Cardiff.....almost a sell out!!

[yxee]

picked up one of the last seats in the ESU... for £39 incl. booking fee I can see why they are so slow to sell out!

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

Yesterday I was speaking to a mate who works in the shop and he said we aren't even close to selling out. They probably haven't released tickets for certain blocks yet.

That is a DISGUSTING price to pay for second tier football, actually ANY football match.

Could always pop up to Watford

I wouldn't feel too bad at paying £40 to watch the World Cup Final, in fact I'd think that was reasonable value. Maybe even the same for an FA Cup final. For a second division league game it is an astonishing price. Cant believe people are willing to pay £39 to watch Brighton, but throw a wobbly when the price of a pint in the ground goes up 30p!

Forth most expensive day/night out in Championship football from last years figures

I think many will be shocked and the attendance will be like 22 / 23k - still good but as it is now completely stupidly priced, it will not sell out often...

ABSOLUTELY disgusting. Really have mis-priced that. Even in prem th\t's too much IMO..!

I think you will find that's 4th most expensive mate.

i don't know the prices of bolton/blackburn/wolves but in that list, we are now the most expensive (28 quid is our cheapest ticket, 37 the highest) more expensive than leeds FFS

Good Luck Tonight

There's one half of South Wales (and me in particular) who'll be listening in with interest, backing the Seagulls

5-0 please

So with the price rises recently, we would be 2nd on that list. However with West Ham now gone from the table, and replaced by Wolves (definitely do cheaper tickets than us), Bolton (definitely do), and Blackburn (same again), we are probably the most expensive.

Either way, £39 for a ticket is f*cking disgusting, and i'd never pay that.

 

[n1 gull]

It is outrageous and the communication from the club is shit at the moment.

How the f*** they justify that is beyond me. Maybe if they sign Drogba, but apparently we have a very small budget for new players.

Over half the Blackburn games are CAT B; the cheapest ticket being £15. The highest category, A*, is from £25 for a ticket, that's only two local derbys though.

Wolves offer tickets at £24 to all games, but also do student tickets (under 21) from £14.

Bolton do tickets from £22, and also do 1 adult + 1 U18 ticket deals for £26. But I know for a fact from a mate of mine they reguarly do deals to attract larger crowds to some games.


So yes, we are now comfortably the most expensive. Disgusting.

 

[Mellotron]

Barber's price hikes all over the shop mean we've comfortably overtaken second and third in that list, and top is West Ham who are no longer in this division. Bolton, Blackburn and Wolves all have tickets cheaper than us, so it's official: Brighton and Hove Albion are the most expensive team to watch in the Championship.

This is what everybody fought for 15 years for. To be totally raped by the man who already finds himself in second place on the Albion's list of worst ever chief executives just three months into the job.

Zzz zzz zzz. Why hasn't Tony Bloom gotten rid of him? Oh, because he's doing what Tony wants him to do.

Blocks S1D, S1E and possibly half of S1F have not been released. Together these would hold at a guess about 1600.

Currently 85 tickets on sale - until one of these blocks is released.

Those who are saying the pricing is a complete sham, please remember there are more people in the country on holiday right now than any other time of the year and it's also an evening game.

There will be more here on Saturday, the following home game will be sold out and from there onwards can we only really judge the attendance figures once we are into September.

Please also remember, that if we were kicking off tonight against a team that travel well, then this game would have already/be out to sell out. The only empty areas of the ground tonight will be areas that are available for away supporters.

 

[Captain Sensible]

24k tonight with 3k empty seats due to usual 1k not showing , Cardiff didn't sell out and we didn't sell out. There are more blocks the club could have released.
