Had a SC on L3 324 CB now L2 204 ES both cracking good views but last Sat had a look at the view from the NE corner the seats on the corners are the last to be put on sale why I dont know they must be some of the best seats in the premiership if I get chucked out of 204 for corprate bums on seats its to the corners I would wish to be moved,anyone know why season cards are not sold for these areas.

They do, I sit in the NE corner (141)! When the North Stand became the family stand L1 was classed as part of that for the first season, they then decided it wasn't and pricing for kids is now mid way between the family stand and East Stand, though above us on L2 is still classed as the family stand!!

I don't know but at a guess these are hospitality areas? Never sat there. My ideal seat would be front of 2nd tier on half-way line

Corners are fantastic, been in one since standing in the old "Kids Corner" between the Kippax and the North Stand. Now in South Stand 221 on the 3rd row also hoping it doesn't become a Corprate when the stadium expands. If it doesn't then their until I die.

ST holder in 324 myself mate and superb view,but don`t go for a gangway aisle.All the fucking latercomers and early leavers cluttering up the aisle did my stress levels no good.Finally relocated,into the same Block 324 but further inwards.Jobs a gudun nowadays.

No they don't. 141 is ... Block 141 not the North East Corner. If you ask for a seat in the North East Corner it will say 'NORTH EAST CORNER' on the ticket and have no Block number. I accidentally got one a couple of years ago by asking for anything in the North East Corner on 2nd row and Ticket Office Girl assumed I wanted NORTH EAST CORNER - you get access up a set of stairs from the back of the 2nd tier of the Family Stand
 
i sat halfway line, first row, colin bell stand, third tier against porto.

it was pretty fucking spectacular.
 
324 is great if you're near the front. I used to be 3 rows from the back and its very poor up there.

I'd say that's the best view in the whole stadium, ideally from the Colin bell side. Where the tv commentators sit.
 
The only views that aren't great are the corner flag zones in the front 2-3 rows of level 1. Everything else always gives you something, even up in the Gods on CB3 or E3 you get to see the quality of a Yaya 50 yard crossfield pass. For Real Madrid we relocated to CB1 about 10 rows behind the dugouts and they were the best we'd had, giving you some of the closeness but still able to get a good perspective on action on the other touchline.

There's better and worse atmosphere though. We're currently in CB3, 329 with zero passion and far too many tourists. Roll on relocation.
 
I'm on halfway line,at bottom of level 3 east stand.

Its by far the best view I've had there,love it.
 
I think my view is pretty good.

my view

close enough to shout at the players so they can hear you, not so close they can come and get me!!!


edit, east stand lower, 3 rows from the back
 
Any seat in the 2nd tier provides the optimum view.

Used to sit in 109 but its too low, the 3 tier - unless you are in the first 7 or 8 rows - makes you feel too high up and away from the atmosphere, but the 2nd tier is just right.

In a nutshell thats why the 2nd tier seats down the sides are priced the highest.
