PALACE TICKETS
Some questions not worth starting a thread for.
We can charge what we like (no £30 away limit) so away tickets £52 to pay for the damage.
Will the whole stadium go on sale from day 1? I want three for this game but if restricted to one (LP's) and then two more when more go on sale I wont be with my family.

Pricing this high (Cat A pricing) is one way to suppress demand and keep the crowd down.

From the FA Cup Rules:

"The Away Club’s spectators can only be charged more than the home team if agreed by both clubs."

Hate this attitude by football fans.... if teams like Brighton, palace, WBA stoke etc can't be bothered with the FA cup what's the goal? Coming 10th ? And that's it !!

Totally agree. Especially as we're still banging on about 1983 to this day.

Irrelevant that it's Palace, the early rounds of this competition are so devalued now, it's not worth a ****.

I guess after the TV choices have been made. I don't think they'll take too long though, as all these games are just over 4 weeks away and there's Christmas post etc to get in the way of ticketing.

My view too - I didn't vote because there was no box for how I felt. I've see Albion v Palace everywhere from Stamford Bridge downwards. I heard Gerry's leg break, I've skipped out of the Goldstone and slunk out of Selhurst. I have no plans to watch this fixture again.

Unfortunately that is correct, the main aim for Brighton is to stay up this season, however much fans want to see two strong teams lining up in a derby it will never happen, you can blame the fans but its the clubs that make the decisions and devalue the cup.

Charging more means some can't afford it and might try rushing the fire doors again though.

I'm going.

Perhaps Palace will get their hoolies to behave this time. Then we can enjoy the rivalry. I expect things to be different this time.

How cute, if all of those wankers had just behaved themselves last week, they would've all been able to get tickets for this one.

****ing idiots.

Just a question if the police knocked on some Palace doors and took some of them in for questioning could they release them on police bail to await further investigation but impose a curfew on going within say 30 miles of The Amex as a condition of this bail. Or is that an infringement of their human rights?

Why bother? Just hit them up with banning orders. There doesn't seem to be much justification required for magistrates to hand out 3 year banning orders.

I doubt very much the police and stewards are going to let a repeat of last Tuesdays shenanigans to happen again. Expect even more checks to stop un-ticketed fans from getting anywhere near the Amex (or Brighton for that matter).
