Babylon Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Babylon, Dan What is 'just the ticket'? I've sat in the Kop since w the ground opened and have never looked at other options. The corner area next to SK4 and the same area at the other area of the main stand next to the family stand are classified "just the ticket", where match day prices are only £22 and season tickets are also much cheaper. There isn't really a bad view in the ground, so it's a very decent offer in the scheme of things.
hackneyfox Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Just the ticket seats are the two corners connecting family stand and west stand and the opposite end linking the west stand and the south stand Cheers, is it literally just a ticket and you can sit where you want?
Guest MattP Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Can people stop using the JTT as an excuse for an alternative to N Block. It's a worse view with a worse atmosphere, I wouldn't sit in theer if it was £15 compared to £22 in N Block. If someone can offer me a genuine alternative where I can get a seat for the same price as N Block with the same view I'm all ears.
Guest MattP Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Not sure how much more obvious I can make this. N1 - pretty much on line with Penalty Box behind Goal. JTT - Behind a corner flag, a whole block still to go across if you want the same view as N1 and that's if you're in the better JTT seats. JTT seats shouldn't even be £22.

There isn't really a bad view in the ground, so it's a very decent offer in the scheme of things. We sit on the edge of SK1 next to SK2, would you say JTT next to SK4 would be a better view?
Babylon Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Disabled areas are not comparable to the Family Stand. Completely different kettle of fish. But it's an area exclusive to others where you cannot sit, which is seemingly what you had a problem with? Is it ok if they are all disabled then and not children? The final point misses the entire point of this 'audit' yet again. Do you really think they've done this right now just by chance? Come off it. They've done it because a singing section is beginning to develop in there. As I have already said, the family stand is as full as I have seen it this season, if non family people are taking up seats people with families should be having, then I'm sorry but they need to give way. Again, you are just guessing at to the reason. So please do not say the point has been missed, when at this stage you have no idea. The more popular that area becomes to families, the more chance there is that N block will be made just family. But quite frankly, if you are going to buy tickets in the FAMILY stand, you should expect that the area etc is tailored towards families. If the club wanted to stop atmosphere they would clamp down on L block hard and kick people out left right and centre. Cheers, is it literally just a ticket and you can sit where you want? No you have a specific seat.
Babylon Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 We sit on the edge of SK1 next to SK2, would you say JTT next to SK4 would be a better view? Errrm, not sure really. It's all down to personal opinion really. You can actually walk round to the just the ticket area under the stand from where you sit (I sit near you). So you could always wander down there for a look one game. Go along the concourse to SK4 and go up the stairs at the end, you can get into the main stand concourse from there.
Guest MattP Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 We sit on the edge of SK1 next to SK2, would you say JTT next to SK4 would be a better view? It isn't. It's shit, there is a reason why they sell them so cheap.
hackneyfox Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 It isn't. It's shit, there is a reason why they sell them so cheap. I think I was having a senior blonde moment when I asked.
davieG Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 I have a ST in JTT as it's the only price at which I can justify going every other week. I've sat in all parts of the ground and yes you get different views but unless you're on or near the halfway line I don't see it being significantly worse than anywhere else. The mystical atmosphere may be better elsewhere but I certainly wouldn't and couldn't justify spending £30+ every other week that's simply not value for money for me.

Can agree with you on this I also have a season ticket in just the ticket section but I guess it's down to personal opinions I actually prefer my ST seat to anywhere else I have sat including the VIP section
ADK Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 a) The Family Stand should not be next to the away fans. That is where people want to be who like to sing. b) Adult tickets in the family stand should be relatively expensive but concessions should be cheaper. That way it makes economic sense to take your kids to the family stand and doesn't provide an incentive for people to go there purely for cheap tickets. c) With those points covered, I don't think the club need enforce an "adults with concessions only" policy, because there are unlikely to be troublemakers sitting with the kids.
davieG Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Can agree with you on this I also have a season ticket in just the ticket section but I guess it's down to personal opinions I actually prefer my ST seat to anywhere else I have sat including the VIP section I'm sitting inline with the pitch side of the goal line near an exit so I can stroll in at the last minute take two steps to my seat and can make a quick exit as soon as the final whistle blows. I can see the whole of the pitch, sure the far end of the pitch is a fair distant but nearer than it would be if i was half way up the Kop. I'm high enough up to see play developing yet near enough to feel any crunching tackles.

