Right sider Posted 18 January, 2011 Share Posted 18 January, 2011 Have to say I was well impressed by the clubs handling of the ticket sales this morning. I arrived at 6am because of work and was ushered into the concourse in the away end, presented with a raffle ticket to indicate a place in the queue. Obviously tea and coffee on sale but we were out of the cold. Must be that NC learnt something after walking the queue giving out tea foc after the pompey game. Was very well organised and quite quick. I left with 3 block 41 tickets at 7.20! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagon 84 Posted 19 January, 2011 Share Posted 19 January, 2011 I dunno what all the fuss is about, just walk straight up the window & got 3 tickets together in the itchen north block 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 19 January, 2011 Share Posted 19 January, 2011 Any update on ticket sales for this one? I'm surprised block 2 still has availability. If 12,500 were sold to season ticket holders and 4500 away fans allocation, couple of thousand corporate and 7000 sold yesterday would expect us to be up to 30k by the end of the week. when do they go on sale to database not linked to another game?

There was no queue whatsoever when i went down there at lunchtime, 4 windows open with only two people being served. I said to the guy serving me i thought i'd be queuing for ages, he said it had been very quiet, which was a surprise. Apprantly there are 9,000 left.

Matthew Le God Posted 19 January, 2011 Share Posted 19 January, 2011 Apprantly there are 9,000 left. That was at the end of sales last night. After 7,000 were sold yesterday. I'm sure that figure has gone down significantly today as the ticket office has been open again since 7am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericb Posted 19 January, 2011 Share Posted 19 January, 2011 If there are tickets left it goes to show how many of our fanbase are plastics, only looking to go to "big" games.

JRM Posted 20 January, 2011 Share Posted 20 January, 2011 update on ticket sales, says over 25,000 sold but I think that might include the away section of 4500, if not then we are up to 29k It's not really clear. I can't work out when tickets will go on sale to database without being linked to another game as well. Anyway, I'm sure we will sell out eventually - hopefully make a similar atmosphere to Leeds last night v Arsenal. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2271847,00.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aintforever Posted 20 January, 2011 Share Posted 20 January, 2011 I don't think it will sell out unless it goes on general sale.

I wish we had similar support to Leeds. From the pictures on the T.V last night it looked like over half of the 34,000(ish) Leeds supporters were stood up and roaring on their team, we would never see anything like this at St. Mary's.

For Pompey last season they let you buy a ticket for other game (s) if you couldn't make the linked home game, i cant see why this would be any different.

You just have to be on the database and all that requires is having been to a previous game. Membership/customer number whatever, my point was that it's daft that some cutomers are prevented from spending their money. They have been to a game previously but with tickets brought by me so they don't register on the database. There obviously has to be some structure so that loyal fans get first dibs but I don't think first time customers should be put off. As it stands there might be empty seats at SMS while my mates spend their cash down the boozer watching it on Sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are big differences between a membership scheme and being on the ticket database. It has been common practice for the club to do restricted sales and linked games for some games for years. It is hardly out of the blue. They have had plenty of time to get themselves on the database. Edited 20 January, 2011 by Matthew Le God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have had plenty of time to get themselves on the database. They are not arsed about being on some database, they are not that bothered about wether they watch the game live or in the pub. That's my point, if someone who has never been before quite fancies going, they can't. And you never know, if a plastic goes and sees us turn over the best team in the country they might get hooked - it's a good chance to expand the fan base.

I had a phone call from a chap I used to work with 8 years ago, not spoken to him for months asked if could get him a couple of tickets, I know he is a plastic Manc. I told him sorry mate but it would be wrong if if I did and took two seat away from Saints fans. He was a little rude with his reply so I told feck off and try his luck and have a go at getting one in the away end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
