hamster Posted 11 February, 2010 Share Posted 11 February, 2010 What are people's views on them; in general and re the match this weekend? I ask because I received a text yesterday offering me tickets at £40 a piece!! That is double face value and the person had already sold 20 apparently. Now then, this may be market led, but it doesn't really sit too comfortably with me for some reason. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedAndWhite91 Posted 11 February, 2010 Share Posted 11 February, 2010 R.G? Felt like sending him some abuse after i read that From A.G. His brother I think. Seems they got a bit of a ticket touting thing going on. Not right if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamster Posted 11 February, 2010 Share Posted 11 February, 2010 Would hate this to happen for Wembley, but sadly it will. I suppose if people are willing to pay that sort of money then there will always be people willing to take it off of them. I bet those pesky Pompey lot have been ripping each other off to the max aswell. It's been quite some time since I've seen touts at a Saints game though and perhaps the police will be more concerned with the added risk of them falling into the 'wrong hands'.

Crouch Ender Posted 11 February, 2010 Share Posted 11 February, 2010 I just got the last seat left in the Itchen or so I was told.

JRM Posted 11 February, 2010 Share Posted 11 February, 2010 it is still a poor reflection on our support that this has been so slow to sell out. watching big derbies on the tele the commentators normally begin with "this game could have sold out several times over" "tickets are like gold dust for this fierce local derby" guess they can use footage of the overnight queue to make it look like that. but still got to wonder why 48 hours before kick off tickets are still on sale. Hope the atmosphere lives up to expectations and goes right around the ground saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brought forgeries for the Portsmouth End for 1984 Cup Game in The Painted Wagon.

This Charming Man Posted 11 February, 2010 Share Posted 11 February, 2010 Terrible, terrible support from us. It's shocking that this has taken so long to sell out. People moaning about the linked sale, if you don't wish to attend another home game this season, what kind of a fan are you? Ticket prices, worth every penny for a game like this. However terrible the Skates support has been this season, they would sell this game out 10x times over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derry Posted 11 February, 2010 Share Posted 11 February, 2010 If you need to pay over the top to get to the game so be it but after the match email dluker@saintsfc.co.uk with the seat number/s and tell him they were touted.

Saint_Ash Posted 11 February, 2010 Share Posted 11 February, 2010 Does it matter when it's a sell out? If it's a sell out on the day then that's all that matters. No point crying and whinging about it. I got my tickets yesterday as no point buying linked tickets as I knew they'd be some left over. I'm sure Poopy wouldn't sell out as quick as us if they all had to be on the database aswell. If it was general sale from the start then it'd been sold out after 2 days.

CFSFC Posted 11 February, 2010 Share Posted 11 February, 2010 Skates have never had the opprtunity to prove waether they could sell out or not!!! And look at the birmingham v villa game never sells out at st andrews, true reflection on this country is that people are to scared of the unknown. We wil sell out and i for one hope its lads and only lads so that we show the country we're no walk over. And for half of our fans realise we are not a family only club.

Leicestersaint Posted 11 February, 2010 Share Posted 11 February, 2010 I think there are some widly unrealistic assessments on here. This match is live on television -it is also not that cheap to buy tickets at a time when many are tightening their belts. I remember us only getting around 25,000 when we played Spurs (2003?) in the Cup and won 4 - 0. We are a third division side - how many other third tier sides would fill a stadium with 32,000 people? We have done very well to sell out just a few days after getting a huge gate for the MK match. It is great and will be a superb atmosphere.

I take my nephews and brought them a season ticket, so no not saying that, and I love the fact we have lots of young fans ready to be our fans for the future. Just for me derby day is derby day.... And its a chance to let Of steam against the blue few and i for one would not like a 7 year old girl sat next to me during the game. So i think you may have over reacted at my post. Thanks.
