The East Stand

[Wilka]

Time to make tickets £15 and get a few more bums on seats. The few people who have season tickets should be offered refunds for the remaining games, or relocation or the option to leave the money with the club.

I don't know how many people that stand holds but if we get 800 people in at £15 thats an extra £12,000

£24.50 is simple to much for the floating fans to pay for league one football.

While I agree with the sentiment I can't help but feel the refunds to the 4,000 season ticket holders might offset the extra revenue.

i have no idea about this but i reckon all the money from season tickets probly been spent now so cant see how the club could afford to refund us sth`s. agree that price needs to be dropped or give loads of free tickets away to schools and clubs as we will make some money from progs, food, shirts etc

 

[Wilka]

I only ment refunding the few season ticket holders in the east stand! There can't be more that about 50!

You would only refund anyone with a ST in the East Stand. As its am inferior view to the South and North you would expect it to be much cheaper anyway.

Best view I have ever had at Withdean. And the tickets were cheaper

Yes, my season ticket is back row centre.

The view is great from the very front, but there is nothing stopping people move nearer to the back

Talking about the East Stand- as student tickets are only £17, I wonder if the club advertise at the unis or any of the colleges/ sixth form centres around Sussex?

How would you feel if ticket prices were slashed to £15 like I sugguest? Would you want a refund or would you view it as money that has already gone and not worry?

Personally, if it meant the stands were full, fan-bloody-tastic.

I purchased a student season ticket at the start of the year (£277), so it works out as £12 a game for me.

I'll be happy if they slash tickets to £15 (and lets say £12 for concessions) if it means more bums on seats.

If I had paid for an adults season ticket, I would expect a refund for the remaining games.

Well, there we go. Club, please take note.

I think the problem with this idea would be the away stand would also have to have the prices at the same level.

Something needs to be done. Ticket prices are clearly a major factor in the low attendances. Some of my mates who hardly ever come to the Withdean might be tempted back if they could get in for £15

It might encourage more away fans to come. They have such an awful view, I expect many wish to stay at home than pay £23

There are adverts at some of the College/Uni sites that i've noticed at Brighton, although they offer 'Championship football for £15' or something like that, probably produced for the Luton game last year.

 

[Braders]

yeah seen a few small posters at CCB recently

as for the view its terrible..





... you can see the pitch and EVERYTHING!

To be honest, many neutrals at my college will still think 17 quid with a tudent card is still a rip off!

For me, I try and go to many as possible, but it is hard for neutrals.

Someone year below me, Norwich supporter, has a soft spot for Brighton and has no intention of going because of the price.
