Classic ticket office, it says Thursday on the article and Friday 6pm on the attachment which would make more sense in case 20+ can't get tickets on their points and need to enter the ballot.

Qwerty Posted 24 July 2017 Share Posted 24 July 2017 Out of curiosity - any 25+ members managed to get Brighton tickets today? I'm curious to know how many the 30+ people took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy harry Posted 24 July 2017 Share Posted 24 July 2017 Would my child be able to buy a ticket and not me? He's 16 and is able to go on his own but has an under 18 ticket with 27 points and I'm only on 17? If he's not is it possible to upgrade him to an adult and keep his points at 27?

Yes I did, there were loads of seats left all around the ground at 9am on Monday morning. More than I expected to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyn88 Posted 25 July 2017 Share Posted 25 July 2017 Based on the number of places in the ballot remaining on the website, looks like just over 700 have applied so far. Assuming there isn't a large spike in applications over the next few days then hopefully the ballot will get you a ticket more often than not this season.

My sons points date is tomorrow so will hopefully get one tomorrow. But if not will be entering the ballot. Not sure how many others will do it this way round.

I'm hoping that this is an indication that the membership scheme hasn't been as popular as LCFC had hoped. That, or no one's bothered about going anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day it will be the hardcore city members that want to go to games regardless that will be willing to part with £60 for a membership that guarantees nothing. Members who were willing to buy a £20 city membership last year to get to 1 or 2 games will probably not be willing to part with 3 times as much for even less.

Correct, we have 7 STH and last year we also had 3 x city fox memberships (purchased to buy Wembley tickets). We are not renewing memberships this year as we will just use season tickets when son/husband can't make match which we have been doing for years.

andy peake Posted 25 July 2017 Share Posted 25 July 2017 Does anyone know whether, if your successful in a ballot, you have to go ahead and purchase the tickets or if you can decline them at that stage? I only ask because when I entered the ballot I had to tick a box to say I would pay for the tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southfox66 Posted 25 July 2017 Share Posted 25 July 2017 Has anyone successful bought Brighton tickets online, I was going to phone up for tickets in family stand tomorrow, but not sure if its good idea if still loading of people calling box office?

Going to ground isn't an option for me I got mine Monday no issues ! You will be fine , be quick and go for quick seats. Selecting your seats will possibly end up with you not getting tickets. It's the best way... I think lots and lots of people will be able to buy come tomorrow. That's the ballot is low at this time. After tomorrow I can see the numbers going up in large amounts.

4ever and ever Posted 26 July 2017 Share Posted 26 July 2017 Just bought one for my lad online. Easy. According to the seat map I did a quick tally of available seats and its about 2200 tickets left!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have entered 1 of our memberships for Brighton in the hope it gets it from 19 points to 20 so i can then hopefully get 2 together moving forward as we are a point out. For all those counting the ballot entries don't forget those on 20 points can't try for tickets until 9am Friday and the ballot doesn't shut until 6pm, so many will be holding off until they know if they can buy without the ballot, I guess those entered so far are all on less than 20 points otherwise why enter yet.
