Not seen much posted on here re this game , just booked on the club trip with tickets available to book tomorrow , tickets priced at £16.50 standing and £58 seated ?
Looks like standing is the much better option but can anyone offer an opinion who may have been before
This is the first year UEFA is allowing standing sections. Previously, Dortmund and other German clubs had to install seats for European games as standing sections were banned (obviously most would stand in these areas anyway). This reduced capacity at Dortmund from circa 82k to 66k.
With the restriction removed there will be 82k there, and it will be proper terracing, with only the occasional crush barrier as shown in the far end of this picture
I am surprised at the price difference. I would have expected around £30-35 for the seated tickets, so I wonder whether the ones available initially are the expensive ones equivalent to the area we give to away fans in Colin Bell Level 2. I dont know whether this is true, just speculating.
When Copenhagen played Dortmund, they had to sell out the standing section before the seated section was made available. If this is the case, the seats above the standing section into the corner are ususally given to the away side. I'm not sure how many we will take to this though (it wont be 4k).
To answer your initial question, I think based on the price difference, if you can stand for the whole game its an easy choice.
