Yes, as I said earlier, if it had been Brentford we'd have been in trouble. But Newcastle...sat back and enjoyed win in relaxed fashion...might even have a cigar later...!

Especially as they lost out on my food and drink money. As per usual I couldn't get served at half time. Owing to dopy esu staff. Pondering about looking uninterested, don't understand a word of English.
Wrong thread but relevant nonetheless. Don't really care it's the clubs loss.

That's on the right lines, though as a STH myself, even a 10-15% disount may well have been enough to get me there.

A humble plea to all those that didn't go today out of principle, please can you also boycott the 4th round tie
if we are drawn at home? The atmosphere was cracking today, by far the best of the season!
From where I sit in the WSU it seemed that there were more people today than for the Forest & Watford games!
Whilst I really feel for the people who couldn't afford to go today, being so close to christmas, for those that
could, shame on you, you really missed out!
Brighton are losing money at the moment and yet they didn't go down the cat. A B C/1 2 3 route, they kept the
prices against a Premier League team the same as you would be charged to see us play against Barnsley!
I think a lot of our fans forget what a good discount the club gives us for a season ticket.

I'll be in my seat if we're home for the next tie and didn't go today.
You do realise that's completely contradictory?
29 games today and I make it that we had the 6th (maybe 7th) highest. That's not shabby at all, considering we didn't have to resort to bargain deals to get people in.
Barber in.

Even if it's live on tv?
Comparing the price with season tickets is stupid. Obviously ST holders are getting a discounted price by buying for the whole season & that price is very, very decent. Bearing in mind that tickets include travel costs too within a large area, I don't think £28 for a game against a PL team is too much at all. It's a shame for those that genuinely can't afford it but for the rest, moaning about how they'd have spent on food and drink if they'd gone or how they'd rather go to away games, get real. If we're going to have a team worthy of a great stadium that can turn over Premier league sides, it's not going to be a tenner to get in.

What on earth did I write that is contradictory?
There has never been a discount on F.A. cup tickets against a higher league team in the 34
years that I've been going to see the Albion.
For a couple of years when we were at Withdean, season ticket holders were given a free
ticket for the 1st cup game, this was usually for the JPT.

£28 bargin for that performance.
No. I'll be in my seat regardless. Enjoyed the match on TV today and had a great time but will be in attendance for the next round.
You said we'd pay the same for this game as we would against Barnsley. Then you admitted there's a discount on season tickets. Season ticket holders would NOT pay the same for their seat today as they would against Barnsley.

-Price is, of course, always important. But there are many different economic levels, and for some people even £15 a ticket would have been too much for them. It is unrealistic to expect the club to lower the price so that everyone who wants to go can, and selfish to expect them to lower it to an amount you are happy to pay.
-Being free on TV is a factor for some
-Being a morning kick off will be a factor for some
-Form over the last month would also be a factor
-The fact it was newcastle:
I didn't go, but it wasn't the price that put me off, it was the fact it was a team we beat last season, and if I'm honest the disappointment of our december form, made me expect a loss for us when tickets were initially released, then as the game approached it was clear newcastle were a weakened team, and I think I'd have been unlikely to go even if tickets were just £10.
FFP is coming. This sort of commercialism is only going on way.

-The fact it was newcastle:
-We faced them last season, so it's not special in that 'new opponent' way,
-we beat them last year, so even a victory wouldn't be as big an event by law of diminishing returns
-It wasn't even a first string newcastle with big name draw players
-We played premier league opposition, in a match we were bookies favourites to win, and charged championship prices-we beat them last year, so even a victory wouldn't be as big an event by law of diminishing returns

Given there were 5-6000 empty seats this can be argued.

And it's all gone quiet..
Too expensive, but thankfully the club still had me down as an Under 18 so not for me
