Leeds United are the visitors at the Amex tonight as Oscar Garcia’s side look to pull themselves to within one point of the play-off positions – kick-off 7.45pm.
Brian McDermott’s Leeds side themselves are just a single point behind the Seagulls so the stakes are high for both sides.
The club’s family sports bar, the Seven Stars, and Dick’s Bar will both be open from 4.30pm until 11pm, enabling fans to enjoy a drink and food at the Amex before and after the game. Meanwhile, concourses will open at 5.45pm.
Tickets for the game are still available and the club’s online print-at-home feature is the easiest, and cheapest, way to buy. Click here to buy online. Supporters can buy tickets in person on the day from the stadium ticket office and from the mobile retail unit situated outside of Brighton train station.
All the latest team news, travel details and any further match information is available at www.seagulls.co.uk, on our official Facebook page and via the club's official Twitter feed @OfficialBHAFC in the build-up to the game. Plus check out our YouTube channel for free post-match interviews and highlights.
NB: Supporters who bought tickets online and opted to print at home are reminded they must print the pdf attachment on their confirmation email which has a ticket barcode. Failure to print the ‘print-at-home’ ticket will incur a £1.50 per ticket reprint fee, which will be charged at the ticket office. We advise supporters to arrive early for collections at the stadium.
