Half price seats next season

Well, almost. They seem to have realised that the Milburn seats are way out of the lercalls price range

ewcastle have been forced to slash the prices of the controversial corporate seats which led to their fans taking them to court last season. United triggered angry protests from supporters when they announced they were moving season ticket and bond holders to make way for two new and expensive corporate seating areas. Some of the fans affected reacted by launching a legal battle and the adverse publicity created by the furore has seen many of the seats go unsold. So United have now slashed prices by up to 41 per cent in a desperate bid to fill the new corporate areas. Seats in the Bar 1892 area of the Milburn Stand are to be reduced from £1,350 to £795 next season and a place in the Sir John Hall Stand Sports Bar is down to £725 from £995.

Anyone fancy moving to the new lower priced seats?

I might move, but not to the corporate seats. My ticket is almost £500 and it's right at the back of the Milburn Stand near the away supporters. I reckon I could get a better seat for cheaper somewhere else in the stadium, but not sure how I go about it ?

Still twice the price of my seat. Who wants to pay that much for nae atmosphere, nae singing, nae crack and nae steward-baiting. At least we sing in the cheap seats.

Can I move near you Dread? Where I sit just infront of the Family Enclosure, it's been pretty dead all season. Thought it was the same all around the ground.

The areas on the outer wings of the Milburn(that are always empty ) are even cheaper at £750 per season . That's a mere £40 per game. THE ORFICIAL SITE has the new price list. I see though that they've taken away the free seats for cup games away from the package meaning they'll recoup £200 on each when we do a Liverpool next season.
