I'm in phase 7 btw, so I'll be amazed if I get my preferred seat.
There are seated areas that are marked as being amended to safe standing if that becomes the law.Apologies if this has been posted but has anyone got a pdf of the new plan with prices and availability on it?
Also what exactly does"future proofed for safe standing mean"?
Does anyone think phase 8 people are still in witha chance?
Ahh well I don't think you can put it down to all new fans getting tickets but I agree to an extent. In fact it's a lot of the older fans that can afford it. Imagine being a young 18 year old? No chance.

Look in the PDF at the last two pages, what you're asking for prices is on there.

As opposed to an old 18 year old?
In a twitter poll of 2.5k 43% have said the prices are fine as expected. 37% said high 20% ridiculously high. The club would probably take that response. 43% surprised me especially reading here and twitter. I was expecting a £200 hike that’s pretty much what I’ve got.
8 of us in our group. 2 of them are newbies, ST holders this season only, so wasn’t expecting them to be seated with us as when the sales process started.
The rest of us (6) have all had our season tickets for between 14-25 years. Our LP range from 306 to 525. Always renewed on time yet 2 of us are ‘phase 4’, 1 ‘phase 2’ and 3 ‘phase 1’. 1 of the phase 4 lads did have a name change on his ticket but that was 14 years ago and he has 462 LP.
We were all hoping to sit together in block 209 or 205 but that seems unlikely now due to the varying phase sales. I have emailed the club regarding this and await their response...
I don't think anyone is begrudging a price increase but when people are experiencing at least a 30-50% increase on ticket prices that were already the second highest in the Premier League then they have a right to complain.Playing devil's advocate, or maybe just the devil for a moment, but don't we need to increase revenue from ticket sales to pay our players the wages they may get elsewhere?I appreciate United and City, and even Liverpool, may have far cheaper tickets but maybe that’s a demographic issue as well as the fact that City are City and Liverpool/United have far greater revenue streams from overseas. Just putting it out there, I’m quite disappointed too.
