IMO thats why the club should have differentiated the offer. More facilities on West, cheaper on East. It's the oldest trick in the business book (see 1st and 2nd class post/travel) because it gives an entry point to more people, in line with their expectations of value.
The East Stand loses its uniqueness and on my view thats the one real disappointment with an otherwise fantastic stadium build.
I agree on both points but since it's been confirmed that both the east and west are the same, I don't agree that the east should be randomly cheaper. Or rather, I wish it was, but it makes more sense from the club's perspective that they're the same price.
As a compromise I wonder if the seats closer to the halfway line will be more expensive and then gradually getting cheaper as you move towards the goal and/or further from the pitch. It may well be that for a seat near the corner of the East Stand is roughly the same as what it always was with the difference being that the halfway line east stand seats are now "premium" etc.
