Restricted View at Old Trafford

Post by Shappie » Fri Mar 24, 2023 4:40 pm

Just about to book tickets for the Roses match at OT, and its saying that because of the building works, the seats have restricted view (Party Stand)

Does anyone on here know how bad it will be affected?

Many Thanks

I went to one of the test matches in the party stand last year, the ticket was restricted view. Couldn't see part of the boundary rope to the right. Wasn't bad at all. I was sat near the back at the very end of the row so was probably one ofthe worst seats and didn't matter much at all

The building works for the new stand/hotel are directly opposite the temporary party stand.

Parts of stand A and B are definitely affected by the construction hoardings, we had membership and usually sat in A last season, but if you pick A1 or A2 you'll be fine.

We had restricted view tickets in the temporary stand (think it's the same one that's still there now) a few years ago. Couldn't see the stumps at one end, spoke to a steward and he moved us with no issue.

Restricted view in the party stand is normally to do with the DRS cameras.
