In addition, there will be a fully stocked cash bar facility available in the 1867 Lounge through the evening, including a guest real ale.

Dan™ Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) I haven't made any comments regarding ticket prices this season, but I think £10 is a bit OTT to sit in the cold on the north to watch TV. I'd have paid that, or perhaps £15 at a push, for one of the indoor lounge beambacks, but most likely not to watch from the stands. Fair play to them if the numbers turn up at that price though I guess. Edit: Then again, I might not be taking this game as seriously as others are. My interest in it is comparatively way lower than the likes of when we've had the two Sheffield Derby beambacks which were fantastic events.

shandypants Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 How can anyone complain about how much is being charged for the beam back? They don't have to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Is it just me or will watching the screen in the corner from the North Stand be a bit of a squint job? The "giant" screen still doesn't seem all that big to me (may be my old eyes). Fortunately I'll be at Stoke anyway, but if I couldn't go then I'd think twice about going to this beamback. I went to the one against the pigs when we won 2-1 and had the screen on the pitch in front of the South Stand and that wasn't too bad, but the existing screen seems a bit far away to be watching comfortably for 90 minutes.

I take it that you refer to the text that is displayed on the screen, which is just visible for me from the Kop, however, if you are talking about anything and everything that is displayed on the big screen then I am sorry to tell you that you have a problem pal.

shandypants Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 £3 max in all seriousness; it is priced at half the price of the tickets for the actual game. I think that's quite a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingOwl Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Can't believe people are moaning. You don't have to go and £10 is fine...considering they're opening the concourse too so will have to pay staff there, as well as stewards. You're not going to be able to watch the match, legally, anywhere else. I'd be going to this if I didn't get tickets for the game itself. Next best thing.

EL CID Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Well done to the club for this , the Derby beam backs were a big success, all be it on bigger pitch based screens. Can't fault the pricing to be honest , hopefully get the right result . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomtheowl Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Use your heads those complaining, the club has staff costs to cover as well as a certain amount which will go to stoke for the rights to stream the game, its not all Wednesday trying to make money! if you don't wan to pay the price then do not go and sit at home like you first intended to!

UTO1867 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I've no problem with the price at all but i couldn't watch the screen for an entire match, it will be like watching a mobile phone at 15 feet. Get some screens on the pitch Mr C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Cracking idea and a good price. Great that we have this facility now and you really don't have to pay if you don't want to. Should help fund Hoopers wages for a week and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
