Very suprised how many empty seats against Norwich. Fully understand not been able to go but cannot undrstand not passing ticket on. I go with 4 others and if we cant go tickets are always sold or given to someone. I have 3/4 people that cant go all the time are pleased to buy when i cant go. If not i give to someone that cant afford it. Not one of our seats has ever been empty

I noticed quite a few in the Norwich end after those fourth and fifth goals went in 
Half term innit.

Not all people are local which makes it harder to shift tickets and also ensure they are returned afterwards.
Lots of sickness going around and lots of families that miss games. Also half term so people have been away.
Throw in all the 'odd' seats that didn't sell (ignore that guff about a sellout) and there's your answer. No biggie, the crowd numbers were staggering on Saturday for an Albion game in October. Just shows the appetite for being at the top end of this division and the football on display.

Seats sold figures stated was just over a thousand less than capacity, how many of those make up keeping the fans apart I'm not sure.
From my seat in the WSU I didn't notice large areas of empty seats just one's and two's dotted about, other than a slightly larger are of empty seats in the Norwich end.

Loads of empty seats with 10 minutes to go. Can't believe after a performance like that you'd not stay to clap the team off, head into the north, have another pint and carry on enjoying what was an amazing day to be an Albion fan.

My son works and sometimes cannot go. I have no-one local to pass the ticket on to and the restriction on the number of upgrades means that sometimes it's empty.

I had guys looking for tickets Saturday I would rather give my ticket away than leave an empty seat I see different guys in seats every home game I bet lots of fans are sharing tickets.i think the club should run a ticket exchange as it may actual lead to more season tickets sales if it was marketed correctly.

Very true
Why not pass it onto somebody on here? I have done in the past without problems

not this old chestnut again !!! Not all sth's live in or near Brighton, for various reasons we live elsewhere (therefore not plastics !) and cannot always make the trip. Openly admit to being an armchair supporter for televised games, saving me a 220 mile round trip......and as previously stated, very difficult to loan ticket out and get it returned.

It was this observation which prompted my thread about fences as there is a large amount of seats in the segregation area.

1901 members can easily transfer their tickets online.perhaps the club should consider making this facility available to all season ticket holders

Half term was the major factor i would imagine
Indeed. However, I opened this thread to comment on how, looking down from my front row WSU seat, I was amazed at how many 1901 middle tier seats were empty on Saturday.

I can't make every game obviously, I asked the club about this as I didn't want to see my seat empty when I can't make it. Not interested in making money off it, just free to anyone who my step dad wants to take. The club were very helpful (as I can't physically hand over my season ticket as I use it for travel)

I wonder how many of the 4000 big game fans will turn up on 11th Feb (Burton) or a Tuesday 14th Feb (Ipswich)?
And then there's the 'I've been a fan since 1963 when Man U, Liverpool et al start arriving but the ground is full and they cant get a ticket to see their favorite team playing away at the Amex.
