[Albion] FA Cup 4th round ticket sales

[Super Steve Earle]

Discounted to £20 each for me and Mrs Earle plus £15 paid for The Bridge. Mrs Earle has barely left the house for 3 weeks due to some Superbug (think Covid without the red line). I wouldn't wish it on her or anybody, but without going out, little shopping trips and a lunch or two out, our finances remarkably robust for this time of year.

Currently 12,247 to sell.

Pretty certain we have to agree prices with the away clubs so not just down to us.

I know some don't want to pay but struggle to believe people don't consider this a fair price compared to the league games against Liverpool (I appreciate it might be Wolves).

 

[Bob!]

Thought I'd look at 1901 prices for this. (no, it's not cheap)

Do we still get loyalty points for home cup games?

Yep. I think I read it was five for this.

 

[Peter Grummit]

Similar boat.

Two tickets - £50, parking - £15 (although getting a ticket/place might not be easy) and the lad's pie and Coke - £8 (and whilst it's perfectly valid to say "eat at home" - having an Amex pie is part of the occasion for him). The money can just be better spent right now. I may have a change of heart nearer the time, if tickets remain available, but right now it's the sofa and TV for me.

(And, to be clear, I'm not moaning about £25 - which I think is perfectly reasonable - but for me, right now, I'd rather not spend the money)

Far from it for me to suggest how you live your life (honest!) but I would be tempted to ask the lad if he'd like to go even if it meant going on the train and forgoing the pie and coke. Having dragged 3 lads up to be solid Albion fans, it never did any harm to get them to think about the trade-offs in life and Albion-fandom.

Thanks, makes sense. I recall it was attendance only which I guess they can track with the zappy things.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

£25 is a bargain

Absolutely it is, especially in these days of inflated prices. You would be hard pressed to get into a game of non league football for a fiver now.

Much the same boat that l'm in, yes l think £25 is very reasonable, but it isn't as if us season ticket holders miss out on footie at the Amex.

I'll be there for the Bmuff game a week later anyway, so happy for someone else to take my seat this time . . . providing they look after it of course.

£16.00 to stand (and get soaked) at Dorking Wanders for a Conference game.

£25.00 at The Amex v either Wolves/Liverpool seems very reasonable to me.

Especially as the loyalty points will help towards our European away games

 

[LamieRobertson]

That's fair. If it's Liverpool it feels the right price to me. If it's Wolves it's over priced by a fiver or so.

That said I'm not going to watch the opponents I'm going to watch the best Brighton side in history and for that reason alone £25 if pretty damn cheap overall. I'd also add De Zerbi has so far shown he is very happy to put out a strong side for the cups so every chance this will be another strong side not the smattering of reserves/kids we have suffered under all managers since Poyet onwards.

I’d say it’s a fair price for either side ..did u watch their first game? Wolves looked the better side imho and under the new manager and recent signings look a far better side than they did this season under BL

 

[SUIYHP]

£25 is more than reasonable. If Liverpool win tonight that is essentially a half-price ticket to see a repeat fixture for last Saturday (albeit one with debatably more or less stakes depending on the point of view and whether Brighton’s priority this season should be to qualify for Europe, compete for silverware, or both). If Wolves win that is still a fair discount on a tie between two Premier League sides.

 

[arewethereyet?]

I'm not moaning about it.

Just found it odd that people considered it to be cheap.
It isn't. It's comparable/top end to most cup games.
Charlton away was £15. That was cheap, IMO.

Plus the travel costs involved, not a cheap excursion.

Same, I've swapped NS for WSU as I've never been up there before. If I've pinched someone else's seat - you should have been quicker

If you’ve taken my seat in Block F of WSU … that’s fine as I’ll be at my granddaughter’s 3rd birthday family celebrations … with the game on the TV in the background (Peppa Pig can sod off for 90 minutes)!

 

[dazzer6666]

I've just looked at 3 other clubs and their prices.

Derby charging £21
Stoke £25
Man Utd £45

These were the cheapest I could see for an adult ticket, so comparable.

Whether that's correct or not is another matter.

Bet none of them include travel either

 

[Sheebo]

Away end will sell out whoever wins tonight.

You rewally think Wolves will take 4.5k o. A Sunday to us? Not sure sure…

 

[BN9 BHA]

A few of us are trying west upper for a change

Which block are you in?
