Hospitality Package! This is a weird one!

[Sly]

So, I’ve just had an email drop offering hospitality for the Arsenal game. 
 

I thought this was a little weird, as when I phoned the club in pre-season, they were adamant everything had sold out and I’d be out on a waiting list.

 

Anyhow, I then receive this! 
 

Hospitality - off site at Welford Road! To then be taken to the King Power and sit in general admission. 
 

WTF is that

Highly anticipated 😂

That’s for arse fans only!

Wtf

Not wishing to live up too much to my heritage, but how much is it?

 

 

[fox_favourite]

What an odd thing to offer. It'll take an hour to get to the game from there if it's transport (unless it's golf buggies)

[Lako42]

New type of fan

Tourist seeking bollocks. Happy to go the extra mile for this type of customer

I think it was something like £275 per person. 

[fazzyfox]

They’re extending the amount of hospitality places by sourcing a facility elsewhere. Is it because they’re sorry to hear people have missed out or “Kaching kaching” some other reason?

 

Sounds like an Only Fools And Horses sketch:-

 

Rodney - “We’ve had a complaint. They want a refund for the deluxe executive match day package you sold them for the Leicester v Arsenal Football match”

Del - “ Why, they had a slap up meal and a pitch side view”

Rodney - “It was the Rugby pitch down the road!”

Del - “We got em a seat to see Leicester City play  too”

Rodney - “That’s why they’re complaining”!

Blimey

Not the first time the club have done this but £275 sounds a little "cheap" for Arsenal?  Bit of a trek from the KP though as well. Probably the only legit way to get a ticket for this game.

I loathe modern football.

I’ll do my own hospitality package for half the price

 

Meet at the Clock Tower for a short walk to Corn Exchange.

 

Lucky members of the group will get their choice of a meal and free drink, I recommend the BBQ chicken melt and a pint of Birra Porreti. 
 

After that, couple of shots before we hop in the Uber to the KP.

 

Hopefully they’re giving out free Chang’s and we can take advantage of that on the way in, if not, a coconut will do as I’ve brought a cheeky flask with me with some liquor in and we’ll try and do a DIY pina colada. This is the cocktail making part of the day.

 

Now the shit part, you’re probably gonna watch us lose. I plan on leaving at 80 minutes to beat the traffic so meet up back outside the ground then it’s back in the Uber to Mosh.

Standard for high demand games in the Premier League nothing odd about it. Other clubs do similar the pain is the walk you need to leave the Tigers 20 minutes before kick off to be in your seats. Food in the past has been OK it’s the same caterer as at the KP. No half time or after match element brings the price down.

This will definitely be aimed at Arsenal fans.

That's what they do when folk put there tickets on the re sale platform. Give them 20 quid back and sell it to some mug for £275.

Waiter service with Jon Rudkin doing the serving

[worth_the_wait]

You could legitimately advertise it as "pre-match hospitality at Leicester Football Club".    That would confuse a few ...

Nah, come on. It's a swindle.

[davieG]

Build the bloody extension then they can face the football pitch.

Turns up after everyone's left with a burnt gammon which was in the reduced to clear, but which he somehow paid double full price for

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Just got a couple for me and my stunning wife. We couldn't possibly say no to a unique terrace area, and the words "pitch-facing lounge" made it an easy sell for us

 

It's called backing the lads – you lot should try it some time
