When they first made the plans public back in 2008, they said that they would move sets of ST holders together.eggsoakley said:When the stadium is built I pray to the footballing gods that they keep the ST holders around me the same.

VirginiaSpur said:Good point.
We're just used to bigger stadiums here in the US. From our perspective it seems silly that bigger stadiums equal duller crowds.

I've always been interested in this VS.
How are the tickets for say a standard NFL game priced.
Imagine a fixture comparable to say Spurs vs Everton which was priced at it's cheapest at £39 so $60 roughly, for a fairly standard game.
Big fixture say le Arse or Chels priced at £60 at the min.
Is the pricing in the States similar to that of say the German Bundesliga (which has the highest average football attendance in world football I believe) which is said to be comparable to that of a cinema ticket for example?

The price of tickets in the bundesliga reflects the quality as well - I went to Hertha Berlin vs Bayer Levekusen in November, so two of the 'better' sides and the standard of football was appalling. There are better teams in the Championship.

People can only go to watch what's put in front of them.

First, the only reason they (they're all in their mid-30s) have season tickets is because they were willing to go to every home game in Champaign (some 200km away) while the Bears were having their home ground redone about six years ago or so.
Next, they had to choose between buying Personal Seat Licenses or not. These guarantee, in perpetuity, for a one-time fee, the right to a specific seat. The only way to sell them is on the Bears marketplace, if I understand correctly. The lowest priced license, currently, is $2900. They hit > $100k rather easily.
This is just the right to buy tickets to that seat, not the tickets themselves.
Non-PSL tickets require a $100 deposit (one-time) to get on the waiting list.
Prices are uniform across all matches (for season tickets holders certainly, but I think for all tickets). There is, as you can see, a wide array of pricing.
There is no such thing as away tickets, from what I gather, and I'm pretty certain that the Bears sell-out every game.
For the time being, it seems like German clubs get the bulk of their revenue from commercial sources--at least the three richest do:Blanchflower said:If the tickets were more expensive the clubs would be able to afford better players......you pay for what you get (admittedly with some exceptions)

This was talked about in the consultation process. The view was, and still is, that if we are to have a 'wall of sound' to create atmosphere, à la Kop, then that limits the capacity potential.VirginiaSpur said:Still think we're aiming a little low on seating with 56k.

Christ alive, and we think we've got it bad.
Surprised that it's only 61k seater though.
In yankie terms that must be pretty average?
Considering Auburn University have a capacity of about 90k...
Crazy.
