MrSpaM Posted 28 July 2016 Share Posted 28 July 2016 Are they seriously suggesting that if I don't buy tickets to all three games in under a weeks time then my seat is up for grabs to somebody else, for a game we aren't playing for months?!? WTF is the problem with just putting them up for sale a few weeks before the games like any normal game?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racingfox Posted 28 July 2016 Share Posted 28 July 2016 The club have confirmed that family stand child STH can upgrade for this game and it will not be counted as part of the limited upgrades allowed per season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpaM Posted 28 July 2016 Share Posted 28 July 2016 Really, we need somebody from the club to confirm that our tickets for this are still secure even if we don't purchase the 3 in 1 deal I'm a season ticket holder, and I'm unsure as to whether I'm going to be able to make the first game. Does this mean my seat is going to be sold to somebody else for the other two games just because I can't make the first one and don't want to commit to buying tickets to all three games?!?

Illusion35 Posted 28 July 2016 Share Posted 28 July 2016 It seems clear to me - you have to buy the three game package within the window of time given for your block. There's no option to buy tickets for individual games. If you choose not to, your season ticket seat will not be there to buy later on and indeed it is unlikely there will be any tickets at all (or very few) once this time window is up. I see that this is easier for the club to manage, but quite unfair on fans as no option to spread cost and we don't even know when these games are! I'll do it somehow,it's our team in the CL, but there couldn't be a worse time than August to find the extra money. Going on holiday and just paid for charity shield!

MrSpaM Posted 28 July 2016 Share Posted 28 July 2016 That's absolutely ridiculous Looks like I'm buying tickets to all three games and flogging the first one if I can't make it then, although I'm not 100% sure how I'm going to afford all three at once.

I e-mailed yesterday. Hi,Just wanted to clarify; as a ST holder do I have to purchase this 3 game package or will there still be a period before each game where I can purchase individually with priority. I only ask as funds are an issue for me to just whack out in a lump right now. And if so, will prices still be the same i.e £30 a game for U22’s?Thanks in advance, ------ Dear Chris,Thank you for your email. There are no single matches available at this time, only the three match package unfortunately.I will pass your concerns on to the relevant people for you.Kind RegardsJim Somewhat annoying tbh. I'll probably be able to afford it but would rather not shell it all out at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintyda Posted 28 July 2016 Share Posted 28 July 2016 got mine today as i was one of the ones that had to move usually sit near dug out all i could get was a seat near corner flag as nothing available centrally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayfox Posted 28 July 2016 Share Posted 28 July 2016 As I understand it. You buy the 3 match package or your seat is as good as gone and will be made available at a later date to members. And even if you get the option on it on a match by match basis. You will be paying more than the 3 match package. I've got to buy both my kids seats at 69 quid each and then upgrade later if I choose to. As it's the only way to get my 3 seats together. I personally like the idea of it all being done and dusted and know what I'm paying. However I would have like the option to upgrade to adult at the time of purchase to save the hassle down the line.

PAULCFC Posted 28 July 2016 Share Posted 28 July 2016 What i would like clarifying is do we need to buy the tickets in each of the windows(3 days) for whichever part of the ground you sit or does everyone have until the time the ticket selling stops to get them?

WTF is the problem with just putting them up for sale a few weeks before the games like any normal game?!? I *think* that is EXACTLY what they are saying. Only just seen this announcement. Not surprised but it doesn't help me, or anyone else who is either short of cash or may not be able to get to all three games for whatever reason. Whilst I don't have a problem with the pricing itself, compelling people to buy tickets to all three games when we don't know who they will be against seems a bit unfair. But the club don't care about that - I suppose they are wanting to maximise income and don't want a third final home game being a "dead rubber". They could at least have given this as an option at renewal time to roll up the CL group games into the DD. Of course, I will purchase my seat (and my son's) but the chances of me being able to make it to all three are quite low due to work etc. I'm sure I can punt them on to friends etc. The three game package should have been an option, and will no doubt suit some people absolutely fine, but match by match option would have been nice also!

stripeyfox Posted 29 July 2016 Share Posted 29 July 2016 In terms of seat relocation I reckon there are the thick end of 2,000 seats being allocated to UEFA for it's chronies, sponsors etc. Might run those seat numbers and rows through a spreadsheet later and exactly how many Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertfoxy00 Posted 29 July 2016 Share Posted 29 July 2016 They can't do this. I purchased a seat for the season, there was nothing in the t&c's that said they will sell my seat to a part timer if I don't stump up further for a mini season ticket. They HAVE to allow you time to see who and when we are playing before forking out and to choose on a match by match basis of you so wish. If they try this then it shows how much they value the loyal ST holders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wishing to side with the club, but you haven't you have purchased a season ticket for the League, you are under no obligation to buy tickets for any additional cup games, and on there part they have no obligation to sell you that seat for said cup games unless you want it. So they have given you an option, only you can decide to take that option or let it ride and hope you can secure it on an individual basis, the same as they give a window for FA and LC, there will be nothing in the terms and conditions that govern the CL at a guess. I guess it's not ideal for everyone, but there's no way after 26 years I'm passing up my seat and on that basis most others will be the same, you can call that not valuing ST holders, but they are giving you a choice to purchase a seat for something, like it or not, you have not paid for, so there fore it's not your seat for said event, as it's outside the season ticket boundaries.

If they try this then it shows how much they value the loyal ST holders! I have to disagree strongly here. If you look through my posts, I'm the first to get on at the club about fan issues. When the season tickets were released, it did say for the league games only with no mention of cup games being included. Similarly if you bought your ticket in the renewal period, you will not have known the final 20 teams of the Premier League. I didn't really wanna watch us play Hull but we are, so there we go. Id question anyone what wants to see who we are playing before making a decision. As that means you are effectively more bothered about who we are playing rather than Leicester City. I couldn't give a monkeys who we play tbh, we are in the Champions League. If we get a big side, great but if we don't, great more chance of qualification. The lack of notice and also the inability to pay by direct debit I agree is poor. It appears one of those decisions is backed into a corner by UEFA as are the various seat relocations. Without sounding coarse here, people who didn't want to make all three games as an existing season ticket holder are very much going to be in the minority. Thousands will go all three. Just like thousands go all 19 league games in a season ticket and a minority miss a few. The club could help with an exchange scheme mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
