Bris Red Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Never been in the Heineken lounge before, was just wondering from people that have is it worth the £90 and what is included in that price? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Its excellent, done it many times. You get a bottle of Heineken on arrival along with table for the afternoon. You then get your lunch, usually buffet style, but its good. A match day programme. Paul Cheesley is your host and there is always some current and old City players about for pictures and a chat Shown to your seat at 2-45 Half time some food on your table. After the game bar open to around 6pm. You will enjoy it. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betty Swallocks Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Always enjoyed it in there, not something I’d want to do every game but still a good day out. Decent food and a decent atmosphere in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 I’d say it’s worth it. I think others have highlighted the reasons why, but in terms of price - £90 seems high, but it’s worth considering that it includes a match ticket so your not just paying for the access to the lounge I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I find slight strange, aside from taking friends who don't have season tickets, the real cost to a season ticket holder is 90 quid, plus whatever you have already paid for your regular ticket (unless they deduct that from the cost). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hittheginger Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 I've done it a couple of times when it's been on offer, around £50-60 and can justify it as a nice treat to myself. It's an enjoyable experience, personally I wouldn't pay £90 for it though. 2nd note, nobody will force you to drink Heineken, thatchers is also available.

bcfc01 Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Been a few times when my mate books a table and its been a lot lower than £90, usually once or twice a season. Its good, I enjoy it, and makes a change from squeezing into my Dolman seat (although thats a much better view). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 It might be worth waiting to see if they do any deals. I have been in January a couple of times, it can be 20/25% cheaper, especially if we have a couple of home games in a row or draw a smaller club in the cup.

Nothing is produced anymore It seems to vary wether you get a reduction as a season card holder, sometimes I have sometimes not. They do have offers from time to time, most Black Fridays they have an offer to buy for any upcoming match and that’s usually a good deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes a cup game, as long as it’s not a top team, is a good opportunity to try out the Lansdown hospitality which is quite a bit better than the Heineken lounge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 39 minutes ago, extonsred said: How much more? Well for a normal match day there’s a few options starting at about £132 and going to over £200 depending how many courses, or if you want private tables etc but for a cup match I’ve been in before for about £60. It really is nice in there plus you get a very nice seat near the halfway line, whereas the HL you get a seat in the corner of the SS and LS, I’d prefer to be in my own seat than there.

Engvall’s Splinter Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 It’s decent. Your spit and saw dust lounge up to the Lansdown suite, which is still considerably better than many other lower league hospitality venues. Not worth £90. Typically paid between £60-£70 on the few occasions I’ve used it. Usually get booted out after a pint following the final whistle. Season ticket holders in our group have typically got a discount.
