A sell-out crowd is anticipated, but we still have some tickets available for supporters who haven’t yet secured their seat. Tickets are on sale to all Albion fans, regardless of previous purchase history, and fans can purchase up to four tickets for this game, so make it a family event. The club’s online print-at-home feature is the easiest and cheapest way to buy so click here to buy online. Tickets will also be on sale from the club’s mobile retail unit, which will be at Brighton train station all day, until 7.45pm.
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 throughout the build-up to the game.

Printing Your Ticket at Home?
If you chose the Print-at-Home option when purchasing a ticket for tonight’s game, you ticket would have been delivered as a PDF document attached to the confirmation email. This PDF must be printed as it features the entry barcode. One A4 sheet of paper must be used for each ticket and the barcode printed clearly. Please ensure your printer is in good working order and the barcode is not blurry or faint.
Failure to print the ticket will result in joining a queue to have your ticket(s) reprinted. *Reprints will cost £1.50 per ticket. Click here for a video guide of how to print your ticket at home.
Collections: Arrive Early
Due to the short turnaround between the Championship climax on Saturday and tonight’s game we expect a large number of collections from the stadium, which will inevitably result in large queues. We advise all supporters who are collecting their ticket(s) at the Amex to arrive as early as possible. There could be up to 4,000 collections on the night.
Dick’s Bar & Seven Stars Open From 4.30pm
Fans of all ages can enjoy a full evening at the Amex tonight. The Seven Stars family sports bar and Dick’s Bar will be open from 4.30pm serving a range of hot food for all tastes. Concourses open at 5.45pm.
After the game, Dick’s Bar, the North Stand concourse and Seven Stars will all close at 11pm; other concourses close at 10pm.
Travel Guide…Parking Available
Car parking for tonight’s game is available at the Bridge Car Park, just a few minutes' walk from the Amex, priced £15 when you arrive.
You can also book coach travel via our travel partners Seagull Travel, who pick up from points in all major Sussex towns – and even further afield.

Get Your Copy of Seagull
We have another bumper 84-page edition of Seagull tonight with cover star Matthew Upson talking about his Player of the Season award, Saturday’s epic win at Nottingham Forest and Albion’s play-off hopes against The Rams.
We have all the action from the awards night, including interviews with Jake Forster-Caskey, Rohan Ince and Tammy Waine.
Stephen Ward and Craig Mackail-Smith reveal why momentum is so important at this stage of the season, while we also look at Albion’s play-off history.
Former Seagull and Ram, goalkeeper Graham Moseley, talks about the importance of getting to Wembley, while away from the football pitch, we take a look at the Albion in the Community Annual Report.
All this and much more can be found in your award-winning Seagull, available at the Amex tonight, priced £3.50.
Matchday Retail
We have taken a restock of family-favourite products aimed at the younger fans. We have scarves, foam fingers and flags available in the Seagulls Superstore tonight, so pop in when you arrive.
Albion will be wearing their yellow away kit for the second play-off leg on Sunday evening, and we still have an extensive range of shirts available in-store for you to get kitted out. We have the away shirt available in small, large, XL and XXL for £14.99.
Meanwhile we’ve received another small batch of training kit from the football department, and these products will be available for £10 or less. Or take your pick of our new adults’ two-for-£25 and kids' two-for-£18 tees. There are lots of different designs to choose from so make a trip to the Seagulls Superstore when you arrive at the Amex tonight.

The Seagulls Superstore will be open before and after the game with additional outlets outside the North Stand.
