Buy Brighton and Hove Albion vs Everton tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the fixture set for Saturday 12 December 2026 and kick-off listed for 16:00 at the Amex Community Stadium. Brighton have not beaten Everton at home since October 2019, a run of six league meetings without a win, so this is a fixture the home crowd wants corrected.
Thousands trust 1BoxOffice
Brighton and Hove Albion play in a 31,876-seat ground that sells out for almost every Premier League fixture, with members and season ticket holders taking the bulk of the seats. Everton arrive in their second season at a new stadium on the Liverpool waterfront, with a travelling support that fills its allocation wherever it goes.
This guide covers what you can expect to pay, which stand suits which buyer, how hospitality works at the Amex, how delivery and entry are handled and every Premier League meeting between the sides at this ground. It is built to help you pick the right seat and buy with confidence.
Everton take an allocation of around 3,000 for a league fixture at the Amex, housed in the South Stand and extending into the south-eastern corner when the following is large. Everton fill that kind of allocation routinely, so the away end is not a realistic route for anyone without club loyalty points.
Home demand is the tighter constraint. The Amex has grown from around 22,500 at opening to 31,876, yet Brighton's rise through the divisions and their settled Premier League status mean members and season ticket holders absorb most of that before general sale opens.
Brighton's calendar shapes what reaches the market. Away trips such as Liverpool vs Brighton and Hove Albion pull spending away from home fixtures for the travelling regulars, which is one reason seats appear on the resale market in the weeks before a match.
Everton supporters have their own budgeting to do. A first full season of home fixtures at the new ground, including dates such as Everton vs Chelsea, competes with a long December away trip to the south coast that costs a full day in travel each way.
Brighton in December is a manageable weekend too. The city is an hour from London by train, the ground is a short ride from the centre and a Saturday afternoon kick-off suits a day trip, which widens the pool of buyers well beyond the two fan bases.
One more factor is the fixture's place in the season. A mid-December Saturday sits in the stretch when clubs play twice a week and supporters start choosing between games, which loosens the market slightly compared with the autumn. That is the window where most listings for this fixture appear.
The short answer is yes, but rarely through the club. Understanding how Brighton sell their seats explains why the resale market matters so much at this ground.
Season ticket holders take the largest share of the Amex for every league fixture. What remains goes to members through priority windows, and only a small number of seats reach any kind of general sale, usually for the fixtures with the least demand.
Membership is also a poor fit for a single trip. It runs on a season-long cycle, offers no guarantee for any given match and gives priority based on how long you have held it, which puts a first-time buyer at the back of the queue.
Away tickets are harder still. Everton distribute their allocation through a loyalty points system that rewards regular attendance, so a casual buyer will not reach the front of that queue for a fixture of this profile.
A verified marketplace offers another route. 1BoxOffice lists seats from verified sellers across the home stands, so you can pick your area, see the price upfront and buy without a membership or a points balance. Listings show the stand and tier where available, which helps you avoid sitting among the wrong set of supporters.
Groups should plan ahead. Blocks of four or more seats together are the first listings to disappear at a ground of this size, while pairs and single seats stay available for longer.
There is a practical reason to buy through a verified marketplace at this ground in particular. Tickets are issued digitally and transferred rather than printed, so the listing notes explain how each seat reaches you, and an order backed by a guarantee protects you if a transfer runs late in the week of the match.
Five factors drive the price for this match: seat location, demand for the fixture, how close you buy to kick-off, the competition context in the 2026/27 season and the level of hospitality you choose. Brighton price by category, and a visit from Everton sits below the fixtures against the traditional top six without falling into the lowest band, because the travelling support is large and the game usually matters in the table.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| North Stand upper | £65 – £120 | Budget-conscious fans | Behind the goal at the vocal end, high enough for a full view |
| East Stand | £75 – £140 | Families and calmer viewing | The family side, with its own facilities and a balanced view |
| North Stand lower | £85 – £150 | Atmosphere seekers | Where the singing comes from; expect standing for long spells |
| West Stand, upper and middle tiers | £110 – £220+ | First-time visitors | Main stand with the strongest elevated view across the pitch |
| Hospitality and VIP | £220 – £600+ | Corporate guests and celebrations | Padded central seating with lounge and dining products |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
The Amex rewards paying a little more for height rather than proximity. Sightlines are strong from every stand and there are no pillars, so the upper tiers give a complete view of the game without the premium attached to the central lower rows.
