The Spurs game is definitely reduced capacity

[TS90]

Don't know the exact number that the capacity will be but I do know the away fans are getting around 1300 tickets.

Good, why give them too many? I trust we will make the away section as small as possible so that more of us can get in.

It is no big deal for spurs fans is it?

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

are we the away team-be interesting

 

[OSRGull]

ffs.

Might have something to do with being a ramp up event

I thought that the Albion stated earlier in the year that the Sussex senior cup final would be 10k capacity and the friendly would be 17k capacity

Half the Spurs fans live in Brighton anyway - it'll be a home match for them

its to do with health and safety

my point entirely

Same thing really as you need the events to get the safety certificate for the stadium

Would the club get the safety certificate before or after the ramp-up events, anybody know?

Of course its a ramp up event, its before the first league game,..... but I would question the wisdom of making the first time we have a capacity crowd actually on the first league game,...... seems a little limiting to me,..... how will they be able to iron out the wrinkles before the main event if they havn't experienced a full house?

 

[slinky]

when will the spurs game tickets go on sale?

 

[BrightonGuy]

Before they are allowed to have a full capacity they have to have ramp up events to check all sorts of things like health and safety, number of staff neded, time it will take for the stadium to fill and empty, check all security camera etc
They will have part of the full certificate beforehand but they have to prove and that is 100% safe what the ramp ups are mainly for. But there is no reason to worry about health and safety in ramp ups

hope this helps

Yep, that's exactly what was said.

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

After the ramp up events when the club's shown that the stadium is functioning safely and correctly and all the associated support functions (eg the transport management) are too. The council will then presumably sign over the lease for the land on which the Amex is built at the same time, ready for 6 August.
