According to the official site we've now sold 76,438 for this first leg and it's looking likely that the game will be shifted to Camp Nou. Club have sorted a deal with Easy Jet to Barcelona - £1 per return flight ticket and a kid travels free with every adult. The flights depart Luton 5am on 12th January going direct to Macedonia from where a combination of bus and donkey will transport fans across Europe to the match. With baggage, airport and fuel surcharges the price per head works out at £2,254. May sound like a lot but it is Wembley and it is the JPT.

"And we're going up to win the JPT for Sussex by the Sea, Altogether now.."

A night at Withdean watching us against a division three team in a meaningless competition? It'll be triffic if we get to Wembley, but I'll save me tenner for then.

As opposed to watching two second-rate sides at the bottom half of League One scrap it out in a meaningless fixture because in all likelihood neither side will be promoted nor relegated and all that for £24?

Went to the club shop today and got 6 tickets. Bloke at the desk reckons 6,500 - 7,000

With Falmer on the horizon I hope we sell out this game, get through and everyone comes out of the woodwork for Wembley as this club needs some publicity to get people back interested in the Albion.

Reckon we would do about 25k at Wembley

Luton will not be rolled over easily though

To be honest, I doubt it's much fun going to a match on your own. You may as well stay in.

I go on my own and always enjoy it!

I really can't understand why I'll willingly travel ANYWHERE in the country for a league match but can't be arsed to walk five minutes down the road for this. I know it's a shit competition that I always boycott, but surely for a FINAL I should be vaguely interested. Sadly, I'm not.

Lets be honest the JPT is a joke competition but a chance to watch the Albion at Wembley with a day out drenched in beer is not to be missed!!

Would be a great day out for fans and the players and give the club a much needed lift

I do hope we win it, but only because it will buy Micky more time with some of the morons who want him out. Also, I suppose, winning ANY competition for a club like ours is, at the end of the day, a trophy - something we're not exactly used to.

I don't agree Wembley is going to be a good day out though. The word that springs to mind is ANTICLIMAX. Everyone will be building it up, blindly stating that watching the albion at the world's best stadium will be an unrivalled moment in our history. Well, it won't, because many people (myself included) have been to Wembley numerous times now, and seen much better games than Brighton v Scunthorpe. It'll be SHIT, but if it gives the club a few hundred grand I won't complain (too much).

I would agree with that in much the same way that the playoff final at Cardiff was one of the most boring games of football I have seen but a good day out all the same!!

It will raise a lot of interest locally though and the money in the coffers will be greatly received!

I know a few Albion fans who had no interest in going to the Cardiff Play Off final because it was simply to get us back into a division we'd played in the year before - the underwhelming second tier of English Football, hardly a fantastic prize, especially as it wasn't played at Wembley. These same people, however, immediately snapped up tickets for the Luton JPT match and will be at the final if we get there. I guess it comes down to just one thing - the venue - Wembley Stadium. Doubt we'd shift many tickets if the JPT final was in Cardiff.
