I feel very lucky and Privileged to support Brighton, with all the high and very few lows,
I thought it was only peterborough this year that was standing only ?
Aren't Yeovil and Exeter standing only?

Here's a suggestion:
If you are determined to/obliged to/medically have to sit down, please feel free to ignore your allocated seat and take up a position in the front 5 rows.
The rest of us who are happy to/want to/prefer to stand will take up positions behind you and generate atmosphere by singing/chanting/shouting until we lose our voices.
Now that is a sensible suggestion,
except i too will singing/chanting/shouting until we lose my voice., just doing it sitting down whilst looking after my father & young son

No, Every club as to allocate some seating. With Exeter, it's one block in the old main stand.
Nowhere is standing only. It used to be good when you had a choice as you could, say, stand up most of the time but sit down if you were knackered. Now you have to stand up when there's a terrace as you may never get the chance again.

We all stood last season, and that was only about 10 rows from the front. So 'the back' will constitute anything beyond 5-10 rows from the pitch...

Does anyone know if you can pay at the gate in parts of the ground other than the away section? It's been ages since I've been to an away game (shame!) but I might make a late decision to go to this one.
Are there no restricted view tickets left at the club shop?
If you want your allocated seats because you have dependents, I think the best thing to do is to arrive early. Common sense, IMO, because ultimately it's almost impossible to determine how this is going to work out on the day.
The bloke at Southampton who arrived 5 mins late and expected his seat to be empty was a bit naive and a total bellend.

we always arrive late and head to the rough vicinity of our ticket, ie the block . there is no chance the seat will be free . so just stand where you want. funny though that at villa our seats were free . in the corresponding fixture last season in the bit where i was standing there were about 2 people 2 every seat . my calves took a pounding that day

Hardly thieving a seat is it? The bloke had a ticket of his own but someone was sitting in his seat. I imagine because someone was sitting in that person's seat, and it goes on...
The only way to absolutely guarantee your allocated seat, as Simster says, is to get there early.
I think you need to read the whole story. Away end seating has always been pretty much unenforced, and the bloke who nicked the seat only did so because someone was sat in his own seat. I just think turning up after kick off is asking for trouble really.
I am suprised by the amount of complete bellends that turn up after kick off and kick off as someone is in their seat, because someone is in their seat, because someone is in their seat etc etc. We usually head to the nearish area and if someone is sat in our seat, no problems we'll move. It is the way it should be for away games.
Nearly got in a fight at an England game because some fake stone island clad yooof, turned up 20 mins into the game waving their tickets around in a totally packed away end.
As everyone has said, if you INSIST on your seats, get there early. If you WANT to sit down for most of the game, go down the front.
But threats about throwing out fellow Brighton fans is pretty off-form
