I think you will find tickets were only on sale to certain people at BCFC today like season ticket holders

Er, get your facts right first though!
Tickets went on sale today for priority groups (so thats our 8'300 season ticket holders and about 1'000 other fans from various schemes)
Each person was only allowed 2 tickets so we'd only have sold 16'000 or so at the very top today.
We'll sell out our allocation, no problem. We took just over 39'000 to the LDV last year, and christ, its only 40 miles over the pond.

as TomF said we are only selling to season ticket holders and priority groups today and tomorrow- and with it being 2 tickets per person there is a maximum of about 17,000 tickets we could sell this weekend.
10,000 on the first day is what I expected. Maybe 5,000 tomorrow.
THEN general sale starts for us on Monday. Certainly a fairer system than the one you guys had to use BUT it does mean you will sell more quickly.
I'm sure both of us will sell out our allocation.
Unigeezer- what extra 20,000 corporate seats? If we have 34,000, you guys have 31,000 then only 7,000 are for corporate sponsors, FA etc etc

You could sell enough tickets for every seat in Cardiff and still be small. We are and we finishedin seventh place. It is silly but simply won't change

I shouldn't worry about such labels. It's just other club's fans trying to knock you- if they have nothing else to take a dig at you for then you have nothing to worry about!!
Charlton are superb. Great team, nice stadium and rightly where they are. I am surprised anyone calls Brighton a small club at the level you are- I have always believed Brighton are the same "size" in terms of support as the likes of Bristol City, Stoke, Reading etc etc- in fact I wouldn't mind betting actually bigger given the stadium and a tiny bit of success.
Conversely we're always labelled a "big club" not by our fans but by others. It's the way people try and justify defeats and make wins against us seem even better. It's very boring and tiresome.
Clubs get where they get because of the team not the number of fans- and in Brighton and Charlton's case neither club can be labelled small.

The fact is, without the sponsors, the stadium wouldn't have been built at all. I believe that even now, the Millenium Stadium struggles to make a profit in a fiscal year.
definatly 7000 too many. this always has been a bug bear of mine. the big occasions are for the fans not some businessman and his mates that all support man utd.
how can they justify this when its a sellout and fans of the clubs miss out on what could be a life time opportunity.

Priority purchasers at Bristol City have been limited to two tickets each.
When tickets go on general sale, purchasers will be limited to four tickets each.
The Club have contracted out the general sale of tickets to an agency.
God knows how much moaning there would have been if the Albion had adopted the same approach. I know that the party I'm going with wouldn't have managed to get seats together with the BCFC system.

Wise words, Lord B. Most of us will be sitting with friends/acquantances, whereas the BCFC lot won't be.

Damn right, Ed, can you imagine the moaning on this board if people had had to pay ticket agency preumiums as well?
I'm going with Mrs Gwylan (who's never seen Brighton lose), a mate who lives in Oxford but who manages to get to several games every season and another mate who can also bring his two sons, one of whom has never been to see Brighton before. It's going to be great that we're altogether and it's particularly great that two youngsters who don't have a chance of getting tickets normally are coming along.
That wouldn't have been possible under the BCFC system.
