I think they have sold about 1000 in WSU so far with around 250 left in other areas, so that's approximately 750 tickets sold that wouldn't have been otherwise. Taking concessions into account £15 average per ticket seems a reasonable guess, which after VAT is £12.5. But the club only gets to...
What? You mean you can't just download images off the club website and stick them on some merchandise? Looks like my Brighton and Hove Albion "Guess Who?" game is screwed then.
I expect they struggle to make any significant money from most cup games. Discounting TV money they probably made a loss against Palace, especially as the policing costs were no doubt many times higher than for normal games. Even the prize money for winning is probably less than the players win...
I do find the lack of promotion mystifying. We have a great opportunity to get to the quarter finals for only the third time in our history and yet I can't recall getting any recent emails about tickets. The most recent official tweet I could find was on Feb 2nd and you have to go back to the...
If you look at the source code on the ticketing web page you can determine the capacity for each section. E3A 125, E3B 316, E3C 542, E3D 614, E3E 614, E3F 530, E3G 323, E3H 125. So the total is 3189.
Sunday is always very slow for tickets sales so I doubt we'll sell more than 200-250 today. Monday is always much busier and I'd be surprised if we sold less than 800 tomorrow. So I reckon there will be around 500 left by the end of Monday and they will have to consider opening WSU.
There are still 9 days of tickets sales left. We sold around 1500 yesterday, but that was mainly because it was the first day on sale to anyone with a purchase history. Even with limited choice left we have sold around 130 in a couple of hours this morning. I think we'd easily sell another 3000...
Doesn't look like they will be getting more than 15%.

"Tickets will go on sale initially to Season Ticket holders on Tuesday, 6th February at 9am, with the Sky Blues handed an allocation of 4,529 tickets...
My impression is home demand is fairly strong for this tie. 3100 left on sale at the moment, plus the option of opening up W1A and E1H means something approaching 4000-4500 left in the lower tier. WSU + N2A and N2B gives another 4500. Probably enough to satiate demand, but if not and ESU is...
Very good point. There would be no need to continue all trains to Brighton and terminating them short at Hove or Worthing would surely mean more than 2 tph could go via Arundel in times of disruption. And is the impediment to having 2 platforms at Brighton handling 12 car trains insurmountable...
That was from the 2015 route study. Actually it says to be developed in CP7, so if it happens at all it probably wouldn't commence until CP8. These are very early plans and are unlikely to happen if demand growth slows as the stuff planned for CP6 would probably be sufficient to cope with...
Longer closures are obviously a more efficient way of working, but I cannot see that closing the line for months would ever be acceptable. A large proportion of tourists arrive by train and many of them would choose to go elsewhere or not travel at all rather than endure a replacement bus...
An Arundel chord was investigated by Network Rail in the 2015 Sussex Area Route Study. It came to the conclusion that it did not offer good value for money and was not recommended to be taken forward. The main reasons were passengers would still have a 50 minute time penalty and only one...
You can see for yourself here. You need to scroll down and use the "Check my Journey" bit. Looks like quickest is around 1hr 11 and slowest is 1hr 18. On average they seem to bit approaching 10 minutes quicker than now. It's not 100% clear if this from May or December because if you put in a...
If I have got it right there will be 16 Brighton to LB trains departing prior to 9am from May onwards.
The other thing of note is that from May there will be a train to Falmer from Brighton and Lewes every 10 minutes, 6 days a week, throughout the day. Presumably this is possible because of...
