Albion host Premier League Hull City in the FA Cup fifth round tonight, with the opportunity for a place in the quarter-final stage for the first time since 1986 – kick-off 7.45pm.
Following yesterday’s draw, both sides know that their reward for a victory tonight will be a home tie against Sunderland in the next round, so Oscar Garcia’s side will be looking for huge support from the Albion fans tonight.
All supporters are reminded that subsidised travel is NOT included within the ticket price for this game. Fans collecting tickets tonight are urged to arrive early for this match due to the high number of collections anticipated.
The club’s family sports bar, the Seven Stars, will be open from 4.30pm, while Dick’s Bar will also open from 4.30pm serving a range of food and beverages. Both facilities will close at 11pm. Meanwhile, concourses will open at 5.15pm.
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 this evening from the stadium ticket office and from the mobile retail unit situated outside of Brighton train station. Again, please allow plenty of time to purchase your tickets.
All the latest team news, travel details and any further match information is available at www.seagulls.co.uk, on our official Facebook page and via the club's official Twitter feed @OfficialBHAFC in the build-up to the game. Plus check out our YouTube channel for free post-match interviews and highlights.
NB: Supporters who bought tickets online and opted to print at home are reminded they must print the pdf attachment on their confirmation email which has a ticket barcode. Failure to print the ‘print-at-home’ ticket will incur a £1.50 per ticket reprint fee, which will be charged at the ticket office.

Important Travel Information
All Albion fans are advised to allow extra time when travelling to the Amex tonight, due to travel disruption resulting from recent adverse weather conditions.
Major disruption is expected on rail services - with a stretch of line at Patcham flooded - meaning no services between Brighton and Hassocks. Click here for full details.
The Mill Road and Mithras House park-and-ride sites are open, but both are expected to be busy - so fans are strongly advised to arrive early. Fans who have not pre-booked and wish to pay on the day for park-and-ride should use the Mithras House site (priced £4 per adult and £2 per junior).
Car parking is also available at the Bridge Car Park, just a few minutes' walk from the Amex, priced £15 on the day.*
Remember, if parking is booked online or via the ticket office in advance of our postal cut-off two working days ahead of the game, it is available for £13.
You can also book travel via our travel partners Seagull Travel, who pick up from points in all major Sussex towns – and even further afield.
Food and Drink
Tonight’s special pie will be the ever-popular Chicken Balti pie, and this will be available in all concourse kiosks.
Meanwhile, the guest ale for this fixture is Traditional Bitter, brewed by the Old Mill Brewery. This will be available in East Stand upper, East Stand lower and West Stand lower concourses from the north-end kiosks, from the centre kiosk on the West Stand upper concourse, from the centre kiosk on the North Stand concourse and in Dick’s Bar.
