Yeah, it does seem like that with some STs(no one on here,talking about blokes i know who have them for their Businesses),its a guarantee of the big game tickets.
It seems like a dream now, but my first season ticket i turned up at the ticket office a week before the season kicked off(may have been a fortnight) and bought one for £80.50p.
This was 88/89 and the first game was called off due to the east stand not being ready.It was Coventry i think.

Don't forget that the club get to make bonus money off the ticket exchange anyway as they refund the seller's 1/19th of their season ticket, and take the face value fee from the buyer.

I thought they paid back face value of your seat according to the category of the game. So you would get more back for Woolwich than you would Bournemouth,
I could be wrong, but doesn't a season ticket add up as less than the sum of its games if their face values (as you say, based on categories) were added up?
Even if that's not the case, I've seen that the ticket exchange lists every ticket as a standard adult, even if the season ticket holder is a child or pensioner - so there's another way the club can rake in some extra cash.
Yeah you're right, although I'm sure I saw
Nutter-Naylor
post that he saved about a fiver against buying each game individually. You're spot on about the adult only option on the exchange though. I agree that's a bit rich of the club.
When West Ham come they will see how similar it is to the OS and that “theirs” is slightly better
Yo can almost read the comments now.
I predict that every post will contain the phrase "looks like a toilet".
Yeah so many positives with the stadium. Outweighs the negatives.
My ST is in the North Middle and the concourse area is just too small with not enough food and drink areas so I get what the Brighton fans are saying.
This will be an ongoing issue for me and not just a teething problem as there is just no room up there and you can’t get directly to level 1 and 5.
It’s a bit of a pain.
But as
Guido 🇺🇦
has pointed out in the past that middle north may become corporate in the future. Which having been there now would make a lot of sense if they open into level 4 of east and West Stand. For now it really is too small for the amount of people there.
But went and sat safe standing area in 249 Tuesday night and got to the beaver town bar in about 30 seconds on stroke of half time and zero queue.
The lower south stand has got the best of both worlds. Lucky bastards!
So swings and roundabouts when you look at the overall picture.
I’m ridiculously impressed by the stadium.
To be fair, they're never going to praise us. You can just imagine the baldy little bastards frothing at the mouth with envy, though!
In fairness to them, if Woolwich / Chavski, Livershite etc built a new stadium, and it was impressive, I probably would find any reason to slag it off too - just the nature of football rivalry.
Yeah you're right, although I'm sure I saw
I think it is £3.90 a game based on 6 As, 7Bs and 6 C's. Assuming that is the correct split?
What is the split between the categories anyway? Anyone know?
I’d say it was a nice ground if it was one..
Fact is, Emirates, OS and City are just boring and soulless.
OS is on breeze blocks ffs, total joke ground
It's still hard to believe we've actually done it. After all the years it's taken, possible OS move, Archway Steel court case, not only have we built a new stadium but one where it still feels like the Lane when you're at your seat, got the acoustics right so it's loud and it's a stadium you genuinely want to have a few beers and something to eat it before and after the game.
For 2017/18 it was 6/6/7 (A/B/C) so you're not far off. I think at least one more became a B this season (Brighton, Fulham?) too.
Well in 17/18 it was 6, 6, 7:
Cat A:
Woolwich, City, Utd, Pool, Chelsea, W. Ham
Cat B:
Palace, Everton, Leics., Newcastle, Soton, Watford
Cat C:
Brighton, Bournemouth, Burnley, Huddersfield, Stoke, Swansea, W. Brom.
Stoke, Swansea & West Brom were replaced by Wolves, Cardiff and Fulham this year. And I think Brighton was changed to Cat B.
Not sure where that left the split this year but I can't pick one from the Cat B to move into Cat C, equally I wouldn't be surprised if Fulham had been Cat B.
If that were all the case it would be 6, 8, 6 But that's just me guessing.
EDIT
Beaten to it, same suppositions, and it appears I could have used far fewer words.
