American Express Stadium away guide

Brighton & Hove Albion away end

The away allocation sits in the North-East Quadrant, Lower Tier, in the corner where the North and East stands meet. The block runs across the lower corner sections. Brighton offer around 3,000 away seats for league fixtures, the Premier League standard. Away turnstiles are signposted from the Village Way side of the ground after the walk up from Falmer station.

American Express Stadium bag policy

Bags over A4 size and motorcycle helmets must go to the bag drop outside the South East entrance. Brighton currently list the bag drop cost as £7.50.

Checked 26 May 2026 against Brighton entering the Amex guide.

Getting to American Express Stadium: nearest station

Falmer station is about a 6-minute walk to the away turnstiles, with direct trains from Brighton and Lewes. Trains are free with a matchday ticket. Post-match, Falmer runs a one-way exit system that holds away fans back, so factor in 20 to 30 minutes before you're on a train. Drink in central Brighton beforehand, there's almost nothing at Falmer itself.
