Once you take segregation into account, after gold and silver minimum allocations you're looking at 3k seats which could easily be taken up by hospitality, directors and player and staff allocations. Remember that the 32,500 capacity includes every seat in the ground including those unobtainable by the public. I don't know how many exactly but the netting for segregation must cover hundreds of seats for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is the 1st game back at home as champions against a so called big club, where the **** do you think the remaining tickets are??? Cuz i'll hazard a guess you can work that out as well. I can yes but it doesn't make it any less wrong what the club have done. Taking advantage of loyal fans, it is absolutely shambolic that all those tickets are going to sponsors and corporates. I got a ticket so it's not even that I am bitter, just disgusted that 2,500 people paid £90 and god knows how many others £70, not to get a chance to buy a full price ticket.

I was questioning the whole process and rather than respond with a theory you decided to try and be clever with the minimum point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripeyfox Posted 2 August 2016 Share Posted 2 August 2016 It does seem a bit shitty that a seemingly significant number of tickets have been "absorbed" by who knows who? STH + visitors = 26k or thereabouts, and another 2k sold to gold/silver members. That still leaves perhaps a minimum of 3k and possibly as many as 4k that are shall we say"unaccounted for".

promised land Posted 2 August 2016 Share Posted 2 August 2016 Aren't all the journalist seats in the main stand part of the full allocation? They're seats in a stand after all, then the big blocks next to them of posh seats. Got to be a thousand or so at least that aren't allocated to the plebs before you start doing the maths of 32k-23k STH etc. Fairly sure the 32500 or whatever it is, aren't all blue plastic seats that fans sit on. 40 odd boxes with 10 in each is 400 to start with, gallery, restaurants got yo be another couple of thousand, it might surprise you how very few are left for sale.

That may well be true of course, but I'm sure that there were more than 2,000 tickets sold after STH for games last season. I wonder if there will be coachloads of Thai delegates consuming hundreds of seats again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the club being totally transparent about these things I guess it is difficult to know. Maybe there were only ever around 2000 tickets on sale last year but the demand wasn't there at the start. Would be interesting to know EXACTLY how the number of seats stacks up. Everyone quotes STH as numbering 23K which I assume is correct but is it 23K dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure when you invest millions and millions of pounds into something you can allocate tickets as you wish, whether that is morally right or not.

The daft thing is the increasing of the price means that every Silver and Gold member will feel the need to go to more games to make it worth it, even if you do get a leather wallet and diamond encrusted key fob. It is still the principle of paying £90/70 for a chance to buy a ticket means you need to buy more tickets to make it worthwhile. I still think they should have decided not to put the 600 season tickets up for sale to gold members, and not increased the membership numbers, that would give more people more of a chance to watch us play.

Jaimal71 Posted 9 August 2016 Share Posted 9 August 2016 Hi I have 2 tickets from this game they are two single tickets and are restricted view in Sk4 row a and row n. Can collect live in Oadby Leicester or I can post for a additional cost of £6.50 special delivery and insured.. Not sure how this will go down face value is £39 buy I am looking to get £49 from them as I have 7 gold membership which as you may know this cost me £90 each just looking to cover my cost. I normally pass these cost to friends and family whom need extra tickets. If I have upset any one re cost I apologies NOT SALE ANY MORE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have upset any one re cost I apologies If friends and family buy tickets from you normally, then I guess it's fair enough to share the cost of memberships over the year. But for me, buying bulk tickets and then charging over the odds for them to strangers is a ticket tout, however you dress it up. Surely get commitment from people first and then they pay, or if you haven't got that, then take it on the chin and sell for face value. If you're charging £10 extra for every ticket to family and friends, then you only need to do that for 9 games on each Gold membership per season anyway. So if you are genuinely doing this occasionally, you are quids in. Only my opinion, but unacceptable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if we accept it, it's £4.74 a game not a tenner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
