Re: Bondholders seat selection april appointments
No suggestion at all of any limit and I was encouraged to bring a group when fixing my appointment. Bondholders just give names of who is attending with them but they seem happy to register extra names on the day when there.

Re: Bondholders seat selection april appointments
There are only 19000 seats in the lower tier, if I remember correctly.
If bond holders and current Band 1 STH's can buy more than 1 seat, this surely means anyone else will be in the upper tier.

Re: Bondholders seat selection april appointments
To be honest we focused on the lower tier as that is what we have at present and we are happy with it. You are heading into the 40s to get behind the 1966 and I'm in row 17. For me there was no need to gain on height but lose on distance. To be honest, a few more rows back would have been nice (ie in the 1966) but they don't do concession seats there and we have two of the £100 kids seats in our group.

Re: Bondholders seat selection april appointments
In two seperate emails and in the phone they told me I could only add up to three season tickets so they must have their reasons I guess. I only wanted the two extras anyway. I'm 19 rows from the front of the East lower. There's an aisle Seat on the halfway line and then I have the next three in to the left hand goal. So in close to some of you. I'm happy to post a photo too if someone can tell me how
Re: Bondholders seat selection april appointments
After all the talk about people not renewing their season tickets at the new stadium I can see only 'nosebleed' seats being left by the time it gets to my sons and I who are currently in Band three! :cry:

Re: Bondholders seat selection april appointments
In my experience you just need to keep in touch with the Stratford centre. Immediately they start fixing appointments for band 3 you want to pester them to get you an early slot. They will probably have allocated you a provisional date but no harm in trying to bring it forward. Don't wait for them to call you. They say they are doing it by proximity to the half way line but my case does not bear that out. The seat next to ours (my uncle's) had a call and we (my dad) had none nearly a week later so we chased them. Both were bond holders with an identical history and consecutive client reference numbers. If we missed the call then they had made no attempt to chase it.spuds wrote:After all the talk about people not renewing their season tickets at the new stadium I can see only 'nosebleed' seats being left by the time it gets to my sons and I who are currently in Band three! :cry:

Re: Bondholders seat selection april appointments
You have the equivalent seats to what my family have at Upton Park (they are in the upper tier but I'm in the Chicken Run)!!Si the Pie wrote:In two seperate emails and in the phone they told me I could only add up to three season tickets so they must have their reasons I guess.

Perhaps they are limiting extra purchases to two. In my case they were existing season ticket holders who just came along with a bondholder. The point is to allow groups to stick together. In the event, our group of 8 split into two groups of four as we had slightly different needs.
You have better seats than me but are close. I'm two rows forward and my block of seats run from the next walkway. Very decent seats, I think, although it is very hard to know from what they have shown us. Will not be an improvement on what I have at Upton Park, that's for sure!!
Would be good to see your view. If you upload the photo to a free hosting site (I used photobucket) and paste in the IMG link they give you it should work ok.

You Plus Two
As an existing Season Ticket Holder you have the benefit of applying for up to two additional new Season Tickets for the first season in the new Stadium. You will be able to choose the additional seats together at your group Reservation Centre appointment.

Thanks for the advice, duly noted and I'll certainly follow it.

Re: Bondholders seat selection april appointments
I had a call from the Reservation Centre today to confirm my Bondholder appointment next week. I was advised that while I could reserve my Bondholder seat, as a Band 2 season ticket holder I could not buy a Band 2 season ticket until July. They're only selling band 1 tickets at the moment.
On reflection this does not make sense. A Bondseat cannot be sold as season ticket as the Bond holder has the right to buy the seat on a match-by-match basis. So why the delay?
I'll find out on 6th May

Re: Bondholders seat selection april appointments
That's us sorted. Went for six seats in the 1966 section, block 136.
The guy who helped us said that WHUFC wanted to encourage fans to group together to try to get some atmosphere in the ground. The gooners didn't do this and sold new ST's in 2's and 3's which led to no atmosphere. Personally , I don't recall the Library having much of this before they moved.

Re: Bondholders seat selection april appointments
Official response from the club today stating bondholders are only being sold a maximum of 2 additional seats per bond...
So are the club lying or the posters stating how many they were allowed to buy? :lol:

Re: Bondholders seat selection april appointments
I know that's what they have said but unless I'm misunderstood one poster on the previous page suggested they got 8 tickets from just one bondholder?
Also suggested there was a group of 50 with only a handful of bondholders
If they are season ticket holders but friends with the bondholder, are they not jumping the queue and upgrading before their band appointment?
