Private Seat Licences

[Lush]

Now that we're reaching capacity and looking good for the Premier League sooner rather than later, is anyone thinking again about one of these - especially if you have a prime seat in a good position?

I can't imagine ever giving up my seat, but circumstances do change, and my daughter could easily move away at some point leaving her seat free. This would mean that I could transfer it to someone else.

When they were first offered they were £495 (or £39 deposit then £38 over 12 months). I can see this changing if/when we get to the Premier League.

Any thoughts? Anyone got one? Anyone bought one recently?

My brother has for his and our dad's seat. Seriously thinking about getting mine now.

What are the benefits of getting one?

Means you'd be able to sell on your season ticket should you want to get rid, rather than just handing it back to the club to sell on to the next person on the waiting list.

Is it something you can do at anytime? Can't see myself ever selling mine so I don't see the point for me. Got a right touch when I was moved to the East Upper in the summer

I have one just incase my circumstances change. I live in London and work away a lot so it's gives me some security.

Also means that if someone desperately wants one or two really good season ticket seats, they might pay you a few grand to take over your Private Seat licence (obviously they'd have to buy the season ticket on top).

What happens if the club changes the organisation of seats within the ground - say if your seat became a designated away area, or they expanded or moved the family stand?

Wasn't there going to be a website page for the buying and selling of these, in a sort of Albion commodity market stylee? Pretty sure there was a mock-up of such a page in the initial set of Falmer bumf. Did it ever get up and running? Not heard anything about it.

Still think they are not worth it.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Only ever going to be worth it if the stadiums full every week.

And they cannot ever move you from your seat. Whilst clubs generally offer the season ticket to the incumbent it's not unheard of for some clubs to reconfigure stands and move people. With a license you're safe.

I wonder how many of the original 17,500 s/t holders bought one?
The presentations in the glorified portakabin, finished with a slick sales talk from a financier plugging them.

I didn't bother, neither did anyone else I know.

I thought some were moved in the early weeks of the first season?

This is the theory anyway. If they had PSLs then they should check the contract.

 

[Weststander]

Unless there is a particular reason eg new score board or tv camera sighting, I think none of us will ever be moved.

I trust Bloom and co, to not want to upset s/t holders.

Since getting my ST last Summer, I've heard nothing about them apart from reading about them on here.

Club not keen to sell them then ?
