[Albion] Quarter Final Time and Date [Saturday 29th March - 5:15pm]

[Oh_aye]

Public transport in the UK is an absolute disgrace.

We've just been booking a family train holiday for Easter. Amsterdam - Berlin - Prague.

My dream was to do the whole thing on the train. Starting with Eurostar to Amsterdam and then fly back from Prague at the end. Having looked at it, I've got so little faith in the first train Brighton to London getting us to the Eurostar on time - which leaves early - we just booked a flight to Amsterdam instead. It was both roo risky and insanely expensive to stay in London for one night.

Given the fixture re-arrangements, the club is looking to open The Terrace for the Forest game.
It may not be totally finished, but it is hopeful a safety certificate can be issued in time for the QF match.

The trains aren't that unreliable. Just aim to get an earlier train and give yourself some time at St Pancras. Only problem would be if there were engineering works!

Sensible

Why? It's a free country. I am localish being from Eastbourne, but if I didn't want to or couldn't afford it that's fine. I can't tell whether you are being deliberately provocative or joking, I can't believe you are serious.

Fair enough if you can't afford it, that's understandable. But those that regularly go and are whinging about some travel inconvenience and are prepared to miss a qtr final for that reason are the ones I'm guessing he's aiming his comments at.

How much time are you allowing for boarding at ST PAncras?
If you aren't travelling on a peak day, you may have more time than you think.

In my experience you can get booked in within 30 - 45 minutes, more often than not.

Dude, they are horrendous. My job for most of my adult life has been travelling round the country (pre covid). I almost exclusively used the train. I've simply had to stop and now drive everywhere just for the sheer number of delays and problems. It isn't an assault on the train companies, I'm sure they are doing their best just the results of my recent experiences where previously standard journeys were consistently delayed. Considering so much of my (very expensive) onward journey relies on the frequently interrupted journey between brighton and London I just don't want to risk it.

Maybe I'll encounter the same issues between Amsterdam and Prague! I will feed back for balance!

Means you haven't logged in!

No, I'm definitely logged in. See, top right hand corner. Hopefully it won't say this when I can get tickets at 5pm today.

You want to look for the 'buy your season ticket' box at the top currently.

No sorry a bit of a misunderstanding, I'm not a season ticket holder, I am an Albion+ member.

I know that tickets are not available to us until later this afternoon. Usually though, the box says "Buy" but is greyed out. This time it says "Sold Out" and is greyed out. I know that it is not sold out, just wondering why it says so.

 

[brighton_tom]

On the website currently I can buy my ST seat. Any know if there is a way on the website I can also buy my dad's ST seat? Or does he need to log in and do that himself?

I had to logon as my son to get his, so I assume he has to do the same

Anyone local who is choosing to watch on BBC, rather than cheering the team on to Wembley, needs to reflect hard...

I'm local but away that weekend so doubt I'll even get to watch it

Nope me too, there's a problem. I just got through tothe TO and they let me book over the phone for no fee as they are experiencing some issues.

I think the STH window closed at 2pm so maybe they have stopped taking bookings ahead of the next window opening.

 

[Seagull Stew]

Could a STH let me know how many tickets are left in the North Stand. I just want to know if I need to be hovering over my laptop when they become available to us MyAlbion+ members at 5pm.

There is probably 4 in N1B under the control box as for various reasons, 4 of us can't go...

We went to Prague before Christmas and stayed a cheapish hotel near London City Airport night before our flight, easy to get to the night before via London Bridge, quite easy to get from there to St P. Personally, I would definitely do that than risk the flight being late if you are booked on a train from Amsterdam.
