I'm sure someone could help me...for the last 2 seasons I've had complimentary tickets for me and my daughter from a friend and before that I bought them individually..but next season Ive just found out by friend Won't be there to sort it out for me so I won't have that privilege...looked for prices online for season tickets but can't seem to find them...does anybody know how much an adult ticket and A under 16 ticket for the family enclosure would cost ? How do you go about getting season tickets in the east or west stand please ? When they announce the early bird or main sales they are never included due to waiting on renewals i guess. Any ideas?

I enjoy the Family Enclosure but beware of the little anklebiters who appear under your armpits when you aren't looking....although a Paddington Bear-esque 'hard stare' is enough to frighten them off. Normally. Also great for meeting players (playing and non-playing) who are more often than not more than happy to sign programmes and pose for selfies etc...

How do you go about getting season tickets in the east or west stand please ? When they announce the early bird or main sales they are never included due to waiting on renewals i guess. Any ideas? The west stand is usually fully booked so you would have to wait until the last date that season ticket holders can renew their seats. The east stand has always been available to all from the first day of sales in the past, but again you wouldn't be able to get seats that were already held by a season ticket holder until after the 'season ticket renewal' date had passed. Also you had to go into the stadium or telephone, no online sales. The problem for next year is that last year is the first time (at least recently) that season tickets in the east stand also sold out. So you may well have the situation that there are no season tickets until after the 'renewal' period has passed. Unfortunately that usually means that you'll miss the early bird prices. Your best bet is to be ready the day they go on sale and contact the club to see if there are any available in the early bird. Of course, there's a chance that renewals / early bird might work differently this year. p.s. Season tickets went on sale 14th March last year. Early bird ended 29th April.

There are plenty of spare seats directly surrounding me in the south stand for some reason.

One annoying pillar? Went in there once with my son and there was one annoying old biddy who was determined no one was going to stand in front of her. Most unfriendly part of the ground I've been in! Territorial waterings mate Good band but never been the same since the lead singer left

Most of the time it's ok in there. Go there now as we all take the kids with us, and most of the time they can see ok.
You do however get the odd occasion when adults will come along and quite happily come and stand right in front of the kids, and get a mood on when you suggest to them that perhaps it might be better if they stood on the step behind where the kids are stood.

I feel your pain gregsgas - it was SO MUCH EASIER when we were in the Conference I used to be able to rock up about 2.55 and stand at the back of the West Enclosure by the centre-line - now I have to get there by 2.00 and even then I can't always get "my" place! For all the right reasons, I love having this problem!

Good band but never been the same since the lead singer left I don't think he left, I thought he shot off Shot himself in the head with a rifle while having enough heroin in his blood to have killed him 4 times over. There is no way Kurt did that himself.

I have had a season ticket in the East stand for a few years now, virtually paid the same price everytime due to early bird purchase.
You pays your money you takes your chance, relegation and promotion not withstanding. Outstanding view, spoilt by the odd numpty going out before half/fulltime.

Is anyone aware if the club is looking to offer Student or Military discount for 17/18 season tickets?
Both have large populations within miles of our current home and within meters of our potential UWE sight.
Both move here to study or work for a few years, but quite often end up staying in the area afterwards so potential life-long fans.
Both often have disposable incomes to spend in the bar and tend to have large social circles they could bring to the club.
I know it has been discussed about offering UWE students discounted rates once the stadium is built, however I feel it could be beneficial to start attracting them to the club now, that can only be beneficial to the negotiations surely, no matter how small a point it might be.
For the record I am a long term season ticket holder, who wouldn't benefit from either of these discounts, however I do work with many colleagues who could be tempted if they were offered the same prices as U21’s.

The club have been part of the "tickets for troops" scheme for quite sometime, Gashead 79 would be able to coroborate this statement as an ex cabbage head In the main the members of the Armed Forces nearby are Commisioned or Non-Commisioned Officers so are generally quite well renumerated, therefore able to afford our "reasonably" cheap deals. We have long offered cheap tickets to students (half-season etc) so that could be worth persuing? UTG

WRT the flexi tickets for example, if these were to be released early on into the season with student discount then that could work, unfortunately I seem to remember them being more Christmas time?
