    Started going 70/71 season every home game with my uncle, first season ticket at Upton Park then ever since, apart from the covid period.

    I started going to games in 1962 and when I left school in 1965, I treated myself to a season ticket which I will shortly be renewing for the 62nd time.

    In the early years, I stood on the East Terrace, but later moved behind the goal at the uncovered end. I remember once turning up there in top hat and tails so that I could catch the first half of a game before rushing off to my sister's wedding.

    Went all the way through the Selhurst years (horrible) and Upton Park (better, but I got to hate that Blackwall Tunnel). I was at the first game back at the Valley and moved into the East (Curbishley) Stand as soon as it was built. My seat is right by the halfway line, about where I used to stand in the 1960s .I don't miss many games and hope to see us back in the Premier League before the great ref in the sky blows the final whistle on me.

    I got one for the season we came back, I was paying on the gate up until then. Had one ever since.

    Covered End to begin with, East Stand (as was) for the glory years, Family Stand while the boy grew up, West Upper since.

    The aging process in season ticket form!

    So that makes 1965 the earliest ST on here. Any before that ? What about the 100,000 CL posters that were at the 7-6 game in 1957, didn’t any of them have a ST ?

    1973/74 and every year since.  Covered End throughout and moved to the upper tier when it opened.

    I've been going since the mid 60s but never needed a season ticket until we got promoted in 1998 and have had one ever since.

    First sat at the back of the upper west - was in the south stand till it opened in the 1998-99 season. Moved at some point to upper north (right at the back on the east stand side but now sit near the front of the north upper in the middle.

    Got a half-season ticket at the top of the East/Curbs stand in 1999/2000 - decided that as I'd just moved around the corner, I might as well start going regularly.

    Stayed there for about seven years, then moved to the front of the Covered End upper for a couple more years, then moved to the northwest quadrant where I've been ever since, apart from a couple of seasons off while Duchatelet was around.

    First season ticket was 1985-86. 

    Didn't have one around the move back to The Valley...and couldn't actually get a ticket for the Portsmouth game.

    Had one ever since then and I'm still in the same seat from that first East Stand opening game...4-3 win v Southend. Alan Pardew with the winner.
