How to choose the best seats at a football stadium

Posted 13 May 2023


Going to a football match is a great way to experience the excitement of the game live. But with so many different seats, knowing where to sit can take a lot of work. Here are a few tips to help you choose the best seats at the game:

Consider the view

The most crucial factor to consider when choosing seats is the view. You want to be able to see the whole pitch, so avoid seats behind the goals or in the very top rows. Ideally, you want to sit in the middle of the stand, as close to the halfway line as possible. This will give you the best view of the action.

Examples of good seats at a football stadium include:

·    Seats in the middle of the stand, as close to the halfway line as possible.

·    Seats in the home end if you're a home team fan.

·    Seats in the away end if you're a fan of the away team.

·    Seats in the stadium's upper tier if you're on a budget.

·     Seats in a family section if you have young children.

·     Seats in a wheelchair-accessible section if you have mobility issues.

Consider the price

Football tickets can be expensive, so you want to ensure you get the best value for your money. If you're on a budget, try sitting in the stadium's upper tier. The views there may not be as good, but the tickets will be cheaper.

The price of football tickets in the Premier League varies depending on the stadium, the team, and the match. Generally, tickets for the most popular teams and games are expensive. Tickets for less popular teams and matches are usually cheaper.

Here are some examples of ticket prices for Premier League matches in the 2022/23 season:

·    Arsenal vs Manchester United: £75-£125

·    Chelsea vs Liverpool: £70-£120

·    Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City: £65-£115

·    Everton vs Newcastle United: £50-£100

·    Aston Villa vs Leeds United: £45-£95

As you can see, the price of tickets can vary significantly. If you're on a budget, it's essential to do your research and find the best deals. You can often find cheaper tickets by buying them in advance or sitting in the stadium's upper tier.

 

Think about your needs.

Consider sitting in a family section if you have young children. Family sections are typically located in the stadium's lower tier and have more space for families to spread out. These sections are often designated as "family-friendly" zones, meaning a more relaxed atmosphere and less rowdy behaviour are tolerated. Family sections are also typically a good option for families with young children, as there are often more facilities nearby, such as toilets and refreshment stands.

If you have mobility issues, consider sitting in a wheelchair-accessible section. Wheelchair-accessible sections are typically located near the stadium's exits and have accessible seating. These sections are often designated as "accessible" zones, meaning there is more space for wheelchair users and their companions. Wheelchair-accessible sections are also typically a good option for people with mobility issues, as they offer more accessible access to and from the stadium.

Choosing the best seats at a football stadium can be challenging, but it's worth doing your research. Usually, the best seats at the game are the ones that offer the best view, the best atmosphere, and the best value for money. If you can find seats that meet all these criteria, you will have a great time at the match.
