Season Tickets Next Season - You Decide

[CP 0 3 BHA]

Most likely staying in WSU. Some of our party tried the East stand last week and got very cold and the atmosphere was poor so the possibility of jumping over to the ESU looks less likely.

I'd be interested to hear from the 2 current ST holders who don't intend to renew next year, and find out their reasoning (not in a witch hunt type of way).

 

[The Grockle]

I’ll be renewing regardless, I have missed two games this season but hopefully there will be some sort of exchange system in place.


FWIW I think it is fair enough if someone wants to move seats but if there isn’t a valid reason such as someone with unforeseen mobility problems then there should be a charge, not only to cover the considerable work involved in swapping people around but to discourage people moving just because they can.
It’s worth remembering that this summer will be a very busy period for the club with expansion and potentially handing many thousands of new ST applications.

In an ideal world, I'd try and get WSU lower down ie below the exit, but given we have 8 seats together, I know that will be a non-starter. Otherwise, love my WSU G block spot.

I'll be staying where I am in the North, but want an extra seat next to me for the boy. Which might be unlikely. I would hate to move just to accommodate him though (sounds cruel I know lol), as I'm happy where I am, the people around me are always noisy and a great laugh.

 

[Gazwag]

Love my seat to the rear of N1A. Absolutely no chance of me letting that go any time soon

Yep, 3 more N1A's will be there next year in front of the same seat

Currently I am commuting (driving) 700 miles per week, add on to that a round trip of 250 miles for a home game, Im not sure with the rising cost of fuel that I can afford to renew....( approx £380 per month for fuel)

I am one of the current ST holders who voted not to renew. I live abroad and when I bought a ST I was travelling back to the UK a lot with work and the plan was to give it to friends/family when I couldn't make it. Since then my work situation has changed and I don't get back very often - I've only been to one game! My brothers other half has used it for every game though. I'm just hoping that all the extention plans go ahead so it's easier for me to pick up tickets when I come back!

Happy with WSU seat, few idiots near me (moaning twats), would quite like to move forwards a bit, but not a real problem

 

[dannyboy]

has crossed my mind to move seats in the west upper maybe go lower down and more central but i love my view. only thing that bothers me is there are old people behind me who dont seem to stand even when we score so im always conscious that im pissing them off. there are also old boys on the end of my row who have to suffer with my beer induced weak bladder and often kids in front who have to put up with my football tourettes which has been pretty bad this season with the refs weve had. i shouldnt really let it bother me as its football after all .... should i?

 

[Braders]

Not sure - Will renew but may change seat!

 

[darters74]

Me and the boy will be renewing in WSU, just hope there's room for my daughter who is on the waiting list. If we have to move so be it, but happy where I am.

Looking at the levels of people wanting to change seats i can see it becoming unmanageable. If I were the club I wouldnt allow it until all renewals, waiting list and new sales had been dealt with. If you want to risk moving then no guarantees you wont end with worse than what youve got. Saying that i'd dearly love to move our 10 st's further back in wsl but completely understand if the club wont let it become open house.

Staying in the North or moving stand?

the club also want to keep existing ST holders not piss them off by allowing non ST holders to purchase new seats before them!

 

[JCL666]

I thought about East Stand Upper, but TBH my seat in the East is 11 rows from the pitch and almost on the halfway line. I don't think I could get a better view.

The only reason I would seriously consider moving is if the atmosphere (in the East) got worse, but it is slowly improving. So staying put.

 

[Phat Baz 68]

Lifer now in my seat sit with some great people this time !!!!
WERE THE NORTH STAND, WERE THE NORTH STAND, WERE THE NORTH STAND BRIGHTON BOYS !!!!!!!!

 

[el_ciddy]

Was thinking about trying to move from WSU to Northstand but the better view where I am just edges it. We may not sing as often as the Northstand but when it does get going in the West stand it's awesome being amongst it.

That's partly why I put this poll together - to judge the appetite for renewals overall, but more importantly to get a sample of the level of possible moves within the existing season ticket holding 'community'.

I'd say that overall, the figure here will differ in that we are more actively interested than many at the Amex, so the drop out rate will be higher than shown here.

On the basis I dont see the family stand location changing (or me winning the lottery and buying one of those new exec boxes for me and a rotation of family and friends) I've gone for same seats. The east upper interests me perhaps in a few years time.

Dont mean to upset you but from I have heard from a number of people around the club, the family stand will be moving into the South stand & the away fans into the north east corner, due to the fact they are putting corporate boxes above the south stand & they cant do this if the away fans are below them. ( Although this is meant to be happening by 2014)

Hence my choice of hoping to move into ESU once completed.
