I've got 8 tickets for the side stand (direct golf) lower tier which say unreserved seating - i now hear that the lower tier is sold out

On the Hudds board they say that it is unreserved seating but only for the seats without 'Giants reserved' on them (reserved for season ticket holders)

How can they expect to control this?

Wont we be getting Hudds fans demanding their own seat?

Can only imagine the away end will be chaos as well. They've no doubt left a few hundred seats left unsold, but even so...

Only if you are stupid enough to sit in seat that is clearly marked as reserved. An unreserved ticket means you can sit in one of the unreserved seats, all reserved seats are clearly marked "Giants Reserved". However as a guide, there are four sections on each side of that lower tier. The vast majority of reserved seats are in the two sections closest to half way, there will be some unreserved in those sections but very unlikely 8 together. in the two sections closest to the traditional away stand there will be very few if any Giants reserved seats.

Would you expect Leeds season ticket holders to not be allowed thier usual seats if you were at home?

If you sit in a seat marked "Giants Reserved" you should not be surprised if asked to move.

They are only allowed to sell tickets for 90% capacity when seating is unreserved. Whether you are down the side or behind the goal, get there early and you will get a better seat, leave it until late and you will be low down close to the corner. Not really any different to picking your spot in the South Stand I would imagine.

Well, Leeds don't sell unreserved seats so we wouldn't have this problem. But in a cup game, yes. Sometimes people don't get their seats. It's because their seat is for the league, not the cup. What happens if say 500 season ticket holders haven't actually got a ticket for tomorrow's game? Does that mean there will be big gaps in the middle of a sold out stand? IMO Huddersfield got it wrong when they made the direct golf stand unreserved and I was shocked when I bought my ticket and asked for as near as the middle as possible, only to be told it was unreserved. Knowing they already have reserved seats for those who go with their season ticket in their pocket, they should have allocated seats and given these Hudds fans the opportunity to purchase their own seat like the bigger clubs do.

A lot of fans will be unaware of this "reserved" thing with it being a cup game and the ticket saying unreserved. All I can see is trouble coming from it.

Have Huddersfield even released anything about "Giants reserved" being in force for tomorrow's game BTW? If so they should have really put it out on the Leeds website.

Ticketing arrangements are exactly the same as for every other Giants Home game and really not that difficult to understand. If believe there may be a problem and are anticipating such, why would you still go and sit anywhere without thinking about it?

To put in context, there are approximately 2,300 seats half of the lower tier in question. I don't know exact numbers but no more than 800-900 will be "Giants Reserved" and only about 2,100 tickets issued. So the issue is something of the order of fitting 1,200 people into 1,400 seats. It is surely only a problem if you are determined to make it one.

It is not within Huddersfield Giants gift to put anything on Leeds Rhinos website.

then i guess they will be happy with the disturbance that might result due to casual fans only going cos its £8, had 6 pints and refuse to give up their 'good' seats as 'their' ticket says unreserved

Hudds RL should make it clear to traveling fans beforehand and certainly on the day itself

I'm not saying this to get a reaction off you, but it really shows how small time your club still is when you think everything you said above is acceptable.

As far as every league game being unreserved, this isn't a league game and you don't often get 1000 or so away fans sat with you lot because they have sold out the away end and need more room. At £8 a ticket, surely higher management would have realised tickets would sell well. Allocating tickets for the main stand would have given season ticket holders a chance to but "their" seat and would have saved any confusion on the day.

As for you saying the Giants have no responsibility to inform away fans. What planet do you live on? Leeds inform away fans (and home fans) if theres a big game about any restrictions and so do all the other top clubs if they know there will be a big attendance where issues may occur.

Like I said, it's not about using your head when it comes to the "reserved" seats as this isn't a league game. That's why the big clubs give their members a chance to buy their seat before everyone else. If they don't take it up then they lose it. What's to say every season ticket holder turns up tomorrow? If the stand has sold out and there are more tickets sold than seats available then what happens? You may get people looking for a seat when the only seats left say reserved because that season ticket holder has decided not to buy a ticket.

It all just seems silly and small time to me.

icon_biggrin.gif oooh thats going to be fun especially if its very close to selling out and the usual pattern of "lets not go onto the stand until the very last minute" happens and you end up with groups of people with beer inside them trying to sit together only to find that they have a rubbish view or their mates have to sit fifty yards away icon_biggrin.gif

Its like the budget airlines unallocated seating on a full flight - there's always some who b1tch and whine because they can't sit together.

Lets be honest, its unallocated seating because its too much bother to try and control it any other way.

By the way, its unallocated seating in my living room, but get there early because the dog likes to spread out a bit on the settee.

If tickets were sold for allocated seating Leeds fans would've got tickets for blocks 1 and 2 which coincidently is where we are asking you to sit in as blocks 3, 4 and 5 have reserved stickers on the seats not rocket science.

The stewards will be briefed that, despite it being unreserved tickets for all, they will need to direct Leeds fans away from the middle blocks to the wings towards the south end and advise people to not occupy any "Giants Reserved" stickered seats as in normal league fixtures. Giants fans are always told to bring their season tickets with them if they want to have their usual seat, it's easier to do it this way than sell them an actual ticketed seat when selling alongside unreserved seating as in league games.

But as the ticket says "unreserved" they can't actually make you move. Do you see what I have been saying previous about it being silly?

I am going with 2 guys in their 70s and will be getting in the ground at least an hour before kick off. I won't sit in "reserved" seats but I have no intention of sitting in blocks 1 or 2 because with their age, we want to be as central as possible.

Lovely stuff.

I'm glad thats all sorted properly.




Just one other question for anyone - is this the stand that you can see from the TV camera position ?

You may think it's silly but it works at both town and Giants matches. You may find it difficult finding an unstickered seat as central as you require though as the area you're in has the most stickered seats I'm afraid.