Single seats and pairs are the most common listings here. Solo travellers can often pick their stand rather than take what is left, which is unusual at a Premier League ground.
Prices also track the opponent rather than the date. Visits from the clubs with the largest followings sit at the top of Brighton's scale, while a mid-table fixture settles below that, so compare a few of the season's listings before deciding whether a price for this one looks fair.
The Amex is a four-stand bowl set in the Sussex Downs at Falmer, with seating close to the pitch and clear sightlines throughout. The Amex Stadium seating plan shows how the stands and tiers break down before you choose a block.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| West Stand, upper tier | First visits and a clear view of the play | Highest | Main stand, three tiers, with the premium products and the tunnel below |
| West Stand, middle tier | Comfort and a central angle | Upper | Close to the hospitality areas and the boxes |
| East Stand | Families and a calmer afternoon | Mid | The family side of the ground, with its own facilities |
| North Stand, lower tier | Atmosphere seekers | Mid | The vocal home end, where the singing starts |
| North Stand, upper tier | Budget buyers | Lower | Elevated behind the goal, with a full view at a lower price |
| South Stand, away section | Everton supporters only | Mid | Around 3,000 padded seats in the lower tier and the south-eastern corner. Everton colours belong here only |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans should look at the East Stand or the West Stand, where the crowd is mixed and nobody minds a quiet spectator. If you support Everton but hold seats in a home area, leave the blue at the hotel. For every upcoming match at the ground, the Amex Community Stadium listings show where seats remain available.
Legroom and comfort are better here than at most English grounds, because the Amex was built in 2011 rather than adapted from an older stadium. There are no restricted-view seats to worry about, which simplifies the choice considerably.
Weather is the one thing to plan for. The ground sits in a gap in the Downs and catches wind from the coast, so a December afternoon can feel colder than the forecast suggests, particularly in the upper tiers.
Families should look at the East Stand, which has dedicated family sections and facilities. Age accompaniment rules for children are set per fixture, so confirm the requirement when you buy rather than assuming a fixed policy.
If you want the noise without standing for the full 90 minutes, the corners between the North Stand and the sides give a clear view of the singing end while keeping you in a seated, mixed area. That is the usual compromise for visitors at the Amex.
Hospitality at the Amex runs through the West Stand, where the club operates lounges, boxes and named premium products alongside the main stand seating. Packages combine a padded central seat with dining before the match and at half time.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Premium seat with lounge | Couples who want comfort | Central padded seat and a warm indoor space before kick-off |
| Dining package | Fans marking a special occasion | A full meal before the match with drinks at half time |
| Pitchside club product | Visitors who want proximity | Low central seating with lounge access attached |
| Executive box | Corporate hosts and larger groups | Private space with dedicated service and a direct view |
Most hospitality at the Amex is sold on a season basis, so single-match availability depends on holders releasing their places. For a well-attended December fixture those releases tend to be taken quickly.
Hospitality also solves the travel problem at this ground. Getting to Falmer and back takes time, and a package that includes food and a warm room before kick-off makes a long day considerably easier.
Smart casual dress is the safe choice, and some products ask for a jacket. Arrive early, since hospitality entrances open well before the turnstiles.
Groups looking at hospitality can sometimes pair a few premium places with nearby general-admission seats, which spreads the cost while keeping everyone together. Ask early, because West Stand inventory is limited and moves quickly once released.
Brighton use digital ticketing, so most seats arrive as a barcode in a phone wallet or the club app rather than as a paper ticket. Your listing will state the delivery method before you buy.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket (app or wallet transfer) | Set up the app in advance, accept the transfer promptly and keep your phone charged |
| E-ticket (PDF) | Download it before you travel and turn screen brightness up at the turnstile |
| Paper ticket | Confirm the delivery address and allow time for courier delivery |
| Collection | Note the meeting point and time and keep your order reference to hand |
Resale tickets are often released in the final days before the match, once the seller's tickets become available for transfer. Your order status will show when they are ready.
Read the listing notes carefully, bring valid photo ID and charge your phone fully, since a flat battery at the turnstile is the most common problem with digital entry. Bag rules are enforced at the Amex, so travel light and check the current size limit before you set off.
