I'll be there in spite of having to get up for work around 4 hours after. Must we seemingly revel in the amount of tickets on the exchange each week?

 

[Sussexscots]

The three of us have decided to go so that the people who sit next to us don't have to spend the game in the company of some 'Brighton & Sussex Kopites'.

Altruistic at heart, we are, even though after today, my enthusiasm, already low, is rock bottom and two of us are on an early flight Tuesday.

Hope they've not listed their tickets.

Quite a few 1901 tickets in amongst that number I guess.

The one thing I’m not doing is revelling in non-attending Albion fans.

It feels to me as if this season, there has been a noticeable shift in both STHs attending and non-STH buying up the seats listed by STH.

So, to try and put some data against that hunch, I've started to track exchange ticket availability periodically, as it's probably the only metric available to a third party.

Short-term, it doesn't make much/any financial difference to the club - exchange seats have already been sold once, but it could become a vicious circle. If the likelihood of ticket resale reduces, fewer people will renew their season tickets.

It already feels as though the club are struggling to sell as many STs this summer as they want to. If more people don't renew the number of new STs they have to sell increases, and where to those new buyers come from?

It's in all of our interests that we have an Amex packed to the rafters with supportive fans. I feel a bit worried about that right now.
