Albion have landed a £144,000 bonus thanks to their FA Cup showdown with the holders.
The Seagulls will receive the cash windfall after their fourth-round tie against Arsenal was selected for live screening by BT Sport.
Albion will take on Arsene Wenger’s men at the Amex on Sunday, January 25 (4pm).
The league game against Ipswich originally scheduled for that weekend has been brought forward to Wednesday, January 21 (7.45pm).
Should the Seagulls draw with Arsenal, they will make their first ever visit to the Emirates on Wednesday, February 4.
The TV fee is a handy increase on the £123,500 Albion received three years ago when their 1-0 win over Newcastle was shown live at the same stage of the Cup.
Prize money for fourth-round winners remains unchanged since then at £90,000.
Season ticket holders can secure their seats for the Cup tie, for which Category A prices apply, from this Friday.
They can book online from 10am or, from 2pm, purchase in person at the Amex or by calling 0844 327 1901.
Bronze and Young Seagulls Plus members can buy tickets from next Wednesday with sales to any other fans with a purchase history scheduled for Monday, January 19, subject to availability.
Full ticket and travel details can be found at seagulls.co.uk
