The first decent block has just gone on sale so it might start to pick up a bit. Distance apart, Brighton is a decent away day imo.

Brighton away is the BEST away day in my opinion. Seaside town, loads of great pubs in Brighton (and Lewes), excellent away end behind the goal, fast service at the refreshment bars (which are open after the match), station 5 minutes away, friendly home fans, and padded seats to sit down before the match (and at half time). What's not to like?

However after the match it is pain to get a train back, the queue for such a small station is never ending. Unless your in a hurry I'd recommend leaving extra early or staying back that little longer letting the big crowds go.
Southcoastfox08 Posted 15 October 2019 Posted 15 October 2019 After 2 adults for this, if anyone can help 👍
FoxFromCoalville Posted 15 October 2019 Posted 15 October 2019 After one reference for this to purchase with my two, can provide lots of references from previous ticket sales and swaps on FT, message if you can help 👍

Half that block has gone very quickly.

I've been once and the queue wasn't too bad, but that was when the stadium had a smaller capacity. Any know of the likelihood of me being able to make the 17.48 train from Brighton Station if I get the train from Falmer?

Assuming no delays, there is supposed to be a train leaving Falmer 17.30 arriving Brighton 17.40 Bearing in mind the queues for a 30,000 crowd ... i would say 17.30 is too tight to call. If it was a rubbish game and 10,000 home fans have left early ... then you would probably have a decent chance of getting that train. Otherwise, it's a definite maybe.

I would recommend leaving ten minutes before the end if going for that, normally there's a train around every 15 minutes back to Brighton. However they only let so many on the platform at a time, I don't think the station was designed to handle for footy crowds. Last time we went which was April of last year, we left in injury time... once we joined the queue it was case of a twenty minute wait to even get on to the platform.
Guest worth_the_wait Posted 16 October 2019 Posted 16 October 2019 Sorry, I've just put my brain in gear and can remember more details ... . Last season (Nov 2018), we left at full time, walked briskly to the station, and were able to catch the 17.10 train back to Brighton. it ended 1-1 and there were 30,000 there. I checked the BBC website and the game had 45+4 mins in the first half, and 90+5 in the second half ... so it was a typical finish time. I think it's better than it used to be, as so many home fans leave early (as they do at most grounds these days) to "beat the queues". Which means it's now better, for those staying till the end. As per my above comments, you can never rely on trains .. but on balance, I'd say you would have a decent chance of catching the 17.30 out from Falmer, and hence a 17.48 from Brighton.
Ricey Posted 17 October 2019 Posted 17 October 2019 Thanks all. I guess I'd have to try and be in the queue for the 17.10 train, then I have two fall backs if not. Plus, if I leave early we are almost certain to score a last minute winner. So there's that.
norfolkfox222 Posted 17 October 2019 Posted 17 October 2019 2 tickets going if anyone wants them, face value. SOLD
