FA Cup Semi Final draw - Brighton

[staffsblue]

I know NR are working on them (and additional trains for Wolves on the Sunday) as I'm having regular dialogue with them. I'm expecting something back from them in the next couple of days.

All timings received back today so the advertised additional services at 21.20 and 21.24 will appear in public rail planning systems tomorrow.

How's it selling anyone know?

We have 1000 approx available on top tier
We have 5000 approx available on bottom and middle tier
There are around 8000 that haven’t been released (assumed)

We have therefore sold around 19-20,000.

So about 1500 sold since the estimate yesterday that 18000 had been sold with 15000 remaining. 10 days to go. 15000/10 = 1500 per day. On track to sell out by next Friday night. Piece of piss!

I've got mine but I might buy another just to help out a bit more. Lol.

Thanks for the welcome, feeback and kind wishes, and especially the heads up about the Jerk Chicken.

We have about 4000 left from our initial allocation and no sign of them being offered to non members at this time, so it's possibly we might flog a few more if they become available. Will your tickets go to an absolute general sale, ie without the need to have attended a game?

It is important you spread the word about the chicken on a Brighton forum. Took me 6 months to eat meat again after stoke in 2011 and when I phoned the landlord to complain I don’t think he took me seriously.

The words - “it was 5 years old you northern dickhead suggested he didn’t take my complaint seriously” I had tro drink a fucking pink liquid for 3 months to repair my stomach!

SO I REPEAT - do not eat the jerk chicken.

Crikey, I've heard this story more times than I've heard Dave Whelan mention his broken leg! Not to mention your story about getting food poisoning in Turkey ha ha

No they won’t. Need purchase history.

There are still a few £30 ones available but not many.

Top tier is pretty full now behind the goal with less than 300 left between blocks 517-506. Only 2 of those blocks have more than 40. Gets a bit more sparse on the side top tier 505-502 with over 600 left although the latter is sold out.

Lower tier not so good. Lots of seats available.

Basically it’s the £65/£80 tickets that haven’t sold well not surprisingly.

Cheers I'm in 506 was pretty full even 3 days ago

506 has 3 tickets left same as 507. Those two blocks are the most popular on the top tier.

505 on the other hand has over 200 left but that’s he block where the prices are higher!

505 was my original choice but for the difference in price went next door

I was hoping against hope we might have been allocated Boxpark again despite being on the east side. Unfortunately we haven’t. :(

 

[Blue Mist]

Thank f*ck for this thread otherwise I would never have known about dodgy jerk chicken but what's this about Dave Whelans leg ?

Think there may be the potential to move across and sit in a more expensive seat!

504 and 503 similar!

Not sure its reasonable to expect a constant demand of 1500 more each day. We might get some buying on Friday as it will be payday for a big % of people, but other than that yesterday should have been the big day for remaining sales as its gone to general sale (with previous purchase history), and today they could buy an extra 2 each. If we've still got 15k to shift, I'd be surprised if we manage to sell another 5k of them at this stage. I'll happily be proven wrong.

I really couldn't care less if I was there on my own surrounded by empty seats (sometimes I'd prefer it!), but I know some supporters get hung up on it. If Liverpool or United fans ask about it its a simple response - "how many have you sold?". None. Zero. Zilch. Fuck all.

Is there a list of pubs that have been allocated already?

I don’t know mate. I just liked Boxpark so much in February I followed somebody else’s lead on here and have been checking their own website. It now definitely shows Brighton.

Yeah BoxPark was great, shame as there's not many decent spots at all around Wembley. Will more than likely drink elsewhere around Central London and then head in afterwards.

I wasn't being entirely serious with that but a fair few have shifted in the past 24 hours - well the cheap seats anyway - and like you say there will be days where more shift and days when not too many will get sold. I do think that being in the middle of the international break doesn't help but when City are back playing again at the weekend, a lot of fans will be back to focusing on that and some may decide they do want to go after all.

Of course, it's a big stretch to expect us to shift the remaining 14-15k tickets but you never know
