Buy Brighton & Hove Albion vs Hull City tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the match listed for Saturday 6 February 2027 at 16:00. The Premier League fixture takes place at the American Express Stadium in Falmer, the bowl on the edge of the South Downs that Brighton have called home since 2011. It is also a piece of history: the two clubs have never met in the top flight before this season.

Hull arrive as a promoted side, back in the Premier League after a stoppage-time winner against Middlesbrough in the May 2026 Championship play-off final. Brighton are into their tenth consecutive top-flight season, which gives this game an unusual shape: one club settled in the division and the other returning to it after nine years away.
This guide covers resale prices, the stands at the Amex, how membership and entry work and what a first Premier League meeting means for demand. Everything below is built to help you choose the right seat and complete your order with confidence.
Scarcity at the Amex is structural. The ground holds just under 32,000, season cards are held by renewing supporters with new applicants placed on a waiting list and the club's paid membership tiers take the next pass at whatever is left. Nobody walks up on the day.
Hull City bring a following that has waited nine years for a top-flight season. Every Premier League away day is a new ground or a return to an old one and the trip to the south coast is one of the longest on their calendar at roughly 250 miles. Supporters who make that journey tend to make a weekend of it.
The novelty helps demand. A first Premier League meeting gives both sets of supporters something they have never seen before and Hull's return means their visit carries more interest than a routine mid-table date. For Brighton regulars it is a chance to see a club that has not been in the division since 2017.
Early February also matters for the table. Promoted clubs are usually fighting to stay up by the winter, while Brighton's own ambitions depend on how the first half of the season has gone. Either way, the result carries weight at both ends of the league.
The fixture still sits below the marquee dates at the Amex. That hierarchy is useful for buyers, because it means the same stadium and the same standard of football at a lower entry point than the visits of the traditional giants. The calculation changes only if you leave it late.
Brighton itself adds to the appeal. A February weekend on the south coast is quieter than the summer season, hotel rooms are easier to find and the Lanes, the seafront and the pier are a short train ride from Falmer. For visitors travelling from further afield, the match fits neatly into a city break rather than a straight in and out trip.
Broadcast selection is the variable to watch. Premier League kick-off times move with a few weeks' notice, so the listed Saturday slot can shift within the same weekend. Buyers booking rail or hotels early should keep plans flexible.
Through club routes, membership decides almost everything. Brighton run MyAlbion at roughly £36 a year for adults and £26 for under-18s and the scheme exists to give holders priority ahead of general release. On a ground this size, that priority is the difference between a choice of seats and whatever survives.
Season cards are a closed shop for newcomers. The club renews existing holders and directs everybody else to a waiting list, so the only way into a fixed seat is to wait your turn.
Single-match pricing works on a zone and category system. Zones step up towards the centre of the ground, while the club grades fixtures by opponent, so a promoted visitor sits below a Liverpool or Manchester United date on the same seat.
The away section operates separately. Hull supporters are housed in the South and South East lower tiers, an allocation of around 3,000 for league fixtures sold through their own club to its members by priority. It is one of the better away ends in the division, with padded seats and clear sightlines.
Zone pricing also catches visitors out. Two seats in the same stand can sit two price bands apart and the general-sale remainder is weighted towards corners and upper rows. Buying late does not only cost availability; it narrows the part of the ground you choose from.
A verified marketplace sidesteps the whole sequence. You can pick seats released across the ground rather than inside one membership window, see the full price before paying and receive tickets by the method stated on the listing.
Hull supporters face their own queue. Away allocations at Premier League grounds typically go first to members with the strongest record of away travel and after nine years out of the division demand for every top-flight away day is high. Fans who miss out on the away end often look for seats in neutral areas, which is where the colours rules below apply.
