Pearcy Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Apologies if this has already been covered (I don't come on here often) but is there any truth to the rumour I heard on a Facebook Group that the singing section has sold out already for next season? I would rather trust/believe you guys on here then the morons on there :laugh:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearcy Posted April 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 So it could be true then. Any idea how many seats those sections hold? I'm currently in the Atyeo singing section but I haven't renewed and I gather I am far from the only one. If this is true I'll be surprised.

richwwtk Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 S25 is showing 11 available at the moment, maybe they are just releasing tickets in small batches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearcy Posted April 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hmmmm interesting. If it had sold out I would expect the club to make an announcement really. That's why I've come on here to separate the truth from the crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your chance to guarantee a seat in the new singing section has passed weeks ago. If you havnt renewed soneone else has probably bought your ticket unfortunately.

Robin 101 Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Sold out a few days ago but today 25 more were released in S25 from somewhere so if you want one id be quick as it sounds as though more than half have gone since Midday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East End Old Boy Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Is it going to be unallocated seating? If so a certain percentage has to remain unsold for safety reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as people aren't being silly about it, is there any difference in 1000 allocated seats that have a more relaxed attitude to standing?

I know someone who bought a new season ticket in there last night. There was a slight increase in numbers from what we had in the Atyeo as it's a bigger section. 1 hour ago, 1960maaan said: Not doubting you but why?

The argument (and I'm not agreeing with it) from the safety lot is that people in unreserved areas tend not to stand exactly one to a seat and so more room is needed to accommodate that.

Lew-T Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 I'm guessing they will police it the same as they did when the signing section were in the old Williams stand. Just a line of stewards checking tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The singing section has a 'relaxed view to standing' and unreserved is expected to bunch together. But if they sold a seat ticket with the same 'relaxed view' what exactly is the difference. You would have 1 seat for 1 person same as unreserved, they could all cuddle together , same as unreserved but would they have the same rules applied to them? Just being devils advocate.

richwwtk Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 I've also noticed that only half of S24 is on sale. There don't appear to be any tickets being sold in the half of the block closest to the singing section so it would appear there is going to be quite a large gap between the singers and the rest of the SS for some reason.

We bought the nearest 2 available in S24 as half of it appeared to be already sold. Didn't occur to me it was because there will likely be a gap between the singers and the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netted off to prevent `invaders` from other blocks perhaps? All the stewards would need to do then is check tickets at the bottom of the vomitory (sorry DM) and turn anyone away who shouldn`t be in there. It will be a lot easier to do that than try and get people out once they`re in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakes Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 I was told when i booked my seat in the singing section that part of the next block was going to be netted off to prevent people getting in and out of the singing section as it is un-allocated seating for 1500.
