Yeah looks it. You can click on more info now and it’s showing 2924 seats available. That’s the whole south stand minus the seats reserved for comps.
maybe they think in the week before Christmas there may not be high demand. But I am definitely hoping it gets down to Albion+ members and bag a couple of tickets.
At the moment it definitely looks like just the 3000 south stand and with what some of your fans are saying on your forum it could be the case that one side of the ground may well be quite empty, which would not seem right. Will be interesting to see what happens when we sell out that stand which, even allowing for the xmas effect, i am confident will happen.
If Charlton sell better than expected (unlikely) we can open the top tier of the West Stand. The east stand will be available. It’s just an access issue and the police might have a say.
are people serious gonna squander fifteen quid for five loyalty points? They can have some of mine for half that price if they want them that badly
I take it you have no interest in going then?
Will be interesting outcome balancing that midweek pre-Christmas effect with this being one of the most attractive Albion away fixtures in recent years. I can see all of the people I know who pick and choose away games wanting to go to this one.
Exactly how can you describe this as 'one of the most attractive Albion away fixtures in recent years'? Have you missed out on the fact we've been travelling to premier league grounds for the past 6 seasons (admittedly some of those grounds are shit though).
Poor!
I’m not sure where you’re getting that figure. At £15 a ticket and proceeds split, plus the cost of stewarding etc Brighton would need to fill the East Stand in addition to the away end to get near that number. I can’t see it, but maybe the lure of a night at the Valley is stronger than I realised.
I may well be an optimist but i still had to do a double take when i read this post. Agree that xmas will have an effect but do not forget we took 7000 to the last round of the same trophy, midweek, in London. Now i know you will be saying " but that was Arsenal " however for some (see post from @Simonf93 for example) going to the valley will be a positive. If it is only to be a 3000 allocation i confidently predict that will sell out on the morning of the 3rd day at the very latest. i fully expect for those starved of Albion action to create a demand of about 5000 especially with prices of £15 , £10, and kids for £1!
‘It’s not all about Bournemouth, Brentford, Palace and Fulham, son. In the old days we used to have to go to stadiums like this.’ He won’t believe you.
He will probably think most of the away sections in the Premier League are shite when he’s in the away end at The Valley.