Five things move the number on an Amex listing: where the seat sits, the club's category rating for the opponent, how close to kick-off you buy, the state of the 2026/27 table by February and whether you step into hospitality. A promoted visitor pulls the face-value floor down and with it the resale band.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / less central | £60 – £100 | Buyers who want the occasion at the lowest entry point | Upper West rows and corner positions with a full view of the pitch |
| Longside standard | £85 – £145 | First visits, neutrals and families | East Stand and outer West positions with solid sightlines |
| Lower tier / central | £120 – £200+ | Buyers who want the clearest view in a standard seat | Central lower blocks level with halfway; these clear first |
| Premium seating | £180 – £320+ | Comfort buyers and couples | West Lower premium bank with wider seats and indoor access |
| Hospitality / VIP | £280 – £580+ | Groups, clients and special occasions | Restaurant and private box products with catering included |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Resale still sits above the counter price, because seats changing hands were allocated once already inside a membership window and the ground is small. The gap is narrower than for a category A fixture, which makes this one of the more sensible dates to buy a better seat rather than the lowest-priced one available.
The contrast with the top of the calendar is sharp. Brighton vs Crystal Palace in October is the M23 derby and the fastest seller at the Amex, pricing well above every bracket in the table. A February visit from Hull sits in a far more accessible band.
Timing moves prices too. Values tend to hold through the autumn, then firm up once the kick-off time is confirmed and Hull supporters without away tickets start looking for seats elsewhere. Central lower blocks rise fastest in the final fortnight.
Group size is the last variable. Pairs and singles carry a premium at a small ground, while threes and fours sometimes clear at stronger value per seat. Compare the total rather than the headline figure, since delivery method and zone both change the final amount.
The American Express Stadium opened on 30 July 2011 as a bowl with single-tier stands behind each goal and taller stands along the sides. The North Stand is where the vocal home support gathers, the South and South East lower tiers are given to visiting fans, the East Stand carries the family sections and the West Stand holds the premium seating. The Amex seating plan is worth studying before you settle on a block, because the zone your seat falls into changes the price more than the stand does.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| North Stand | Supporters who want the singing end | Lower | Single tier behind the goal where the vocal home support concentrates |
| East Stand, family sections | Families and groups with children | Lower to mid | Calmer atmosphere on the longside opposite the main stand |
| East Stand, upper | Value buyers who want a wide angle | Mid | Elevated enough to read the shape of the match |
| West Stand, outer | Neutral buyers on a standard budget | Mid | The main side away from the centre circle, a step below central zones |
| West Stand, lower central | Comfort buyers and corporate guests | Premium | The ground's premium bank, level with the halfway line |
| South and South East lower | Hull City supporters | Away pricing | Around 3,000 places sold through Hull; black and amber belongs here only |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans should avoid the North Stand and the blocks next to the away section. The East Stand upper or an outer West seat gives you the full atmosphere of a Premier League afternoon without sitting among either set of committed support.
Colours rules are simple. Wear Brighton blue and white or neutral clothing in home areas and keep Hull's black and amber for the away section. Hull fans who end up with home seats should dress neutrally, since stewards will move supporters whose colours cause friction.
The bowl design keeps sightlines honest from height. The upper East Stand is one of the better-value positions in the ground, while the lower West gives you the proximity and comfort that justify its price. The Amex Community Stadium listing shows which areas have stock across the season.
February weather is less of a factor than at older grounds. The stands are covered, although front rows can catch wind-driven rain off the Downs, so a few rows back is the safer choice on a wet afternoon.
Supporters with accessibility needs should raise them with the seller before paying. Wheelchair positions and companion seats are allocated in specific areas of the ground, so confirming the exact position in advance avoids a problem at the turnstile.
Row choice matters as much as stand. The lower rows put you close to the players in a compact bowl, while the middle rows of the East and West stands give the clearest sense of the game. Most first-time visitors are happiest a third of the way up a side stand, away from the corners.
