How many non seagulls fans do you know that are now trying to go to every game?

Meopham, Kent.
Have I missed something here ? How can they not be Albion fans if they go to every game ?

This.

Not everyone has just one team they "support" and remain that way forever and a day. Anyone who is now going regularly to the Amex has started supporting this club of ours, and that's fine by me.

Didn't wanna wait in the queue then?

Oh well.

Sorry, didn't make myself very clear. My mistake.

I didn't want to wait in the queue to explain what I'd already explained to them in the shop last week. The tickets had all gone by then.

Is the Palace game the first you have tried for tickets?

Silly old bat
Is it a problem with the card that you are trying to use, rather than the online ticketing system itself? Ie. is it a debit or credit card?

I can't understand how you haven't got this sorted before now if the Palace game is not your first attempt? Or am I missing something?

I can't understand it either. Hence my postings to that effect.

To be honest, I don't think the response you got in the shop was acceptable, and isn't my experience of the ticket office at all. For them to say "its a problem with the website, write to the club..." when you are standing there in front of them to get it sorted just doesn't add up (not that I'm doubting what you've written).

I appreciate it might be too late for the Palace game now, but I suggest the next game you intend going to, you go to the ticket office in person and don't leave until they have sorted it out, ie gone through the online purchasing process, using your current details which has failed you so far. They have always been more than helpful in my experience in updating details from their database (there was a problem with my sons details as they had him down as Adult instead of U18, which they rectified there and then). Maybe you were unlucky with the person serving at the time, but theres no reason why they shouldn't be able to resolve this issue for you.

Yep. In 2012 or 2013, I think it will happen.

With the long gap from the P'Boro game .... to LFC, Leeds & Palace, I have withdrawal symptons of wanting to see this exciting team Gus has assembled, in the still incredible venue.

My view is there are lots of different types of fans. The fanaticals who are Brighton through and through, the casuals who come and go and the newbies who have probably been waiting for Falmer. There are also the people who may support another team but still want to watch their local club. Nothing wrong with any of these, they all pay their money which is great for BHA.

This.

I have followed the Albion's results ever since I can remember. Since I've only just turned 15, this season was the first season that I have felt that I can get a season ticket and feel that I can look after myself enough to go with a mate. Previously my dad was taking me to see Eastbourne borough and I was happy with that and I enjoyed it, but it's nowhere near the experience I get now at the Amex each week(not that I would expect it to be).

I also follow arsenal and west ham because my dad is a big west ham supporter and my grandad was a big arsenal supporter, but we never really got to go much because it was always quite expensive.

I always hate it when people say "you're not a true football supporter" just because you follow more than one team. I have always "supported" all four teams I have mentioned, and I always will, but I don't see how that means you have to attend every game to be a true, loyal supporter, I enjoy the football that all four of the teams play and I will follow them through their highs and lows. I am really grateful for my season ticket at the Amex and I wouldn't swap it for anything else.

I don't see why it is so frowned upon to support more than one team, the only awkward moment is when the two teams play eachother.

To be honest I have a problem every time I go in the Brighton shop and they can never sort it out...very dis-organised!

Well pretty much everyone who constantly reminded me 'Brighton are shit' during Primary and Secondary school now go to almost every home game.

They leave their United/Arsenal shirts at home now though and they don the stripes.

Seconded!
