Haven't heard of any plans to do this.
Prices are on the website Cat A £35 and Cat B £30 for an adult. Why post the prices for this season if they won't be for sale, it also says this price is frozen from last season, but I didn't think you could buy tickets for CFS last season??

Re: Cricket field stand

So long as they don't sell tickets in the home side of CFS other than ST holders. Surely the safety officer wouldn't allow that, given previous issues with Everton etc. It would be catastrophic if any away fans managed to get in there.
