Tickets Too Expensive And Chelsea Reserve Team

[T soprano]

You absolute bastard Tony. If you've got shit loads of cash you should have been there today. Everyone else with shit loads of cash went today and I'm sure they'd love to tell you all about it if you've got a few minutes!

No one likes a gloater

If Barcelona had come to the Amex, not only would people not have complained, but it'd have been far more expensive too. Whatever you think of Chelsea, they are the European Champions. £30 was reasonable and moreso for what was an incredible game.

Have to say that was money well spent!

What price for a ticket when we are in the premiership.......£50 +?

Minus the 4k Chelsea fans from the 17k = 13k. Given that it only sold out the day before, I think its fair to say that a huge percentage of that 13k were not season ticket holders (and certainly when I was in the club shop buying my Kuipers/Swindon tickets the people in there I don't think had ever been to a football game before, let alone being regular fans).

Therefore, the club got the pricing right in terms of maximising profits, but I think its evident that a lot of Albion fans didn't agree.

Still, decent payday for the club and perhaps a few new fans won over who maybe originally went more to see Chelsea. I'm not bothered that I missed it.

Not a great comparison in my opinion. When a club like Barca are in this country it's a big event, and seeing Brighton take on Barcelona would be an absolutely once in a lifetime event - as it would be for Real Marid, Bayern, the Milan clubs, Ajax. It's not just who is the best in Europe, its the name and the prestige.

Chelsea are an English club. I bet most posters on here have seen them play - many against the Albion no doubt. They may be European champs now but they are just Chelsea from up the road. Next year we might be in the same division!

I thought yesterday would be rubbish and a waste of money but probably one of the best friendlys I've been to. It had everything, meeting gully girls before, new seat, great game, banter with Chelsea before and after.

Id do it again.
