FlyingOwl Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) A box is a real luxury. I'm genuinely under the impression that if you have £1250 ''spare'' to afford such luxury then you are well in the money...and therefore have £2750 ''spare''. If I'm wrong I apologise. But they're not exactly spur of the moment purchases for when you're feeling a bit flush. They're not purchases that are factored into the average persons budget. I've always said that even if I had the money I'd never use a box. I don't see the big deal really. Whether it's £1250 or £2750 I don't think it's worth the money.

Cersei Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 In chanceys defence if you are smoozing clients in your box then it's a lot better to take them to a top of the table royale for PL glory than a mid table grudge match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 It's £275 a head for a game of footy and a 3 course meal. Again, chansiri is gambling that he can turn enough "part timers" into full timers, by making part time prices hugely unattractive, especially when compared to the deals for membership/season-tickets etc. We got a box at old Trafford for the rugby league grand final for ten people - £1k.

GoldGigsChris Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I normally have 3 or 4 boxes in a season and as my Owls fan son is unfortunately moving to Devon in September, I thought I'd give him a big send off with his mates and have a box for the Middlesborough game on 29th Aug. Last season, it would have been £1250.00 plus VAT for ten people and classed as a 'Silver' Category fixture. Not sure what Category it is this season but have just been quoted £2750.00 plus VAT. Sure looks like they're going to be pretty empty by the looks of those prices But if you're a member, the match is on a Tuesday, one of your guests is on the dole, its category C or lower and the wind is Northwesterly, it's only 1300.00+VAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppers Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I think I might get a box. I would also like season tickets for the 3 rows infront of my box. I don't want poor people near me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny when you are sat on the row in front of them and you think. That's a lot of money to sit behind that bit of wood. i sit there a lot because I'm weird and it amuses me. and if you sit on the stairs bit you have more leg room than them.

Its no different to everyone saying about the ticket prices. You have your limit whatever your income level.

That thought often occurs to me too! Essentially it works out per person this year at £3000 plus VAT - £36,000 - or £3,600 a head. Which means if you take off the season ticket price - makes the pre match meal worth approximately £130 each You can get 4 Pukka pies and Bovril for that next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point of my post was to highlight the cost the club STILL want following the initial prices they set, and althought they seem to be doing something regarding match tickets, the Corporate side, which normally does well during a season, is now a shambles. I can assure you, I don't have money like that spare at all, and thankyou for your apology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakowl Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Looking at the picture of the box it looks like they have been done up and don't look like the inside of a working mens club. http://www.swfc.co.uk/news/article/capital-one-cup-hospitality-at-hillsborough-2600833.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
