Anyone considering Brighton away... prepare to be ripped off

As others have said, while fans continue to pay, clubs have no reason to reduce prices.

If they are selling tickets for home areas at the same prices we are paying we can't really complain.

Leeds is the exception, not having any child tickets available for away fans should be illegal.

[Guest mikeglossopowl]

I believe we can't charge the away fans more than our highest price, so I think £26.00 would have been the max last year

Just heard off a Barnsley fan that Brighton are charging £28 to sit in a corner or £34 to sit down the side. It was £24 to sit behind a goal last season, this year, people are being fleeced.

I'm sorry but in the Prem, £34 would be acceptable but not in the 2nd tier.

I'm half wishing I hadn't bothered booking train tickets down. Complete joke and I bet the corner seats are limited as well!!

If you feel the need to apologise for something you say then you shouldn't say it in the 1st place

they do that with home fans as well, once went with my mate about 3 years ago and got told that they don't do kids tickets on the door and the cheapest adult ticket was £28, this was against the bottom of the league in L1. thieving bar stewards.

That's why it got moved to the Friday cus they have a MASSIVE knees up on the beach all weekend

I was expecting this match to be pretty expensive, they have got fairly cheap season ticket prices for home fans so I expect most of the away fans will have to pay a premium price to go to the amex this year. Does anyone know when the tickets go on sale for members? This is the closest game for me so i'll save on travel so it wont be too bad. I'm hoping this will be my mrs first game as well.

So our main goalscorer will be unavailable for that game then, great.

Correct.

It's another way for clubs to offer value to home fans and fleece away fans - provided home fans are prepared to get a season ticket.

Which they have done in big numbers

That view is crap! And the opposite side of the stadium has a stand by where the seats go back like 10 rows! Awful!

Don't think the OP is actually moaning in such about the price itself but more the fact that it's gone up by £10 from from last season, if this is the case then yeah I agree it's a massive hike in price.

Think Ipswich are charging £39 at Portman Road!

Thank you, that's what I meant. I wasn't moaning at the price but the increase.

Son in laws father is Brighton ST holder and is on hols so I'll be there for FREE!

Its a different division!

Anyway I gather the seats are padded so at least your arse wont be too sore after being bum raped at the ticket offfice.

yeh, but you're in the Brighton end.... so someone will want to be in you for FREE !

[dumboldowl]

This, success comes at a price im afraid, and sadly the more we climb the more the price.

Some will be hoping that we don't reach the Premiership / Europe, or they really will have something to complain about.

And if you drop 10 bob on the floor,just leave it ,walk away don't be tempted to bend over and pick it up.
