The Bees called Griffin Park<\/a> their home since 1904, sharing it with the London Broncos and Chelsea Football Club at various times. Given the age of the stadium, it was inevitable that Brentford would need to either upgrade the facilities of Griffin Park or else move elsewhere, with the club eventually opting to do the latter. The club originally submitted a plan to move to a new ground in 1973, though that never transpired.<\/p>\n

It was in 2002 that confirmation was given that Brentford would eventually be moving, though it took another eighteen years for that to actually happen. The idea was to move to a community stadium that could be used by more than just the football club. One such group that are using it alongside the Bees is London Irish rugby union side, who confirmed that they\u2019d be using it in August of 2016.<\/p>\n

As of 2022, the stadium is being sponsored by Gtech on a ten year deal, so is officially known as the Gtech Community Stadium.<\/p>\n

The stadium has a capacity of 17,250. Those seats are laid out in a bowl style, though in a smaller manner to some of the more impressive metropolitan stadiums on the continent. The South stand is the most impressive, holding the lounges etc.<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n

Brentford Ticket Prices<\/h2>\r\n

Ticket prices for Brentford games are easy enough to understand. They put their matches into two main categories (A and B) and within each grade they charge more or less depending on where in the ground you want to sit. You\u2019ll also pay a different amount if you\u2019re an adult, a junior or a senior citizen.<\/p>\n

The prices are a little less for those buying tickets in the family stand, and you can also splash out and sit in the dugout.<\/p>\n

Brentford Members get priority access to home games as well as a \u00a35 discount on ticket prices. Here are the cheapest and most expensive tickets for adults and concessions in each of the categories:<\/p>\n
