[Albion] 12,342 ticket remaining for palace

VAR not rolled out to dreams yet.
I believe it has to be a named fan who is a member, so you'll need to allocate the ticket to them if they are one.
If they are not a member, I guess you could allocate the ticket to any other of your Friends & Family who is not attending the game. I'm not advocating anyone should do this, obviously.

I do see what you are saying, but the fact that it is on a Monday night cannot be used as a reason for mass absence, surely, though admittedly some travel from afar. Have we not have had much larger crowds for league night matches in cold weather with the travel subsidy on, which have also been televised?

Looks like they've decided not to sell any more tickets and take it off the page.
-it's a Monday night
- it's bloody cold
- its another train strike day (with no Brighton - Hove shuttle and severely restricted west coastway service)
- it's live on tv
- CH will not be fieldiing anywhere close to our first XI
I can understand why so many are disinclined to go.
If holding the game on a Monday evening was at the behest of the club rather than the FA / BT then it was a pretty stupid idea. The only way to fill the ground tonight would have been to sell the tickets at a far lower price. It should have been clear to the club that demand would be low and therefore the ticket prices should have been cut. Basic economic law of "supply and demand".

They'll both say it will be strong teams, largely of squad players. That's a world of difference from their strongest sides they'd be putting out if this were a league fixture.
Hodgson (https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/2018/january/hodgson-on-cup-tie-team-selection/): "even though the fans may not like to hear it, I know I am going to give some players who haven't been involved a chance to show what they can do"

Does anyone care if Palace have sold their allocation?
It is not like we have sold ours is it.

Club said via https://www.seagullstickets.com/documents/pdf/1718/HOME_CrystalPalaceFACR3.pdf that no tickets would be on sale to anyone after midday today.
Looks like they've gone early.
There were a handful left last I read. They had to introduce lower and lower loyalty tiers to shift what they did.
Albion fan for 40 years, season ticket holder at all of the Goldstone, Gillingham, Withdean and the Amex, I estimate I have have been to well over 1,000 Albion games, fanzine editor, Albion fansite owner and both of my children have intentionally Albion-related names. I'm as modern football as they come.
I'm not telling anyone who is up for this game that they are wrong. Personally I'm not.
I'm with Bozza on this. And for the record 20 years a supporter. A bit more circumspection maybe.

I was going on the Wikipedia M23 derby page which also lists the results of all the matches. Where is Tim Carder when you need him?

I'm pretty confident we are winning 37-35. Can't see any obvious omissions from this link:

They really don't want people to go do they?
Why limit sales this early? Maybe 6pm to stop those turning up causing any issues, but surely if you just restrict to fan number sales only it's a non issue. All very odd.
It's not but you could always try calling up the ticket office before noon.

I think it said on the site yesterday that no tickets for Palace fans would be available after midday but tickets for Brighton fans would still be available from the ticket office. Maybe they've just taken them down from online?
