All about the exclusive experience, exclusive toilets , hot snack and exclusive bar.Sounds like they're being greedy to me.
Unless I'm reading it wrong it'll be £15 a game next season, or £230 for the full season.
Can't see many wanting to do the full season but from my one visit it was priced right at a ST upgrade price of a tenner.
15 quid on top of the 30 quid....It's an absolute bargain for £15...
Well it depends…15 quid on top of the 30 quid....
23 x 10 is ?????????Sounds like they're being greedy to me.

Don't get your point.23 x 10 is ?????????
I'm not a big hospitality lover, but I may try some upgrade in some form at some point.Well it depends…
If you are a one game wonder, who decides to come to a non-promoted game and spend the day in the Heineken Bar, then yes
If you’re a ST holder then it’s £15 on top of your £16 per game or better still only £10 per game if you really love Heineken so much you commit to a full season in the bar.
Just imagine the fun you could have sat in there with Halifax and Phil, moaning about the price of fish
That sounds great BFC X3. Do you have to book ?If you’re looking for cheap beer, then Wetherspoons on the front will sell you a pint of nearly out of date ale for less than £2. If you need a cheap meal, then get yourself to the all you can eat Chinese Buffet and spend the day in there.
I think it may just be a walk in arrangement, but it’s probably advisable to phone them in advance, just in case.That sounds great BFC X3. Do you have to book ?
For £15 ?I was hoping they would combine this with M block seats as a permanent move to the South doesn't really appeal
Might do a few games
Tim will pay for all his WF mates to go in too…..what a guy!For £15 ?
Yes I don’t think you get pushed in for £15…they’d need to charge at least £25 for that to be viableI think it may just be a walk in arrangement, but it’s probably advisable to phone them in advance, just in case.
What? There's a much better, cheaper experience within spitting distance?!

Agree, I’m in M and can’t see any benefit in giving up my seat to sit in the south. Pity.I was hoping they would combine this with M block seats as a permanent move to the South doesn't really appeal

How much do you pay for your Seat in M Block?Agree, I’m in M and can’t see any benefit in giving up my seat to sit in the south. Pity.
Too much, £549How much do you pay for your Seat in M Block?
So bearing in mind that it costs £180 less to sit in the North, they could hardly offer a Season Ticket Upgrade for the Heineken Experience, plus a Seat in M Block at a price of £230, could they.... They'd have to make the thing a whole lot more expensive if offering an upgrade to a Premium Seat, which kind of defeats the object.Too much, £549
It's probably not much different to get to M Block as it is to get to Block X in the South, I'd have thought. I think I'd do that if I had a ST in Block M, as I don't, I'm fine with sitting in the South and wouldn't want to trek over there or pay extra to sit in that spot.... In all honesty, I prefer watching the game head on, rather than from the side in any case.I’m not sure it works BFC x3 . Going into the Heineken lounge and then walking half way around the ground to get to your seat
I did the main lounge U/G last season for the 1st time and thought it was great value.I'm not a big hospitality lover, but I may try some upgrade in some form at some point.
Tbh the south needs the vocal support
Is there any decent beer in the Heineken Experience? Beer that's just made in a normal way? Or is it an entirely modern industrial beer phenomenon, beer engineered out of corn syrup and a dash of hop extract? Marketed at modern corporate types who have been persuaded it is better, and who like paying more for less? All served in an airport lounge style setting?If you’re looking for cheap beer, then Wetherspoons on the front will sell you a pint of nearly out of date ale for less than £2.

It's just beer and a laugh with your mates, I'm not sure anyone takes it particularly seriously.... We had some kind of bottled lager last time...

Asking for a mate.
I’d say £549 is about rightToo much, £549

Incidentally, if you already sit in M Block, I doubt there would be anything stopping you from using the Heineken Facility and still sitting in your existing seats, it's only a short walk away.
It is, but I’d like everything to be cheaper.I’d say £549 is about right
I sit in front of it. It looks through the window like a gathering of sales reps in a conference room at a chain hotel with a golf course.I Have an intense aversion to all things corporate. It’s everything I hate about modern football. I’m still annoyed about season ticket holders being ousted from M block. And my experience of Heineken is not one that I’d consider to be an attraction.
However if people do like any of the above and are willing to pay extra for a few experiences then that’s extra cash to the club and they are making it very clear they are running it as a business making its own way in the world aside from capital expenditure projects.
When a hedge fund capitalist bought the club I should have known what to expect. The highest ticket prices in the division, airport lounges and shit beer.I Have an intense aversion to all things corporate. It’s everything I hate about modern football.

This can't be true, surely?The highest ticket prices in the division...
Going corporate in the old west stand at half time under Owen all you got were triangular cut sandwiches on morning pride white bread filled with egg and cress. Old school!When a hedge fund capitalist bought the club I should have known what to expect. The highest ticket prices in the division, airport lounges and shit beer.
Come back Karl, all is forgiven.*
* Not really.
Once you get into the Seat Upgrade territory (I.e. essentially adding another £15 on top of the Heineken price as is) I think it defeats the object of an affordable and more accessible option.The flyer says you have to move to the South to use
Maybe a missed opportunity but the flip side is see you replicating the 1953 ticket
You only have to look at the difference in goal celebrations from the north and south on Lee's videos or whatever.Once you get into the Seat Upgrade territory (I.e. essentially adding another £15 on top of the Heineken price as is) I think it defeats the object of an affordable and more accessible option.
As you say, other corporate options exist if you prefer and can afford to sit in premium seats.
In fairness, the atmosphere in the South could do with a boost and so 180 ‘Heineken Fuelled’ supporters is a great idea….
The trouble is we've now got corporate lager louts at one end, Muckers at the other, and away fans down one side. And chunks of the west for family and tartan blanket people with big pensions.Once you get into the Seat Upgrade territory (I.e. essentially adding another £15 on top of the Heineken price as is) I think it defeats the object of an affordable and more accessible option.

What’s a ‘normal everyday fan’ ?The trouble is we've now got corporate lager louts at one end, Muckers at the other, and away fans down one side. And chunks of the west for family and tartan blanket people with big pensions.
Where do the normal everyday home fans sit?
Sorry, I forgot if you sit in the north you have 3 heads. I take it if you sit in the north, you don’t go to work, you eat the bark off tree’s for your evening meal & drink frogs blood as a refreshing drink making you not an “everyday home fan?”The trouble is we've now got corporate lager louts at one end, Muckers at the other, and away fans down one side. And chunks of the west for family and tartan blanket people with big pensions.
Where do the normal everyday home fans sit?
A wide variety of people who don't fit the the categories of people I listed.What’s a ‘normal everyday fan’ ?
