Question Season tickets - couple of questions.

[Shr1mperBlue]

No, this isn’t about when they are going on sale!!!

I’m going to get my first season ticket this season. Me and my 15 year old. It probably doesn’t work out much difference as I’m normally at somewhere between 15 and 18 home games a season, but it saves me a lot of faffing around, guarantees us seats every match and shows my support.

Just a couple of questions I wonder if someone could kindly answer for me

1) Can they be bought online?
2) if I pick a rubbish seat where a pillar blocks the view of a goal, can I change it or do I have to wait all the way round to next season?
3) Any tips on picking a seat? Is there anywhere seats with a blocked view are listed. Not those seats marked as restricted view as they are back row of south upper or right behind a post, but the ones which are just in line with a post in direction of a goal for example? I hate having to keep leaning forwards and backwards all game to see the goal in some seats.

Thanks chaps

Depends really on where you and your son would prefer to sit

Go block V half way up in the west.
Near the blue voice so good atmosphere.

When I got mine years ago I went down to the ticket office. They noted some available seats (although now can probably see the availability on a phone) and we went into the stadium and I tried before I buy so to speak.

Also this....fair few years ago used to go with a member of staff into the ground and pick seats.

If its views you want then 1st three rows of the south upper are supreme.

Also - they will offer existing ST holders the opportunity to re-purchase their seats before offering on for new ST holders
Personally i prefer the West stand and have say in that stand for yonks. There are some poles in the way so you have to be mindful and the same in the East
Why dont you go online and have a look and try and narrow down and then pop into the ticket officer and ask them if they could show youn

We’ve tried so many seats over the last couple of years. In the West U and V block, East towards the South end, South upper too.

The only place I wouldn’t return is South Upper. West and East both have their up and down sides.

I suppose the question of ‘can I change if I make a bad choice, or do I need to wait a whole season?’ Is a key bit. If no chance of changing, I’ll dig out the tickets from previous seasons and see if I can remember how good the view was from certain games.

I went second from back row of South Upper late last season and every time I stood up I couldn’t see what was going on. I’m sure front rows are much better!

That’s a good idea actually. I did wonder whether they would literally let me see the seat first. As we all know, sometimes one seat left or right or one row up or down can make all the difference. Thanks!

Every season the club makes an offer for people to change their seats if they want to so i suspect if you wanted to you would be able to although i do suspect there will be a rush for ST when they go on sale and i think we may be selling a lot more than we have done in the past few seasons

Agreed - I think there will be a lot of people like me and if things are going well on the pitch, could be quite a few games where ticket availability will be tight.

Thanks for the info. Appreciated.

For you and your "child" son the family enclosure is a bargain. Your son's ST will, be something like £50.

Rows A to F don't have any poles in front in the East stand. Posts are just behind in row G

Yes, it’s good value for sure. Probably about £80 for him elsewhere which is still pretty good. I don’t think I could go back to the family stand though just due to atmosphere. Started off there and moved on elsewhere. Thanks for the message though, appreciated.
