Season ticket: Help! 16:15 - Apr 4 with 2255 views | Steve_ITFC_Sweden | As I'm retiring, I am soon to become Steve_ITFC_UK, so I'll need a season ticket. It's not been a problem to get single tickets in the past, but now all of my old preferences are already taken. Despite my age, I do like to make a bit of noise for the Tractor Boys, so it's always been SBR for me where possible. What is the "audience participation" like in the upper tier, e.g. sections 2 or 3, 'cos all of the decent spots in the lower tier seem to be sold? Do any of the other stands join in these days? All advice welcome. | | | | |

They did a nice job of giving the linesman some strong advice near the end of Saturday’s game. Like to see some energy from the young uns. | |

You can get a ST now and then as soon as the renewal period closes any ST not renewed will become available to move to. Check with the ticket office for the date to request the move. My lad did this last year and was able to move next to me. | | | |

Yeah loads became available in the SBRL at this stage last season because they don’t release seats from those who’ve moved until the non-renewals are released. | | | |

Well done on getting the person next to you to move/not renew. I hope your son doesn't feel the same way by the end of a season sat next to you! | |

This. Get a S/T in your second best alternative - there is a strong case to be made for front of block A, Call ticket office and tell them you would prefer SBR lower and ask to be put on the move list. There will be plenty of seats available in SBRL once the initial renewal period ends. I had a ST in SBRL this season but decided to move back to the old West stand. My ST in SBRL appeared unavailable until the renewal period ended. The earlier you speak to the Ticket Office, the more likely you are to get a seat in your preferred location. | | | |

Second best location would probably be somewhere you can see SBRL rather than SBRU. | |

Season ticket: Help! on 11:56 - Apr 5 with 1353 views | SouperJim | If you want my advice, don't go for a lower tier in the side stands, the view is awful. I'm led to believe there is "some" atmosphere in the upper north and folks often speak highly of the view. Could be a decent option. I would speak to the ticket office and explain your conundrum. I would imagine if you grab the best seat you can in the lower north now, when the non-renewers get recycled they'll be able to move you to a better seat. Good luck! | |

Season ticket: Help! on 13:13 - Apr 5 with 1248 views | Strimmer | I like the SBR upper but the noise only really gets going at flashpoints, not really like the lower at all. Sitting is the norm too. I really love the view though. Not sure if its the steeper rake of a more modern stand but you feel like you're right on top of the action in that half. Imagine same in SAR upper. | |

This is good advice and what we did last year. Went for SAR Upper, next to the away fans originally as we hoped for some atmosphere but then were lucky enough to see someone on here (thanks again!) saying two in SBR Lower came available. Club were really helpful even if we had to do this weird thing where I had the tickets in my basket and my friend had to tell me to remove them whilst he was on the phone to the ticket office to prove it was really us who had the two seats in the basket! | | | |
