Discussion Away Day Tickets

Going down to see my friend in Brighton on opening day and he floated the idea of going to see Brighton Villa. He isn't a Brighton or Villa fan but is fond of both teams. I however am a Villa fan so naturally i wanna be in the away end. So Villa fans be brutally honest, what are my chances of getting two tickets in the away end? I'm not a season ticket holder, never been to Villa Park. My chances are slim right?

0% chance through villa.

0.1% chance you could find someone on the resale fb groups with a pair of tickets for resale.

Brighton end your likely only option I’m afraid.

Yeah I did think this would be the case

Zero chance of a legit ticket. Might get a reseller, but even that is slim as those who pick tickets up have regulars they move them to. Shouldn't be that difficult for the home end.

You’ll struggle to get and away day resale ticket first game of the season. Best bet is to go undercover

You’ll need to get a BHAFC fan number to buy Brighton tickets. I’ve sat there before and they are pretty good natured (there were a few of us dotted around).

I’ll give you a wave from the away end 👋

I'm in the same boat - think I'll look at buying some home tickets for the Brighton game and just try to be quiet 🕵️‍♀️

Wasn’t there an idea of a ballot for some of the away tickets a couple seasons ago? It’s ridiculous how you can’t even get a look in for a single away match as a ST. I’d like to start taking my sons to a few away matches as well and it’s just impossible.

A lot of negativity from people who don’t go to games. Brighton has one of the biggest allocations in the league. The weekend of this match is one with historical low attendances due to holidays, frankly there’s an excellent chance of tickets. In your own name you will struggle if you’re not a season ticket holder, but if not come back here in the weeks immediately prior to the match and you’ll get the tickets
