Paolo Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Sadly if a small minority of people on here don't like what you post, you get called a hibby - but just ignore them Can't say I'm suprisied by the lower number of 1st day sales... but still think it will be around the 13k mark by beginning of season. Don't take it to heart. The way I see it, the moment someone starts slagging or abusing you, they have lost the argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clerry Jambo Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 re number of hospitality seats.

Boab Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 The 3,500 hospitality seats seems a bit exagerrated then. A bit high to be sure, Dave. If the first 7 upper rows are hospitality, that's around 200 a section. If N and T aren't hospitality, as has been suggested, that's 5 sections...around 1000 or thereabouts. Of course, the premium seating is in that figure so maybe more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seats towards the rear of the new stand in Q & R looked like they were available to anyone who held ST's for the old Q & R area's in the old stand.

Papa Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Renewed our 3 today in the new main stand. In Block R row 16 (and 17 for one of the laddies). He had been allocated a seat well away from me! We have to wait until 7 June to see if we can all move to a single row. Obvious that seats were allocated by computer I.e. No common sense. A bit disappointed as we will be further from halfway and still not together in one row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar the Horrible Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I don't think I can be bothered now, Its not going to get any better, but I will when we mount another challenge for the championship the following year. we will stick with Cathro way beyond the event horizon, when the new manager has no chance to repair the damage and another set of duds comes in. I do hope I am wrong but its a downward spiral and we wont win another game this side of Halloween Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 The 3,500 hospitality seats seems a bit exagerrated then. It is possibly me that has caused some confusion Dave. I was speaking to someone that should know and what I was told that once the new stand is in place the catering requirements will increase to around 3,500. I didn't ask the person to expand on that figure, but I suspect that in addition to the standard sort of hospitality packages there may well be other seated area food outlets within the main stand, possibly even around the stadium, depending on how they fully refurbish beneath the Wheatfield. It wasn't my intention to mislead anyone in my original post and I apologise if I phrased it in such a way that may have caused confusion, wasn't my intention. I know there will be 3 kitchens within the new main stand, which in itself does possibly suggest that in addition to the normal hospitality areas there may well be additional food/drink outlets needing food preparation. I've not looked back at my original post but I'm not sure if I said that there would be 3,500 stand seats taken up by people in hospitality, again I'm sorry if it came across that way, maybe a reminder that when you are getting tired it is probably best to go to bed rather than onto JKB and post, well for me anyway.

I think we'll do surprisingly well in the end. You can add to that a host of renewals waiting until the move date. There's 7 of us been allocated in P but would prefer them a tad further back. No point in doing anything until we know where we'll be put. I also believe we'll sell well. I'm thinking a glut of early impressive signings will push us over this season's total. Hopefully in doing so lock out a couple of thousand tramps in the Roseburn to boot. Not really fussy about the "Cathro out" mob who refuse to renew on those grounds. Don't think they'll amount to that many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kashmir Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 i went in on Sunday to buy my tickets. But, I wasn't too happy with what I was offered. Instead of 3 seats in from an aisle we were going to be put right in the middle of a row & I could not tell where in relation to the pitch that was going to be. I came away wanting to be able to check online exactly where these seats are compared to where we are just now, but like others have said - there is no seating diagram At the moment we are 4 rows back in the upper tier, almost in line with the away dugout. These are perfect seats just now & I really don't want to lose out on anything, we like all the folk around us as well. Does anybody know - are the same folk likely to be offered similar seats? Apparently according to the lady in the ticket office the first few rows of the upper tier are now going to be for 'Hospitality'. So, does that now mean we are now going to be even further back? I'm confused & really don't want to end up in seats that we don't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confused & really don't want to end up in seats that we don't like. I can't help with your question about aisle seats but I was told by the TO office that the first available row in Section S is Row 19. Anything lower than that in the upper stand is for hospitality. Different sections may well have differing configuration though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stirlingshirejambo Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 For those that are renewing in Roseburn but moving to main stand I got the below e mail from the very helpful ticket office which may be of some use I have to say they have always been excellent when we have had queries/upgrades etc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you are in the Roseburn stand you have priority to move so you can either renew your current seats in the Roseburn then when you move you pay the difference. Or you don?t have to renew and we will contact you between the 7th ? 12th June to buy a new seat/move current seats as you have emailed us originally telling us about your seat move. If you were to renew your current seats with the payment plan at the cat B prices they monthly payments would not change as once the finance is approved it cannot be amended.