If the club wanted to stop atmosphere they would clamp down on L block hard and kick people out left right and centre. No you have a specific seat. Disabled people have genuine special reasons. It is a guess but lets be honest, given their history of things like this, I'd be truly amazed if it isn't and even if it is, why would they admit it? I wouldn't rule them out trying funny stuff with L Block yet but in fairness to LCFC, they've actually worked with Lee Jobber.

If someone can offer me a genuine alternative where I can get a seat for the same price as N Block with the same view I'm all ears. It's that price because it's the FAMILY stand. It's that price for FAMILIES, not for you to get a good view at a cheap bloody price.
Babylon Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Disabled people have genuine special reasons. And families / the club don't have good reasons for not wanting single adults taking up the space allotted to children and other families?
sylofox Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 The club never said a word about this to me when I handed over the cash for my ST. Only now they have my money are they saying I shouldn't be there. If you bought a single adult ticket and the club let you it is them at fault. They are in the wrong for selling single adult tickets take legal advice.
ADK Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Perhaps we can have an Asians only stand to encourage Leicester's large Asian population to attend. Or an LGBT section.
Dan Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 And families / the club don't have good reasons for not wanting single adults taking up the space allotted to children and other families? Reasons that were valid until they put the family stand next to what can be the rowdiest part of the ground.
Guest MattP Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 It's that price because it's the FAMILY stand. It's that price for FAMILIES, not for you to get a good view at a cheap bloody price. Why should a bloke get a better view at a cheaper price than me just because his son likes football and mine doesn't? It's unfair, just because you put a big 'Family Stand' logo on it and encourage families to sit there doesn't mean you should be allowed to treat people differently depending on their circumstances. Perhaps we can have an Asians only stand to encourage Leicester's large Asian population to attend. Or an LGBT section. I agree, and if you're white and don't like it well piss off, it's the ASIAN stand. That appears a good enough excuse these days to charge different prices to people.
Babylon Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Reasons that were valid until they put the family stand next to what can be the rowdiest part of the ground. Hence the reason N block is not under these restrictions, and hence the reason most families sit in the other three areas. You can hear what the away fans sing at the other end of the ground so no matter where they sit they will hear stuff.

It's unfair, just because you put a big 'Family Stand' logo on it and encourage families to sit there doesn't mean you should be allowed to treat people differently depending on their circumstances. Why should you get a cheaper ticket than anyone in the kop with the same view? The pricing structure is the pricing structure. It is there to encourage young fans who then move on to more expensive areas. If your son doesn't like football then that's tough, buy a full price ticket like the majority of others do. The club can treat you exactly how they like. If they offer incentives to encourage future fans that's up to them. Your viewpoint comes from nothing but selfishness.

I agree, and if you're white and don't like it well piss off, it's the ASIAN stand. That appears a good enough excuse these days to charge different prices to people. Rather than getting distracted, I think we need to address the real issue here Matt: why doesn't your son like football? What is wrong with him? Call yourself a father! What is wrong with you? Is that why you sit in the family stand, so you can gaze at the other fathers there with their little boys and think about what might have been and wonder where you went wrong? Jokes: you are more than likely talking hypothetically and probably don't even have a son. If you did have a son I'm sure he would like football and go to games with you and hold your hand and everything (and not like ballet at all).

But I do think the funny thing is this came out after people gobbing it off in FT on how to beat the system. buy one adult ticket and 3 kids and split the cost we do it Not no fvcking more you don't.
