Matthew Le God Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 I don't think I am going to be able to attend the Carlisle game either, so it's either £50 odd quid to see us play Utd (and sit on my own), or ITV. Gutted As was said earlier... Sell the Carlisle ticket at face value to a friend/relative. Sell it on to a friend/acquaintance?
Saint Garrett Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 I'm pretty sure that any Saints supporting mate that want to go to the Carlisle game, will also be going to Man Utd.
Matthew Le God Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 (edited) I'm pretty sure that any Saints supporting mate that want to go to the Carlisle game, will also be going to Man Utd. There are more than 28,000 Saints fans (4,000 Man Utd fans will be there), 50,000 Saints fans went to Wembley and many thousands more missed out on that due to the allocation being too small. A lot of Saints fans that want to go won't get tickets for the Man Utd game as St Mary's isn't big enough. I'm sure you will find someone to buy the Carlisle ticket.

GenevaSaint Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 I thought in the cup that away fans were given 4,800 seen as that's 15%? I guess they've got to allow for segregation and it's only 15% if feasible from a security perspective.
stevegrant Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 I guess they've got to allow for segregation and it's only 15% if feasible from a security perspective. If United have been given 4100, as has been suggested elsewhere, that's a reduction on what they've had in the past.
Toomer Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 Confused. Can we also buy a seat next to our ST seat tomorrow too? Mate of mine has phoned ticket office, I can confirm it is one ticket per ST holder only.
Thedelldays Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 I see saints own supa dupa fan - Nick I. is having a pop at Cortese for "profiteering" for the Untied game with the prices set and asking too much from saints fans in linking the tickets to the carlise game he really is a bitter ****
Huffton Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 If United have been given 4100, as has been suggested elsewhere, that's a reduction on what they've had in the past. Anything to do with numptys bringing flares?
Huffton Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 I think the carlisle game link is great idea. How many people buy their tickets on a game by game basis? Quite a fair percentage I would imagine. THis way it means that no ST holding regular supporters will not miss out because a load of plastic ManUre fans want to come to their one game this millenium.
John B Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 I have been on his site and it comments seem quite reasonable on the subject But perhaps I have missed him saying that Cortese is profititeering which I dont think he is hhis approach is quite reasonable but will affect people who do not buy their own tickets
Um Bongo Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 Those in Block 41 should be alright, Pompey had 4100 for their game last season, guessing the netting will be in the same place.
JustMike Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 all the posts about sitting on your own...grow up! hardly on your own with 32000 others sat around you
Lord Duckhunter Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 Quite rightly S/T holders will get the first shout. I just find it wrong that everyone else is lumped in together, whether you've been to 1 game before or hundreds.There has to be a better system in the future.
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 great business thinking by NC as it assures a good attendence for carlisle game which is what he is paid to do but cant help thinking it is a bit steep to ask a family of four to shell out £100 plus ticket cost for carlilse. so potentially £150.
Turkish Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 (edited) What's fair about that? If you can't get to the Carlisle game you're stuffed aren't you? I'm certainly not going to pay for a match I can't attend so it looks like the telly for me. It'll make sure regulars get priority then wont it. Very good decision IMO. Means people that go regularly are rewarded and will help with the boost the attendance for the Carlise game. Good price too, the club have got it spot on with this one. BTW i know in the past if you couldn't make the game they speicifed, you could choose another game as long as you bought them both together, so if you cant make Carlise you can ask, for regulars this wont make any difference as we will be going anyway. Edited 11 January, 2011 by Turkish
Golden Balls Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 Happy with that. My season ticket has managed to get me first dibs on the pompey game, this game and 2 tickets for Wembley in the last year. Not bad.
Saint Garrett Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 I think it is fair enough - but would have rather it said, you have to buy a Man Utd ticket, along with another ticket before the end of the season, rather than saying it has to be the Carlisle game.
Weston Saint Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1946364,00.html This is the link to Pmpey game ticketing last season
simo Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 If that's the deal I'm out I'm afraid already got the t-shirt from last time wasn't all that ! If I wanted to go with the boy that's nearly £80 I can spend that wiser on league games!
