Just so you know, we've had a sell out 'like Cardiff' for every single league and cup game bar our 1st round games in the lg and FA Cup verses Gillingham and Wrexham respectively which both topped 18k.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Palace expecting crowd of 18-19,000...so thats 8,000 empty seats

Sunderland wasn't a sell out and Gills was 16k. Still bloody good though.

Oh didn't realise cos i couldn't make Sunderland - think ticket prices were high or something too if i remember correctly. Either way, yes, very good indeed. I think these '3 blocks' of empty seats to seperate the fans will help Palarse a lot cos it will give the impression it's more full than it is.

I'd fully expect you to. You're in a new league with a lovely new stadium and loads of new fans as you're the only club for miles. Once you've been around this League for 35 years, you've got 712 teams in a 20-mile radius and your stadium starts falling down, talk to me!
Any sort of sellout at Selhurst is a cause for celebration (and admittedly surprise). It's not like we have a small fan base, we've just got a distinctly average sized fan base and a few more that come for big games.
Given a new stadium and winning the League the season before, I'm sure we'd sell out every week too. While your attendances are great at the moment, in the not-too-distant past they really weren't.
as i got wiser i realised some wanted more than that , bloke i worked for was a top bloke, followed the gunners but also the Albion, took me up to Highbury to see Arsenal v Westham , stood in the clock end and witnessed my first bit of crowd Violence ,bit of a shock but soon got used to it
I would have thought that Arsenal v West Ham, especially many years ago, must have been carnage, was it two big mobs or just a few mouthing off?
Bold Seagull
strong and stable with me, or...
Any talk of an 'unofficial' block or area in one of the Palace stands that we could adopt and try to get tickets for? If (like the Amex) there is an area always left for general sale, could be turned a bit blue and white for the evening!

Please go in the bottom of the holmesdale in the corner and bounce up and down at a different beat to the twats following the drum. Probably confuse the weirdos and hopefully they will put their stick through the drum.
I would be proper peed off if a drummer started up near me. Are the seats cheaper over there because of a) the annoyance factor, b) the fact they are restricted view (unless you are a top draw bouncy chappy)

Unless you're up for a singy-drummy-bounce you don't sit in Block B. Everyone in that corner is up for it, and it's the first block to sell out every week.

One of the most sensible comments on this thread . The trouble we are having is to get a ticket you must have previous booking history , stopping the casual fans coming or potd . You seem to be having the same problem selling your allocation through the same strict criteria , As i have said on another thread the police have a big say on this , believe it or not , and imo they are spoiling matchdays with there heavy handedness ( as you will find out )

They've got a mental system in place. Pretty much you need to have been to every game from 4 months before you were born to get enough give-Brighton-money points, which is why they've not sold many.
the police are the reason
?is that why they are letting leeds have even more potd,with their rep ?Glenn-Murray

Leeds were fine at the end of last season. We won 1-0 and they were quite pleasant and very loud all the way through.
Brighton vs Palace is clearly a much more... errr... delicate affair.
You do talk some tosh at times El Pres. They took a 2 goal lead in the 90th minute and we left in droves and I was one of them. Get behind the Albion for the final 2 minutes of a game we had lost....... stop talking rot.
Fair enough.

Whateverhappenedto.......
If Palace sell out at Selhurst then fair play to them and their decision to send us the minimum amount of tickets will have been justified. However, looking at their turnout for Millwall (15,000 of which 2.5k were Millwall) and West Ham (20,000 of which 4.5k were W.Ham) then this looks very unlikely.
They seem to play around with their own capacity to suit themselves - is it 26k or 22.5 ? This is what is causing the problem with Albion fans - many people wanting tickets wont get them and their is likely to be thousands of empty seats available on the night.
A bit tinpot wouldn't you say ?
