Are you being given an opportunity to go back upstairs ? How does that work?
It's the same membership, just I have seat downstairs this year rather than book one in the reserved bay every week on level 1.
It was a compromise to supposedly keep a group of us together. Entitlements are the same as sitting on Level 1.
Club has said no issue giving up the reserved part next year and going back to 'first in first served' flexible seating.