View From The Top Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 I will be able to get 1 or 2 spare tickets on season tickets for folk if need be as couple of my lot are overseas on the 29th.
Chorlton Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 I see saints own supa dupa fan - Nick I. is having a pop at Cortese for "profiteering" for the Untied game with the prices set and asking too much from saints fans in linking the tickets to the carlise game he really is a bitter **** He has every right to still be bitter as the club still haven't sorted his season ticket. Am sure you will call him a bitter **** when you are next posting on the UI. FWIW, I think the linking in with Carlisle tickets is a good idea, though perhaps the club could have offered an alternative to the Carlisle game?
andrew40 Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 I am bit stuffed as well. As most of you know Sophie (accident 2007, in program for Birmingham game) I was hoping to take her, but as I am on the database and she's not and she would be the payee and I 'the carer' she cant go!! Kids are gutted as well, as we managed to get the whole family to the last Man Utd game at St Mary's. It makes a big difference to her! Maybe the letter from Sir Alex to come and meet her 'next time he is down', just put the kiss of death on that one!!
coxy Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 I will be able to get 1 or 2 spare tickets on season tickets for folk if need be as couple of my lot are overseas on the 29th. I'll have one please mate.
Big John Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 What are the hospitality enclosures for if not profiteering?! Christ, we're not going to moan at Nicola for rinsing some borish old ****s in ill fitting suits and crass gold jewellery trying to impress their permatanned, car-dealer, dickwad golfing mates are we? I'm sure they won't hesitate to delight in banging on tiresomely to all and sundry about how much they paid to be the big "I am". I am not complaining one little bit. i went on staurday and had a whale of a time, the win (although predicted by some) really was the icing on the cake. Compared tp the Man U game I think the £57.57 we paid was a bargain. Not sure I quite agree with the inverted snobbery against those who can afford it though, that's is the good thing with wealthy people...they don't necesarily appreciate the money and hence splash it about for Joe Soap to have a few crumbs. It's not healthy my friend to envy anyone having anything, it really isn't. Be content with what you have, waking up in the morning is priceless and one day we won't. NB Hope this doesn;t read as up my self, it's honestly not meant in that way.
Big John Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 The corporate seats sell out in a flash for these games, it makes sense to hike the prices up. There are plenty of rich ****ers around this area with spoilt brat kids who support Man U, they will sell out at that price easy. I would be surprised if the 'kids go free' will apply tbh, it may not be sold as the 1885 package. Even our poor disabled supporters may have to pay for their carers but again I am not saying that that is a bad thing as the enabler receives the full hospitality too, maybe a concession but not a freebie would be palatable (pun intended). Anyway, I have probably been led up the garden path and they'll do it for a knock down £125 to prove that nothing is fact until it's on the official site....what do I know..
lethallee Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 I am not a ST holder and only get to go to perhaps 5 games a season due to other commitments but I think this is ticketing policy is a shrewd move by NC and to be honest pretty fair. It should mean vast majority of fans in home ends will be supporting Saints and as stated in other posts it will guarantee good crowd for Carlisle. Even if we don't sell out we will have the tv revenue to make up the difference.
dickyhale Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 online now http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/TicketNews/0,,10280~2264018,00.html Under 16 twenty quid
Big John Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 Doesnt exactly answer my question but guess the answer is no. So will need to buy ST seat tomorrow and then hope to buy mates tickets next to me when they go on general sale. Looks like I may be watching it on my own. That will p!ss my manc supporting brother off :-P Don;t you just love 'mates' who want to go to tghe footie with you one week and the next it's Carlisle and they're busy doing diddly squat. A friend in need (of a Man U ticket) is a friend indeed eh.. Still ....
LeBenali Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 Under similar circumstances last year (can't remember what match) the club eventually gave in and offered fans the chance to buy linked tickets to a further 2 or 3 games than perviously announced. For those of you in that boat, it's worth waiting on any further news, seeing as you can't buy tickets for another week anyway!
