FA support the ticket allocations etc.

No South Stand tickets for albion at all.
So what is the maximum capacity for this one now ?

I tried buying a seat other than my own but the little drop down box by the fan's name where you select someone from your list wasn't there. Hence the system thought I was trying to buy all the tickets in my name, which of course it refused.

Exactly the same as me, l feared l had left it too late, but a nice chap called Jordan in the Albion ticket office secured my seat for me.
In utter disbelief at how many tickets are still available, must be upwards of 12k.. Granted a Monday night makes it difficult for some, but we've had decent crowds for other midweek games this season. Let's hope that ticket sales pick up, or that the club introduces some sort of offer to make it more affordable, not that £25 is particularly bad as it is.
A half empty ground for an FA Cup game against our biggest rivals is going to look seriously embarrassing.

over 13,000 still to sell ! I am totally embarrassed by any Brighton fan saying they don't fancy this game or this game doesn't matter. We need some sort of rally call on NSC to get the stadium full . This is the season of our dreams, we have just pulled our biggest rivals out of the hat in the cup we should be falling over ourselves to get tickets for this.

100 Harvester points would help ticket sales ( but perhaps not crowd size
)

It's a real shame. I don't understand why people don't want to go. Surely a few Palace numpties havent scared everyone off?

Transport grief that the post match special train disruption to an evening service causes ?
If they got them onto the train and out of dodge asap it would help, but the wheels of Southern Rail turn slowly.

I live in London and rely on Southern to get me to and from matches including midweek. The service and disruption is often appalling but its never put me off actually attending a match - especially not one against our rivals. I just don't geddit.
That and the fact that we've dared to LOSE a couple of games recently. Welcome to modern football. It's shit.

There is a difference when the match is already paid for though in the ST.
The post match special train has significant negative impact on the 'usually delightful' Southern Rail experience. If it was in the afternoon, then not too bad, but for an evening game it means added misery.
Everyone is going to have their reasons. Scheduling is the issue for me.
I would have taken my son if it was over the weekend, but it's a school night and we live in London - so we'll watch it together on TV.
Really can't be doing with the Southern lottery on a Monday night.
BTW, only around 10,500 Palace fans went to their last FA match, against Man City. That was at home and not on TV.

The club chose Monday evening (I know they had reasons). Chris Hughton normally plays the reserves (or 1st team squad members lacking games) for FA Cup games and there has been no indication that this game will be any different. These two points will put people off going.
I am not necessarily saying playing the reserves is the wrong thing to do but if the club don't treat the FA Cup as important as the league then neither will the fans.
