DT Posted 24 December, 2009 Share Posted 24 December, 2009 Those family tickets are also good for enormously fat people. Who don't have kids. Or just sit on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustMike Posted 24 December, 2009 Share Posted 24 December, 2009 I'm sorry but this policy stinks and I do not like it at all - not one bit!!! In fact I'm angry - very with this. I'm going, as I often do, with my son who is 18 and not earning. Total cost £44.00 !!!! Someone who may or may not have a youngster gets in for a total cost of £10.00 !!!! This system just does not work at all. I'd go with an adult full price and a nipper a nominal fiver but this system leaves me speachless - it just does not add up. I should have bought two lots of adult/child tickets and taken my lad for £20.00 !!! In fact I'm so against this rediculous system it will not encourage me to go again unless the club issue a statement saying it's a huge **** up and that I can have £22.00 back! It's rotten to the core and discriminates against honest fans ! This and the Echo fiasco are leading me to think that this 'Set Up' need to wind it in a bit and quickly - their judgment lately is showing signs of arrogance which even starts to push the limits of the previous administration..... wow scrooge, calm down. If it gets new kids into saints then its a good thing. As for th "Echo Fiasco" you know nothing about it, saints wouldnt have done it without good reason, else the echo would be whinging about it, which they're not.

OldNick Posted 24 December, 2009 Share Posted 24 December, 2009 I'm all for 'promotions' but they they have to be just a tiny bit logical. I have not said I'm against any promotions at all - on the contrary I would advocate them and promoting kids in particular. The thing is though, why discount adults to tho the tune of some 60% at the same time. If the offer was linked to those unemployed or on Social I would say that's fare enough but this 'offer' shows no sign of any thought process being employed what so ever and hides behind the 'lets get kids in' slogan as an excuse for a poorly thought out scheme. Are you trolling? I like many thousands of others have paid full price.That is my choice, i also want the club to thrive and so am more than happy to see the club taking initiatives to get more into the ground. To be honest, to sit in the Chapel with thousands of kids is worth a massive discount IMO anyway. Every hloiday i go on or flight without question there will be people paying less than me for the same.Should I stay at home in protest? The more people in the stadium the better the feeling, the more that NC will be able to spend to improve our enjoyment in the future, give the club a chance it is recovering from major heart surgery and needs all the care it can get.

suewhistle Posted 24 December, 2009 Share Posted 24 December, 2009 I'm just looking forward to my visit from Italy and a ground pretty well full on all sides. A kid coming to a full ground is much more likely to want to come again than seeing swathes of empty terraces. There's going to be a buzz around the ground, and even the regulars in our usual 19k crowds this season are going to feel like kids again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 25 December, 2009 Share Posted 25 December, 2009 (edited) Evening all, my Dad and brother have decided they want to go to the game tomorrow if they can get tickets. I'm hoping to book the tickets online, using my account, today so that they can collect them tomorrow before the game. I know how to do all that but I'm slightly confused as to what tickets I need to get. My brother is 16, so obviously falls into the '16 and under' category as listed in the ticket pricing. However, on the booking website this is not an option. Or can I get the £10 offer? There is a 'junior with adult' option, does anyone know if this is the right one, i.e the same as 'Adult and 16 and under pair'? If so, I can select 2 tickets on the first page, then put one as 'adult' and one as 'junior with adult' on the next page. I think this is the right one but if anyone could confirm that'd be great. Merry Christmas by the way! Edited 25 December, 2009 by for_heaven's_Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitySaint Posted 25 December, 2009 Share Posted 25 December, 2009 I got my tickets Christmas Eve and the girl on the phone, gave me tickets in (I think she said) block 45 of the Northam, I have given up my usual season ticket to sit with family (lent it to a mate). This is normally an away block, so does that mean they are opening extra sections of the ground due to demand? Or just having less seats segregating home and away fans? How many away seats do we offer? So how does this become possible if they have sold 1100 (or whatever it is?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many away seats do we offer? So how does this become possible if they have sold 1100 (or whatever it is?) I'm sure you will find that your seats are in Block 43, this block is usually used if the away following is large, but due to demand this section has been opened for Saints fans. Exeter will be in Blocks 44+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozz Posted 26 December, 2009 Share Posted 26 December, 2009 Saints Twitter page updated half an hour ago to say less than 200 home tickets left. Guessing we won't hit 30K though because of the corporate seating and away seating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 26 December, 2009 Share Posted 26 December, 2009 Pretty impressed by that, yet Im confused, a sell out is all 32,000 is;nt it? Probably a sell out of non corporate seats.

up and away Posted 26 December, 2009 Share Posted 26 December, 2009 Pretty impressed by that, yet Im confused, a sell out is all 32,000 is;nt it? It's 32500, but that is with the home support being completely filled and the boxes. I don't know which is the bigger bad omen for a Saints performance, biggest crowd or televised live. Should get past this one though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