Griffo Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 Have been asked by 10 or so people for a ticket, about 2 or 3 Saints, 5 or so United, 1 West Ham and one Liverpool fan. Have told them all to **** off. Love games under the floodlights at SMS, has an extra 'edge' to it.
dune Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 When it says Adults £30 does this mean it's one price for anywhere in the ground?
up and away Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 I think they have been clever on this one, maximising profit and encouragement for the Carlisle game for those desperate to attend. This only works because the match is live on ITV, I wonder what would have been offered if that was not the case? It's obvious they are expecting a full house even with a late televised kick off, such must be the pull of ManU. And for all those locals with ManU sprogs, welcome to Carlisle. There are some aspects here I would not be happy with under normal conditions, but the fact the match is live on ITV takes care of that nicely. But it would not surprise me if we were not a few short of a full house, but the club should have done their homework.
Matthew Le God Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 When it says Adults £30 does this mean it's one price for anywhere in the ground? Yes (apart from the corporate seats/boxes etc of course).
dune Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 Yes (apart from the corporate seats/boxes etc of course). Thanks.
buctootim Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 The principle is fair imo, but if its only one ticket per season ticket holder and one per Carlisle ticket - does it mean that if Carlise doesnt sell out then the Man U game wont either - or am I being thick?
dune Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 The principle is fair imo, but if its only one ticket per season ticket holder and one per Carlisle ticket - does it mean that if Carlise doesnt sell out then the Man U game wont either - or am I being thick? You usually are.
ericb Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 absolutely spot on with the ticketing policy for this one if you ask me, not only in restricting it to one per season ticket holder (of which i'm one myself so no vested interest there) and in have a linked game. My only, tiny, complaint is that they didn't allow for those that had been to more games (say 5 or so) to buy there tickets in the second spell, then reducing it until the point they went on to general linked sale. All in though i'm very happy with this a good decision from the club and hopefully it means there won't be too many of the plastics/day trippers.
Jonnyboy Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 I will be able to get 1 or 2 spare tickets on season tickets for folk if need be as couple of my lot are overseas on the 29th. I would love to buy 2 if you can get them!
Mattio Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 Would have been nice to have an option of matches but I'm happy with that system, would have been nice if people on the database got a day or two over others (unless non database people don't get a chance at all) at least it stops the manure fans coming in the home end (and if they do the club make £20 - £30 for nowt)
Whitey Grandad Posted 11 January, 2011 Posted 11 January, 2011 The principle is fair imo, but if its only one ticket per season ticket holder and one per Carlisle ticket - does it mean that if Carlise doesnt sell out then the Man U game wont either - or am I being thick? Other way round. If Man U doesn't sell out, then it's unlikely that the Carlisle game will, or.... .... if the Man U game sells out then the Carlisle game will also be a sell-out, innit?
Liquidshokk Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Turns out the system will let ST holders buy as many as they like if bought individually
Liquidshokk Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Actually dont have to be individual..... quantity of 10 and no location chooses 10 seats together
Horley CTFC Saint Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Bit of a kick in the teeth for those who went to the Shrewsbury and Cheltenham games
Um Bongo Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 I've just logged on - I'm not a season ticket holder but It was letting me choose seats as well. (Note: I haven't bought any)
Bourno Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Gone online and can't get my own seat anyone else had problems?
derry Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Every home match we have at least 13000 STs plus 7000 random non STs who would go to the Carlisle game. That means that another 8000 tickets will be sold worth at least another £200,000 for the Carlisle game.
saint_bert Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Altough I wont be going to the united game, I think its a good policy the club has put in place here. I shall go to the Carlise game though so looking foward to that
Liquidshokk Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Couldnt get my own seat but got the one next to it (!?!?) Could buy as many seats as i like at the moment! Think theres something screwy going on. If you havent got a ST you might aswell get on there and buy your ticket(s)!
Saint_Mabes Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Sorry, i'm sure this has been clarified but low on time and can't go through the thread. How many tickets can I purchase with my season ticket? OS seems to suggest just your seat. I assumed I could buy 2 per season ticket? Thanks
