I have no idea if it was sold out as I don't know what they consider that to be. However, it certainly wasn't rammed. Even at it's most busy, there seemed to be enough space to sit, quick to get served food, empty toilets and easy to get a drink. It also took a while to get to 'busy', probably just the last 90mins. However, I'm more interested in how many people actually paid for it! Or were a massive percentage in there for free?

The Fun Factory Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 It is still getting roundly booed every time it is mentioned at halftime in the ground. It is still going back to the fact that we had a facility that was free to use for season ticket holders, to something you have to pay over the odds to get access to. What is going on in the Holte Hotel- I never went in, is it still for lions clubs members only? That would have been the more obvious place to have a GA+ area, and just kept the Holte Suite as it was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I had a click through and I think it's mostly directors lounge and the other higher end hospitality areas - it'd be weird if it were Lower Grounds as Lower Grounds seat are available from the club at a much lower price - it doesn't sell out.

OutByEaster? Posted February 4 Moderator Share Posted February 4 Well that's mental - you can buy those directly off the club for a third of that price. An idiot trap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah £340 a pair directly from the club compared to there £847 Just as bad as Touts and the club shouldn't allow this kind of profiteering!

alreadyexists Posted February 18 VT Supporter Share Posted February 18 (edited) So if you book tickets for Lower Grounds where do you actually sit? Do you go in to the lower grounds bit of the Holte for the food and drink but then have to come out again to go to the Trinity or D E stand to go to your seat? That seems odd Edited February 18 by alreadyexists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as I’ve not been at all this year I can justify the cost to myself, just about. So how do you know where you’re sitting? It tells you your seat on the ticket, or do you choose before hand?

A mate of mine bought the tickets and to be honest I've not asked if we're actually sitting together. Am hoping so though. He didn't get to choose the seat but he got the tickets sent to him straight away and they were for the Trinity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I understand if you have a season ticket you sit in your normal seat and the cost reflects that. If you don't have a ST the club allocates you a ticket and the overall cost is therefore higher. I would guess that if you book as a group, the club would aim to have you sitting together. I might be wrong though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure how it works though. You'll get ushered through a route at half time to get to the bar and then ushered back. When I was on front row corner of lower holte I had them coming past me from Doug Ellis with stewards and other staff. I'm guessing will be the same with Upper Trinity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 If I'm in the North stand, and I win the ballot do I run across the pitch to get there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted February 28 VT Supporter Share Posted February 28 As mentioned previously, went to the Lower Grounds for the Forest game and thought it was decent. Would definitely go again. Seeing as I only go a couple of times a year, it would be worth the money. Pretty enjoyable experience tbh. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