Getting there is one of the easiest parts. A matchday ticket includes free travel on trains and buses within the local zone, Falmer station sits beside the ground and the journey from Brighton station takes under 15 minutes. The number 25 bus is the alternative, and park-and-ride sites operate for drivers because there is no public parking at the stadium.
Leaving the ground needs patience. Falmer station handles a full house at once, so stewards queue supporters onto trains in batches and it can take half an hour to board. The walk to the university campus or a drink at the fan zone is the usual way to wait it out.
Buying through 1BoxOffice, a verified marketplace running since 2006 with a 150% money-back guarantee, takes only a few minutes.

Gate times are worth planning around. Turnstiles open an hour and a half before kick-off, and because the train from Brighton runs every few minutes on a matchday, arriving early costs nothing and saves the crush in the final 20 minutes before the start.
Brighton is straightforward to reach from London, with trains from Victoria and London Bridge taking around an hour, and Gatwick is half an hour up the line. International visitors usually fly into Gatwick or Heathrow and continue by rail without needing a car.
If you are travelling as a group, filter for seats listed together and read the notes to confirm the arrangement. Premier League kick-off times move for television, and Saturday fixtures can shift to Sunday or Monday, so book flexible travel where possible.
The ground is four miles from the seafront, so the two halves of a Brighton trip need planning. Most visitors stay near the station or the Lanes, travel out for the match and come back into town afterwards rather than looking for anything near Falmer itself.
The city rewards an overnight stay. The seafront, the Lanes and the Royal Pavilion are all within walking distance of the station, and December brings a quieter, lower-priced version of a town that is packed in summer.
Everton supporters face a long trip. The drive south takes around five hours and the train journey runs through London, so many travelling fans make a weekend of it rather than returning the same night.
Anyone planning the return meeting can look ahead to the second half of the season at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, where Everton now play on the Liverpool waterfront.
Brighton supporters looking further afield have their own long trips to plan, with fixtures such as Sunderland vs Brighton and Hove Albion among the tougher away days on the calendar.
Brighton's Premier League era began in 2017, and the first home meeting with Everton that October finished 1-1. A 1-0 win in December 2018 and a 3-2 victory in October 2019 followed, and at that point the fixture looked like a comfortable one for the home side.
It has not been since. A goalless draw in April 2021, played behind closed doors, began a run in which Brighton have not won a home league match against Everton, with the visitors taking three wins and the sides drawing three times across the following seasons.
The heaviest of those came in May 2023, when Everton won 5-1 at the Amex during a season that ended with them surviving on the final day. It remains the widest margin between the clubs at this ground by some distance.
The pattern held into the most recent meetings, with a 1-0 Everton win in January 2025 and a 1-1 draw in January 2026. Brighton have scored only eight goals across the nine home meetings, which is why the home support arrives in December with the record firmly in mind.
The clubs' shared history runs deeper than the Premier League era, with meetings in the older divisions and cup competitions stretching back decades. Those games sit outside the figures on this page, which cover Premier League matches at the Amex only.
For buyers, the record points to a tight afternoon with one glaring exception. Four of the nine meetings ended level, three went to Everton by a single goal or more and only two went to Brighton, which makes this a fixture the home crowd treats as unfinished business.
What makes this meeting distinctive is the contrast in trajectories. Brighton built a modern ground and a settled top-flight identity in less than two decades, while Everton carry more than a century of history into a stadium of their own that is barely a year old.
The ground itself is part of the draw for a visiting supporter. Built into a gap in the South Downs with the station at the gate, the Amex is one of the easier away days in the division to organise, which is why Everton's allocation fills without difficulty.

One last point for anyone choosing between fixtures: the Amex is among the more comfortable grounds in the division, with modern facilities, clear views and travel included, and this fixture is priced below the marquee visits. For a first Premier League match it is an easy recommendation on value rather than occasion.
Winter kick-off times are the last variable. A 16:00 start in December means the second half is played under floodlights with temperatures dropping, so dress for the end of the match rather than the beginning, particularly if your seats are high in the North Stand.
No, marketplace seats need no membership, priority window or loyalty points.
In the South Stand, extending into the south-eastern corner, with an allocation of around 3,000 seats.
Yes, a matchday ticket covers trains and buses within the local travel zone, including the short hop to Falmer.
No, the ground has no pillars and sightlines are clear from every stand, so height and price decide the choice.
No, there is no public parking, so use the park-and-ride sites or the free train travel that comes with your ticket.
