Supply and demand innit

if you live in Blackburn you have lots of options for fist and second level football within 25 miles or so.

If you live in Brighton you have one.

Doesn't the travel voucher for the Amex cover the cost from Oz?

Albion ticket includes free travel from Eastbourne, etc

I'd like to see them get from Eastbourne to Blackburn for the difference

I will take a photo of the empty seats for you, unless you are over for the match then you can see for yourself.

In only one of these games can you see the Mighty Stripes. Enough said.

If they have spent all that money coming over just to watch the Albion then another £31 will not go amiss....fair play to them now that is what you call dedicated and committed supporters.

'Rotherham' and 'kids for a fiver' in the same sentence? Is this another reference to grooming gangs?

The answer to the question is £10 each, isn't it? How much is a pint in Blackburn? £2.50? £3.00? And in Brighton it's £3.50, £4, even more? House prices? Chicken Tikka Massala? Things do cost more in the south in general, is that difference in ticket price that big in the scheme of things, when you take into account the travel voucher too?

I'm not necessarily saying it's right, football is far too expensive, everywhere in the UK, but there's a difference in price between Blackburn and Brighton in many things, I guess football tickets is one of them.

past few home games Blackburn has got attendances of around 14000. with highest of 15700 against Wigan, a bit odd given the story in the OP. Brighton's is around 25k.

did they decide to buy the tickets and not look at the price until later?
anyone forcing them to go ?
enjoy !
its a great place and for another 8 quid you get a pie and a pint if you wish but you can take an apple in if you prefer ...
whatever
three points or a good game and it will be money well spent!!

I'm surprised anyone from Brighton can afford to go to football with house prices costing that much.
