£22 in advance £24 on the day, jesus, I often drive past the place, not exactly Old Trafford, seems expensive for such a small club.
Probably explains the ticket prices.FYI there are loads of places to eat very close to the ground if you're happy with Burger King, McDonalds, KFC etc. so no need to rely on dodgy pies. Massive Tesco within walking distance too.

Old Trafford it may not be, but the accommodation and sight lines offered to away supporters is far, far better than we offer our visitors - probably, even at £3 more, better value.
how much do they charge home fans? any discount for away fans OAP's, students?
Agreed Mick,
The view is superb especially the back row.
Adults - £22
Concessions (60+, Students and members of the Armed Force/Emergency Service – proof of these is required when buying).

Forces discount?? i swear Southend are the only club that dont do this!!!!!

without wanting to open a can of worms, why should people get discounts depending on what job they choose to do? equally, these days with the retirement/pension age at 65, why on earth should someone at 60 be getting a discount when you take into account that the vast majority earn more money as they get older?
*runs for cover*
As someone who is over 60 I am very grateful for reduced prices (of which Southend are one of the best) and I am still working (sort of) but it is a time when you always have retirement in mind and whatever you have at retirement has to last you a long time hopefully, so every little helps.
OR
After watching 50 years of DROSS I feel we deserve a discount!
Glad that the subject of Stevenage has come up as this is a ground I have not been to and I was looking this morning at potential travel options.
I would prefer the train so does anyone know how far away the ground is and how easy or difficult it is to get there from the station?
According to Andy Ansah, there are no decent places to eat near the ground so it would be great to know any good pubs in the vicinity as well.
