This morning, i was informed that the ticket office had been able to retrieve my seat, and so i would therefore like to give a big shout out to young Abbie for the time and effort she put into resolving my situation, well done Abbie i am so grateful for what you have done, thank you.
Im hoping that all others like myself get a satisfactory outcome, and that we can all return to Turf Moor next season and support our team, i will then be able to show a token my appreciation to Abbie in person.

Good news but without wanting to put a dampener on it, if you're in the Bob Lord behind the Directors section, then it may only be a reprieve for 12 months. Or are you a Phase 2 renewer?

After being told by the Club a few weeks ago that no season ticket holders seats were being lost this season in the area behind the Directors seats, they've now informed me that the situation has changed, some seats will be lost and that those season ticket holders who are affected will be contacted personally by the Club. I've asked for details of just how many ST holders will be affected and what alternative seats they will be offered and am awaiting a response.
My Dad went down and managed to get 2 seats together in the next block, so he was quite happy in the end. They took him up into the Bob Lord to have a look at them as well.
I'd be interested to see who exactly has had to give their seats up though. I've always got the impression most people up there are on freebies, or are friends of directors etc.

With regards to the Bob Lord stand, there must be very few seats left if anyone wants to move there that have unhindered views where a pillar doesn't obstruct part of the pitch.

There are usually plenty of choice of seats for 1 off games in both wings but don't know if any of those are obstructed by pillars.

Why are the club creating more seats for hospitality when before covid they couldn’t even fill all the hospitality seats they had? The back of the Jimmy Mac lower was always sparse. In a few years the ground is going to be high priced hospitality seats that are a 10th full. Makes no sense.
Is this the American way? Build it and they will come? Might work well for big city clubs but can’t see big business men wanting to come to Burnley to secure their contracts.

The club has long said that it has a waiting list for hospitality seats, you would expect that at least some of that list will have season tickets at the ground while they are waiting for the opportunity to get a full season in the Hospitality seats

None of the phase two people have had the chance to pay yet. Maybe they will play musical chairs with their seats?

I don't think there is much demand to pay hospitality prices to sit in the cheap seats. They sell out the side seats for hospitality every season.

What is the situation regarding seat swaps? I bought my daughter her first season ticket pre lockdown and obviously it has not been used as yet. The seat next to me is owned by a guy who travels down from Scotland and he only attends a few games a season so when i have taken my daughter on in the past she tends to be able to sit next to me with no issues despite me having to buy a ticket a row behind and one along (diagonally) for her. When he has come to a game he graciously allows her to sit next to me and he takes up the seat I have bought.
Her new season ticket is for that seat diagonally behind me. I have no idea if the guy has signed up for a new season ticket and my worry is that if he hasn't and somebody else buys the seat they may not be as gracious. Naturally I would like to get the chance to move her into the seat next to me if he has vacated it as per my original plan pre lockdown.

Why not give the ticket office a ring and explain the situation, they may then tell you if the chap next to you has renewed or not, if not they may be able to organise it so you and your daughter are sat together, either way I’d ring ring them, I’ve always found them to be very helpful.

Essentially I've done the same for my son for years now mate
Chances even if its a new S/T holder then he/she is not the sort of person who is going to mind sitting a seat further away

I have a similar problem in wanting to get my grandson the seat next to my son and I, it would be a lot easier and organised if the club allowed reserved notices on the seats for first refusal if that seat was to become vacant.

Although there is no official seat swop period I'd suggest that you contact the Ticket Office and I'm sure that they will try to accommodate you.

Those are phase 3 prices. Not sure what prices were after Early Bird last season but it does seem an increase.
They’ve also added ‘wing’ prices to The Bob Lord which we’ve never had before.
EDIT: looks like a whole new seating/pricing structure across the ground!

There used to be on price in the Longside upper but Lee Hoos introduced two prices with it slightly more expensive in the middle than the wings. I don't think it was more than a tenner. The Bob Lord was the same price as the Longside centre price.
Have you seen the difference in prices now in the two stands for phase 3? Three prices in Longside upper now at £475, £515 and £585 with Bob Lord at £515 and £650.

Similar in the Longside Upper - you could be in front of or to the side of someone paying considerably less. If they continue with those differences for 2022/23 there are going to be some big increases in early bird prices,

None of the sponsors are showing for the phase 3 prices. Longside is/was James Hargreaves, and I have heard they have opted to discontinue, while Bob Lord was Howard Rigg, cricket field was Ladbrokes and I'm not sure who sponsored the Jimmy Mac. What next? A Barnfield Stand?
