Visitors to the Stratford Reservation Centre today have been told less than 900 season tickets remain on sale for the Olympic Stadium and those are expected to sell out within days leaving tens of thousands on the priority list hopes dashed.
This week, the club confirmed it has sold 8,000 Under 16 season tickets for £99 each and a further 3,000 season tickets for band 5 at £289. The remaining 29,000 season tickets have been sold to band 1 £899, band 2 £799, band 3 £599 and band 4 £499.
3,700 seats have been sold to Corporate members and another 3,000 seats have been reserved for away fans meaning around 8,000 seats will be reserved for general sale and the club’s contractual commitment to give free tickets to Newham council of up to 100,000 per year.
The club still hopes to increase capacity to 60,000 and if the club confirms this will happen it will offer an additional 5,000 seats at band 5 prices of £289 each to take the total number of band 5 season ticket holders to 8,000.
At £289 it will be the cheapest season tickets in the Premier League.
mate of mine has a band 5 in the so called kop stand to one side of the goal. He is chuffed to bits with the view and reckons he had a better view than some who are paying far more in higher bands.
should just jump to the full 66,510 capacity if so many fans still want tickets
Ok the view might not be perfect but the price is cheap enough so im sure the fans wouldnt be complaining — if the view is ok for athletics and rugby im sure its ok for football
Or make a band 6 and basically give them away for a few quid a match.. better to have fans there spending money in the stadium
