[Albion] Europa League - Away game tickets.

[Telboy]

Close I would say - normally 7 days after game.....

If tickets go on sale on the Monday, then I guesss they would be....

Spurs point not on yet

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Got a pretty big capacity Qarabag, anyone who wants a ticket will get one.

oh maybe then...

Spurs point not on yet

Hopefully today...?

 

[Beanstalk]

That's probably the only game I won't even bother trying to get a ticket for. I'll be Top Tier in the others I think.

Similar, very committed to all others, just can't see a way that I'll be able to get there and back for a reasonable price and without using a big chunk of annual leave up.

Think if Baku was drawn there would be club charters organised. There are no UK direct flights

I don't think there would be sufficient time to organise charters. The flight options seem to involve a change via Istanbul.

That would be great, but unless feelers have already been put out, I guess there wouldn't be enough time to organise.

Yes, and the cheaper options involve a long layover.

I’d love one of them “day trips” Thomas Cook used to do for the England fans.
Tickets and money’s one thing (well two actually) but its time off I need to keep an eye on

 

[Notters]

Baku away would be an interesting flight binfest

Pfft, it's only a 62 hour drive (via Turkey, I'm assuming you'd want to avoid eastern Ukraine and Russia).

There are just every other day so you'd have to go on the Tuesday and come back on the Saturday.

Also it really isn't as simple you are making it sound. I don't think the club would have enough time and given they haven't done it for any other games I think it's highly unlikely they would for this.

 

[Anger]

Yes, agree with that - how many will book flights etc. perhaps not knowing if they have enough points if we only have small allocation?

I think about 173 people will do that. Or maybe 174.

Yes, definitely 173 to 174.

As BA are already giving Brighton fans 20% discount on flights, maybe BHAFC have been in contact with them. A plane or two already allocated for March 7th but they just don't know the destination yet. Friday morning they ring Baku or wherever and book a slot.

Are they ? How do you access the 20% discount?

You use the discount code BRIGHTON for flights to Europe, booked before the end of Feb.

It's a lovely idea, but I don't think it is quite as simple as that!

 

[pasty]

Petty much got used to the idea of not getting to an away Europa match as I hardly do any away games so way down on points. Think my only hope would be Milan for biggest allocation.

 

[Official Old Man]

With everyone having spreadsheets for all the transport options surely it's not too hard for the club to say what the cut off point is regarding loyalty points.
For instance, anyone who was in the top tier for Luton knows they are guaranteed a ticket for every game except Sparta Praha, and even then at 970 tickets they should be OK.
Anyone in the top tier for a 3000 ticket EPL game are guaranteed tickets to 5 grounds (Roma, Milan, Benfica, Qarabag & Marseille).
It's those grounds inbetween, the 1500 to 3000 seats, that will keep many waiting to book flights.

Marseillle went to members and didn't even sell out. Any of the big allocations you should be fine. I think people over estimate how many people can/want to travel

Disagree. Marseille was followed by two more guaranteed away games so people were less inclined to travel down there. I think many people could only afford 1 of 3 and opted for Amsterdam given our numbers out there. Also, the amount of people racking up loyalty points suggests high demand
