Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion has hailed a record number of season ticket renewals for the 2024-25 season. 

In a statement, the club confirmed that more than 95% of season ticket-holders had renewed ahead of the deadline.

MyAlbion+ members will be given priority access to the limited number of remaining tickets that are due to become available for next season. The priority windows will be confirmed by Brighton in the coming weeks.

“It’s brilliant to see a continued trend of record-breaking renewals,” said deputy chairman and chief executive Paul Barber. “Year on year we’re seeing more fans committing earlier to season tickets which underlines supporters’ pleasure at the continued progress of our team.

“I know how much Roberto [De Zerbi] and the players appreciate the great support we get from our fans at the Amex, as well as on the road, and I would like to thank everyone for that fantastic commitment and encouragement which we can all look forward to again next season.”

In February last year, Brighton uncovered a touting ring ahead of an FA Cup match against Liverpool at Amex Stadium (pictured). Brighton’s supporter services team uncovered the scam and blocked more than 150 tickets in home areas.

The majority of tickets had been sold to Liverpool supporters, and the club suspended more than 100 online accounts. Some Liverpool fans had paid up to £250 for tickets from the touts and were unable to access the stadium for the game.
