I've never lived south of London but support Brighton as my Dad took me to his home club when I was seven. Not choice just circumstances.

Not sure if I'm gonna keep my season ticket, but if I do you'd be very welcome to have it for a game for £20 or whatever you can afford, especially if the game's on telly. Sorry if people have already offered, havenae read the entire thread

Evidence can be manipulated and is boring, gut instinct is somewhat exciting.Surely evidence is as good as it gets?
If you are not already a high court judge, please may I recommend this as an inspirational career swerve. And just to let you know, I'm NOT guilty.
You didn't call me m'lord and my gut instinct says your as guilty as f**k.
ST continue to be excellent value IMO, and there are 22,000 of them sold for the forthcoming season.
Downside is you'd have to sit next to me.

They are and don't think the club could do anymore in that regard but not everyone has the time to commit to a ST and match day pricing up and down the country is spiralling out of control. It was not that long ago Ipswich were asking £45 a seat for away fans that is simply obscene. It would be great if football could remain something that is accessible as a one off treat for a family every now and then but it is now priced a unaffordable luxury for many.
If I did not have my ST I would not consider my match day priced ticket value for money.
We can all point to supply and demand, that our pricing is in line with other clubs etc etc but I cannot help but feel a little sad that attending a football match is becoming a luxury for the few when it should be for the many
Still looks like a pretty good offer - unless PB gets wind of it, of course...............
I understand your point of view, but if people attend a cat C match then it is still good value for money.
They will still be seeing a Premier League match, albeit a less glamourous one, but at a far lower price, but with a much greater chance of seeing an Albion victory to compensate.
If you go to the cinema, concert, theme park or any other family activity then prices are expensive.

= a great strategy to prevent the very young seeing Albion games at the Amex, meaning many of the next generation get hooked again on Liverpool, Arsenal and ManU.
Deja vu, but this time due to the sheer cost to parents.
Absolutely this - if your circumstances are such that you are able to attend most - if not all - of the home fixtures at The Amex - fine. If your circumstances, for whatever reason(s) (and there are myriads of valid ones) do not allow you to do this, you're in a much worse position, especially if you are only ever going to be able to attend occasionally.

Tones of 'heartless Spuds fan Barber, unilaterally ripping the beart out of the club, behind the back of the naive local nice guy Bloom'.
But that is the price for a cat A game. There will always be those that can't afford new prices just as there are likely to be those that can. If a parent wants their kid to be an albion fan then get them to cat C games as often as possible. They still might end up being Arsenal fans but when are they ever going to see them if they baulk at £15 for an Amex ticket when the cheapest Arsenal ticket is more! For cat A games, for members, child price is £24 in lower tier and £32.50 in the upper. Problem is the accompany adult price is £64 and £84 respectively!!! (although fair to say Cat B and C seem better value!)
Even the cost of bronze membership is cheap compared with similar schemes of other premier league clubs. Someone I know signed their kid up to the Palace equivalent and for a child it was £50, I think.
Is that why he's offering his ticket? ?

those buggers -murrey,baldock,knockhart,hemed have a lot to answer for ffs!!!!!!!!!!
we jumped into bed with the devil--now we have to play his tune (I think theres a better one out there--but very tired)
our pricing is in line with others in this league, we will not lose the younger ones same as other clubs who cannot just magic up seats when they need to .
there were times you couldn't get in the withdean for love or MONEY..............blar blar

Not being up on all of this, I take it that it is all about getting tickets for away games? Not that it affects me as I don't bother with away games these days ( haven't been to 1 in the last two years)
Have they changed the rules about home fa cup games? They are still your own ST seat first I assume?

It is a big ask to spend that money on football for a lot of people, so you aren't alone and it is unfortunate. Keep on following the Albion, be an armchair supporter by all means but to get your live footy fix my advice would be go and watch non league. The clubs are crying out for your pocket money and you can stand and have a beer on the terraces which is a good laugh if you can rope a buddy or 2 into going.

No because the feckin stupid email that the club sends out after each season calculating your distance travelled is usually inaccurate by a few thousand miles.
