... and West from Worthing, for those like us who come from that direction. We always park at Shoreham station and train from there.

Found that out yesterday. Was going to train it but not with the delays and bus replacement. Have talked the wife into a nice weekend in Brighton
. Airbnb booked, just need to secure match tickets on Monday.

They need to levy that fee in order to waste the huge amount they do.

Keen to go, but can’t find a train route that is less than a 9 hour round trip thanks to various line closures 
It’s 140 miles FFS.
Even driving looks like a 7 hour round trip.

Travelling from as far afield as Devon, Somerset, Surbiton and er.....Brighton.....
Incredibly my first visit to Brighton's "new" ground.(Did the others). So will be looking for parking advice nearer the time....

Plenty of parking in Lewes in certain car parks ie Lewes FC or the Brewery Car Park.
Last year i parked in Haywards Heath.
Train to Lewes and then train to Falmer.
For those who want a free park in Brighton itself then chance your arm with the streets north of Moulscoomb Station.
Afaik it is not a CPZ.
I parked there for the Sussex Senior Cup Final in 2025 and never knew it existed.
Be there early though.

I posted further up but, coming from the West, we always park at Shoreham-on-Sea rail station and continue by train, changing at Brighton. The train journey is included in the match ticket.

I used one of the other park and rides a few years ago for an evening game, (they all appear to wait in the same location at the ground from what I could see), it was quicker queuing for the train

We used one of the P+R a long time ago and it was, as you say, a lot of queuing; for the bus, for getting off the bus, then getting out of the car park and getting to a main road.
My recommendation is to study the rail map for free travel and use it from whichever direction you come in.

So I can get a return from Staines to Haywards Heath and then whatever route to Falmer for free, either via Brighton or Lewes?

Just needs to be within 3.5 hours of the match, before and after
Brighton (A) Sunday 8th Nov, 2pm ko
We did the Mill Road one a couple of seasons ago. It worked really well, although the queue for return buses after the game was quite long and it probably took about 45-60 minutes to get back to our car. Back then it also only opened 90 minutes before kickoff and was already quite full when we arrived with 60 minutes to go. Now it opens three hours before kickoff and I don't fancy hanging around the stadium for that long...

Can i get out of the station at any stop on route from Haywards Heath and get back on train, i.e. Lewes or Brighton?
Brighton (A) Sunday 8th Nov, 2pm ko
Yes. Buy a ticket to HH. Get the train to Brighton. Have some beers. Get on the train to Fulmer.

Not sure whether this should go on the 'Tickets' or 'Travel' thread...
Does anyone have experience of how aggressive the bag policy is at the Amex? Due to the change in kick off, I'll be in Brighton for the Saturday night, but would prefer to bring my bag to the stadium so I can go home directly from the stadium. I see the official guidance is "no bags bigger than A4", but I have seen this applied to a varying degree of accuracy at some venues.
Any help or advice greatly appreciated.

I've seen them being complete PITA's on the gates at Brighton so I wouldn't be surprised if they did give you some aggro. If you're coming by train, could you use one of the left luggage places near Brighton Station (which is what we're planning to do)?

A couple of years ago I was refused entry with a small backpack and directed to that storage. Queued for 20 minutes - just before reaching the front they announced they were full and told me I could bring it in with me. So apparently their bag policy is somewhat moveable.I've just seen this that says they have bag store at ground but no idea what it's like
