Dangerous Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 My son and myself sit in the north lower at the moment.due to it being a bit quiet,me falling out with some of the people near us,my lad wanting to sing a bit and his mate and his mates dad want to get a ST with us we are going to move. We are looking at moving to the east stand but it will need to be category D,so its the first couple of rows. Has anybody sat in these seats or near them? Can you recommend them or is it not a good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you recommend them or is it not a good idea? NE corner upper is Cat D too. If you renew where you are and relocate then you shouldn't pay any extra. I did this last year and kept my CAT D renewal price for this year and can move within the NE upper for free. There is some singing in that Block on occasion too. just another option for you- if you do have a look at getting seats half way up the upper tier. I think that if you relocate to an area that was CAT D last season you shouldn't have to pay any extra I would suggest asking the ticket office where you can relocate to for free. But renew first and move during the relocation period. We have been shifting seats for the past few matches to try new areas, there are seats available in the NE corner and you should be able to move there for one game at no charge.

The 1st 3 seasons at pride park I was Sat row BB in the East lower near the enterance, in line with the goal line, the view was brilliant for South stand action but the opposite corner was ok you can see what is happening but a bit difficult to see where the lines are. I would recomend sitting there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I would also add that if you did have to move up a category to CAT C it would cost £85 per adult and nothing for kids because you would pay the difference between renewal prices.(as kids prices are the same or free for under 12 accompanied by an adult).

Unless you have a load of knock off fake Stone Island jumpers, burberry scarves and a sack load of copies of the latest Danny Dayer movie..

Unless you have a load of knock off fake Stone Island jumpers, burberry scarves and a sack load of copies of the latest Danny Dayer movie.. its not all like that atall thats just stereotyping I sit in the south east corner lower just by the corner flag the people that sit near me are all a pretty decent lot apart form a few that annoy me by turning up 5 mins late for every game then going to the concorse 5 mins early then come back 5 mins after half time kick off (i'm end of row for the extra leg room) that annoys me abit but its generally a good place to sit infact there is a gent that sits next to me with his young son & daughter so there are families in that area too. This is my first seaon down there previosly I was east upper near the press box but I am renewing the same seat this year as the atmosphere is really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Has anybody sat in these seats or near them? Can you recommend them or is it not a good idea? We sit on the 5th row from the front of the East Stand (towards the SE corner) The view is brilliant in terms of being close to the action, but you don’t get the same perspective on cross-field and diagonal play as you do when you’re higher up in the stand You get used to it and you don’t miss it – it’s actually a lot like the view from the dugout and if it’s good enough for the managers and coaches...

I would recomend sitting there Have to pull out my old ticket as I guess we were probably on the same row. I was in line with the halfway line, think it was BB in the east lower. Nice view (if it rains, you just about get wet - right on the edge of the roof), but maybe a bit quiet from the singing/chanting side (but not too bad).

sage Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 The trouble with sitting on the front 2 rows of the East Stand is you spend the last 5 minutes of every game trying to see past all the early leavers who have to walk across the front of you as they leave. It's why I moved from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therams69 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Cant believe Dangerous no one has yet suggested North Stand Block A !!! :confused::confused: No, seriously, sounds like your lad and mates want to sing a bit, well North Stand Block A is the place to be!!

Good luck pal whatever you decide and hopefully you will fully consider our area before making your choice! nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I've sat in row GG just up from the corner flag for the last 7 years, about 4 by myself as my mate never renewed when I did. I love sitting there, the view when the balls up the other end is a bit poor but I'm prepared to sacrifice that as the ST costs £180. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried before the game by phone and went to the tick office. We sat in block B last game looked over and saw two or three rows empty and wondered why we had been turned down?

Ayup matey, Hmmm, bit unsure why that was? We have our area blocked off but they do sell tickets for our area for fans that want to sing etc so you should have been allowed in... The only game we were full for was Barnsley and that was because of the sun newspaper offer! Are you trying for the Cov and Leeds game? If so and you do encounter any problems just say you spoke to me, if you still get problems email me at webster23@hotmail.co.uk and I will sort it for you pal....

Nick Cheers mate we are being a bit sneaky can't afford the £85 extra upgrade so renewing my seats in the cat D and then moving each game. We tried for Swansea and it looked from where we were some seats for the Barsnley game we needed 4 on both occaisons but the computer said NOO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammieib Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Ramblur One question - Match Tickets of £6.5 Mill - assuming an average gate of £27,000, this works out over 23 games to be £10.40 on average. Do you think this sounds right? I'd have thought that number to be another £2-£3 higher. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think this sounds right? I'd have thought that number to be another £2-£3 higher. Thanks. That's if everyone paid the same, but factor in concessions, free kids, normal kids season tickets from as little as £2 per game, group tickets and freebies for advertising etc. which would mean walkups paying more than that average. If there were 1500 freebies per game then the average ticket price becomes £11. To get to £12 then you would need 3,500 freebies per game including free kids season tickets.

Gritty Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I live in London and only get up occasionally (although make a lot of away matches). What is the South West Upper like these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
