Albion begin their Capital One Cup campaign against Football League newboys Newport County AFC tonight, at the American Express Community Stadium.
Tonight's game is an opportunity to welcome our new head coach Oscar Garcia and his backroom team to the Amex, for the first competitive home game since he took over the reins at the Amex.
Fans will also see the brand new LED perimeter boards in use for the first time tonight, which have been installed in front of the East Stand, North Stand and South Stand.
If you have friends or family who wish to attend, tickets are still available for the match, priced from £13 for adults, from £9 for over-65s and from £7 for under-16s (prices include minimum booking fee).
Please note this does not include the usual travel voucher system in operation for our Football League fixtures.
NB: There will be a high number of ticket collections for the game and fans are advised to arrive early to collect their ticket. All the latest team news, travel details and any further match information will be available at www.seagulls.co.uk on our official Facebook page and via the club's official Twitter feed @OfficialBHAFC.
Travel Guide……Parking available
As this is a Capital One Cup match and in order to keep ticket prices as low as possible, the club has not implemented a full travel plan for this fixture.
In summary this means that the park-and-ride sites will not be in operation, and fans using public transport should pay for a ticket to and from the stadium.
Seagull Travel and other coach operators are running services. Fans should check times and availability via their respective websites.
There is car parking available at the Bridge car park. Supporters can pay with cash on the gate but please note there is limited parking available. The Bridge car park is just a few minutes' walk from the Amex and is just £10 for this game.
Food and Drink
Tonight's fixture provides an opportunity for you to grab a meal deal, with chips available from the centre kiosks in the West lower, East lower and North Stand concourses. This will be part of a meal deal which includes a hot item of food with chips and a soft drink for £8.50 or upgrade to a pint for £9.50.
Meal deals are also available in all other kiosks and include two items for £6 or three for £7.
A hot food item and a soft drink - £6.00 - SAVE 10p. Add an alcoholic drink for £1 extra - SAVE £0.80.
A hot food item, soft drink and a snack (crisps or chocolate bar) - £7.00 - SAVE 40p. Add an alcoholic drink for £1 extra - SAVE £1.10.
Guinness is available in the North Stand kiosks 1 & 2 and in Dick's Bar; while Dark Star is also available in Dick's Bar as requested by fans - and if sales go well the club plan to continue stocking both products this season.

The East Stand shop and the mobile units in both the West and North Stands will also be open before the match but these units will not be open after the game.
