    Who's up for the Cup then? Seems we are!

    Just got my tickets for Brighton and was surprised to see of the 4,300 allocation there were les than 150 left (unless I'm missing something) and they don't go on general sale until Monday.


    Now please, please, please you Baggie Boys put a performance in. I have to live amongst all these imitation Albion fans.

    We've got ours too and yes, I'm afraid you're missing something. Only Blocks S1B, C and D have been made available for sale online thus far. Although supporters can order tickets in other blocks (E, F, G, H and I) in person or over the phone, there's no way of checking sales online until the tickets in said blocks have been physically released for sale online.

    Sales seem a little sluggish at the mo'. Personally I'd attribute that to the 'better' seats in the blocks available online already having been sold, and would suggest many are waiting for the release of further tickets in other blocks before buying. This could prove a fruitless task though given that as stated telephone sales are in full swing.

    Thanks for the info.

    Bit annoying that my reward for buying early is I end up in the corner at a lower level than I would have liked and late comers get a better choice.

    You're welcome and agreed. This often does my head in with away tickets but I'm led to believe (unfortunately) it's the home club who decides the order of block sales. Had to settle for tickets to Stoke which were a bit further over than I'd like.

    I'll be honest and admit I'd forgotten the sale dates for home season ticket holders going to Brighton. I needed two together as the wife's coming along for this one and I'd been after seats at the back as we stand, but they'd sold out except for in the corner.

    Rang the ticket office on spec' and got lucky with seats in a different block further over which isn't currently on sale online. Would've done the same for Stoke if I'd thought about it and may bear it in mind for future fixtures if I have time to hang about in the phone queue.

    Tried to get two seats this morning and was told that only one seat per member could be purchased at moment. Have to wait until Friday now when on sale to public.
