Brighton and Hove Albion have confirmed that 2,500 tickets will be made available to season-ticket holders and 1901 Club members for a pre-season friendly against Chelsea at the Amex on Saturday (29).

The match is set to be the first to be played in front of spectators since March.

The club said the government approved the event on Wednesday afternoon, and the game is the stadium’s first to include fans since lockdown commenced in March.

As this is not a league fixture, tickets will be sold to season-ticket holders and 1901 Club members in priority windows, based on loyalty points.

The match is all-ticket and in the unlikely event the game does not sell out, there will be no ticket sales on the day.

Tickets will not be made available to Chelsea supporters as the club are not permitted to admit visiting supporters.

To conform with the government’s track-and-trace rules, booking a ticket for this match requires that personal and contact details are all up to date, and a current working mobile phone number.

On their website, the club have listed a number of arrangements including guidelines on cleaning, ID and payments.
