agree totally the sussex fa will all be there (tossers) lol just there to admire the stadium where us true fans have travelled the length and breadth of the country supporting our team(s) it amazes me that when the big guns come to town in football matches you see plastic football fans and armchair supporters turning up....pisses me off. see you at the game!!!

Here's hoping. Can't see this is true as normally the Sussex FA would probably take a couple of hundred (at most) tickets so they would find it hard to justify needing 6000

sell them? once they've offered and sold to all their interested members, they pass them back to the club to sell on their behalf. at least i'd hope so, by "allocating" the tickets to the Sussex FA they get the money whoever sells them.

No they shouldn't. We're not the home side, it's The Sussex FA's match, why should they give tickets away for free!?

Like the FA cup every team that has taken part in the Sussex County Cups will be entitled to either 1 or 2 tickets from Sussex FA. Putting the coin on the other side had the game been at Eastbourne or Crawley how many Brighton fans would have gone to see the reserves 1000 probably at the most, so no great grounds for complaint. What were the attendances at the previous rounds?
First ramp up event Sussex senior cup final, second ramp up event is the spurs friendly.

Will the club demand payment up front from Suusex FA for the tickets and then allow them to sell them on.

It is my understanding that the Albion will try and get as close to capacity as possible, so as to prove it all works before the season starts & thus obtain the Certificate. I for one will be a little miffed if after all this time. Withdean/Amex Season ticket holders could miss out on the One game we have been waiting for for almost 15 years.

I think that the Sussex FA should be made to distribute the tickets to the NIMBYS of Falmer and the Lewes Borough Council, just so they can see for themselves exactly what they were protesting about!

EB to get 1,500
http://www.eastbourneherald.co.uk/sport/eastbourne-borough/1_500_tickets_for_senior_cup_final_1_2720746
And there is no mention of 1901 members having priority over other s/t holders

But what's amusing is the SCFA find the distribution of 10,000 tickets "daunting" (compared to the usual 500 that can't get rid of for love nor money).

I am sorry if I say the wrong thing BUT the club has agreed the use of the stadium as a ramp-up event with a view to obtaining a full safety certificate for the Amex.
Does it honestly matter whether you or I are there on that day or not because, FFS, given the attendance is limited to, is it, 10,000, we cannot all be there anyway. On the other side of it, there is the Eastbourne Borough Club and their supporters and to them, this is the biggest event of the millenia. Let's not piss on their parade because, by the way we have the Spurs match and then, wait for it, the first Championship match at the Amex - how cool will that be ? So let's take what comes without getting too upset about it !
Also I don't agree with the Sussex FA receiving gazillions of tickets which they will be struggling to find a home for so I hope that they will agree a sensible distribution of tickets and PS. I have no connection with Eastbourne Borough FC.

You, and a lot of people have not understood what this game is about.
This is the Sussex senior cup final that Brighton reserves have qualified for, wtf has Withdean got to do with it?
When I started this thread a month ago, I had been told that both home and away teams would get 2000 tickets with the remaining 6000 to be distributed by the Sussex FA to all other clubs that are affiiliated, this I believe to be the normal allocation of 20%/20% and 60%.
This is not an Albion home game, this is a Sussex FA game that Brighton offered their new stadium up to be used as
part of the ramp up events.
I would love to go, as an Albion supporter for over 30 years, I can't wait to see our fantastic new stadium but if I can't
get a ticket then I will wait my turn until I can.
Obviously you have no connection to Eastbourne Borough FC.
By saying this is the biggest event of our millenia is a joke
