saints_is_the_south Posted 13 November, 2011 Share Posted 13 November, 2011 After Brizzle, Donny & the Skates our next away game will be Brighton on the 2nd January 2012. A while of yet I know, but with no group save on rail fares in mind for Bristol City, I'm wondering whether this is a new thing that will be implemented for other days when there is football. A group save 4 for 2 to Falmer currently works out £7.50 return each, £15 with no group save. Not quite as big a difference as it makes for Bristol but I'd rather keep the extra £7.50 for beer money if possible! Looking forward to finally having a bigger allocation for this one (2,575 according to the footballgroundguide.com site), and a 1st visit to their new ground. Sounds easier enough to get too even if it is 4 miles from the centre of Brighton itself, Falmer station is right by the stadium. Should be a cracker!

Looking forward to doing the new ground, but not the best time for it, bank holiday monday after new year not ideal for a day out on the beer, we had Dagenham last year on that day and our support was fairly subdued. wonder if they will do a ballot for this one, 2,575 will sell out easily.

svetigpung Posted 21 November, 2011 Share Posted 21 November, 2011 I am planning on seeing this game while at home for xmas. Was hoping to take the kiddies along as well. Really hope i can get tickets for the game. Had to watch with the home fans last season at the f.....g Withdean. That was fun but real agony. What are the chances for a non-season ticket holder this time round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 27 November, 2011 Share Posted 27 November, 2011 Interesting that according to this the match is already sold out (for home fans) so they are clearly well up for this one selling out well over a month in advance, fair play to them for that. http://www.seagulls.co.uk/page/ComingUp/0,,10433~2503431,00.html we also learn from this that tickets will be £24 for away fans, not too bad, our allocation of 2500 will probably sell out to season ticket holders i reckon, should imagine it will be a ballot once they have finished with the skates arrangements (although hope they don't leave it too late with the Christmas post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um Bongo Posted 7 December, 2011 Share Posted 7 December, 2011 The Brighton tickets will be messed up.

markr27 Posted 9 December, 2011 Share Posted 9 December, 2011 The scramble has begun - I finally got through and then the entire system crashed! Thankfully all sorted out quickly after a reboot! The helpful lady I was dealing with suspects it could sell out to STH judging by the amount of calls answered/waiting in the first 30 mins - and that doesn't take into account any peeps waiting down at the Stadium.
