[Albion] Introducing The Tunnel Club...

[schmunk]

Were 1901 members surveyed on their opinions on this?

No, it was only a couple of hundred.

 

[amexer]

Brighton must have one of the highest, if not the highest, “premium season tickets” to regular season ticket ratios. Anyone know how many 1901, Dug Out, Tunnel Club, Executive Box tickets we have in total?

Highest price or highest % of

 

[amexer]

What seats are they taking ? Are any ST holders going to have to move

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Ex-Patcham gal Katie Price to cut the ribbon at the grand opening of the TC?

City and Spurs do similar don’t they?

They both have something they call "The Tunnel Club". As far as I can tell, the Spurs one has the whole one-way glass look into the tunnel thing, while the Man City one doesn't have glass walled restaurant thing, you just get to line up along the tunnel as the players arrive.

Because I was curious, and the Man City website wasn't terrible descriptive, it does seem that they do actually have the one-way glass thing:



And for completeness, here's a video from Spurs' Tunnel Club:

They may be good seats, but you're going to get wet quite often when it rains, aren't you?

Warm but wet.

 

[Clive Walker]

Like others have said. Not for me.

Hospitality at football is ok but nothing beats the traditional pie and pint approach.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Waste of time if they can’t see the words to GOSBTS

Out

 

[Is it PotG?]

Not for me Clive, might appeal to some of the Champagne Socialists on here.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Highest price or highest % of

I’m thinking % not price. There must be around 2000 1901ers, then there’s all the other premium tickets. I think we gave 27k STH…that’s a big percentage.

There’s quite a few Guardian readers ..

Good question. Seats are above the tunnel….I think this is/was part of the pressbox?

Hospitality at football is ok but nothing beats the traditional pie and pint approach.

If someone was to treat me, fine, but as one of your more traditional working class football supporters this isn’t really for me.

 

[Official Old Man]

I can understand the club trying to make money and there's plenty of corporate money around. But I'm a pie, pint and queue guy at the moment. I'm out.

Got your umbrella stand and free coffee reinstated yet?

Was thinking the other day (when watching an Albion review), that these 'padded seat' reviewers are on a good wheeze.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Just like the hospitality lounges, it might have a certain novelty value as a one-off - if someone else was paying. But on a regular basis? It's a big fat NO from me Jeff

 

[BNthree]

Personally don’t get the whole going to football to eat thing. If I were to ever get 1901 it would be just to get a good view, sod a meal at football.

 

[Nicks]

Are they locked in for the full 90 minutes plus injury time ?

Are they locked in for the full 90 minutes plus injury time ?

At that price I would certainly not get the early bus/train
