Ticket sales seem a little slow for this one. Are you holding off until closer to the game or just not interested?

Kuipers deserves a good turn out.

I think the problem is the 14,000 season ticket holders saying Who?,i find it concerning that the North stand has only sold about half the available seats.

I think a big issue is the Chelsea game, such a big glamour match. I'm going to both, but looking forwards to the testimonial much more.

Because the club have arranged a friendly 4 days before against massively more attractive opposition...and decided to charge absolutely disgusting prices for it.

Doesn't help that half our new fanbase probably haven't even heard of Kuipers

Combination of things. Withdean fans not on hol will be there, but a lot of the new fans won't know him, which is a shame. Plus Chelsea being 4 days away and very expensive plus people on holiday will keep the crowd down unfortunately. I am going to Kuipers but missing Chelsea as i am not that bothered at the prices but want to support Michel for all the great Albion experiences the teams he played in gave us.

Am going to the FDM's match but not Chelsea. Still deciding where to sit though. WSU not available so trying to decide either WSL or North

I really think that if you call yourself a Brighton supporter and you aren't away on holiday/working etc. then you should be at this game to show some emotional and financial support to one of the heroes of our clubs' more recent years.

It's only £15 quid....... go for it!

Got my tickets the day they went on sale and am bloody looking forward to it, can't wait to see the new ground improvements. I hope he gets a good turn out but think a combination of the CFC game, midweek fixture and middle of holiday season will all contribute to the numbers being down. Anyone know roughly how many tickets have been sold so far?

I don't buy the 'people dont know who he is' argument. The vast majority of new STHs are returning fans / previous occasional attendees who were just not STHs at Withdean, I reckon most know who he is.
