[Albion] FA Cup 4th round ticket sales

[Hotchilidog]

Sadly I am away so will have to miss it. The opponent should be irrelevant, £25 is a bargain to watch us at the moment, aside from Arsenal we are the most entertaining side to watch at the moment. I hope whoever has my seat enjoys the view, it's a good one! Good to see that many STH will be using the guest ticket option to introduce their kids and friends to the Albion, I expect sales to pick up when this option is available.

A few of us are trying west upper for a change

Likewise

It's OK, I stand up all game, I'm sure that's allowed in WSU?

Not if you have bought a seat in front of me. I'll be screaming for a steward to get you kicked out as an away fan who obviously doesn't know how to behave in that part of the ground.

 

[erkan]

Away end will sell out whoever wins tonight.

Yes. This will obvs help the total crowd along and should make for a cracking atmosphere even if Albion areas not completely sold out.

I guess if Liverpool then it will sell out but if Wolves might be 25K+ rather than full. Cost of living crisis is very real and late January is worst possible time of year for many families to find a spare £100+.

Decided to try the East Upper (on the half-way line) instead of our usual seats in the East Lower family stand. We’ll have to move in a couple of seasons anyway when my youngest becomes too old for the family stand, so it’s a good opportunity to have a look at where we might want to go next.

Take sandwiches and use the Park and Ride - simples!

And cycle as well I guess ?

 

[swindonseagull]

Had no hesitation getting my seat ticket at the weekend - just imagine we get to the final and people that bought tickets for the earlier rounds get priority and people miss out because they couldn’t be arsed to go to this game !!!

Won’t happen like that
It would either be priority points first then ST holders

All behind 1901 of course.

People moaning about £25 aren't living in the real world.

It's usually £15 and no travel subsidy against lower league sides, and I think our last FA Cup match at home was about 4 years ago, before prices of most things rocketed.

This is potentially £25 to see one of the biggest sides in the football world. And if they go out, Wolves is still a big game as it's probably the first time ever (well since 83) that we've had a reasonable chance of actually winning the cup. We know we can beat anyone on our day.

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.

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)

The last Albion cup tie I attended was I think Coventry at home. I was recovering from an op for our Wembley visit.

Just not normally into the cups, partly as I knew we wouldn’t ultimately win one.

This is different, this Albion team really enthuses, plus I trust RDZ to play a great starting 11. Many other managers try to be smart arses for cup games, then get knocked out.

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.

Simlar sort of situation here. Got paid on 23 Dec and don't get paid again until 27 Jan. That's 5 weeks at most expensive time of year to stretch the wages out. If the tickets were cheaper I'd probably be on it like a shot. £25 for a match against Premier League opponents isn't bad though.

A couple of posters mentioned the tickets were cheap.
In comparison to our normal cup ticketing prices, this isn't a giveaway price, in my view.

The club are pretty good at pitching a fair price, that enables them to shift tickets.
Charlton and Arsenal tickets were unquestionably cheap and it prompted good sales for the games.

It isn't my contention that the club are ripping anyone off, they'll do ok at this price.
No reason why they shouldn't.

I’m taking my mum to this one so have to wait until Wednesday.

Ticket price is a gamble on it being Liverpool and not Wolves.

Misses a rare chance to marginally recognise less-monied Albion fans - which would have been a good thing to do. #BarberOBEOut

 

[Giraffe]

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.

£25 seems to me like a remarkably good deal for the once-a-season uncommitted. If Liverpool win their replay tonight, would imagine it'll be a sell-out as soon tickets go on general sale

Only going down to A+ members (and guests) atm

 

[ozzygull]

I am bringing my Husband to this, the last game he attended with me was Arsenal in the cup this season.
If we had lost that game he would be staying at home, incase he was the bad omen.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Can’t make this one so hopefully my two seats will go to Albion fans who don’t get to go that often
