Attendances at the Amex

Anonymous User made this Freedom of Information request to Brighton and Hove City Council This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.

The request was successful.

Brighton & Hove Albion publish tickets sold for matches, not the actual attendance.

You have been asked about this before, you said in a previous response to this question:

"There is a requirement for the club to record the actual attendance at each match that the council can review to ensure that the numbers do not exceed the grounds certificated capacity. The council do not retain details of the actual numbers that attend football matches at the AMEX Community Stadium."

In that case, please could you provide the most recent games actual attendance figure that you have reviewed, as this must still be on file, the last game before this request was v Bolton Wanderers on 4 November 2014.

Thank you..

Brighton and Hove City Council

The council are not required to keep records on a match by match basis of attendance. We review safety management arrangements on a quarterly basis and at that time attendance figures are noted. The ground is an all seater stadium and as such has a limit to its capacity. The recent match that we reviewed which coincidentally was on the 4th November had an attendance of 16,133.
