If you are 100% sure that you do not want the current seat that you occupy then we would recommend waiting until Monday, March 18^th at 12pm when you will then be able to go online and pick a new seat from those that are not renewed by current season card holders, without having to wait in any kind of queue. If you would like to guarantee your current seat but wouldn’t mind looking to move elsewhere once seats become available, we would recommend renewing in your current seat in the first instance. We would then suggest looking online for the seats you would like to move into once reservations are released on Monday, March 18^th at 12pm and then calling Supporter Services on 0117 963 0600 as the move process can’t be done online.

Once logged in and from your profile page, select the ‘season cards’ tab. From here, select your season card to renew and at the next screen you will be presented with everyone in your group. From there, you will have the below options for each individual.:
