There are currently about 650 seats available in the two South blocks closest the the away fans (presumably only just opened for sale), plus 45 (FORTY FIVE) around the rest of the ground.Blimey! According to the official site there are just 18 tickets left. For a game that will be played in two months time, not knowing who our opponents will be or the kick off time, I think it’s fair to say our enthusiasm for being in Europe is somewhere in the stratosphere.
Fantastic support from the fans -I think that other tickets may be made available nearer the time, as the UEFA hangers-on finally say they are not interested. Bet they will be if we ever made Dublin and then regular fans will be forced out.
Almost validates the decision to just get the tickets sold and out of the way.Blimey! According to the official site there are just 18 tickets left.

The one thing you can guarantee with success is many of those who backed the club through thin and thin will be trampled by richer Johnny come latelys in the stampede for tickets. Is the same at every club and every final, why would it be any different for us?!
You presume right. A couple of hours ago most were ‘blacked out’ as either sold out or unavailable. So the club are ensuring each section is sold out before opening up a new block. Either way this has the making of being a full house weeks before the fixture.
I presume you mean the ones taking selfies at the game and watching it through their phones rather than actually watching and supporting Brighton.
Why should that be? The fans that have backed the club through thick and thin are the ones that will have the most loyalty points and therefore will be the ones with first dibs for any match tickets. I’m not sure where or who the “Johnny come latelys” are going to do their trampling on, except at the end of the queue.
The caveat was exactly my point. You’re assuming a fair allocation. It never happens. Instead goes to debentures corporates and other one time Charlie’s. Same for International tournament matches.
Just had a look again - now down to 364 seats in those South stand blocks, and 17 others dotted elsewhere, which ALL appear to be wheelchair/assistant seats.
They wouldnt swap home advantage , that would damage the integrity of the competition, they will move the day of one of the first leg
If both sides get through then of the games will be played on the Wednesday evening. UEFA won't change home advantage in the second leg for group winners.
Really? I think every STH that wants to go can. Now on sale to My Albion+ members and STH guests. If by those that you refer to as supporting the club through thick and thin are ones that no longer go but would like to go to this game I'm not sure why they should have precedent over those that have kept going or who have being going regularly for the last few years!
Much appreciated post, been wondering myself.
fyi, the post you replied to was in itself a reply to one about what would happen if we were to make the final in Dublin.
