fanimal Posted 11 February, 2011 Posted 11 February, 2011 What a joke from a club with a serious chip on its shoulder - Brighton had 2,500. I hope we stuff them once again this season!
100%Red&White Posted 11 February, 2011 Posted 11 February, 2011 They've only given us the open temporary seating behind the goal, Brighton had that and the normal away bit down the side. But what makes them look a particularly sorry bunch of c*nts is the fact the tickets for the Southampton game went on sale in October and they still haven't sold out - and they so want to be out rivals!
Papa Shango Posted 11 February, 2011 Posted 11 February, 2011 Can't wait for this one, should be a cracking atmosphere!
100%Red&White Posted 11 February, 2011 Posted 11 February, 2011 They've only given us the open temporary seating behind the goal I stand corrected, they've given us the usual away section down the side. But they're still a bunch of c*nts and they've still not sold out.
JRM Posted 11 February, 2011 Posted 11 February, 2011 If they still haven't sold out saints should do it for them and get busy buying tickets in the home end!!
dickyhale Posted 12 February, 2011 Posted 12 February, 2011 Post Ballot Application tomorrow morning when l got to pick a newspaper up. I think those who want a ticket should be okay. We had all this last season with Exeter and Brighton game.
alehouseboys Posted 12 February, 2011 Posted 12 February, 2011 Post Ballot Application tomorrow morning when l got to pick a newspaper up. I think those who want a ticket should be okay. We had all this last season with Exeter and Brighton game. Not a chance I'd say. Many Saints fans are traditionally bad for leaving it late for buying tickets and I think some always take the the stance that they'll never get tickets when their limited and go to ballot so don't bother. Both of the games you mention easily sold out with many Saints fans in home areas at Exeter last season and that's 120 miles away, Bournemouth is just 30 or 40 for most of us. Brighton are some of the worst, probably THE worst seats in football and some don't bother for that reason but we of course sell out. This is the business end of the season now and we'd have had thousands travelling if available...as it is I'll predict they'll be a LOT of ticketless Southampton lads in Bournemouth that day.

stevegrant Posted 12 February, 2011 Posted 12 February, 2011 The general rule is that if you can be bothered to send in an application, you'll get a ticket. Even for Pompey away, that's been the case. I'm intrigued by this system of averaging out the number of away games across a multiple-ticket application, so in theory a season ticket holder with 0 away games to their name this season could jump the queue ahead of someone who's been to 5 away games, if they applied alongside someone with 12 games.

A good point which I agree with. More than likely to occur because the game is so local, but not a local Derby. Just a thought, apart from extreme luck, how would such a disadvantaged fan actually discover that they have lost out in this manner?
dickyhale Posted 20 February, 2011 Posted 20 February, 2011 Went down to Dean Court yesterday to see Bournemouth v Huddersfield and asked about the Southampton game the cashiers said no tickets sale after 2pm on the day and something about me needing three stubs. Just thought l share this with you and I think most teams get about a 1000 tickets (but not sure)
Andy_Porter Posted 20 February, 2011 Posted 20 February, 2011 Sent my application. Hopefully my tickets I bought for the five postponed fixtures will still count towards my total as i've only been to five games without those included. If I don't get a ticket Ill probably still go down on the day for the session before and try to blag a ticket.
dickyhale Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 To all the fans that wanted to go to Dean court and buy a ticket and sit with the home fans dont bother AFCB v SAINTS - ALL AVAILABLE TICKETS SOLD http://www.afcb.co.uk/page/LatestTicketNews/0,,10324~2270822,00.html
Dog Posted 26 February, 2011 Posted 26 February, 2011 If anyone has a spare ticket for this game, please PM me.
tonibell Posted 27 February, 2011 Posted 27 February, 2011 (edited) Sent my post ballot application off got off my thai a s and posted it but not heard anything yet (done 6 away games this seasons so should be okay) Edited 27 February, 2011 by tonibell put year meant season
Dan Posted 27 February, 2011 Posted 27 February, 2011 Any idea of how many applications they have recieved?
Appy Posted 27 February, 2011 Posted 27 February, 2011 Sent my post ballot application off got off my thai a s and posted it but not heard anything yet (done 6 away games this year so should be okay) You won't hear anything until after tomorrow.
oldsarum Posted 28 February, 2011 Posted 28 February, 2011 Any idea of how many applications they have recieved? Just been informed by ticket office that more applications recieved than tickets, so some of those who applied are going to miss out
COMEONYOUREDS Posted 28 February, 2011 Posted 28 February, 2011 Just been informed by ticket office that more applications recieved than tickets, so some of those who applied are going to miss out just came on to post the same info. straight from ticket office
JRM Posted 28 February, 2011 Posted 28 February, 2011 Just been informed by ticket office that more applications recieved than tickets, so some of those who applied are going to miss out i know saints fans in the past could not be bothered to write, but this game being so important and a local short trip i'd have thought 3000 or so would have applied. shame they didn't give us loads as would be a good one to take a big following to.
LGTL Posted 28 February, 2011 Posted 28 February, 2011 So how will they be allocating tickets then say if there are 500 tickets left for those with 4 aways, but 1000 applicants have 4 aways...will it be done on who applied first or what?

