A few questions about Season Tickets (help please!)

KingMinger22 · 4th May 2008, 23:21

I'm finally finishing uni this spring and might be in the position to fulfil a life long dream and get an ST (well, share one!)

A few Q's...

Will I be able to get one in the stretty end?
(cuz I wanna be in the most vocal section!)

How much will it be roughly and when will i need to cough up by?

Any other advice/info please?

Cheers!!!!!

Cough up in early June.
I doubt you'll get one in the Stretty, everyone wants to relocate there. I'd still ring up the TO and try your luck though..
They range from 494 quid cheapest, to 912 quid most expensive.

Highly unlikely, unless you manage to "rent" it off someone for a year

How much will it be roughly and when will i need to cough up by?

PHP Code:


			
Stand                         Match Ticket     Season Ticket

North/South Stand Centre     £44/£20          £836

North Stand Upper Wings     £42/£20           £798

South Stand Wings               £42/£20             £798

North Stand Tier 2                 £38/£19               £722

North / South Lower Wings     £38/£19          £722

North and South Lower Centre   £40/£20                 £760

North East Quadrants Tier 2      £38/£19           £722

North West Quadrants Tier 2     £38/£19          £722

North East Quadrants Tier 1      £34/£17           £646

North West Quadrants Tier 1     £34/£17          £646

East Stand Upper                 £33/£16.50      £627

West Stand Upper                £33/£16.50            £627

East Stand Tier 2                  £33/£16.50      £627

West Stand Tier 2                 £33/£16.50      £627

Family Stand                           £31/£15.50       £589/£190

North Stand Tier 3                 £30/£15               £570

East Stand Lower                £25/£12.50             £475

West Stand Lower                 £25/£12.50            £475

plus price increase.

And a bit more depending on whether they are carrying on the auto cup scheme. Which I'm sure they will.

Any other advice/info please?

Enjoy it!

Cheers!!!!!

hope that helps

Aye but from what he said in the original post, i geussed it was out of his price range!

bazalini · 5th May 2008, 00:10

you never know - 4 course meal & Free Bar every Game. Also get a miniture Trophy for each game and usually an ex-player or two giving a story about when they played that team of the day.

For West Ham they had Schmichael and for Barca game they had Gordan McQueen. Was at West Ham corporate and was told about McQueen when there yesterday

Each to their own! I can see why some people do like it, but like I said its just not for me.

KingMinger22 · 5th May 2008, 12:06

so is there a place outside of the stretty thats noisy and i might be able to get a ticket in?

RedKaos · 5th May 2008, 12:13

I hope you dont mind me using this thread to ask a similar question KingDingle,

whats the clubs policy on issuing season tickets to those outside greater manchester? I understand that priority should be given to the locals, but i can easily make the commitment of seeing at least every home game - will I be greatly disadvantaged when applying?

East stand is the next best really, tends to be pretty good for big games, and you get some standing.

I'm pretty sure there is no priority to those who live closer...
You wont be disadvantaged in the slightest.
As long as they get your money, they don't give a shite where you live...

Christ no, if anything it's the other way round, though not officially of course! Maybe not so much for season tickets, but when it comes to allocation of member's match tickets, all anecdotal evidence points to them preferring those who live far away and only make the odd game - they're more likely to splash out on the megastore etc...

The club has no policy. In my opinion it should havem but it doesn't.

That said at the moment anyone who wants one (and can afford one) can get a ST so it's not really an issue.

KingMinger22 · 5th May 2008, 20:28

But I will be singing week in week out if I get one regardless!

Well I dont really mind where I sit to be honest, ive been to Old Trafford a few times and I just loved being part of the atmosphere, losing my voice and vocally contributing as much as I can.

I am a firm believer though that most tickets should be entitled to the local reds.
