Does the price for our away end fluctuate depending on the category of game?
Always thought that was hugely unfair when done at other clubs.

Category A Pricing. Is it too much?

I believe so, yes, as part of the "charge away fans the same as home fans for comparable seats" thing.

How soon is now?
We have family over from the US(originally Brightonians) who have never been to the Amex before. We've booked four tickets for them for this game and it's worked out at just under £160 with fees. I'm not really sure what my point is, but that is too expensive for a second tier game and I'm grateful for my season ticket payment spread over a year

The big difference for the club between season ticket prices and one-off prices is that the staffing costs are that much higher. You buy a season ticket and that's over and done with in one transaction. You buy a ticket for each home game, and that's 23 transactions for the club.
Especially given how tight the situation is with regards to the play-offs, perhaps the club should have done more to market and sell a package for the remaining home games.

Seems hugely unfair that someone who supports, say Leeds, could have to pay substantially more over the course of a season following their team away than someone sitting in the same seats at away grounds but who happens to support someone like Yeovil.
I can't afford two games in a week at this time of the year at £42 a go. This game is the more important, but if we win this I will go to QPR.
I'll get a season ticket if I can spread out payments over a year. And a decent seat becomes available.

I received a text at 9am this morning saying about tickets still being available for todays game! Mustn't bee selling very well.

If clubs insist on categorising matches I believe there should be a section of the ground - if only a block or two - where the prices are static.
Don't like the idea of sone fans being priced out of the best games.

You're quite right of course. With travel costs a Reading fan today will be splashing out anything between £60 and £100 for the pleasure of visiting the Amex.
But of 28k attending the game today only 4000 will even be potentially aware of the match ticket cost.
All of football is too expensive but Im not convinced that even if we were among the cheapest (instead of the most expensive!) It would make a massive difference - mainlybbecause of clever marketing.

That does seem to be the main issue now, getting to and from the Amex and how everything has changed since Withdean. PersonallyI think it is all part of the match build up etc and love it.

I thought you were at home by the time its post match
On a serious note..i wouldn't be sitting in my current place if the season ticket was the equivalent of match day prices....but i would start to look for cheaper parts of the ground
