lcfcadam Posted 29 July 2011 Posted 29 July 2011 http://www.seagulls....e/SeasonTickets Besides, they've sold about all of their total of 16'000 season tickets - which is "only" 2'000 more than our 14'000. Perhaps they're a little more football crazy with the new stadium, promotion and all? Ah fair enough, normally I would've gone and had a look at their OS for season ticket prices but feeling very lazy this morning...
Itsthejoeker Posted 29 July 2011 Posted 29 July 2011 Season-ticket packages are very competitively priced, with adult prices ranging from the cheapest at £395 to £595 for some of the very best seats in the stadium. Concession tickets are available from £49 for under-10s, £99 for under-16s and £267.50 for seniors.The club also wish to make it as easy as possible for supporters, and in a revolutionary move all fans have the option of a rolling 12-month direct debit, at NO EXTRA COST - meaning that even the best adult tickets can be purchased for less than £50 per month. Fairly expensive...

Perhaps they're a little more football crazy with the new stadium, promotion and all? Novelty value, simple as. Even Cov sold a shedload of season tickets in their first season at the Ricoh..
Brown Fox Posted 29 July 2011 Posted 29 July 2011 Has anyone yet raised of why a town with a significantly smaller population than Leicester has managed to sell 4,000 more season tickets than us? Perhaps they did some cheap ST offers or something? They may have sold more season tickets but regardless we'll get a higher capacity ever game more or less. The novelty factor is very much there. Anybody know how many we sold in our first season at the KP?

Anybody know how many we sold in our first season at the KP? Our average crowd was 29,230 that season but not sure about ST sales.

NeilyBoy Posted 30 July 2011 Posted 30 July 2011 I'm living in Brighton and there's definitely a feeling of euphoria and optimism down here. I followed the seagulls all the way through last season and they stormed League 1 much like we did - I've already predicted them to make the playoffs because their brand of football is very effective and attractive to boot. Poyet's performed miracles there and anybody who underestimates them will more than likely come away with a face you could make an omelette out of. (You've been warned Sven! Not that you need it...) As for the stadium - it's nice and airy inside even if it does look a bit bare. The way it nestles into the hills makes for a gorgeous view from afar - I should know, I get treated to the sight across the valley from my house every morning and I'm still not tired of looking at it. It's on the relatively small side at the moment at 22,374 seats but Poyet and the board are already talking of expanding next summer. Oh and the Harvey's brewery is a 10 minute drive down the road in Lewes so I recommend getting down a bit early and giving it a visit on away days - top notch!

Poyet's performed miracles there and anybody who underestimates them will more than likely come away with a face you could make an omelette out of. (You've been warned Sven! Not that you need it...) The difference was that Pearson then went and signed a shedload of players (Wellens, Gallagher, Weale, and er.. Robbie Neilson) in order to take us to the next level. Poyet doesn't seem to have done that. CMS is their only major summer signing to date. In addition, Glenn Murray, one of Brighton's stars from last season, has moved to Crystal Palace (which won't have pleased the seagulls faithful). That doesn't suggest Brighton will take this division by storm.
THFC6061 Posted 30 July 2011 Posted 30 July 2011 Brighton gave Spurs a good game today. They actually went ahead, but Spurs scored two late goals to go in 2-1 up at half-time. Brighton came back to equalise, but Spurs had the last word with a 3-2 win in the first game played at their new AMEX Community Stadium.
purpleronnie Posted 30 July 2011 Posted 30 July 2011 Looks a bit like Cardiff's stadium. More like porto's.

Although they capped attendance at 10,000 for that one.
Bryn Posted 31 July 2011 Posted 31 July 2011 There was an article about Poyet in the Sunday Times today... he really is one to watch. I don't think Sven will be here in 5 years time (and I mean that positively - I think there's a good chance he'll take us up, stabilise us up there and then step aside for a younger man) and I'd love Poyet to be one of our future managers.
