Barry the Badger Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 In block 132-135 I was told £24 was right down at the front and £34 was further back. Actually, the colour coding on the stadium plan shows it pretty clearly. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/staticFiles/f5/49/0,,10280~150005,00.pdf
solentstars Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 total mess trying to get tickets and information at st marys,what a way to issue tickets
The9 Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 total mess trying to get tickets and information at st marys,what a way to issue tickets You can't get tickets at St Mary's until General sale, it's been well-known since the first day they provided ticket info, so I'm not sure why that would be "a mess". If people don't want to read the information provided they can hardly complain if they don't know what's going on.
Pancake Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Anyone have a feeling for what the chances are of it going to general sale?
The9 Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Anyone have a feeling for what the chances are of it going to general sale? Pretty sure Phase 3 (or is it Phase 4?) "General sale" will be replaced by a new phase entitled "ST holders touting their unnecessarily purchased second ticket to JCLs and miscellaneous scabby hangers on". To be honest I'd be surprised if the 25,000 ST holders take doesn't include a load of MK Dons semi-attenders already, so there should be a few left over. Also, we are notoriously lazy as a fan base. Maybe General should actually be replaced by "write a letter", or a caption competition, or preferably an obstacle course in the Northam Car Park. Is that wall still there ?

"General sale" will be replaced by a new phase entitled "ST holders touting their unnecessarily purchased second ticket to JCLs and miscellaneous scabby hangers on". I take it you're not a ST holder then? Every single ST holder I know and have spoken to has said they are using their second ticket for a family member or friend who goes regularly but doesn't own a ST themselves.

If people don't want to read the information provided they can hardly complain if they don't know what's going on. you had guys who came from the isle of wight and salisbury who went away fuming told they had to fill in bits of paper and come back,not bad for season ticket holders whose details are held by the club. its not about the tickets but information and sending away people who traveled miles. their were alot of angry people this morning.

Every single ST holder I know and have spoken to has said they are using their second ticket for a family member or friend who goes regularly but doesn't own a ST themselves. Yeah I am, I'm loving the naive belief that everyone knows people who want to go but don't know anyone else who can get them a ticket.
Nexstar Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 you had guys who came from the isle of wight and salisbury who went away fuming told they had to fill in bits of paper and come back,not bad for season ticket holders whose details are held by the club. its not about the tickets but information and sending away people who traveled miles. their were alot of angry people this morning. Hardly the ticket office's fault though is it? What more do you expect them to do except put it on the official club website, which you might perhaps expect fans to read?

They should probably take ten seconds to read the information rather than, you know, embarking on a completely pointless journey based on a number of incorrect assumptions then...
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Got my two no problems... In block 124-127. Tickets not being posted until 15th
NickG Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Got my two no problems... In block 124-127. Tickets not being posted until 15th see you there!
solentstars Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Hardly the ticket office's fault though is it? What more do you expect them to do except put it on the official club website, which you might perhaps expect fans to read? not everyone has the internet or the echo and so you had loads of fans who travelled down today. it would have made sense to issue forms for them to fill in at the ticket office for those who turned up.

