I agree....I don't even bother trying for half of the games.

I WANT A SEASON TICKET.

p.s. ironically as I mentioned on another thread I watch Bristol City quite abit (cos I can always get a ticket there!)...& a season ticket in the main stand, in the middle of the pitch, is £380 a season...I repeat £380 a season...for a Div 1 team...that my friends is an outrage.

How much is a season ticket at Anfield?

Mine was £610 this year

there is a big waiting list for season tickets.

when the new stadium is built there will be more season tickets availiable. the thing is how many people on this list would take a season ticket, some people wouldnt be able to afford one, others might not want one due to other commitments (moving away etc).

so i think 60000 will be plenty big enough. arsenal wont sell out every game after this season it will only happen this season coz people wana see the new ground

Why?

As someone without a season ticket, let me tell you, it is hell trying to get tickets if you don't know anyone well connected. If they don't all sell out, where do they go?

Sometimes its the actual method of selling the tickets that's the problem. How often have you heard stories of people waiting on the phone for ages trying to get tickets for a game? Loads of times I suspect. We've probably got two old dears called Nora and Dora answering the phone and doing the numerical calculations using an abacus !!

Trust me - 70k seats is too many - especially for midweek games against poor/mediocre opposition. People may say that if/when we're successful there will be a clamour for tickets - but history indicates that after a while the fans become blase about success and gates go down.

60k is about right in my estimation.

i think more tickets should be availiable online, along with a decent server which can cope with demand

So far this season the online ticket sales has been better than previously.

I think they've learned a lot from prior years.

im sure people would rather queue on net for tickets telling them where in queue they r like the fa system than keep having to redial on the phone i know i would

Hopefully the club will apply some logic to the issue of additional season tickets when the new stadium is built. i.e. some for of loyalty so that people who have been PTS members for years and gone to games etc actually get preference over someone who may have put their name down on the 'waiting list' some years ago.

I also think that the club are holding back on developing the ticketing infrastructure because Anfield could be knocked down in the next few years.

I had more credits and loyalty on my PTS fancard last year than a lot of Season ticket holders. Plus the away credits on me ST. I heard before that they were planning on doing this sort of thing. Hope they do.

I would've thought the online piece would be hosted elsewhere?

[stevenage_kop]

Wasn't the ticket office at Anfield? I think the main complaint was that the phoe system just couldn't cope with the incoming calls.

I've only got the ST until the end of this season. Then my mates kid is using it cos she'll be old enough. I shall still be able to use it for away games though like Lasty uses my friends other one.

[stevenage_kop]

cool. do u reckon with a larger new ground they would increase the pts membership and tickets availiable to pts

[Mumsafan]

They would probably just start by increasing the STs . Many PTS members would therefore become ST holders and leave free spaces.
