Bournemouth Tickets

The Vitality Stadium is the smallest ground in the Premier League with an overall capacity of little over 11,000. However, what the stadium lacks in size, it makes up for in atmosphere. The stadium consists of four single tier stands with fans packed in close to the pitch. The stadium is simple, smart and modern and has been home of Bournemouth since 2001. As a result of its small size, fans have a clear view of the action from all four stands, including the away section and VIP hospitality tickets. Below are the ticket options when purchasing AFC Bournemouth tickets through Football Ticket Pad:

Longside Lower: These seats offer premium views of the match and the clear views of both ends of the pitch. Longside Lower tickets are in the C4L Main Stand which also houses the main facilities including the players tunnel and dugout area. The East Stand also hosts Longside Lower tickets in Blocks 16-20 sat next to the away fans who take up two blocks in the corner of the stand.

Shortside Lower: Slightly cheaper tickets which are located behind each goal at the Vitality Stadium. This is often where the best atmosphere is but the view is not as good as Longside seats. The Steve Fletcher North Stand and Colmar Macdougall Stand is where fans will be sat.

VIP Hospitality: Football Ticket Pad can provide AFC Bournemouth matchday hospitality for the 2016/17 season at the Vitality Stadium. The Champions Top Floor Restaurant suite is located at the rear of the East Stand and offers exclusive panoramic match views which involves a three course pre-match meal.

Away Section: Around 2,000 fans are allocated away section tickets for matches at the Vitality Stadium and they are extremely popular with travelling supporters. Football Ticket Pad has a limited number of away section tickets for some of the biggest games of the 2016/17 season. Away fans are sat in the shortside lower section of the East Stand and can access the ground through turnstile F.

Season/Members Cards: These ticket types are seats which belong to AFC Bournemouth 2016/17 members and season ticket holders who have made their seats available to Football Ticket Pad for fixtures at the Vitality Stadium. Customers will receive their match card in the post in plenty of time before the game and will be notified once the card has been dispatched to the address provided in the original payment details. Season/Members cards are a popular ticket type on our webiste and we carry a 100% guarantee with each purchase. All season/members cards must be returned after the match as soon as possible in a pre-paid envelope.

E-tickets: Only available for Football Ticket Pad customers who have booked VIP Hospitality tickets. Once payment is confirmed, the tickets are emailed to the customer and can then be shown at the stadium to gain access to the suite.

Paper tickets: Once your AFC Bournemouth tickets have been purchased they are then sent to you in the post 3-4 days prior to the match. If you are buying your tickets a couple of days before we can either send them in the post to you or arrange to meet at a collection point on matchday. Every purchase carries a 100% ticket guarantee and we can deliver the tickets in whatever method works best for you.

It was a memorable first ever season in the top flight for The Cherries who looked more than comfortable in their debut season and safely secured survival in 16th place. Despite losing their opening matches against Aston Villa and Liverpool, they responded by beating West Ham United 4-3 away from home thanks to a Callum Wilson hat-trick. The Cherries had a couple of major injury blows which dented their season but still managed to take all three points against both Chelsea and Manchester United before the New Year.

Bournemouth continued to improve in the second half of the season and fans were pleased with the football that they were witnessing under Eddie Howe. The Cherries secured vital wins against Southampton, Newcastle United and Swansea with new signing Benik Afobe filling the void left by the injured Callum Wilson. Despite resounding defeats against Spurs, Manchester City and Chelsea, Bournemouth fans were more than pleased and they can be hoping for greater things in 2016/17 on the south coast as they continue to defy the odds.
