Albion return to action at the Amex tonight for the first time since the Blackburn visit over three weeks ago, and with it being the first game during December there will be a festive feel around the stadium.
Tickets are still available and the club’s online print-at-home feature is the easiest, and cheapest, way to buy. Click here to buy online. Supporters can buy tickets in person from the stadium ticket office up to an hour and a half before kick-off, or over the phone on 0844 327 1901.
Alternatively season-ticket holders – who haven’t already done so – can pass a significant saving on to a non-season-ticket holder by forwarding their unique promo code in the ‘Recommend a Friday’ email received yesterday. Season-ticket holders will earn Seagulls e-cash rewards in return.
