Should we inform? Might have "acquired" it during the riots.

Its true that the club are looking into a beamback to Selhurst. BHA and the FA have said its a goer.
Brighton v Palace - Beamback to Selhurst? Yes/No? - CPFC BBS

The last of the 2500 away tickets for Brighton v Palace on Tuesday 27th September sold out within a few hours of going on sale to season ticket holders and members last Monday. Undoubtedly, a lot of people who wanted to go to this fixture at the Amex have missed out.

We have asked BHA, the FA and the Football League for permission to "beamback" the match live to Selhurst and we have just heard that this has been agreed.

We will need at least 1000 people to attend in order for this to be a viable proposition as we need to pay for the uplink, satellite time and the downlink to Selhurst Park. So, the question is...Are we on for this? We need to make a decision by Monday (12th) and if it's a "yes" then tickets will go on sale immediately. The idea is that we will open up the upper tier in the Holmesdale Stand so fans can watch from either the upper tier on the giant screen, or inside on the concourse or in the Red and Blue bar on the new flat screen tv's. We may change this subject to ticket sales.

Not only have Brighton agreed to the live feed but we can also have copies of their match programme for this first ever "local derby" at their new stadium. It's a glossy, 84 page, laminated and bound job .

We would propose charging, for advance sales, a £10 entry price to include the programme, or, a group ticket for 5 people at £40. Tickets on the night would be £15 each. The reason for the increase on the night is to encourage fans to purchase in advance so that we can plan catering/bars and stewarding more accurately.

What do we all think? Is there demand for this and how big is that demand? As an added bonus, Palace Ale will be served......and we may even get the Crystals along ! Steve Browett.

And you thought we would have a problem shifting tickets.

That all sounds a bit pony to be honest. According to your mates you could have sold your Amex allocation 3 times over but now your not sure if you can get 1k at your hovel. Sounds a bit desperate.

We get padded seats, a roof and plenty of leg room. Suddenly half of Norwood wants a piece of it.

Plastic scum.

 

[little al]

Desperate? How many other clubs do beambacks because the demands for tickets is so high? We have had beambacks before and they have been very well attended.

And you thought we would have a problem lifting shirts.

 

[Garage_Doors]

Do the Albion get a cut of the proceeds of the beamback ?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Can we get a beam back from outside the ground after kick off? I don't fancy standing shoulder to shoulder with the Selhurst scum. It would certainly appease McBeth and the fellow moaners.

Oh what an achievement, getting 1000 locals to walk to your hovel...............expect it's free anyway.

Read what I posted dickhead.

Not sure. I know that we were only able to look at it once it was sold out for both sides, so you don't lose any revenue from sales.

 

[Kazenga <3]

I would go as far to say it is our cup final too. There are two sides to this rivalry...

Don't get all touchy, we don't care if you want to screen your cup final at your sainsburys stadium with a hand full of nigels watching via stolen TV.

One of my work mates is having to drive past The Amex to get to Selhurst for the beamback!!
