NOT HAPPY WITH SEASON TICKET SEATS!!!

[rtid88]

I went to the game last night and me and my brother tried out our season ticket seats for the 1st time because we have moved from the South West Corner to the West Stand because my dad wanted a better view of the game, and all 4 of our seats have got a ruddy great railing in our view point. I have paid out £440.00 to look at a railing for approximately 45 minutes of football!! I don't think so!!
Surely they should have told me about this when we bought the season tickets??
Well i'm going to go down to the ticket office today and see what they can do and try and move but I am guessing that there are not going to be many decent places where there are 4 seats together now!! I am absolutely fuming!!!

i sit at the back of the west stand and there are about 2 seats where the view is slightly less than perfect but they always say that \"this has a restricted view\"

but unless you are a midget i would have thought that in this case they would have warned you that the view is not good ergo the view is probably judged to be ok

[MrFrost]

The seat I had last year had a railing right in front, and I couldn't see the South Stand goal because of it.
Luckily the seat in the row behind was never occupied so I sat there.
No where on my season ticket did it say restricted view, even though it cearly was!

[rtid88]

I am 6 foot and the railing blocks my view of the goal to my right and most of the pitch on that side!
We were not informed when we bought the tickets that these seats had restricted view at all, at the time there were plenty of other options but i'm guessing now there will not be any. I would not have paid £440.00 for a seat where I can only see 75% of the pitch, I had a better view in the south west corner!

Move to the East Stand,there's no restricted view what so ever apart from when the sun is low in February and then a peaked cap or

 sun glasses are required,  and you should be able to get 4 seats all together.

Thats all well and good, but what if you dont like prawn sarnies

Instead of moaning and assuming there will be no other tickets, just ring the ticket office and ask them to change your seat. Simple as.

Filth like us aren't allowed in those seats there for the elite ,hospitality and Premier club brigade.

As I said in my original post I am going down to the ticket office today to try and sort this, just wanted to make my circumstances known in case this has affected anyone else!!

The only highlight of last night was the 3 pints of nice beer at the Toad Brewery before the game!! Strongly recommend for everyone on Saturday and then I will hopefully be able to see the whole game!!

I have sat in several differnt places in the West Stand and there are lots of places with restricted views. It is basically a bad design. God knows why they didn't build it same as the East Stand, probably the designers just showing off, ha ha.
You have a choice of either East Stand sun in your eyes or West Stand restricted views, otherwise it is behind the goal.

I have sat in the corners and it is quite a decent view.

[Redandwhitewhizards]

I don't think it is the designers showing off, more incorporating places for our disabled fans to sit where they actually get a decent view of the game.

The West Stand would have far less restricted views if it wasn't for the dug outs.

[rtid88]

All sorted managed to get 4 together in West Stand with unobstructured views of the whole pitch. Just slightly closer to the away fans but still enough distance to be not in bottle throwing range!! Excellent!! Ticket office staff were very helpful!!

[Wellred]

Would it not have been better had you done this in the first place?

[rtid88]

Done what in the 1st place?

[Wellred]

Gone to the ticket office and sorted it before moaning on here?
If they hadn't sorted it out then you could have moaned but it seems a pointless exercise moaning about something that was fixed so easily.

[DN8ROVER]

The point is that certain areas in the west stand have obstructed views so people should be told about this before they purchase their tickets.

[rtid88]

Sorry, I thought this was an open forum in which people could express their views??
Sorry I must be mistaken!!

I was annoyed last night after being quite excited about sitting in my new seats which I had forked an extra £160.00 out for from the year before and was on a real low after getting to them and realising I could not see a big chunk of the pitch. At the time of getting the seats there was not a great deal of option available for 4 seats together and presumed quite rightly that there would not be much today. As it happens there were some seats which are not obstructured, not as close to the half way line as I would have liked but are still good seats from which I can see the mighty Rovers have a great season from.

The fact is on the Stadiums plans none of the seats around this railing are classed as restricted viewing, but there must be at the very least 50 seats around this railing that would have their view obstructured in some way. This is not the fault of the ticket office as they have not been made aware of this but the fault of the SMC.

But if I must keep my opinions to myself and not inform other people that maybe in a similar position that they can do the same then I apologise!!

Apology accepted.

It is an open forum, but only if you refrain from posting about cock ups, poor customer service or generally anything bad related to DRFC.

I just love views that are clearly restricted.

Have sat in West stand but found moving my head helped.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Could have been worse and found your self behind the dug out !