Brighton run one of the broader hospitality menus outside the traditional giants, from informal booth seating to private suites. On a fixture where the good standard blocks vanish during membership windows, these packages frequently remain available when ordinary seats do not.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Restaurant package | Clients and milestone occasions | Fine dining before the match with prime seating |
| Private box | Companies hosting a small group | An enclosed suite with its own viewing position and dedicated service |
| Lounge or booth package | Friends and pairs who want comfort without ceremony | Relaxed booth seating with food and a bar |
| Premium seating without catering | Couples who want the view rather than the meal | Wider seats in the West Lower with indoor access |
Hospitality arrival windows open well ahead of general admission, usually two hours or more, so a 16:00 kick-off means committing most of the afternoon. Package inventory is also released in blocks rather than scattered singles, which makes it the dependable route when several of you travel together.
For Hull supporters making the long trip south, a hospitality package in a home lounge is a comfortable way to see the club's first top-flight visit to the Amex. Club colours are best left at the hotel in home areas, including the lounges.
Ask exactly what a package includes before booking. Restaurant products usually cover a seated meal and drinks before the match with a premium seat, while lounge and booth options are lighter and more informal. The listing notes carry the named product, the arrival time and any dress guidance.
Brighton have moved to mobile ticketing for home fixtures, so the delivery method attached to a listing matters as much as the block number. With most visitors arriving by train, there is little room to solve a delivery problem on the day.
| Delivery Type | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Mobile transfer | Which name the seat is issued under and when the transfer arrives |
| PDF e-ticket | That the zone and block match what you booked |
| Courier despatch | Lead time against your travel dates and who can sign for it |
| Local collection | The meeting point, the time window and the identification required |
Read the listing notes before you pay rather than afterwards. Carry photo identification in case the seat is name-bound, charge your phone for mobile entry and bring a power bank, because the network around Falmer is under heavy load in the hour before kick-off.
Getting there is simple. Falmer station sits directly outside the ground, three stops and roughly eight minutes from Brighton, with extra services on matchdays. Park and Ride travel is included in the price of a match ticket, which makes driving into the city less attractive than the train.
Allow time for the return leg. A near-capacity crowd funnelling onto one small station means a managed queue after the final whistle, so build half an hour into any onward connection, particularly for Hull supporters with a long journey north.
Do not worry if mobile tickets arrive late in the week. Transfers for Premier League matches are often completed only a few days before kick-off, so a quiet order status in January is normal. Your order confirmation states the expected delivery window.

International visitors usually arrive through Gatwick, which has direct trains to Brighton, or through London with a journey of around an hour to the coast. Mobile transfer suits overseas buyers because nothing needs to reach a physical address, while courier despatch only works with real lead time. Flag any seats-together requirement at the point of purchase rather than assuming it.
Hull supporters face the longer trip. The journey from East Yorkshire usually runs through London, so a Friday night or an overnight stay in Brighton turns the day into a weekend by the sea. Because kick-off times move for broadcast selection, keep rail fares and rooms flexible until the slot is fixed. If you want to add another game to the weekend, you can browse football tickets across Europe for the same dates.
Brighton and Hull have never met in the Premier League. Their top-flight spells have simply never overlapped: Hull played four Premier League seasons between 2008 and 2017, while Brighton's current run began in 2017/18, the season after Hull went down. The clubs have met at the Amex in the Championship, but this February afternoon is the first time they share the top division.
Brighton's Premier League record has grown steadily since promotion. The club has stayed up every season since 2017, reached its first European competition in 2023/24 and now treats top-flight football as the expected standard rather than an achievement. The Amex crowd arrives for a promoted visitor expecting to win.
Hull's Premier League story is one of short, memorable spells. Their best finish came in 2013/14, when they finished 16th and reached the FA Cup final, losing 3-2 to Arsenal after extra time. This is their fifth top-flight season, secured with a 1-0 play-off final win over Middlesbrough in May 2026, their third play-off promotion.
For buyers, a first meeting has a clear effect. There is no head-to-head pattern to price in, only the novelty of a new fixture and the travelling demand of a club that has waited nine years for a day like this. The return game follows later in the season, with seats available for Hull City vs Brighton at the MKM Stadium.
First meetings also tend to live longer in the memory than routine fixtures. Whatever happens at the Amex becomes the starting point of a new Premier League record between the clubs and supporters on both sides will be able to say they were there for the first one.
