hatcheeks Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 i'm surprised at how quickly the tkts are selling on the south. Reckon it will deffo sell out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I get what folk are saying about pricing but with the extra restrictions placed on how many fans we are allowed in the ground these days, a sell out at the current prices of around 31k will enable the club to make up for the lost revenue of these restrictions. Looking at it purely from a business perspective, you can't argue with Chansiri on that front, he's maximising the income the club will generate.

That's how fans drift away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opportunity to purchase for friend or family before 'general' sale True, but what's to say said friend is even wednesday, just doesn't sit right that someone can jump the queue ahead of someone who may have 100 TPP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely pay it. To spread the seats out and give extra legroom you'd have to change the step configuration of each stand which would cost millions.

I'll be amazed if they allow Wednesdayites in lower West. With all restrictions attendance won't be much more than 30,000, it probably won't be our highest of season.

Lump On Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 I will be completely honest these prices are terrible, a parent taking the kids to football as a treat shouldn't be looking at paying up to £70 for the pleasure and a number of die hard wednesday fans have been price out there's no denying it. But after having p!ss chucked on us at the lane and given only 2000 tickets a time I honestly wouldn't be bothered if we charged them £100 a ticket. Just be thankful there won't be wee wee thrown.... maybe But the best one is they think where only giving them 2000 seats due to SAG Bunch of wet tuppies lot of em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if their 2,300 is the top half of the upper like Huddersfield's for the play off semi. Granted that was 300 less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our ground needs a serious makeover! Bar the ram shackles that are loftus road and Elland Rd I can't think of many away ends nowadays that you have 2 big posts in your view. Sitting on the Kop should be almost free for most seats. The corners need filling in - would improve the atmosphere no end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar the ram shackle QANGO that is SAG. Hillsborough holds 45k comfortably and safely. Stop buying the SAG line, 2 of sand and 1 of cement could segregate entrance to the west upper extending North and South concourses. However it seems SAG will always find a way of mittigating their past ineptitude ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
