Prices start from £10 for adults, £7.50 for over-65s and £5 for under-16s in the north and south stands, with tickets in the west and east stands priced at £15 for adults, £7.50 for over-65s and £5 for under-16s - but in order for the club to keep prices as affordable as possible, these do not include the travel levy.

Albion chief executive Paul Barber said: “The FA Cup third round weekend is traditionally one of the highlights in the football calendar and we want as many fans from both clubs, particularly our younger fans, to come and see the match.

“We understand that budgets are tight this time of year, particularly for families, so in order to encourage as many fans into the stadium to create the same type of atmosphere and support the team enjoy for a league match, we have kept prices as low as we possibly can.

“It is the last weekend of the school Christmas holiday period, so we hope these prices will prove attractive to season-ticket holders and regular matchday ticket buyers, but also to young supporters and for potential first-time visitors to the Amex.

“Fans should be aware that, in order to offer tickets at these lower prices, we are not able to include, within the ticket price, travel to and from the stadium.”

Full matchday bus and train services will operate on the day but bus and train tickets must be purchased prior to travel.