How did these fans know when tickets went on sale then?!
solentstars Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 How did these fans know when tickets went on sale then?!local radio i expect,just feel sorry for season ticket fans who travelled from salisbury etc who,s details are held on saints computer,that they had to produce a bit of paper with details they already hold etc and come back again. good customer service was it
Saint_clark Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 local radio i expect,just feel sorry for season ticket fans who travelled from salisbury etc who,s details are held on saints computer,that they had to produce a bit of paper with details they already hold etc and come back again. good customer service was it I have minor sympathy for them but they should have checked properly.
Um Bongo Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 the OS have confirmed ST holders can also get a 3rd ticket in the second block if you went to one of the MK Dons games. Or have they? Maybe i've just read it wrong.
70's Mike Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Ordered 2 against my season ticket and then 1 each against sons season tickets, been stung for 3 x£3 booking fee even though it was block booking. Not impressed
saints_is_the_south Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 7,000 sold as of 1pm today according to os.
saintkiptanui Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 2 tickets got for me and wifey, sat next to 8 mates, yeassshhhhhh!!!
Saint_clark Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 7,000 sold as of 1pm today according to os. FFS why haven't we sold out yet? Our fans are sh*t.
solentstars Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Anyone have a feeling for what the chances are of it going to general sale? very good i expect with their treatment of some of our fellow season tickets holders this morning.
Saint_clark Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 very good i expect with their treatment of some of our fellow season tickets holders this morning. Yeah, I reckon loads of people are gonna boycott in protest
solentstars Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Yeah, I reckon loads of people are gonna boycott in protest i think anyone who wants one will get one on general sale anyway.
The Godfather Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Got mine easily in the end. Phoned the standard 0800 2800 050 number with no joy then phoned the other number and got in a queue straight away, only had to wait 5-10 minutes. Got my first choice of blocks no problems.
LVSaint Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 So, things looking up for us plastics then when it goes to general sale?
JRM Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Sales at 5pm currently stand at 9,500. so by the end of today probably about 10,000, not bad almost a 1/4 of all tickets sold on day one. There will be plenty of season ticket holders who wont be too bothered what blocks they end up in and hold back from buying until phase 2 or 3 of sales so they can get tickets with other mates. Personally I think they should have had the windows open for sales as well for those who dont use the internet
Saint_clark Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 all areas still available? Except for club wembley, yes. Although lower tier behind the goal is going quick from what the girl I spoke to said.
Thedelldays Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 I will wait till the 15th....so I can get tickets with a mate
Ken Tone Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 so by the end of today probably about 10,000, not bad almost a 1/4 of all tickets sold on day one.

Personally I think they should have had the windows open for sales as well for those who dont use the internet 10,000 sold at 6pm according to OS. Amazed the ticket office managed to function at all at that rate to be fair ..though the phone system did cut me off after 20 mins of music earlier and it took another 30 mins just now. All the top price seats gone apparently K.

All the top price seats gone apparently K. I'm not disputing that isn't true, but I am surprised that the most expensive are sold out, guess that just must be blocks 227-231 which are middle tier centre, prime seats, but we also have middle tier 232-238 available at £44 which are also club wembley middle tier. Its not clear what they are doing with the rest of the middle tier 239-245 which are right in the middle of "our" section

The £50-plus (£58?) ones are sold out according to the girl on the phone. Was virtually the first thing she said when I finally got through. And I too wonder what is happening to 239-245. Hardly a segregation issue with them is there? K.

K. well if we get close to selling out and those blocks are left unsold surely Wembley will release them, would be crazy to have whole section of seats bang in the middle of the saints section left empty
solentstars Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 so by the end of today probably about 10,000, not bad almost a 1/4 of all tickets sold on day one.

JRM Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 i agree blimey you must believe in customer service and stops any bad feeling has i saw this morning. Carlisle did it from day one, think we should have as well. Option of Internet (for those who dont want to queue), phone for those who want to queue sitting down, and personal sale at the ticket office for those who want to queue standing up
Michelle Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 10,000 sold at 6pm according to OS. Amazed the ticket office managed to function at all at that rate to be fair ..though the phone system did cut me off after 20 mins of music earlier and it took another 30 mins just now. All the top price seats gone apparently K. Two words: Online sales.
St.Bart -No.1 Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Sales at 5pm currently stand at 9,500. Hi, You seem as though you work in the ticket office from your posts today, do you know if this figure includes those of us that have handed in a postal application to the ticket office ?
whiteleySaint30 Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 anyone else heard of non season ticket holders getting hold of tickets via online system using their customer number?
red and white saint Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 tried earlier using my old season ticket number got all the way through, typed in my bank details but wouldnt actually process my application

Michelle Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 (edited) Hi, You seem as though you work in the ticket office from your posts today, do you know if this figure includes those of us that have handed in a postal application to the ticket office ? lol, don't work there (though nearly did a few years back) - just have been quite involved in various things in the past. Not sure to be honest, in previous times when there have been postal applications/pre-registration, when your order has been processed it'll show up on your online sales history. My application for 32 went in this morning, nothing on my history as yet. Keep an eye on that or your credit/debit card account for the money to be debited! Saying that, if 50% of bookings have come from telephone sales, and 29% from online sales, the other 21% can only be from postal, so seems like a chunk of them have gone through today. Edited 22 February, 2010 by Michelle Crap math.
Michelle Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 tried earlier using my old season ticket number got all the way through, typed in my bank details but wouldnt actually process my application That'll be because you're not entitled to one yet. HTH.

Saint_clark Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Did you attend the Storrie school of maths Don't you know that we fans give 110% all the time?
