The Oval
Surrey / England
One of the world's great cricket venues, traditionally hosting the final Test of the English summer. The Oval has a more relaxed, South London atmosphere than Lord's. The famous gasholders (now flats) remain part of the skyline.

Worth every single penny
Views are better than I expected for this price bracket. Been coming here 20 years. This was a new section for me. Gets going when the team needs it. Price matched the experience. Hat trick completed right in front of our section. Magic.

Reliable option
Average view - you can follow the game but it's not great. Average noise levels for a Premier League game. Could almost touch the corner flag. Legroom was tight. I'm 6'2 and struggled.

No complaints here
Okay sightlines but nothing to write home about. Could be better. The singing is elsewhere. Bar was well stocked. Quick service. No regrets on the cost. Beautiful sunny day for it.

Respectable seats
View is acceptable. Not terrible, not great. Not the loudest but definitely up for it. Views are actually better from higher up here. Stewards were helpful pointing us the right way.

Absolutely stunning views
Could see most things. Some moments were hard to track. Good deal compared to other sections. Electric from the first whistle. Hair standing on end.

Just okay
The angle makes it hard to judge distances. Disappointing atmosphere. Very quiet section. Back row but actually preferred the overview.

What dreams are made of
You can follow the game but don't expect perfection. Reasonable cost for Premier League football. Proper old school atmosphere. Loved every second.

Meh
Good sightlines throughout. Could follow all the action easily. Night game under the lights. Special. Views are actually better from higher up here. Would think twice at this price again. Could be better. The singing is elsewhere. Anniversary present from the wife.

The complete package
Views are better than I expected for this price bracket. Toilets were a nightmare at half time. Go early. Can't believe the price for these views. Modern football atmosphere. Make of that what you will.

Can't recommend enough
Premium positioning. Worth the extra cost for these sightlines. Been coming here 20 years. This was a new section for me. Could be better. The singing is elsewhere. Front row - as close as you can get. The burger was actually pretty good.

Fine for watching but you miss some details. Neutral at this game - just wanted to see the stadium. Better options for this money.

Outstanding in every way
Can see about 95% of the pitch perfectly. Good enough. Solid matchday vibe. Gets loud when it needs to. Unbeatable value. Perfect weather for football. Crisp autumn afternoon. First time at this ground.

Solid choice
The angle is a bit awkward. Had to lean sometimes. Night game under the lights. Special. Easy access from the concourse. So close you can smell the grass. Happy with the price-to-quality ratio. Could be better. The singing is elsewhere. Solo trip. Sometimes you just need football.

Nice view overall
Standard upper tier view. Expected really. Solid matchday vibe. Gets loud when it needs to. This is where you want to be in this stand. WiFi actually worked which was a bonus. The winner in the 89th minute - place went absolutely mental. Night game under the lights. Special.

Middle ground
You can follow the game but don't expect perfection. Family section vibes. Quieter but friendly. Average value for average seats. Middle rows offer the best balance. The burger was actually pretty good.

Gets the job done
Could see most things. Some moments were hard to track. The Mexican wave went round about 5 times. Good laugh. Back row but actually preferred the overview. Rained the whole second half. We were soaked. Average noise levels for a Premier League game.

The real deal
You can see the players' expressions from here. That close. Clean facilities. Better than some grounds. Bit overcast but stayed dry. The ref gave a dodgy pen right in front of us. Could see it was never a foul. Going rate for football these days.

Couldn't ask for more
Had to watch the screen for some replays. Mid-tier sweet spot. Best rows in this section. This is the secret - don't tell everyone. Uber dropped us by the away end by mistake. Long walk. Couldn't get a beer. Queue was massive. Expected more given the fixture.

Lives up to the hype
Can see about 95% of the pitch perfectly. Good enough. Birthday treat for myself. Red card right in front of us - could see the tackle was horror show. Wall of noise behind the goal. Intimidating stuff.

Pure magic
Happy with the view - could see both penalty areas clearly. Been coming here 20 years. This was a new section for me. Back row but actually preferred the overview. Criminally underpriced. Long may it continue. Atmosphere was alright. Nothing special. Night game under the lights. Special.
