Looks like Norwich have S1E all the way round and to include some of E 1H.
There is a new divide in the ESL. If it's been there before I've not noticed it. But it means E1G can be used for home fans and E1H for away.
It looks like a 5 column segregation in the south but double in the east...
This is my reckoning too. So the missing seats are either:-
An unsoldout away allocation
Bigger segregation areas
Unsold 1901 seats
Unsold school shelf seats
Or a combination of some or all
Yesterday the club was advertising middle tier 1901 packages with dining or dining and booze. For someone who maybe bet on 2-0 Brentford last night with Clarke as the first goalscorer, this might be an option still?
We all like to see a big crowd and we will have one later.
Bit disappointing though that according to the club website there will be 29500 there. That means over 1000 unsold seats for a game that surely does not require more than minimal segregation. Why?
Bums on seats will be lower due to...
Maybe.
For the Arsenal game, Arsenal had E1H and E1G(along with all the south so had about 4500). There is a metal partition about level with the ESL south turnstile that makes those two blocks separate.
Maybe there is now another partition ?
Maybe the club have someone managed to offer this to Norwich. Supported by the £36 tickets currently on sale at Norwich.
If this is so, then maybe their allocation is larger than 2700. If not, then it should mean we can have a bit more of the South stand. If they have got E1H, I'll be...
Just 75 regular tickets offered for sale.
There are 69 x 1901 tickets in the East Stand still for sale and the club are advertising VIP Middle tier 1901 packages in the West to include a 3 course meal for £117 + VAT or £137 with inclusive alcohol.
There is now a facility for season ticket...
This is a very good point, but if so, how will they access E1H, as it shares the same ESL concourse and the divider, AFAIK only separates at E1G.
Also, if they did have E1H, it would suggest a larger allocation than 2700.
Less than 100 regular tickets remain
Not possible as we are selling E1G to home fans and segregation of the ESL is E1G AND E1H and would only usually be done to increase the away allocation to about 4600 in the event of a cup tie where we are obliged to offer 15%.
Can't understand why the remainder of E1H has not been released yet...
Currently available:-
South: 50 (15 pairs)
WSL: 48 (4 pairs in W1A)
WSU: 27
ESL: 31
ESU: 43
1901 ESL: 76
This is the first time we have seen 1901 seats offered on general sale for a game. Nearly all 76 seats are together so plenty of pairs. At £60, they are an £18 premium over the most...
10 additional seat in W1A just been made available. All in a line. Currently the only pairs that are not in the south stand
Edit: And another 8 in a row in the same block
I know they used to be given away. It was some free tickets at my sons school 8 years ago that re-ignited my love of the Albion.
However Ive recently seen literature from the club offering packages for schools and football clubs etc. They are heavily reduced but I don't think they are free...
The club know with 5 and half years of experience.
Against Norwich we have not sold out yet and although I think we will, I might be wrong. If we do it will be late on.
Against Villa we will have 500 less to sell, but I don't think the school shelf is used for evening games.
Also being in...
The minimum for us is 2000.
The reason we have given them more is we won't need them ourselves.
I think Norwich will sell out but I don't think Villa will. Better to have their money, a fuller stadium and a better atmosphere than empty seats
It could be, but there are too many variable we don't know the answer to.
But it looks like the club are happy with 5 rows. This is 100 seats in the S1F block and 130 if we stick to 5 rows in E1H.
However, at this time, the southern half of E1H has not been released for sale at all and there...
