iamalagerdrinker Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Has anyone done it before, looking at the £75 option? Planning my trip down to Bristol with the other half and haven't been to Ashton Gate for 10 years! Wasn't sure if it's worth doing it or just sitting in the stands, £75 sounds like a steal if it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't, the it seems a bit strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoons Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Sit in the stands!! ive done it for my old mans birthday etc but if you haven't been to the gate for 10 years get in the real seats and experience the game from the stands!!

bristoldan19 Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 I went for the FC Twente friendly, loved the whole experience, good seat, really nice food provided. The service from everyone in there is excellent and they're keen for everyone to have a good experience! Would really recommend it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossi the Robin Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 £75 + vat = £90 food was awful and you get a free small bottle of beer No entertainment or Q&A just Adam Baker saying hi at the beginning Prefer just going on my standard ST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swanker Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Done it last season v Barnsley as a guest so didn't cost a penny. Open bar, was a great day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not hugely more than 2 adult tickets anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T R Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 At least you'll have somewhere to sit and have somewhere to put your food and drink at half time, not like us common folk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob k Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 My work has a box at AG and I have to say I really enjoyed the hospitality, as much beer as you want and great seats. Food was ok but what you expect for hospitality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepywall Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 I've done it and I'm more of standing on the terrace in the rain man but I thought it was fantastic, wouldn't want to do it every week but as a one off it was a great day .

Not expecting something for nothing, but if they have spaces in a mass catering environment, but if they could offset that for season tickets holders by reselling your seat it might be a more attractive proposition. We all have birthdays and special occasions to mark, but to pay twice for a ticket... not sold myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossi the Robin Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 The service was very efficient Its a good day out with friends but £90 is steep - they didn't state at the time that you could incorporate with your ST (this was last season v Ipswich so a rare 3 points was a bonus also) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheese, spring onion, red pepper and a healthy dash of Lea and Perrins, oh, and a few mushrooms that would have otherwise have been binned tomorrow. Seven out of ten; would make again.

The Heineken Lounge offers an upscale but not 'corporate ' day out. Good buffet, cash bar, DJ creating a lively atmosphere, Paul Cheesely hosting. I tried it for the Twente game and really enjoyed it. The Lansdown restaurant offers a more traditional sit down experience with 3 different rates: gold, diamond and platinum. I host in there, and we're aiming to have some quality guests for me to interview . Andy Townsend was in for the Villa game, with Norman Hunter lined up for Leeds. We're looking at getting in some proper City legends over the season. Things will evolve over the season, but @Mkellyis keen to create a quality day out for those who are prepared to spend a bit extra for a memorable day out.

However, you could save yourself £50 and see a better array of animals by taking her to the nearest PetsAtHome store, than Bristol Zoo..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
