My son and I have been season ticket holder since God was a boy. We had seats on the half way line at Murrayfield, Myreside and Murrayfield again.
I logged onto my SRU ticket account at 9:45. I kept refreshing until I got into the Edinburgh season ticket purchasing at 9:55, to find there were hardly any tickets left. We have ended up with pretty poor seats at a premium price.
Given that I was in even before the official start, how on earth did I then find all the good seats gone?
There aren't any good seats, outside of hospitality all seats seem to have some sort of restricted view. Aside from the pillars and low roofing, there are metal barriers left, right and centre. I used across the aisle from the players at Myerside, they were never harassed, but there's fencing all around them now, on the other side high fencing around the tunnels, and fencing at the front too, presumably to guard against pitch evasion! Only looked at it closely before tying to get tickets, and I don't like at all. And as for loyal gold season ticket holders not getting priority so they can continue to sit together...
We will miss Murrayfield, we were spoiled, the atmosphere is what you make it too, been at plenty games there when there was plenty of noise when there was something to cheer about, as it should be. I'll give it this year, but may not be back, might watch super 6 instead.
