I'm not reading all that shite - care to summarise?

Ditto.

I scanned to the last post and it was as follows...

What a shame that Brighton's new £105m stadium doesn't have enough room for away fans at a Championship game. What are they going to do int the Premier?

Strangely, our away end at Withdean, had plenty of space for many away fans in the Championship. I seem to recall that Palace had 705(ish) in an away end that held 900 or so.

It will be 30,500 next season :wave: and sell out your allocation first, I expect we'll send you 1,000 tickets just to make sure in the first instance and not waste everyone's time. Silly Nigel!

Just a debate on how to prioritise how they allocate the 2575 away tickets.

Someone reckons he'll just get a ticket in the home end - that'll be one of the easy-to-get 1000 or so home tickets available on a game by game basis then :facepalm:

My Dad's got a ticket in the Brighton end already. He called up AMEX who he was a top credit card with and asked for tickets. They were surprised by the request as they hadn't been asked yet, one week ago they called back and offered him 2 tickets for the Palace game.

I won't tell you where he's sitting, but it's safe to say that there will definitely be 2 Palace fans in the Brighton end.

Shame they'll be upset by the amount of fans cheering around them as Brighton play Crystal Palace off the park ;)

Why yes, a likely story young Nigel. I'll just phone up HSBC and get them to give me a ticket for AS Monaco.

Away fans get a little over 10% of the capacity, seems fair enough. Any team that offers considerably more than that (over 20%) is a bit of noddy outfit.

I'm not so shocked that a palace fan has managed to get a ticket in the Brighton home end, i'm more shocked that he has a credit card!! That and the fact Churley knows who his dad is.

Whether you believe me or not is immaterial, you're probably riled by the fact it means there will be 2 less tickets available to the home fans for your cup final.

No, no I dont believe that a credit card company will provide tickets to someone because they have a platinum card strangely enough.
