Would've thought with the early bird season tickets including a discount in the club shop and the home kit being available in store tomorrow that they'd have sent them in time for that, but that's maybe just nit-picking
Haven't got ours yet so I rang the ticket office. A nice lady asked what was I panicking about as we all know that it's not the start of the session that matters but when the transfer window shuts.
Can I be the first to say I bought mine within minutes of them going on sale, and mine hasn't arrived yet. I think a new signing must be delivering mine on transfer deadline day.
Just had an email from the club saying that my Season Ticket is on the way.
Dont know if its the same for everyone but this is the wording in the email
"Your 2021/22 Season Ticket is on its way! - All Season Tickets have been sent out and will be on the way to you now. You should be receiving them in the post today, tomorrow or Monday morning."
35 years ago I was a lapsed Brighton supporter (you needed an id card to go the Goldstone and I refused to get one) living in Norwood for a few years. I was wandering around on a sunny day with my new girlfriend and we decided to go to a park for the afternoon.
But I saw a crowd walking along the road and said to her "I know - lets go and see Palace!". So we turned up and paid at the gate.
Turned out it was actually Charlton playing and we've both been season ticket holders ever since. Walk-ups can turn into something much more than £20.00!
There is surely something to be said for giving out the message "Just turn up whenever you like " to people who have never been to a football match or seen Charlton play. You probably only need a couple of people like me per season to make it worth while!
But accounting methods are not really up to understanding that one ticket purchase might actually lead to the £30,000 - £40,000 revenue (in todays money) we have spent on season tickets etc.
Oh - and of course my son AND one of his childhood friends will probably buy a season ticket online this year when they are sure they will be allowed to go although neither of them have ever lived anywhere near the Valley! But that is nothing to do with walk-ups is it?
Even as a “lapsed” Brighton fan, how on earth did you even contemplate going to watch palarse on a whim?
I've done a few strange inexplicable things in my life that I just can't explain - but that was definitely the strangest!
TBF, I remember we used to pop over there sometimes to join the away fans and give them some support…

This season is no different.
Stop panicking
First ST in 3 years and the first time I'll be bringing the boy. Finally feel excited again.
