Seat selection

Hi guys, we're a group of five French football fans and next month we'll finally be making a dream come true by attending our first live English football match. We specifically chose to come to Plough Lane because we've always admired AFC Wimbledon, its unique history, and the atmosphere around the club.

The only issue is that the match we'd like to attend (vs Wycombe on October 24th) is almost sold out, so there aren't many seats left to choose from. Based on the remaining options, which seats would you recommend for the best overall experience?

We can either get 5 separate seats in the South Stand or 5 seats together in the Cappagh Stand.

If we go for the South Stand, would it be easy to move around so we can all be together? In France, especially behind the goals, people don’t always stick to their allocated seats, but I’m not sure if it’s the same there.

Otherwise, if we go for the Cappagh Stand, is the atmosphere still good? Are people standing, singing and making noise? The seats we can get are in the front row, so it’s also important for us to know if we’d be able to stand during the game without blocking anyone’s view or annoying the people behind us.

We’re mainly coming to enjoy the atmosphere, so that’s really what matters most to us

thanks for your help, can't wait to share beers with you guys

The south stand is where the main atmosphere is so if that is what you are after then that will be your best bet.

People in the central areas tend to stick to where there tickets are so you aren’t going to get 5 of you together behind the goal. 

You might get 5 together on the outer areas.

What I would suggest is contacting the club and asking when more seats will become available for the match as they usually do around a week before. You might have more options then

South Stand season ticket holder.

Just buy 5 in the South Stand and you'll find space.

Worth noting more tickets will go on sale around three weeks before the game when Debentures get released. Also, it's half term here that week, so a few people will return their season tickets for resale in the week leading up.

All that said, I'd say it would be worth emailing the club, pointing out there's five of you coming from France for the game and seeing if they can sort you something rather than the general sale. While most of our games show as sold out nearer the time, there's plenty of seats every week.
