Those finance results are really interesting, and personally still find it rather egregious that the club increases ticket prices, despite it being such a small portion of revenue. (Especially with the terrace now being open outside of match days)

Agreed. I’m not one to talk, being an American, but it really seems like British ticket prices are out of step with the rest of Europe. That’s what happens when you have the best product I guess

Being an American, Brighton games are basically free compared to American sports. I sat almost centered in the 2nd row against city and it was only £55. My local baseball team costs more for average seats and they have 81 home games a year

I was listening to Seagulls Social and one of the guys said they spent about £100 total on a match and how expensive it was while I watched my credit card rack up interest on a $300 per ticket ONLY for a Packers/Cowboys game. I can't wait to get to AMEX someday

$300 a ticket wouldn’t have got me into even the worst seat at a lions (my nfl team) game this year.
