Jacki Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Does anyone know if City stil do stadium tours of AG? My 12 year old would love to go on one as a birthday present but I can’t find any up to date info on them. Guessing that the club don’t do them anymore but does anyone know for sure? Thanks in advance for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBW Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 I'd also like to have a look around the nrw stadium to be honest. I recently went to watch a game up in the Heineken lounge and they don't do a tour as part of that package anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see they are doing packages from £50 a head for a table, if you can upgrade from your ST that could be a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering though if there was a way of doing it without having to shell out a small fortune on parties or a mascot package. The lads I would take with us all have STs so I’d be paying for a lot of things twice that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desso Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Going back a few years, stadium tours were on offer for free on open days, but but in these corporate, money making days, the suits would probably want a significant amount of money to allow the common people to see into their private Kingdom. Our club is a thing of the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityred exile Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 I cant for the life of me why the club don't do pre season open days anymore , No need for a entrance fee But the club would get there sales on the day from the club shop and in the long term get extra ST Match day tickets etc etc This should help with PR for everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 As far as I’m aware they don’t do just stadium tours, my girlfriend looked into it for my birthday. unfortunately I’m a little old to have a party at the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well last years was held behind the south stand after the final game of the season. Plently stayed for it - felt good to give props to Tammy for his outstanding contribution. Would be quite happy to see this years delayed a bit and combined with our promotion party at the Lloyds amphitheatre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim S Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 @Dave L used to conduct stadium tours pre-match at the old Ashton Gate (Williams & Wedlock stand days) for certain parties. I cant remember off the top of my head who the people on the tours were and how they got the tours - but I know Dave was a brilliant tour guide and they used to go down really well. Although he hosts the Lansdown restaurant these days. Perhaps its something to take up with @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO Bigger stadium and more going on means it might not be practical to do tours on match days though - which is understandable (if thats the reason!) and I assume there wont be much demand for tours on non-matchdays?!

Matt Parsons Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Hi all, I have spoken to the team at Ashton Gate and they are looking into the possibility of stadium tours in the summer. If I hear of any updates ill let you know. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much any other ground do not do tours on match days. Most areas are obviously out of bounds, eg dressing rooms, tunnel, managers office, media and perhaps the directors/owners box...take all that away and the tour is pretty meaningless. It’s a non match day thing if it is to have any content, which is what people want to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham/the London Stadium launched matchday tours at the back-end of last season though they only take place early morning (up to around 10am for a 3pm kick-off) https://stadiumtourbookings.london-stadium.com/booking/default.htm?tourType=11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
