Only £975 plus VAT for the season.

 

If I could be arsed to trawl back through my posts I'd link to the one where I said this was happening and launch myself up the Saintsweb ITK league to at least a Europa League spot.

So who are the wealthy among us who can afford to spend over a grand for this? Names please.

I'm going to be buying two when really I only need the one.

[Pancake]

£61 per game. blimey.

Does it guarantee a win when compared to other seats?

That's almost 2 days wages if I factor in flights as well I might not be able to afford it.

[Tokyo-Saint]

Sounds a lot like Arsenal. The boss at my old company had these seats but with a meal and a couple of drinks included. I was able to go a few times. It is a 'nice' experience, especially after work, few red wines, comfortable seats, watch Arsenal win. Not really going to football though. I expect many will take this option though. I am surprised there isn't a higher option with a meal and free drinks included. I believe the Arsenal one costs about £5k.

[The Cat]

Putting this in some sort of perspective, Arsenal's cheapest season ticket is £985 according to various newspapers (although it includes 7 cup games too)

Luxury for the riff raff.

I'm planning to buy for my entire extended family, plus a few imaginary mates.

Exactly. For those sort of prices and with the opportunity to "kick back" you're bound to get a few crustys from Shirley lowering the tone.

Philip M Diaper

 

What is it with the name Diaper? There's cack loads of them around here in Hamble and Netley. Never hear that name anywhere else. Half of them do look inbred though.

[DJ_TOAST]

I'm getting one. Is gona be so nice not having to mingle with those disgusting common poor folk anymore (ie most of you).

[PokingFun]

I'd imagine this will be purchased in the main by smaller companies looking for a way of doing cheaper hospitality for their business partners and employees.

There are Diapers in South East Wales too, there's a coach company named it.

[Blandford saint]

We went as guests in these seats last season, then realised that our season ticket seats were much better in the middle of the Kingsland opposite the directors' box, so swapped over at half time! Better atmosphere as well, with your mates. Most of them were quite a long way at the back of the stand.

Theres a joke about long distance travel there somewhere.

[kpturner]

I am tempted.

Great news as I'm sure you are on my Family Tree as a second cousin! PM me when I have to collect my Golden Ticket!

[John Boy Saint]

Thing is though if I read that right, Prawn Sandwiches and Chardonnay, Ruby and a Pint, are all on top of the £975 plus Vat

 

"Club Lounge Members will have exclusive access to a cash bar facility, with food and matchday programmes also available to purchase"

 

So you get to sit on padded seats, just like at MK Dons and have to squint into a setting winter sun to watch the game.

 

The upside is at last there is a specific Season ticket for the Southampton supporting fashion Police, who abhor rubbing shoulders with the Replica shirt wearing hoi polloi!

 

[doddisalegend]

Ahhh good old football...the working mans game:lol:

[Saint-scooby]

I know a few that will take this up, as stated above its a good way of entertaining clients and staff.

You pay the money to avoid sitting next to some toothless f*cktard from Shirley and at half time joining a scrum just to drink some weak as **** lager out of a plastic beaker on a cold souless concrete concourse with a bunch of chavs.

 

I find the atmosphere in the corporate sections dull but I can see why some people prefer it. It's about time there was something between the full corporate package and the scummy normal experience.

Does anyone else think the branding "luxury membership" is a bit naff?

 

Does Nicola give a little nod and Sibley appears with a pyramid of Ferrero Roche?

My cousin has one of these tickets at Brighton, he has a great seat and a pint waiting for him at halftime.

I can. But I'm not going because I like sitting with my mates not a load of posh, boring JCL c*nts with no idea what is going on on the pitch.

[Saint J 77]

For that price you'd have to hope the answer was Yes

[krissyboy31]

The good news is a Matchday programme will be available to buy.

[Pedro]

Good to see the club maximising our return to the PL. Get as much income as possible to help fund the wages. No hangers on for NC, ideal solution between corporate and season tickets. Me and my mates (pensioners) can afford it but prefer our seats and the company of friends around us that goes back years from the Dell, wouldn't change that for any luxury.

[Mouldy Coat]

Main pros and cons for me are

Cons = more jcl's, worse atmosphere/less vocal, more money,

Pros = better view, probably far less queues for beer and toilets

 

I must admit queuing at half time will be horrendous again, so it is a good idea by the club

So basically the premium you;re paying is just a toilet tax.

One of Southampton Diaper's a stoker on Titanic and survived. My family are from Suffolk (but probably still inbred)

This is the first step on the way to the flexible, easy jet style pricing that certain posters were so keen on. This version of it gives ou acess to the Channon suite and posh toilets. Stand by for more flexible pricing offers from SFC, giving the game back to the fans.
