How many Season tickets will be available at Falmer

[BRIGHT ON Q]

I think there will close to 15,000 season ticket holders in the first season regardless of division.

There i people i know who have not been for years, all wanting season tickets and i imagine that to be the case all over.

I know so many people who have never had a season ticket and hardly go to Withdean but are going to get a season ticket at Falmer.

I am one of these, although I do go to Withdean quite a bit.

This would only happen with the big clubs wanting to take a maximum allocation.

What is the maximum allocation under the FA rules?. I thought it was only 15% which would put it at about 3,375.

Yeah it's 15%, but because of segregation i believe we are going to offer the whole of the East Stand intially, if they turn that down then it'll be the usual away allocation, 2600 ish.

Can't be arsed with that, however rare a thing it will be. West stand lower , decent view, decent amount of singing hopefully for me

Shouldn't we be comparing ourselves to MK Dons to work out how big the gates/ST'S will be?
Or are we a bigger club?

The clubs own research (IIRC) showed other clubs following similar moves showed a 25-30% increase in STs and attendances. Given the hole that is Withdean, I'd suggest Brighton could probably out do that and increase by maybe 50% but I'm not sure how anyone could support an argument showing 12/13/15,000 STs.... It's a big commitment given that you can be sure of getting a ticket for pretty much any game.

I think some people are way off the mark. Only maybe in the prem will we nearly sell out on a regular basis. Your figures look more feasable. But maybe Albion are an exception given the years of shit the club has been through.

The challenge for the Albion will be to maintain the number of season ticket holders after the first season at Falmer. I expect to see a number of deals for people who lock in to longer than the first year.

I'm not aware of any clubs putting an artificial ceiling on the number of season ticket holders and know of several Premier clubs that are virtually 100% STH's in home areas.
