Looks like either we are adding some temporary seating or they have changed the ticket format as there are overflow options now around the corners .

It’s not additional seating; it’s to enable new wannabe season ticket holders to purchase a ticket in the stand of their choice at the early bird price, with seat numbers to be allocated once the deadline for renewals has passed (assuming they become available).

On the surface it’s a policy which makes things fairer for those who haven’t already got a season ticket. At the same time, I think it’s also a move by the club to put a bit of pressure on those currently on the fence who were planning to see how things go. In essence, if you don’t renew by the deadline your seat might already be gone and it’s the back of the Main Stand or the Osmond for you.

That's the way I read it. You get put on a 'reserve' list, so I don't think there is any new seating. The plan is a bit misleading.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Anyone know (before I phone ticket office) how you apply Mariners Lottery/Mariners Trust discounts if you are buying online?

Just give them your name, they have a book with all the Trust/Gold Bond members in it and they'll just cross reference your name with the book.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

Me too, and possibly hundreds of others do also.

It also feels like a good way to quantify potential demand for extra seating as well though.
