Everything is done and Quinny is ready to post them as I write this. Unfortunately the OWS is undergoing essential work and we are unable to post anything until that process is complete.

I have been on the phone to Derek a little while ago and we are expecting the next update at around 3.45pm. We will continue to monitor the situation and get all of the much anticipated information to you as soon as we can. We are unfortunately beholden to others as we don't host the OWS in house.

Please be patient for a little longer.

No discount for early bird premium seats? :(

Maybe they are padded and heated with vibration if required :lol:

CC will be happy about the availability of parking spaces ~ I hope!

have we got any life long season ticket holders on here? it's actually a very good deal and your allowed to pass/sell it on to a family member :shock:


just think £2000 in 20yrs time if you can afford one would be a very good investment

£12 for students? Its hard enough to try and persuade friends to come at £10 never mind £12! I think its a missed opportunity with Lancaster Uni on our doorstep as well.

The cheap child season tickets are great and definitely encourage a lot of people to watch the club - but it is a fact that people drop out after 16 once the price more than trebles (for a season ticket). In my group of friends I am the only one left who regularly attends games now.

If we consider Accrington our peers, they do student tickets for £5!

We will be letting you know later this week when the tickets are to go "on sale" and the priority purchase system we will be allowing regarding current season ticket holders. There will of course be a plan of each section and one overall so you can view the seating arrangements prior to your purchase. You will also be given the opportunity to "swap" your seat (within the same block) should you decide to after the first couple of games.

The Chairman and Board were very specific in their wish not to exceed the £400 level for a MFC Season Ticket. If you look at the maths 19 games (incl 4 free) x £22 = £418. We have therefore levied a further discount to the £399 price. The premium area are the best seats in the house and with the access to the Wright & Lord suite included, we believe this area will be very popular.

Happy???
I'm delighted in orgasmic proportions.... :D and the Saga Crew will be looking forward to using the Wright and Lord suite.

Just have to agree with 'er in doors to be a bit frugal with her spending... :o

Well done to MFC at keeping the costs to a reasonable level.

Will there be an opprtunity to actually visit the ground before the end of the discount period? My family are reluctant to buy without getting a feel for the surroundings, but also don't want to have to pay the higher prices.

Yes, it's a firefox issue, as the page opens in IE without the picture of a season ticket booklet, latest article & latest video sections which are obscuring the article text in firefox.

The Globe Arena, as I am sure you are aware is a building site. The completion date is mid to end of July. Until this time Globe Construction are in charge of the site and all of the H & S issues that go with it.

It will therefore be impossible to have any form of mass inspection, because you can't do it for certain individuals, therefore you will be purchasing your season tickets from a picture. You are however being given a bigger discount than previous years in 6 games for the early bird offer.

Have to agree with you there. Only three quid difference from full price. Maybe the club can do some two-for-one offers for freshers in October or even lay on a few free buses. As much as people will moan about them getting something on the cheap, the more through the gates the better I say. Suppose they can still go on the side if they want an extra pint instead of a roof!

Overall I like the look of the early bird season ticket prices but unfortunately they come at a bad time for me as I have loads of outgoings in the next month or so. Would have prefered matchday prices to stay as they are just to see how much (if any) the crowds would go up by. Still, could be 15 quid for L1 football! :lol:

What about away prices will we be fleacing them the way we are when we go away? Sometimes up to 25% more than home fans?

I'm liking the look of the prices - but are there any "payment plans"?
I am in the situation through other commitments with work etc where I can only get to about 15 home games in a season which makes the season ticket not worthwhile, but the life season ticket is a possiblity - but not all in one go!
Any information on this will be gratefully received.

Thanks

Prices on the whole look fair, my only observation would be that there is no incentive to buy a junior an adult season ticket in the c block as it would be cheaper to pay on the day as a child, which is a bit daft.

You can only transfer it within the first ten years of ownership.

You're not wrong there, they seem to have come down in price £500 from two years ago!

Map of new ground now on official site .
But don't understand how you go about reserving a seat .
If you want a seat in say block B or D how do you choose weather you sit at the front or back,will each block have a more detail seating plan available ?
