The9 Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Website down and all the phone lines too busy Headline for the Echo "Saints surprised by ticket demand again" Hardly, it says on the initial information on the OS that they recommend people wait, as they're expecting high demand but ST holders have a week to order... People just want to moan about everything nowadays.
The9 Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 on the 0800 number if im listening to music only, does that mean im in or do i need it to be ringing? Music is good, as you'll probably know by now. Unless it ends with a click and silence
Barry the Badger Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 on the 0800 number if im listening to music only, does that mean im in or do i need it to be ringing? If you've got as far the music then you are in the queue, next you will get a lady keep telling you to make sure you have your payment card ready. I had that for about 25 mins before an answer, hang in there.
The9 Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 (edited) I'm having this problem too. I'm pretty sure I've not registered before but the system tells me the cust no is already registered. Just tried it with my mate's cust no too and I know for a fact that he has never registered as he's too feckin lazy to sort tickets out. Same result. Carozzi, LA77 and Toomer, this is for you too... It's an issue with the email address on your account being blank, so it "exists" when you try to log in, preventing you creating a new account, but is not there for you to be able to recover the password. Email the ticket office ( I think agrant@saintsfc.co.uk works) and they'll sort it by resetting your password. The current default password is "football", just for the record - that might work if you have customer number and use that, if not, email them - quite a few have had this problem, inc my g/f about a month ago.

Hunty Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Block 132-135 - If you are a nobhead please don't book seats near our 30... I will be taking a coke bottle full of wee just incase any of you do. Are you taking the p*ss?
Hopkins Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Just got my tickets. Blocks 132-135 - 4 tickets at £34. I echo Stu's comments.
StuRomseySaint Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Are you taking the p*ss? I most definately am. And it will be warm.
The9 Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 I most definately am. And it will be warm. You'll have trouble reaching the opposing fans with it.

StuRomseySaint Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 You'll have trouble reaching the opposing fans with it. Not really, unfortunately I will have a few of them staying at the folks house the night before... my Dad made the ****tish decision to be born in Carlisle, and all his family made the even more ****ish decision to stay there.
Barry the Badger Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Online didn't work for me so after trying to get through on the phone constantly all morning and getting cut off I eventually got the magical hold music. I was on hold to the ticket office for 30mins on speakerphone. When they eventually answered instead of taking off speakerphone I accidentally hung up!!! I have never been so cross with myself, what a tw*t. After another hour trying, at last I just got through and didn't make the same mistake again. 132-135, can't wait.
Saints foreva Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 I think I've just managed to order 4 online, I got to my order statement but didn't get an email that I usually get when ordering online?
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 have emailed the email you gave and have had nothing back as of yet and have tried calling the ticket office but it is always busy waste of time, no reply either, all i get is incorrect user name and password when i try to register or sign in.
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 sorted ...booked 10 tickets. bit of a scam where you have to pay 10 booking fees even tho its only one booking
Tractor_Saint Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 sorted ...booked 10 tickets. bit of a scam where you have to pay 10 booking fees even tho its only one booking Wow - just got charged the one x £3 charge for 7 tickets online ?
StuRomseySaint Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Wow - just got charged the one x £3 charge for 7 tickets online ? Just £3 for 30 for me. Took me less than 5 minutes to book as well. It's not a scam... it's to discourage people from using the phones. In this day and age there is no excuse for not using the internet. Every person has had ample warnings about the sale, plenty of time to make sure their online account was set up... amd everyone who has been buying tickets today have qualified for an online account. If you want to be old fashioned and use the phone, be prepared to pay the prices.
The9 Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 have emailed the email you gave and have had nothing back as of yet and have tried calling the ticket office but it is always busy Toomer mentioned that he got an out of office, in which case try ticketoffice@saintsfc.co.uk or the old staple dluker@saintsfc.co.uk All they have to do is "reset" your password (i.e. give you a password) and ensure your email address is on the account.

SaintDonkey Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Booked 2 no problem - now just have to hope I can get a third when they go on gernal sale close to the first 2! I note that one block has already sold out. Wembley Blocks 140-144 - £24 28-Mar-2010 1:30 PM Sold Out!
NickG Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 I went up to SMS at 7.30 this morning along with many other fans only to be told to bugger off as they weren't selling tickets from the windows only on-line which of course never effing works and isn't toady and you can't phone in 'cos that doesn'r effing work either etc, you know the rest. Why the EFF don't they tell us these things i plenty of time rather than changing arrangements at the last minute so Effing everyone about. I tell you there werte some might ****ed off fans up there and nobody told the BEEB either as they wee up there with us... Sort the Effing Mess out Saints for Eff's sake!!! publicised well on web that no callers. web sales were taking people a few minutes first thing this morning, but hey balme the club for your error!

