My problem with reserved east stand seating is

1) I sometimes take the in-laws/friends with me - they probably only go to half of the games per season. If I had a reserved pass, they wouldn't be able to sit with me. (I think if you visit the ticket office before the match day you can swap your tickets but I don't live in Hull and only visit for the matches.)

2) If you sit in unreserved, you can move if the person in front doesn't know the rules and is doing your head in. If you've got a reserved seat, you're stuck with them.

but, conversely, if they can sell every seat in the East Stand as reserved then they can fill it, I can see both sides of the argument.

When I got back to the UK in summer 2007, before I got a pass I used to go in West Stand unreserved, we were good then and the view and atmosphere was pretty good. The stadium looks fuller too as you are looking at the east stand!

I liked the fact you could to Hull sit in the ureserved part and if your mates who dont go every week fancy tagging along they can, we can all sit together too.
I hope they make it unreserved again, this season ive been in the south stand and its painful in there.

If all Reserved you might get stuck in front of a man with a beard who rants all the way through the game and youre stuck for the full season.

I am pretty sure if you get a pass and don't like the people around you the club would let you move it to another vacant seat.

Its not often that any of the stands are at capacity (derby excepted) so on those occasions you took others with you, you could sit in a seat other than the one allocated by your pass.

I don't live in the area and for the 2 games I missed this season I exchanged vouchers at the ticket office 15 minutes before kick off.

If you don't like the person near you, as per my first point, its rarely packed.

A solution to your problem is, the West Stand.

This happened to me a few years ago and club couldn't have been more helpful - AT NO CHARGE!!

Why do you think they'd charge a fee?
