I know its a bad time after being robbed this afternoon but how does the ballot work for a group to sit together if and when we return.

There are 4 of us do we have to each register separately. I tried to register for all 4 no way. Do we need fan numbers??

Thanks for this but where do you find Friends and Family?? Been looking for 15 minutes no luck.

My Friends and Family includes Mrs Earle and our son, so I can buy for all three of us. But the Ballot site seems to think I have three tickets in my own name and so will only allow me to buy a group of one, just me. Any tips anybody? I can't grab the wife and son across to my group.

Select three people for your group, when formed there will be three of you and you change the other two to wife and son

Presumably same process as buying cup and away tickets for family and friends

Go here: https://tickets.brightonandhovealbion.com/en-GB/events/ballot grouping/2021-5-31_23.59/ballot

You then have a process that is like buying tickets for a game - you allocate each "ticket" to each member of your group.

Anyone know if you can be in more than one group? Usually I go with my wife but chances are she’ll have most of her Saturdays booked up with work due to the uncertainty. Alternative for those matches would to be to go with other family members that I don’t normally sit with, so can I be in their group too?

Seems unlikely as I’d be getting 2 places in the ballot I suppose?

No you can’t - once your fan number has been included in a group it can’t be applied to a second group. Confirmed here :

Thanks. Do you think there will be more that one price level available to a group or is it clever enough to know what price group/stand you are currently in?

Thank you. But when I select three people for my group at the number stage, they are all me on the next page. There doesn't appear to be a facility to change the other two to my son and wife. All I can do is delete two of me, but that just leaves me in a group of one. I buy all our Cup tickets via Friends and Family which shows correct on my Profile screen. Anyone else encountered this problem and rectified it, or do I need to make a call to the club tomorrow?

There should be a pencil edit icon alongside each name. Click on those to change the name which, as you say, will all be pre-filled with your name initially.

If they are in your friends and family, when are at the stage where all the tickets are in your name you should be able to select each one individually and change the name to your family. I did this to get my wife and I into a group.

I am assuming that your family members have STs of their own so the system recognises them.
