s roughly £60 extra for two pints and a program.

Is it for the day tripper market? Because if I was on holiday abroad and likely never to be in the country again I can kind of imagine it. But for a typical fan the price points seem insane.

No fan allowed in the terrace view during the game I believe, unless someone knows different , should have added unless for disability reasons

I think it’s just a bar for pre match, half time and full time. You still sit in the same upper holte seats as everyone else. You just have a dorky looking lanyard around your neck.

£30 for a Carling Black Label .  It will never fly

I've been morbidly fascinated by this horrendous commercial experiment so I've crunched the bizarre numbers.

Initially offered as a £480 add on to Season Ticket Holders in the Upper Holte. This would turn my regular seat from £728 to £1,208. £25 per game extra. Total cost, £63.57 per game

The £1,560 'Season ticket' is the price of attending every match:
8 x Category A games at £63 per ticket = £504
11 x Category B games at £45.50 per ticket = £500.50
'Extra' amount charged is £555.50. Total cost, £82.10 per game.

Note that whilst this is a 'season ticket' it has none of the usual benefits attached to one, like choosing your seat, or relocating.

Finally, the club have decided to charge an arbitrary £69 extra per ticket on a match by match basis. Hence £114 for Palace and £96 for Hibs.

Do they really think there's a market for people to spend £69 extra to sit on a bench in a windowless (as the blinds are shut) room for 15 minutes at half time? Where's the number come from? Do they just think it's a funny number? The reduction in other catering facilities has surely cost them money, this can't offset it, especially with the capital expenditure required.

Am I invisible?  I literally asked the same question two posts ago!  😂
Fair play though, your post was worded much better than mine.

The proof in the pudding as they say is if it's a commercial success

I'll probably go at some point to see what it's like.

Whilst the product on the pitch is good they will try anything off it.
Heaven forbid things start slipping on the pitch , we could eventually end up with some nice parts of the ground for everyone for free (not that i dont want success on the pitch)

How much extra is pudding?

How much extra is pudding?

£17.50 or £235.50 if you have a pudding pass, £335.50 if you have a dessert pass.

Saw an excellent post on Twitter earlier, something along the lines of

There are 469 seats available for tonight.  1 is £30.00 and the other 468 are £96.00.  The fucking clowns.

I'd be entirely in agreement with Fred here - it's a disgrace.  We have 460 good seats that have been held back from membership-paying fans in the hope of selling them at over 3 x face value of a match ticket.

Somebody should be sacked.

There are still people out there after seats.  That's up to £14k of income they have pissed up the wall, plus any possible add-on spend.
