Safe standing to be introduced at Vitality Stadium

Following consultation with the Sports Ground Safety Authority (SGSA), AFC Bournemouth will be introducing safe standing at Vitality Stadium later this season. Safe standing locations will be found in away end seating and in all north stand blocks (10-15) in Rows J – R.

The club has been in dialogue with the SGSA to introduce safe standing in order to maintain the full seating capacity at Vitality Stadium, whilst adhering to all safety rules. AFC Bournemouth are working closely with the SGSA and wider Safety Advisory Group (SAG) stakeholders to ensure a safe and successful launch in February.

Safe Standing areas permit supporters to stand for the duration of a match. Standing is not required in these areas, however, supporters risk restricted pitch views if they are sat when surrounded by standing supporters. These areas are introduced to help keep supporters safe while standing.

Season ticket holders with seating located in safe standing areas that would like the opportunity to relocate out of this area can do so by completing the form linked HERE.

Forms must be received by 12pm on Wednesday 10^th January. Supporters completing the form will be contacted with a relocation opportunity to seating in the north or south stands only.

Relocations must be confirmed by the end of the day on Friday 12^th January.

Those with questions about their season ticket seat location can contact the ticket office on 01202 726300 or by email at [email protected]

Disabled supporters with individual seating requirements should contact [email protected] with any questions regarding their seat location or relocation opportunity.