Exactly! They have only given themselves a day to sort out this "ballot" so it will be interesting to see what happens.
alehouseboys Posted 1 March, 2011 Posted 1 March, 2011 If i don't get a ticket i will be fuming. Heard the weekend that they'd received twice as many applications as there were tickets so looks like you'll be very lucky to get one.
Appy Posted 1 March, 2011 Posted 1 March, 2011 Heard the weekend that they'd received twice as many applications as there were tickets so looks like you'll be very lucky to get one. I shouldn't need luck if the process is done properly, I've been too over 10 away games.
LGTL Posted 1 March, 2011 Posted 1 March, 2011 I shouldn't need luck if the process is done properly, I've been too over 10 away games. You can guarantee it won't be though. I'm predicting a straight ballot of everyone, regardless of away games, surely it'll be too difficult for them to organise otherwise in only a day?

I'm predicting a straight ballot of everyone, regardless of away games, surely it'll be too difficult for them to organise otherwise in only a day? If they've got any common sense (a bit of an assumption, I know...), they'll have been sorting through all the applications as and when they've arrived over the last two weeks or so, working out the average number of away games per application and putting them in order. Then when they start allocating tickets, they just start with the top of the list and work down until there are no tickets left.

They called up to confirm one of the membership numbers and that was on the first Monday after applications opened.
Papa Shango Posted 1 March, 2011 Posted 1 March, 2011 My ticket came through on my online history at 10am this morning.
ladysaint Posted 1 March, 2011 Posted 1 March, 2011 My ticket came through on my online history at 10am this morning. I have just checked mine and nothing yet.
saintwiz Posted 1 March, 2011 Posted 1 March, 2011 My ticket came through on my online history at 10am this morning. Not on mine FFS :-(
OldNick Posted 1 March, 2011 Posted 1 March, 2011 you're welcome to go, there will be loads of Pompey wannabees hoping to find a little old lady with a saints scarf to pick on. I have the offer to go as a guest of one of the bournemouth directors but am not sure whether to go. it could mean an end to a friendship
saintwiz Posted 1 March, 2011 Posted 1 March, 2011 Emailed ticket office asking what going on, reply - "The deadline only closed at 5pm yesterday, we will be processing the forms over the next few days."
Scarface Posted 1 March, 2011 Posted 1 March, 2011 E-mailed the ticket office to get an idea when we will find out, they suggested by the end of this week. Also it will only show up on your history if you were the main applicant, and tickets are being posted to your address. Suggested it was oversubscribed.
stevegrant Posted 1 March, 2011 Posted 1 March, 2011 Well they looked at ours. They called up to confirm one of the membership numbers and that was on the first Monday after applications opened. That was probably mine, Matt made a bit of a mess of writing my number on the form
NN2 Saint Posted 1 March, 2011 Posted 1 March, 2011 We just had a phone call to confirm details and to confirm that we have tickets good start to what should be a good day with 3 points tonight
Scarface Posted 1 March, 2011 Posted 1 March, 2011 We just had a phone call to confirm details and to confirm that we have tickets good start to what should be a good day with 3 points tonight How many away games did you guys average?
NN2 Saint Posted 1 March, 2011 Posted 1 March, 2011 Ive only missed Bristol Rovers, Swindon, Exeter and Peterboro this season. One of our mates has done all away games and another about 3 so I should imagine that works out roughly about 7 i think
Chorlton Posted 1 March, 2011 Posted 1 March, 2011 My Cherries ticket is showing on online history. I reckon I only have about 4/5 aways showing against my order history as I have paid cash at a few.
View From The Top Posted 1 March, 2011 Posted 1 March, 2011 My two are showing up and I've done 5 aways.
Bourno Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 Noooo, not showing in my account this morning, been to every away game this season, my son has been to every Saturday away plus Hartlepool. I submitted with 3 others who average 5. Thought we would have qualified easily.

Why was'nt this ballot sorted out 2/3 weeks ago. Why leave it so you dont know if your getting a ticket untill 8 days before the game? And what about a big screen at St Mary's to watch the game for those without tickets? After lasts night sh!te and this I am passed off. Count to 10 slowly.......
Scarface Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 Still not showing up, we had 5 away games each but 1 of the people on the application had no away games, so assuming if average dipped below 3 you wont get a ticket.

Why oh Facking why do the ticket office not come out & tell us what the score is ie how many away games?
bungle Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 Mine have just gone on this morning, so they are still processing.
