Albion host Huddersfield Town tomorrow and it’s the last Albion game before Christmas, kick-off 3pm.
We have a host of festive treats for supporters coming to the game, with the Salvation Army band and carol singers singing some festive favourites on the external concourse and inside the stadium before kick-off, while face painters will be entertaining in the family areas.
The new sports bar at the Amex, the Seven Stars, will open for the first time at 11.30am, and we welcome a family-friendly facility for supporters arriving early or wishing to stay later at the stadium – the Seven Stars will close at 8pm.
Dick's Bar will also be open from 11.30am and both bars will be showing coverage of the Liverpool v Cardiff City Premier League match and the QPR v Leicester City Championship fixture, while serving a full range of food and beverages. Concourses will be open from 1pm.
During the half-time break we’ll be staging a special penalty shoot-out competition. Five young fans will be selected from the crowd before the game, so come along dressed in your festive outfit to be seen.
Post-match, the Millwall v Middlesbrough game will be on TVs from 5.30pm – along with our usual post-match highlights of the game. Dick’s Bar will be open until 8pm with live music.
Tickets for the game 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 on the day from the stadium ticket office and from the mobile retail unit situated outside of Brighton train station.

E-Cash Guide
Our Seagulls e-cash system is more rewarding to those fans arriving earlier and staying later. Click here for full details.

The American Express Community Stadium is a no-smoking venue. Fans should note this also includes vapour and e-cigs, as this encourages the smoking of real cigarettes, and does not fit with the club’s non-smoking policy.
