Liverpool Football Club are delighted to announce a new match day hospitality experience for the 2009-10 season. The regeneration of Stanley Park has brought with it the rejuvenation of a once iconic Victorian Conservatory, known as the Isla Gladstone Conservatory, thus providing the club with a unique opportunity for the new campaign.

The Grade II listed building, named after the celebrated artist and print designer, is situated in Stanley Park and is the perfect venue for supporters to relax in style ahead of the big match - so why not be among the first to experience this wonderful new venture?

 

You'll enjoy a three-course meal, full-time coffee and refreshments, match day programme, a ticket in the Upper Anfield Road stand and the chance to chat to a former player.

 

Packages cost £165 per person (£185 for premium matches) - so what are you waiting for, book your place today.

 

I always thought the Upper Anfield Road was adult/child area ?

 

£165 for meal, coffee, refreshments, programme and a ticket.

 

A meal would cost me £25, coffee £1, refreshments (obviously not free ale) £5, programme £3, ticket £35 ?? For everything else there are two robbing yankees.

had they been premium tickets you might have thought 'well...' and then not bothered - but the upper Anny? Nah.

This kind of thing is inevitable until we get a stadium with more seats.

 

And you know they will sell.

Lost count of the number of times i've been to the match and had a few pints afterwards but full of regret even though we'd won the match. We've all thought the same if we're honest, 'if only i'd had a meal and coffee in the Isla Gladstone Conservatory'.

I'm not sure if it was a club ran thing but the last time that particular glass house was restored in the mid 80s there were matchday hospitality packages on offer too - think it was called the Crystal Executive Club? Sounds like a t1tty bar now!

Why is do people complain? Touts get that much or more for tickets and you don't get the hospitality package off the touts.

 

Keeps the wools and oot'ers in one place away from the regular pubs.

 

Job done me thinks.

I'd say as long as they make money who cares but it's blatently obvious none of it will go into improving the team.

And keep the tickets away from the local working class.

Good to know the local working class can afford touts.

They cant.

[downunder]

When the club doesn't do anything to gain more money they are slaughterd for not doing enough to get more money, when they do something they get slaughtered for ripping fans off?

 

They are in a no way situation.

 

(for the record I think it's way too much for what's on offer)

[fabfive]

They cant.

 

 

So your point is?

 

The same people who buy from touts are the same types who have the money to buy the hospitality packages.

 

The same touts who get their tickets from where?

 

I suggest you offer a ticket plan that is workable for the club. And when you do watch the whinging going on because you knock back one type of supporter or the other. This is why SOS doesn't come up with a plan to present to the club. Our own supporters whinge at each other because in the end someone always loses out or is perceived to lose out.

I must have missed the results of that survey.

Some people have criticised the clubs marketing efforts in the past.

I don't think any of those people would assume that the club would be so tight with its earnings that it would give the manager almost nothing extra to work with in the transfer market.

 

The main thing would be to build the promised new stadium so more fans can go and spend their money. Thats the principal way to catch up and get much closer to Man U's revenue.

I would like to know the number involved and how many adult/child tickets have been sacrificed as a result ? The kids are our future, get them hooked and they're hooked for life.
