With 18k new season ticket holders, I'd need about 20,000 to reject them to be able to get one. How likely/unlikely is this. Not too fussed as presume tickets will be a lot easier to come by this coming season anyway.
Yes, they do, but at an extortionate interest rate. If I recall it's about 50% extra for the year. Unless you have a poor credit rating you're far better off talking to your bank about a loan/overdraft or even looking into a credit card.Can anyone recall whether they usually offer finance options on the Season Tickets? I've never considered not paying for mine in full but could be tempted by finance this year.
Hit em with a leaflet campaign!!

Note as well that it is through a finance company rather than the club so not guarenteed.
I was a bit skint a few years back so just shoved it on a credit card and paid it off over 12 months, didn't pay buggar all interest that way.Yes, they do, but at an extortionate interest rate.

Have you tried getting to Wembley from pretty much anywhere outside of Wembley? Last time i went didn't get home till 3am on a weekday.

Looks like a drive to Watford Junction and then Overground might be the best route for me from Norwich. Anyone know what parking's like there?Oh I know, I went to the Champions League games and got back at 1am every time. To play devil's advocate, it's pretty much as bad for me from White Hart Lane where I live now. But that's kind of by the by.
However, both have very little to do with the likelihood of them being cheap though.
There are two ways of looking at this, £695 for a season ticket for 19 games is working out at roughly 36 quid, which isn't the end of the world by any means but will mean that there's no way tickets for general sale will be any cheaper than that. Its a shame considering the massive increase in availability, that they weren't able to make things even more attractive and ensure the place is filled week in, week out.
If they think we are gonna do 90k tickets for Hull or Swansea at 40 quid a go they are mad. I know the prices are categorised so it isn't as simplistic as that but I do fear there are going to be an awful lot of empty seats next season. Maybe not to start with while the novelty is still there but come winter and its Stoke at "home" on a Tuesday night...

It seems strange really, because I'm sure some of the Champions League tickets were less than that (think I paid £25 for the Monaco game).
Looking at that diagram, there don't seem to be any STs in the violet bits - could it be that they are going to be the cheap seats, but they aren't going to sell any cheap season tickets (then where there are STs the seats will be a similar price)?
Can't see how leaving empty seats makes the club money, especially when they lobbied so hard to get the full capacity for all games....
I've just read all that and frankly it all seems perfectly reasonable.

From reading the trust response the idea appears to be to have all the ST in the lower 'bowl' so for games they decide not to open the upper tier we aren't all scattered all over in dribs and drabs as this would dilute the atmosphere . Which is annoying as I actually prefer the upper tier