I notice over 6 hours after your post you havent come back and apologised for a rant at the club when the error is clearly yours. You never let a fact get in the way of a good old rant do you ? BTW is that seat at the Emirates still got your name on it ??

broncoboy Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Tried to e-mail April Grant comes back with Out of Office Response I was told April has hundreds of emails in her account. Use your customer number and "football" to reset your password as the man said
Charlie Wayman Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 30 tickets purchased online. That was easy peasy in the end. :cool: Smart Rrse!
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Block 132-135 - If you are a nobhead please don't book seats near our 30... I will be taking a coke bottle full of wee just incase any of you do. I suspect if you threw a bottle of pee over anyone they would shove the bottle up your fat arse.... You really are a first class **** and you know it
StuRomseySaint Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 I suspect if you threw a bottle of pee over anyone they would shove the bottle up your fat arse.... I bet they wouldn't. :-) Anyway, it could have been anyone...
saintwarwick Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Got mine no bother - £34 in blocks 132-5. Me too, about a 5 minute wait this morning and 2 tickets in the same blocks somewhere, all those having problems just need patience.
saintwarwick Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 I think I've just managed to order 4 online, I got to my order statement but didn't get an email that I usually get when ordering online? I've never had an email for cup tickets purchased this season, just print booking reference and save.
View From The Top Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 10 tickets in blocks 232 - 238 done in less than a minute. Job done.
Ziggy Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Just got my 4 ordered online. Looks like only one section for the £44 seats are left so I got that.
rshephard3 Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Is the system asking for all the relevant season ticket numbers or are the tickets just available without all that information?i know its supposed to be certain number per season ticket etc etc but if ppl buying in transactions of say 20, 30 tickets surely all these season ticket numbers are not being asked for?so if you have access to online sales and a season ticket its a free for all?!surely not...

You need to have the other season ticket numbers 'linked' on there. I have 14 other of my mates on my booking, so I selected them twice each to buy 30

whiteleySaint30 Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 I know someone who is not a season ticket holder but reckons he has managed to get a couple of tickets using his customer number online. Anyone else know of this happening??
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Two tickets booked over the interweb no trouble at all I'm happy to say . The last time I went to Wembley it was England v Holland in 1982 - we won the game if I recall correctly but the real highlight was some very tasty (Falklands related) Argie baiting from the crowd .
miserableoldgit Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 South Today stating that 10,000 tickets sold today.
whiteleySaint30 Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Anyone else know of non season ticket holders getting hold of tickets via the online service using their customer ref number.
liquidsnake Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Anyone else know of non season ticket holders getting hold of tickets via the online service using their customer ref number. I've just tried it, and it let me right through to the payment page - before saying I don't have permission to buy them yet. Bit confusing letting you through all the way, but yeah didn't work.

Jackie@home Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Just looked on the online site - can't see any for sale in the £58 bracket blocks 227-231. Have these sold out already???
Michelle Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Just looked on the online site - can't see any for sale in the £58 bracket blocks 227-231. Have these sold out already??? Yep, all £58 and most £44 have already sold out.
RonManager Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Just looked on the online site - can't see any for sale in the £58 bracket blocks 227-231. Have these sold out already??? You can have my £34 ticket for £58 if you like.
Jackie@home Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Difficult choice. Got 4 £44 ones in the middle tier (238-232). Really wanted to sit nearer the halfway line, but might have ended up far too far down next to the pitch with a crap view - my husband will moan either way, if he doesn't get the best view in the stadium. Anybody got any experience of the views from different sections of Wembley?
LGTL Posted 22 February, 2010 Posted 22 February, 2010 Two more for Block 132-135, £34 tickets. Hopefully they are higher up because the first 10 rows really aren't great.

I've been to a few England games and the American football games and it's safe to say that there are no poor views at Wembley.
JustMike Posted 23 February, 2010 Posted 23 February, 2010 Anyone else know of non season ticket holders getting hold of tickets via the online service using their customer ref number. ..or a season ticket holder buying more than 2?
Shroppie Posted 23 February, 2010 Posted 23 February, 2010 ..or a season ticket holder buying more than 2? I know of a season ticket holder who managed to get more than two without linking.
