If they were to charge different prices the admin costs would increase as would the stewarding, as there would need to be people, and possibly physical measures, in place to be able to stop people moving between different areas of the ground. I take it that you can head off to the main stand for a covered seat during the game if it starts pissing with rain? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Thompson Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I take it that you can head off to the main stand for a covered seat during the game if it starts pissing with rain?At the moment, yes. Although the terrace is covered so it's pretty unusual for their not to be enough room there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayr don’t charge differently depending what “stand” you’re in and as far as I’m aware neither do most clubs in the lower leagues that have a mix of terracing and seats. Surprised at that. Going to watch Aarau in the 2nd league here I pay 21CHF for the terraces but if I want a seat in the main stand it’s around 3 times the price. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They charge the same for sitting in a stand in line with the centre circle as standing behind one of the goals? If this is true then it's no wonder that the game is as badly administered as it is. Football fans are clearly morons! Yes, it’s incredibly common throughout the lower leagues. I’d far rather stand at a game of football so it doesn’t bother me one bit that it costs the same to sit or stand. Fans are able to move around the ground as they see fit, it’s not like anyone’s penned into a specific stand/terrace. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd be happy paying £25+ to stand behind the goals at an SPFL Premiership match when you could sit in line with half way line for the same price then more power to you but I'd suggest you're getting ripped off. FWIW I think £25 to sit at a Premiership match is overpriced as it is let alone to stand. ETA : The above reply is me hypothesising of how your experience in the lower leagues might relate in the top flight.

Tonnes of grounds in the lower leagues have a flat entry charge and anyone is free to sit/stand wherever the f**k they want, not really sure what the issue with that is. The problem with ticket prices is how expensive they are in general, can’t say not having a difference between seating and standing really bothers me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekorean Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) FC Cincinnati's future stadium, groundbreaking ceremony took place couple days ago and its under construction. I must say its good to see MLS getting football specific stadiums and all but they are starting to look generic. Granted there are only so many ways to build 19,000-20,000 seater stadiums for football. Edited December 21, 2018 by thekorean 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best ones are generally those that have just slowly evolved with no two stands looking the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the juniors it's usually a flat entrance fee and £1/1.50 in a tin to get in the stand.

8MileBU Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Wasn’t sure whether to post this here or in the Twitter thread, but my gut tells me it’ll get more appreciation here. Whilst not all new stadiums, here’s a link to the best thread in Twitter history. Prepare to lose and hour or two trawling through it. Enjoy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
