EmersonsRed Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 They know they can charge it though, supply and demand and all that. The shit seats for a grade C game home to WBA are £35 each too. Rip off, but people will pay - today sold out... Edit: Went to Liverpool v Arsenal a few years ago, £65 for a bang average ticket.

The only problem with this for me is the considerations for people that were supporting them at Withdean between 92 and 97 when they were plummeting through the leagues - if these people are now priced out it would be wrong.

Some of them will be priced out, and you'd like to think a family/community club like Brighton would be able to reward loyalty and rinse the johhny-come-lately* fans who are only there to watch the opposition. *always wanted to write that and have never had the opportunity before.

The_Don Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I'm sure the season ticket per game price is more reasonable and the club charge the inflated prices to bandwaggoners. Can't blame them if the demand is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Not that much more than two central seats in the Lansdown stand I guess? They must be pushing £40 a ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booked trains early and paid £26 for the match ticket. Don't think I paid much more than £50 in total and got to see the team I support!
