Platinum Club v Bar 1892 v Standard ticket

[Holden McGroin 6783]

I'm coming up back from down south for Xmas and I'm going to buy a ticket for the Stoke game.

 

I was thinking I may treat myself to a better ticket than normal.

 

What do you get from Platinum Club and Bar 1892 tickets that you don't from a standard ticket? And are the worth it?

Both are canny nice.

 

Generally you'll enjoy a better view - the Platinum has padded seats. You get a free match program, there's no queue for the bar/toilets, you can order drinks for half time.

 

There's none of that singing nonsense/atmosphere that the rest of the ground gets.

Cheers. I grew up in the East Stand so im not used to any of that chanting malarkey !

[Tom 14013]

Ah right. It's basically East stand plus in which case

[Anorthernsoul 1221]

South East Corner is where the chanting is if that floats your boat.

If you can get in early enough when they go on sale to members the east stand is just as good. Can't see there being much choice in there for that game now though

Was in 1892 for the Norwich game and thought it was class tbh. You're at the level where your seats are perfect for viewing everything and you can get your overpriced lager cheaper at half time.

I used to have a season ticket for 1892 and regularly got freebies for platinum.

 

Much prefer 1892 and always thought platinum a bit claustraphobic (sp)

 

Really depends how much time you are spending in the ground before and after. Nice being able to get a pint after the game while the rabble make their way home

Aye I've only just figured that out this season. It's canny being able to stay back to avoid the crowds.

Surely that's the wrong way round? 1892 is really thin and rammed from memory, plus harder to get served, worse seats, worse view. I imagine that's why it's cheaper.

The main area is canny and separated from the bar area and then you also have the long thin area you refer to, which I quite like as it doesnt get crowded and each table has a pretty good view of a telly. It always feels more open to me.

 

Additionally, I think you get a better clientele in 1892. Working class made good or pushing the boat out where as platinum is full of solicitors and their ilk.

Ive gone for 1892.

 

Not many seats around the whole ground left tbh.
