[Albion] Albion+ numbers at 25,000

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Quite surprised by the number of Albion+ members!

“We are pleased to confirm that we have now sold out of general admission season tickets and 1901 club memberships for the 2023/24 campaign, in an incredible show of support from our fans.

Season tickets were on sale to MyAlbion+ members for just a week before we sold out, with Roberto De Zerbi’s team set for a club record-breaking season in the Premier League, as we push to compete in European competition for the first time in our history.

We have enjoyed season-ticket sell-outs in the two previous seasons, but this is the earliest point in which season tickets have sold out, and by quite some distance.

Speaking earlier this season about the impact of fans at the Amex, Roberto said, “I have been really impressed by the atmosphere at The Amex since my arrival. The fans make a huge difference to the team, the support they have shown for my players and the way we play has been so important to the results we have had.

“Having a lot of fans there who are familiar with our idea and who back the team is vital.”

Meanwhile, a record 25,000 Albion+ members signed up for the current season, adding further weight to a growing waiting list for season tickets.

With demand for match tickets already at an all time high, and expected to rise further next season, Albion+ membership provides fans with the best opportunity of securing the limited number of match tickets we will have available for our home matches. You can find information on how to become an Albion+ member here.”

Incoming: 22,000 refund requests from those who bought membership so they could get a semi-final ticket, only to find out they couldn’t.

 

[Gazwag]

Assuming that's 20k adults and 5k kids thats approx £600k net extra income

Withdean whole season gate receipts were about £2M I think

Shirely these numbers alone justify us increasing the Amex to 50,000 immediately, which , in turn, is the catalyst for the Monorail?

 

[BNthree]

20,000 Mitoma fans??

Brighton monorail went bust a few years ago I have not heard anything since have you?

Will the slide from the top of WSU bring you to the Monorail station or Falmer station, as per original plans?

A lift up too most definitely would!

Lift? Pah!

Still loads of seats available for Southampton, so must be 15000+ members who don’t want to go to that one.

I'm trying to plant some trees in Ecuador instead of receiving the guff they send me but to no avail for some reason.

Yes but the slide shuts at 89 mins so you better leave before the end of the match

That’s what I heard, should have enough reformed bottle top plastic to make this now a reality

 

[GT49er]

Now I wonder if there's a simple way, at no extra cost to the club, or extra bureaucracy, to ensure that all - or nearly all - of those prepaid-for seats have bums on them come match day?


Nah ..... can't think of one..........

 

[amexer]

Always said sharing scheme came in to increase membership and income. and good for them for the success. Strange though with 20k plus members there are still 100 resale tickets available for Saturday. Maybe a large number signed up for cup tickets. In minority I know but still think it is a shame I cant take someone to a one off game without them having to become a member. The more successful we are the more the club can do what they like which hopefully doesnt cost supporters with there travel survey

 

[Ali_rrr]

I wonder how many of those 25000 MyAlbion+ are based in the UK. Would definitely be interesting to see the split especially considering the tickets available for some games.

20,000 Mitoma fans??

On their way on Shinkansen. At 300 mph it shouldn’t take long.

I can’t imagine there are too many Arsenal, Spurs or Chelsea fans who are interested in watching BHA v Southampton.

I think I am going to have to join with my lad next year. We have previously been able to get to two or three games a year but now it is more or a struggle. It shows the club is growing which can only be good.
