South Africa v. Asia 1 (19th September, 8pm kick off) - tickets start for £15 for kids, up to £85.
Somoa v. Americas 2 (20th September, 12noon kick off) - tickets start at £7 for kids, up to £60.

There is a priority period for people that are members of rugby clubs in England. Therefore, as a rugger bugger myself, I am hoping I may be able to get some tickets for the Samoa match before they go on general sale.

My God - makes the football tickets look reasonably priced !

That's what I would've thought, but I bet if you did a straw poll amongst 1901, the vast majority, if not all, will expect their seat.

I think the West Stand Middle will be for the RFU / Rugby World Cup organisation / International Federations / Sponsors.

And as this is not an albion event, then why shouldn't that be the case ???

As the albion are nothing to do with ticket sales, I'm not even sure there is the facility for 1901 priority at all.

The full range of prices for the South Africa game is:-

Cat A £85.00
Cat B £65.00
Cat C £35.00 / Child - £15.00
Cat D £20.00 / Child - £15.00

If you really want to pay big money, you can always grab a ticket for England v Wales at Twickenham:-

Cat C £160.00 / Child - £15.00
Cat D £75.00 / Child - £15.00

The ground holds 30,750 and will probably have 20,000 South Africans in it.

How many nice ones out of that lot do you reckon? I'll stick my neck out and say THREE.

That's the capacity for football, I reckon it will be higher for rugby as there'll be no need for the segregated areas. The South Africa match will probably be the record Amex attendance.

It will be great to see rugby at the Amex. As I'm a rugby club member,I'll have some sort of priority but I tickets will still be hard to come by. I'm going to apply for both at the Amex and England v Wales.

I know a few companies involved in sponsorship so, with a bit of luck, I might watch the latter from a hostility box.

Really looking forward to this

The legal capacity is 30,750.

There aren't, however, 30,750 seats in the stadium, but there might be by the time the Rugby World Cup comes around.

How does our max attendance compare with the other 'regional' grounds, being used.

It would be great for the club and Sussex if we topped that attendance league as well.

We are the smallest football stadium being used, but we are bigger than both of the 'proper club rugby grounds' that are being used.

Twickenham, London - 82,000
Wembley, London - 90,000
Millennium Stadium, Cardiff - 74,500
City of Manchester Stadium - 61,500
Olympic Stadium, London - 54,000
St. James' Park, Newcastle - 52,387
Villa Park, Birmingham - 42,788
Elland Road, Leeds - 37,900
Leicester City Stadium - 32,262
Stadium:MK, Milton Keynes - 32,000 (after expansion)
Brighton Community Stadium - 30,750
Sandy Park, Exeter - 20,000 (after expansion)
Kingsholm, Gloucester - 16,500

Edit - I think I missed your point, I've gone by capacity and not attendances.

It would be nice to sell out and squeak above Leeds in that list.
But that would seem to be as high as we'll be able to go.

I wonder when it's all over if MK Don'ts will do the reverse of stadium expansion and lower the roof and remove the top tier?

Pretty pointless have 6-7000 people rattling around a 32,000 capacity stadium. It seems abundantly clear that they'll never fill it.

Ah...OK. So what is the capacity of the ground for football then. It's clearly not going to be 30,750 because of the segregation but how much can it hold?

My original point still stands though - I reckon the SA game will see Albion's record attendance

Will there a problem that season with making requests for particular weekends as away games.
We'll want to be away for Pride, that day when the Uni carpark is closed, Boxing Day and the rugby match - how many requests can we make?
