Are the club looking ahead when contactless payment is the norm on various forms of public transport ?

[Albion] AMEX transport - are the club thinking about ditching the subsidy

Maybe not, but that's £35 per ST holder going to the club instead of the transport companies. That's nearly enough for a £20,000 a week player - worth doing IMHO

Why? Make everyone who starts or goes through Brighton go through the barriers and that will catch a whole load of people.
Personally for me, if the levy is scrapped I will quit getting the train and drive and park within walking distance (quite where I'm not sure).
This is not workable.
Why not? The number of people who go through the barriers at Brighton station between 6.00 and 8.00 on any weekday morning must greatly exceed the number who go to Falmer for any game - the station seems to manage that lot without a hitch

will ticket prices be reduced, in view of this?

Why? Would take a bit of redoing the q but numbers wise I can't see it being a problem.

You are assuming that £20,000 a week will go towards a player? Maybe l'm being cynical, but it may well be spent on something else.

A few thousand sleepy commuters is a very different animal to 20+ thousand pissed up football fans.

That would be ridiculous and show that the travel line last yr was a part excuse for the rises (which lets be honest it partially was I'm sure - they would've worked out what the transport would cost when originally pricing the ST). I absolutely think you're correct though, unfortunately
I'd vote for bringing them back.

Didn't the questionnaire specifically say "if we remove the travel surcharge from the ticket prices..." or words to that effect?

The exact words of the question are in the first post thony.
