[Albion] Quarter Final Time and Date [Saturday 29th March - 5:15pm]

[drew]

Whatever the price people will always whinge. If they had said £25, some would moan it should be £20 and had the club announced it was £20 those same people would moan that it should be £15. It's just he way of the world.

I don't think anyone is whinging. We're just discussing the maximum price point that would still ensure a sell-out for this game.

 

[Hotchilidog]

I think the fact we have so many season ticket holders makes one-off match sales a bit more difficult too.

Around 24,000 of us aren't used to having to shell out to go to a game of football very often - the season ticket direct debit just goes out with the gas, water and council tax.

Very much this. The tickets we do pay for are normally £30 for an away day so paying that for a cup quarter final seemed reasonable.

Indeed. Some people on here were suggesting that an FA Cup 5th Round tie between two top ten Premier League clubs should have been priced cheaper than it was to get in to Worthing in the National League South for the Chelsea game.

How did Worthing get on against Chelsea?

How did Worthing get on against Chelsea?

Having watched Worthing a few times recently, I suspect they battered them.

I realise my sentence was worded appallingly.

 

[Rogero]

Is this a sell out ?

 

[brighton_tom]

Is this a sell out ?

85 expensive lounge access seats and 6 wheelchair spaces left. Thats it.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Is this a sell out ?

Yes.

Unless you want to pay for a lounge access seat - and there's not many of those left now either.

Got a feeling this will go to penalties, really hope Verbruggen to have a good shootout if so. Don't think he's saved one for us... yet

And compared to the gas, water and council tax ... it's a bargain!

And on that positive note, I will pop my ticket on exchange then....

Not for us, no.

But he has only featured in one shoot-out in his professional career - and he saved ALL of the penalties...

On 23 February 2023, he saved all three penalties during a shootout against Ludogorets Razgrad in the 2022–23 UEFA Europa Conference League knockout round play-offs second leg, which helped his team to win the tie 3–0 on penalties following a 2–2 draw on aggregate.

 

[BNthree]

Especially if there's more than one of you going....

Was just about to say similar: those of us that buy tickets for the family to go that £10 a ticket makes a lot of difference. Myself and 2 family members I've bought for are going for under £100. If it was £120 I'd probably not have done it.

Hopefully not as Forest have a very good record at shootouts (12 wins out of 13). We’ve won 7 out of 12 so around what you’d expect.

 

[brighton_tom]

14 regular price seats made available. Guessing these are club guest returns.

You follow goalkeeping, so would be interested to hear your thoughts on this -- all of which are based on my impressions, rather than cool, hard stats, etc:
Not only is Bart yet to save a penalty for us, he tends to go the wrong way -- although this has shifted in the last few (I kept that deliberately vague) when he has gone the right way but hasn't managed to keep it out.
Other thoughts on Bart + penalties = appreciated.

Wood (twice) and Gibbs-White both already beaten Bart from the spot too.

He’s gone the wrong way for 6 out of 8 penalties this season.

From memory, it doesn’t look like he dives too early leaving one side of the net open either, it just looks like he’s guessed the wrong way.

My assumption would be he’s not good at reading the body language of the taker.

From what I just added up (after watching all of these goals back!) he has gone the right way on 4 of 12 occasions. It would be incorrect to claim he'd 'guessed right' four times though, as the Salah one he waits for the kick and then dives for it. On every other occasion he commits early.

I heard Bart on the official podcast a few weeks ago - an interesting episode. He (or the stats guys behind the scenes) obviously put a lot of work into predicting which way the kicker will go. Unfortunately it's not easy! Penalty takers at Premier League level tend to be VERY good.
