East upper tier

[amexee]

Is there gonna be a family section in the East Upper? Quite fancy moving.....also who do you speak to at the club to request a move? Thanks

You cannot move up there yet, only provisionally book seats if you are one of the STH who will have to move if expansion goes ahead. I have to move from the family stand as my lad has turned 16, but I cannot not reserve an upper east ticket. I was told I have to buy tickets elsewhere and join the scrum to move if the expansion happens.

by people who had last choice of season tickets the first time around i'd imagine. i mean who would have actually chosen to sit east stand by the away end!! should have been offered in order of season tickets purchased the first time around IMO. They now have prime f***ing seats the bastards!

Home supporters being called bastards? Thanks..kind of you

I've just asked someone affected by this, and he thinks he was told it would be the as ESL - £550 in the middle and £500 in the wings.

ESL middle price is £575, I have my renewal price in front of me.

At nearly every other ground in the country, the most vocal home fans sit by the away fans. Brighton did it the other way round.

you sure? man utd, liverpool, arsenal, stoke, villa, west ham, portsmouth just to name a few have their 'loudest' fans also at the opposite end...

Yep I would confirm this £575 for all of the upper tier

agreed, Leeds, Chelsea..........Blackpool was a bit strange they were singing between each end to each other!

 

[Rocky Robin]

To be honest i wouldn't mind a corner seat near the north when they come up

Tend to agree. The right thing to do would have been to re-run the ST process allowing all to be invited to either stay in current seat or go for one of he new seats, but in the same order of priority as last year. Those displaced (who were new STHs) could then pick from what was left. That's what my heart says.

My head says to do that would be a logistical nightmare, so answered my own question, but still not right that a fan who has only a one year STH history, will bag what are probably the best seats in the house!

I'm no builder, but lets assume the planning permission goes through without a hitch - The last game home game is late April. The first home game, whatever league we are in, is going to be early to mid August. Is that really enough time to have everything complete? That's roughly three months from start to finish. Those builders could be in for some overtime I suspect?

It`s just a big boys meccano set, 10 weeks will be ample time to complete

It doesn't need to be anything like as complicated as that!

Existing STHs who want to move should put in a request and then there is a window of, say, a week or two, during which these people are allowed to book a new seat before they go on general sale. This could be done quite easily online or via the ticket office, as long as there is a seating plan.

Then those who are displaced can choose from the 'new' vacant ones and any left east upper and south (home bit)......still never mind i will now have to put up with east upper/5 rows back/roughly centre...someone has too

Best seats for evening games, but perhaps not on sunny Saturdays at 3pm with the sun in your eyes...

Isn't the ESU well under the vast roof?

It's the ESL that has the full brunt of sunshine.

Those who are displaced should obviously have first shout as they are being forced to move.

Btw, it you are truly going to miss the East Stand Lower, you can have my seat and I'll have yours in the upper tier!

Aye...thankfully remembered my cap for Pompey game....spent most of Ipswich first half with hand shielding my eyes even with a pair of sunglasses

On the note of 'who would want to sit that end of east stand ....around me there are quite a few people who have been watching Brighton for some while and certainly not all new season ticket holders as some people seem to think

Lol....what I will miss more than anything is the peeps I have got to know

Ps..whereabouts is yours?

I think for this time of year the front few rows might suffer....but when sun is higher I doubt it

Aisle seat, near the Family Stand. Like the people round me too - just want to be higher up!

[kevo]

Nine rows back, half-way between half-way line and penalty area.
