Hampden Park Seating Plan: A Complete Guide to Every Stand and Section

Hampden Park Seating Plan: A Complete Guide to Every Stand and Section

The Hampden Park seating plan is split into four main stands: North, South, East and West, with each stand broken into lettered and numbered blocks that wrap around the pitch. The North and South Stands run behind the goals, while the East and West Stands sit along the touchlines. Blocks are labelled by letter (A to P) and further divided into numbered seat ranges, with turnstile numbers marked outside the ground to guide fans to the nearest entrance. Below is a full breakdown of every stand, block and entry point, plus practical tips for choosing where to sit.

Quick Overview

If you only need the short answer: sit in the West or East Stand for the best sideline view of the pitch, use the North or South Stand for cheaper end-on seats, and check your ticket for a letter and number (for example B4 or J1) which tells you the block. Turnstile numbers are printed on the outside of the stadium and correspond to specific seating sections, so match your ticket to the nearest turnstile before you arrive.

North Stand

The North Stand sits behind one goal and is split into four blocks. Blocks C1 to C5 and D1 to D5 form the upper central sections directly behind the goal, offering a straight-on view down the pitch. Block B1 to B8 sits to the west side of the North Stand, closer to the West Stand corner, while the Skylounge Entrance and Exit 24 serve the central blocks. Exit 15 and turnstiles T30-39 and T40-49 sit along the outer walkway that curves around the north side of the ground. Fans heading into blocks C and D should use the entrances closest to the Skylounge, while those in block B should follow signage toward turnstiles further along the T27-29 and T21-26 range.

South Stand

The South Stand is the largest and most subdivided stand at Hampden. It runs behind the opposite goal and contains ten separate blocks: P6 to P1, O2 to O1, J2 to J1, I6 to I1, Q6 to Q1, N1 to N4, M4 to M1, L4 to L1, K4 to K1 and H6 to H1. Block P sits toward the west corner of the South Stand and blends into the West Tunnel area, while block I sits toward the east corner near the East Tunnel. The smaller blocks in between, O, J, N, M, L and K, form the central seating directly behind the goal.

This stand also houses the ground's main pedestrian routes. The West Tunnel and East Tunnel both open into the South Stand concourse, and this is where you'll find the Ticket Help Point, VIP Uplift and the Main Door. Turnstiles for this stand are numbered T1-2 up through T102-109 on the west side and T80-83 through T92-96 on the east side, with accessibility access clearly marked at both tunnel entrances.

East Stand

The East Stand runs along one touchline and contains two blocks: F1 to F7 in the northern half, closer to the North Stand, and G1 to G8 in the southern half, closer to the South Stand. This stand faces directly across the pitch, giving a full sideline view of both penalty areas. Turnstiles T60-69 and T70-79 serve this stand from the outer walkway, with a run of turnstiles continuing down to T80-83 near the South Stand corner. There's also a covered area to the northeast of this stand used for hospitality and broadcast facilities.

West Stand

Mirroring the East Stand, the West Stand also has two blocks: B1 to B8 toward the north end and A7 to A1 toward the south end. Block A sits closest to the West Tunnel and the South Stand corner, making it one of the more convenient blocks for fans arriving from that side of the ground. The West Stand faces the East Stand directly, so seat quality is broadly similar between the two, and the choice usually comes down to which side of the ground is closer to your entry turnstile.

Turnstiles and Entrances

Hampden Park's turnstiles are numbered sequentially around the perimeter of the stadium, and each range maps to a specific stand:

• T1-2 and T3-5: near the West Tunnel, serving blocks P and Q in the South Stand
• T6-11, T12-14 and T15-20: along the west perimeter, serving the West Stand
• T21-26, T27-29 and T30-39: continuing north, serving the North Stand's block B and the Skylounge approach
• T40-49 and T50-59: serving the central North Stand blocks C and D
• T60-69 and T70-79: along the east perimeter, serving the East Stand
• T80-83 and T86-91: near the East Tunnel, serving blocks H and I in the South Stand
• T92-96, T97-101 and T102-109: the final stretch back toward the West Tunnel, serving the central and western South Stand blocks

Matching your ticket's block letter to this list before you travel will save time on matchday, since Hampden's turnstiles are spread widely around the ground and walking the wrong way can add a significant detour.

Accessibility

Hampden Park provides accessible entry points at both the West Tunnel and East Tunnel, each marked with wheelchair symbols on the seating plan. The Ticket Help Point, located near the West Tunnel, is the best first stop for supporters who need assistance locating accessible seating or have questions about their ticket. Lift access is also available near the VIP Uplift area by the Main Door, which sits at the southern point of the stadium between the two tunnels.

Choosing the Best Seats

For the clearest view of play, the East and West Stands offer the most balanced sideline perspective, with the upper rows giving a fuller view of tactical shape and the lower rows putting you closer to the atmosphere pitch side. The North and South Stands, being behind the goals, are typically better value and popular with fans who want to be close to the action during attacks toward that end. Central blocks in either end stand, such as C, D, J or O, sit directly behind the goal for the straightest possible sightline, while corner blocks like A, B, F, G, H, P and Q offer a more angled view across the whole pitch.
