"Plan your away days" the club tells us...

[Bozza]

"With Albion back in the Championship following a five-year absence, and next season's fixture list announced, it's now time to plan your away-day journeys...."

Brighton and Hove Albion | News | Latest News | Latest News | Plan Your Away Days

How does anyone plan anything when no-one has a clue if they'll be able go get a ticket to any specific fixture.

 

[Mellotron]

Do we know exactly what the order of priority is for Away games?

1. 1901 members
2. ?

 

[Postman Pat]

Also Sky/BBC will be picking the games they want. A chance of a move of day/kick-off time.

I was planning on buying my train tickes when I get paid later this month BUT I dont think I'll bother with games like Pompey as there's no guarantee for a seat + they are close enough for trains to be cheap enough anyway so will leave until I know about tickets.

 

[Giraffe]

I think they should be more worried about helping people to plan how they're getting to and from the AMEX. getting to and parking at Barnsley will be a piece of piss.

I'm waiting to see exactly how away games will work before detailed planning. I guess that with the now 'points' system (that has yet to be revealed) there will probably be a new priority system for away games.

Cardiff, Leicester, Derby and Middlesborough are the only games this year that it's worth getting advance tickets for, the rest can be done cheaply with groupsaves.

 

[Gazwag]

We cannot even plan our home days yet, all we know is the fixtures

Only pompey is guaranteed to sell out. Palace won't on a Tuesday. West Ham might.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Untill we know what the ticketing policy will be. How the hell can we plan our Away Days, when the fixtures have only just been announced. And we aint even started Pre-season training or even Friendlies yet so this is just crazy.

 

[Superphil]

Yay, something to complain about.

Palace will sell out no matter what day it is

Didn't last time

When Southern had their special offer a few weeks ago - a 90 per cent discount on advance train tickets bought on-line - I had this BRILLIANT idea that:-

1) Saturday 13 August was bound to be an away game;
2) Cheap train tickets to London would save me a fortune on at least a bit of the journey.

Now the fixtures are out ... it's effin' Pompey away on that day.


Anyone want to buy two return tickets from Lewes to Victoria? I'll take 50 pence for the pair.

... People with loads of POINTS.

Presumably, 20,000 of us will get points for going to the Donny game.

That should sort out priority for Pompey tickets.

Perhaps they will dish out points based on use of the facilities at the Donny game e.g.
Harveys/Dark Star = 10 points
Lager = 2 points
Pie = 5 points
Burger = 5 points (bonus point for chips)
Replica shirt = 20 points

You're not the only one.

If it is anything like other clubs it will be:

1901/Corporate members: 2000 points
STH's: 1000 points
Other fans: 10 points for every game attended.

With the points totals being wiped clean at the end of each season. Thereby ensuring fans that have bought the most tickets in the current season get priority after 1901s and STHs.

 

[Notters' Dad]

I could happily book accomodation and transport (where not using the car!) now for the away league games I want to go to all season. If it was a theatre, I could book most tickets now too. Football doesn't currently work like that and I may not know until a week before the game whether I'll get ticket, or, in some cases, when the game will actually be. Tricky planning that!

 

[Gritt23]

West Ham might.

West Ham WILL sell out. It's 4 games from the end of the season, so it could well be the day we are mathematically promoted.
