I heard they had to be talked out of adding torture devices to every seat when they were redeveloping the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Watts Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 5 minutes ago, Redstart said: I sit with my son, he's under 19 in Landsdown Centre - looks like they have done away with the U19 in that section, are they saying he can no longer have that seat at all or we will have to pay the under 22 price for him to keep it. Shoddy if that is the case - we always sit together so if he can't get a guaranteed renew of his seat then I have to let mine go too. No, just that he has to pay under 22's prices.... which admittedly is quite a jump... He has a season ticket, so he'll be able to renew, but in the relevant price banding.

The Original OTIB Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 The lack of U19 and U12 in the Lansdown is either a mistake or blatant social engineering to herd parents with kids into the Family section. The hugely popular £50 Under-12 season card, including a free shirt, will continue in the South Stand and extended Family Area. Any Under-12 who purchases a season card in the Dolman Stand or Lansdown Stand lower will also be eligible to claim a free shirt, although the season card price is subject to a rise. What RISE AND HOW MUCH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm an existing STH in the south stand....I've a feeling that the two seats next to me aren't season ticket seats... Now, I was looking to get my twins their first season tickets this year, where do I stand? The ideal situation is to renew my seat and take the two next to me, but if I can't get my nippers until 20th that means I have to hold off renewing my seat until then....by which time I may have lost my seat and the two next to me if they are indeed not ST's already. Am I likely to be able to get my kids tickets before the 20th and therefore know what the hell I'm doing and where I'm sitting, or am I just going to be taking pot luck? If you're right in thinking the two seats next to you are not season ticket seats, then you will be able to purchase them both from 5th March with no problems. However, if they are season ticket seats, you would have to wait until 19th March, and hope they weren't renewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeeezusss - a £236 price jump just on his seat alone - makes it a Grand basically for the 2 of us to keep our seats for next season !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even though my nippers will be new STH's not renewals I should be able to take them? They're members, which don't go on sale for another 2 weeks as they only started going this season..... That's good news if that's the case though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenred Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Why has ST plus been taken away and what is this 'loyalty scheme' that's been added please? Can't seem to see any answers on it? That could prove pretty pricey on beer prices over the course of the season if that little perk for being a long standing ST holder has been taken away, as well as the benefit of first dibs on away tickets.

I’m hoping it’s an error, but I think it’s because they want to charge at least the U22 price irrespective of the age of the ST holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Cigar Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I've been going to the FAN meetings for over a year now. In response to Adam Baker's question about what we wanted to see with re to STs, I said "no increase in prices as a minimum." Seems this has been ignored. My season ticket will go up from £429 (plus £2 booking fee) to £499. That's a seat in the Lower Dolman, centre. A £70 increase is far far too much. Correct me if I'm wrong (I know I will be as I'm hopeless at Maths) but that's a 14% rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P'head Red Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 To clarify, the age categories refer to how old you will be at the start of the season, not necessarily how old you are when you pay for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
