View from the back of Barclay Upper...

[rondy 0]

Hi,I''m a super member and I missed out on a half decent seat for the QPR game as I thought I''d be away on holiday; am now not going away so have just bought a ticket online.. unsurprisingly there wasnt much choice left and I''ve ended up on the back row of the upper Barclay.. I didnt notice it at the time of buying but have sinced noticed that it has an ''impaired view''.. Can anyone tell me what this means - guess its due to the roof of the stand either blocking out the ball when its hoofed in the air, or is it impairing the view of part/s of the pitch.. Am hoping its not a big deal but can anyone clarify this for me please...

I sit what was 3 rows from the back, now 5 rows with the new seats.  From my view I can''t see the scoreboard unless I duck down, but rarely does the ball go out of view.  I don''t think the situation at the back would be too much worse, maybe more an issue seeing the Barclay goal line if everyone stands up.  There are a few supporting posts, but they are right next to the seats (none behind), so these don''t obstruct any views.

As previous poster said, I''m one from the back and you can''t see the end scoreboard, but as long as you can count that isn''t a problem. Great view and good atmosphere too!

It''s fine! Towards the top of the Upper Barclay are always the seats I look for first! Decent atmosphere, and good view - as long as you don''t mind not seeing the scoreboard! No impaired view of the pitch.

Thanks for the replies guys - thought it wouldnt be anything major to worry about, but glad for peace of mind.. I did look at tickets in the Jarrold but was fairly horrified to see that they were £45, for QP bloody R - I''m guessing thats cat B?! (though should be a C really). Out of interest what are casual price tickets for the Jarrold for Cat A games (ie Arsenal next week) - £55/60?

Thanks Harry..

Going by the price of tickets (online) for the QPR match, a few points:

QPR is a grade B game - Prices FROM £33. Are/were they actually any £33

tickets available? Im a super member and am buying tickets in the

cheapest part of the ground so why is my ticket £35?

It would appear tickets on the sideline (ie Jarrold) are £10 more

expensive than at either end, as a ticket in the Jarrold for QPR is £45,

fair enough I suppose as you get a better view...

But bearing in mind that most casual tickets available are in the

Jarrold (some in the River End and VERY few in the Barclay/Snakepit) it

seems that ''most'' casuals are paying £45. If the pricing policy is the

same for Cat A (ie side line tickets are £10 more than end tickets) does

that mean that casual tickets for Arsenal are FROM £43 (which probably

means £45) in the Barclay and River End and therefore 53(55) in the

Jarrold, or is it capped at £45?

Living in London and not having a season ticket I generally do any away

games, and try and get to carrow rd 3/4 times a season. QPR will be my

first home prem game and I guess Im just a bit surprised at how high

the prices are - I get the whole supply and demand thing, but £45 to

see QPR, seriously?!?! I certainly wont moan about paying £40 for Villa away again..

The Jarrold has different prices for different blocks. The central section (middle 3 blocks MLK) would therefore be more expensive hence the figure you saw. I think that''s how it''s priced. The attached plan may help?

Hi Matt,With the Capital Canaries I hope!  I was a member last year but havent

signed up yet this year as this will be my 1st home match - can I pay up

on the day or do you want money up front?

[Matt Juler 208]

On the day should be fine, just contact Tim who does the home travel.  He''ll probably start taking bookings for QPR in a week or so.

If you don''t mind not seeing the scoreboard and as long as people don''t continually stand then it no problem!
