Vitality Stadium away guide

AFC Bournemouth away end

The away allocation sits in the East Stand (Steve Fletcher Stand) at the smallest Premier League ground. The visitor section runs across the lower part of the stand, with an allocation of around 1,300 to 1,500 seats limited by Vitality's 11,300 capacity, well below the typical Premier League 3,000. Vitality is a small, compact ground so sightlines are good from the back.

Vitality Stadium bag policy

Bags brought into Vitality Stadium should be smaller than A4. Expect bag searching and tagging at the entry point.
