Guest Bilo Posted 27 November 2013 Posted 27 November 2013 I think the first thing that needs to be challenged is the dreadful price structure of the half season tickets.
StanSP Posted 27 November 2013 Posted 27 November 2013 Hello. Did you mention at the previous meeting about a ticketing idea I raised?
LCFC FOX Posted 27 November 2013 Posted 27 November 2013 Possibility of N block becoming not part of the family stand would be nice with an extra block the other side being part of the family stand. This would save children from ever getting hit by anything and will cause a better atmosphere and also spreading it and most of all it leaves the N block standers alone!
Leicester Lass Posted 27 November 2013 Author Posted 27 November 2013 I think the first thing that needs to be challenged is the dreadful price structure of the half season tickets. Agreed. I did look for the half ST price list for last season as a comparison but all I could find was the 'prices from ...' article.
Leicester Lass Posted 27 November 2013 Author Posted 27 November 2013 Hello. Did you mention at the previous meeting about a ticketing idea I raised? I did, they thought it was a good idea. We've actually got a new head of ticketing who's come from Aston Villa (hence the changes in away ticketing sales), and there's lots of ideas that he's looking to implement but obviously it takes time.

The club ideally do not want the N block thing to continue, they've had lots of problems with it including having to relocate families because of bad language/behaviour. They don't want that behaviour to be associated with the family stand.Please don't turn this thread into another N block debate btw, we've got one of those already. Just passing on what I was told in the last sub-committee meeting.
Mark_w Posted 27 November 2013 Posted 27 November 2013 Can you ask them why they haven't given Nigel a new contract yet?

I will say no more, agreed with the half season ticket prices also! Goal music by any chance?
LCFC FOX Posted 27 November 2013 Posted 27 November 2013 Also the online ticketing, it needs sorting. People who don't even have season tickets are getting tickets for QPR away for example online

Brilliant. Thank you. This new guy from Villa - is he taking over someone else or is it a new role made for him/someone?
AnotherShitSeason Posted 27 November 2013 Posted 27 November 2013 When is the Bernie statue being officially announced? Now the elephants have gone I feel the time is right to press ahead with this.
Dan Posted 27 November 2013 Posted 27 November 2013 The second half season ticket prices make little sense to me and I agree that it needs putting on the agenda. If I was to get one, it'd be £36 cheaper than my full one that I bought this summer. I think a lot of season ticket prices are reasonable, but prices for the second half ones make so little sense that I think they're pretty much a waste of time. If they're 'half' season tickets I'd price them at 60% of the full ones. I'd like to know why DMU students can get tickets for cheaper than anyone else in the ground. I'm not against encouraging students to go to Leicester games, but it's ridiculously unfair on fans who've been going for years - and it's a bit of an insult to Leicester fan students at Uni in another city who not only have to pay more to get there, but don't get any pricing priority over locals who may not even be Leicester fans? All a bit bizarre to me. I'm all for cheaper tickets and want to see them in general - but our crowds get worse every year and if you look at our last 6 seasons (including this one), we've finished higher than the previous season in all but one of them. Does that not speak volumes that the pricing is a bit off? N Block - I appreciate that this'll probably get shot down, but as of 2014/15 (or even earlier), make it seperate from the family stand and actually encourage people to go in there and create some noise. It's an absolute myth that kids are put off from football by the idea of an atmosphere at games - that's what got me into it aged 5. Encourage atmosphere rather than dilute it, because if the team is playing poorly (not beyond the realms of possibility), what's going to keep people, especially youngsters, interested?
yorkie1999 Posted 27 November 2013 Posted 27 November 2013 Its about time we had beer only queues at half time at the kiosks.
Dan Posted 27 November 2013 Posted 27 November 2013 Its about time we had beer only queues at half time at the kiosks. Good shout that. I went to Germany for a game this weekend and the rules on beer are frighteningly different from over here. I appreciate it's not something Leicester City as a club really have a say on, but I'd like to see beer in the stands. It's a good moneymaker.
Happy Fox Posted 27 November 2013 Posted 27 November 2013 Make the whole East Stand a singing section (thereby people can stand in all areas), encourage safe standing to be in that area when the power that be give the go ahead, I think that is only alternative because the club won't allow the Kop and the family Stand to change over.
Dan Posted 27 November 2013 Posted 27 November 2013 If Leicester City genuinely do support safe standing, I'd like to see them come out in support of it, rather than wait for others.
Babylon Posted 27 November 2013 Posted 27 November 2013 This would save children from ever getting hit by anything Yeah... I'm sure they would love that comment.
Babylon Posted 27 November 2013 Posted 27 November 2013 Its about time we had beer only queues at half time at the kiosks. We did didn't we.... problem was loads of bellends couldn't read the signs and threw a wobbly when they couldn't get their pie as well.
Dan Posted 27 November 2013 Posted 27 November 2013 Yeah... I'm sure they would love that comment. I didn't even see that. Fvck me. Can we not pretend things actually happen for the sake of an argument? I'd love to know how many objects have ever been thrown there.
Larry_LCFC Posted 27 November 2013 Posted 27 November 2013 The online/phone ticket system needs sorting. Trying to buy man city tickets was an absolute farce. Just like every other slightly interesting game. Turns into a free for all where the website crashes and the phone system won't even let you sit in a queue. It just says try again later (at a exploitative cost). It's pathetic
Aus Fox Posted 27 November 2013 Posted 27 November 2013 Can we get a pre-season friendly in Australia? Prefebly in Melbourne please?
ousefox Posted 27 November 2013 Posted 27 November 2013 Please find out how many half season tickets have been sold. Could do with a laugh.
Harry - LCFC Posted 27 November 2013 Posted 27 November 2013 If you get a chance to mention the continued problems with the website that'd be great. For example we're just hearing about STHs without priority points buying tickets for QPR, probably not a major problem for this game but the same thing happened last season where, if you recall, they had to take the site offline to keep things fair.
