Sorry for the delay in posting, I did not get away from the meeting untill 11:00pm, so by time I got home it was too late to go on-line with work next day....
Yes the increase is an average of 6%. That though means many will pay much more than 6%. If you are a kid in any area other than the North Stand your ticket will go up from £95 to around £200 unless you relocate. If you are an adult with no kid in the north stand, you will have to relocate as this will be 100% family stand so good luck finding a new seat for similar price. Disabled fans in the past paid a set fee wherever they sat, they will now be priced at 18-21 price group for the area they sit in, so any sat in the premium areas will see a big increase (well that was the theory, but as I said I was there to 11:00pm as I am secretarty of the disabled supporters association and talks are now ongoing to re-look at our pricing, all very complicated) The main headlines are that the stands will be tailored to the fans, so the south stand will have extra bar staff etc, north stand will be aimed at kids with meal deals and entertainment, from 2011-2012 level 2 of East and West will be premium area with very expensive tickets and a more upperclass environment, purchasing of tickets will be staggered, to stop everyone applying at the same time, you will get 7 days to pay for and retain your current seat for next season once your area is released. There will be a budget season ticket of £250 available to a limited number of fans, your seat will be allocated with no choice, but they will allocate in groups, so if 4 of you all want a budget ticket apply together.City Street looks great, there are a number of concerns around car parking as creating a fan experience outside the ground on Joe Mercer way will overflow into the current car parking areas around the City Store, also fans who park in north car park will have to fight their way through the fans using city street. Metro link will drop fans off close by also, so will away fans decamp at that location and walk peacefully through our fan friendly alchol serving little village..?? We will have more meetings with the club to look into all this soon.
