Saint Charlie Posted 16 July, 2014 Share Posted 16 July, 2014 (edited) Anyone heard anything about this? They have been on sale to home fans since last Thursday. Is there going to be an away allocation or are we just better buying tickets from Brighton? Edited 16 July, 2014 by Saint Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like they havent realised fans might want to watch some of the games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a few hundred of us wanting to do it so I can't see them not having an away end for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps as it's just a preseason friendly you don't need "allocations" and what have yous. JUst turn up,pay and watch the game, as it should be.

Griffo Posted 16 July, 2014 Share Posted 16 July, 2014 "Albion v Southampton - 31st July 7.45pm Tickets will go on sale from Thursday 10th July, priced as follows: Adults: £14, Senior Citizens: £10, Under-16s: £6. Supporters are advised that because only the West Stand lower and middle tiers and East Stand lower areas of the stadium will be open for the game, season ticket holders will not necessarily be able to guarantee their usual seats." So the 2 side stands are open for home fans. Don't know if that means we'll be getting the usual away end or if it's not open at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nta786 Posted 16 July, 2014 Share Posted 16 July, 2014 Anyone help me in terms of travel? What is the best way to get to Brighton by train? National Rail Enquiries tells me to go to London first- and then to Brighton, even though that is the complete opposite for mee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are coming from Kent you can do it by Ashford to Lewis and change for a Falmer train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaside Saint 2 Posted 16 July, 2014 Share Posted 16 July, 2014 I emailed Brighton's ticket office on Monday, they said Saints will be selling away tickets, probably in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're coming from Tunbridge Wells area may be easier to take the number 28 or 29 bus which goes past the stadium. I think there may also be a train service via Gatwick from Tunbridge Wells or Tonbridge but probably involves a few changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies, I forgot to write when I'm coming from earlier. Bus number 28, right, but after the game finishes is there a late bus? I would prefer train tbh, easier for me, but National Rail Enquiries is weirrd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thres's no direct train route from Tunbridge Wells - you'd neeed to go a long way round via Hastings or Redhill. I havent used the bus but I'd imagine it would be quicker. Remember the station is Falmer not Brighton, its on the outskirts of the City, by Sussex University. http://www.buses.co.uk/travel/service.aspx?serviceid=1173 http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/service/timesandfares/TBW/FMR/310714/1615/dep/310714/2015/dep edit its not really faster, though you dont have to change Edited 16 July, 2014 by buctootim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lool, but I am right to presume that theres no stoppages, just one straight ride to Brighton stadium? Just found the other problem... The last train back to twells is 8pm from church hill square.

Oh deear. It is a direct bus but does stop along the way, takes about 1 1/2 hours. Last bus back is around 9pm though. There is a night bus to Uckfield : http://www.buses.co.uk/travel/service.aspx?serviceid=1224 but nothing to TW You could always try the nightbus to Uckfield and then maybe find your way from there.

Professor Posted 16 July, 2014 Share Posted 16 July, 2014 Train to Falmer is best as there is very limited parking near the stadium. From Southampton take a train to Brighton and change. If coming from the North or East a train to Lewes and change is a good option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrant Posted 16 July, 2014 Share Posted 16 July, 2014 They've expanded it since that photo was taken. The corners are filled in all the way around now, and the stand opposite the main stand has an upper tier, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both sides stands have an upper tier, but the end behind the goal is still pretty much as in that pic save for the corners being filled in.

The9 Posted 16 July, 2014 Share Posted 16 July, 2014 Away fans had low expectations at Brighton after Withdean, they didn't want to blow anyone's minds, so they just relocated the Withdean stand 100 yards nearer the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sussexsaint Posted 17 July, 2014 Share Posted 17 July, 2014 Just spoke to Brighton Ticket office and unable to buy through them ( for those of us in Sussex) - will be available through Saints only , however more than likley will be able to buy as a walk up on the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buctootim Posted 17 July, 2014 Share Posted 17 July, 2014 more than likley will be able to buy as a walk up on the day Does that only depend on not selling out first, or on some other factors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 17 July, 2014 Share Posted 17 July, 2014 Hmm, bit of a sod when you consider buying a ticket to a Brighton match usually gets you free rail travel to and from the match from anywhere east of Littlehampton and with "pay on the day" you'll also have to pay for the train out to Falmer.
