Found this via the Gills website. £25 a ticket and already on sale.
I got mine a week or so back. Looks like they are selling them block at a time, but think they might be on the last couple of blocks now, so imagine they’ll sell out before the night.Great! I'll tell him. Thanks nibbles.
Fine for most games where the away stand is half full, but doesn’t always work where all the tickets are sold - often easier to sit in your allocated seat.Pretty sure it will be sit where you like once you get in there anyway
I used to think unallocated sold out seated stands would cause bedlam but recently we’ve been in some that have worked out alright, like Luton or Millwall back in the day. Open up the blocks one by one.Fine for most games where the away stand is half full, but doesn’t always work where all the tickets are sold - often easier to sit in your allocated seat.
TLDRThat was too long for any of you to read, wasn’t it?
First question I ask stewards when entering the away seating - "can we sit anywhere?" It`s why I get to grounds early. Most allow "anywhere" though last season at Harrogate they insisted sit in your allocated seat - upset a few !I used to think unallocated sold out seated stands would cause bedlam but recently we’ve been in some that have worked out alright, like Luton or Millwall back in the day.

Talking to a Man UTD fan on the way back from Wrexham he says the away ticket is just to get you through the turnstiles and then you sit where you like. This is a long-established norm which everyone follows.
At Gills it’s different as we don’t have that understanding. Personally I’m happy standing anywhere but you have that feeling in our away ends where someone will turf you out if you’re in their seat otherwise they’ll think they’ll get turfed out if they stand in someone else’s sit. Not that I blame them.
Ideally we should say the lower half or third of the stand is allocated seats and then the back half or so is unallocated. The most important thing to me is those who need a seat, an unrestricted view or a ground level row should be able to reserve it.
The Man UTD fan also said that they’re allowed to take beer to their seats in European games in particular countries. Oh to be that civilised!
Another absolutely fantastic away following.
