Live TV coverage has not stopped Southampton supporters lapping up a trip to the Amex.
Saints fans snapped up more than 3,000 tickets in three days for their first top flight visit to the Seagulls for 35 years.
The Sunday October 29 clash (1.30pm) is live on Sky, the sixth time in their opening ten games Albion have been selected by the TV companies.
Southampton's last top flight visit was for a 1-0 victory in December 1982.
The enthusiasm of Saints supporters will guarantee another bumper turnout at the Amex, threatening last Sunday's record attendance of 30,468 which included 2,958 from Newcastle.
