Where to sit at St Mary's Stadium
For Cardiff, the lowest resale listings are in the Chapel Stand, behind the south goal. That end borders the away section, in the south-west corner between the Chapel and Kingsland Stands, where visiting fans have had safe standing since 2024/25 and enter through Turnstile E.
Opposite, behind the north goal, the Northam Stand is the home end, for Saints fans only. The touchlines are the Itchen Stand (east, the main stand, with hospitality) and the Kingsland Stand (west), outside which the Gasworks fan bar sits. On Hellotickets, Shortside is behind a goal, Longside along a touchline and Central near halfway. The St Mary's Stadium seating plan shows each block.
