shirleysfc Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 Mine have just gone on this morning, so they are still processing. How many aways have you done?
ladysaint Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 I did hear from someone who contacted the TO and said that you would need to have gone to 2 away games to qualify, that seems a bit low to me as our support on the road this season has been amazing.
saintwiz Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 Mine have just gone on this morning, so they are still processing. How many away games bungle?
fish fingers Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 How many away games bungle? I think our booking application average was 6/7. That was across 6 people.
COMEONYOUREDS Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 Surely there cant be that many fans who will average more than 3 or so games? I know we have some nutters who do every/most away games but given we average 1.5/2k ish (total guess?) on the road this season that must mean with 3+ you should get a ticket. I am worried now as I have no idea how many games were on the other 4 STs I applied with.... probably less than my 4, or is it 5? What a stupid way of allocating tickets, absolute nonsense.

It wasn't compulsory to put in for 5 or so on the same application. It was done for those who do go to most games together. You could quite easily have applied for yours seperately.

You could quite easily have applied for yours seperately. I know that, i'm not stupid. I honestly didn't think it would be so popular and I thought that it would go to general sale. As someone else has pointed out Pompey away went to general sale last time we played down there, for example. Do you not think it is a stupid way of allocating tickets? I.e. someone who has say 10 aways applies with somebody with 0, they both get tickets as they average 5. Therefore your "It was done for those who do go to most games together" statement doesnt really add up. Just a thought.
Lets B Avenue Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 5 of our group have been to over 10 games this season. They were on one application. The rest were done seperately. It does add up.
COMEONYOUREDS Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 5 of our group have been to over 10 games this season. They were on one application. The rest were done seperately. It does add up. ... In your case. Clearly given the number of games you and your friends have been to you will rightly get tickets, and maybe your second batch will too. But the example I just gave you would mean someone who hasnt been to a single away game would get a ticket, based on saintwiz getting one on his own with 4, using this average system the ticket office are using. To be honest I don't care how you applied for your tickets, doesn't mean everyone did it like that. I also don't have time to sit down and work out how many away games my friend (who is out of the country and not contactable) has been to and recorded on his account. We're not all uber fans whose entire lives revolve around saints. Of course, this all depends on the people in the ticket office actually allocating the tickets using the sytem. I have little faith from past experience this will be the case.
Lets B Avenue Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 So people that go to most games are, in your words, "nutters" and "uber fans whose entire lives revolve around Saints." Nice. You also state that you didn't have enough time etc etc. Pity you had enough to come on here and complain about it.
Nexstar Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 My 4 are showing up on my history We averaged about 7 each

I only came back on here to respond to you, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings with my comments. Clearly you are one of those trolls on here who just wants to twist peoples posts into something they're not, how very sad. You're as bad as alpine, delldays, hypo and stu but less funny. IMO people who go to every away game are nutters, but fair play to them. The uber fan comment was really only directed at you because you seem like such a **** No I dont have time to ring round his family and ask if they can find out, but I do have time to post a couple of times on here. Why do you care anyway? Edited 2 March, 2011 by COMEONYOUREDS

ladysaint Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 I have just got mine today Yes been allocated mine now as well.
Saints foreva Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 Thankfully there isn't anything on my history, hopefully my application fails as after last night I really do not want to go to another away game this season - we always tend to lose when I go!
scott_saints Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 Paying by cheque means I probably wont know untill tickets do/don't come through by the end of the week
shirleysfc Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 Got our tickets now. We averaged 3 previous away matches.
Nexstar Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 Any chance of general sale? Think somebody said they had received more applications than tickets. If true it wouldn't reach general sale.
LA77 Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 How do you know if your tickets have been allocated? My transaction isn't showing up on my credit card yet. I applied for 4 tickets and we average 8 away games each. I just rang the ticket office and they said they have only just started the process of sending them out. You've got yours quick if they have arrived already

You've got yours quick if they have arrived already You should get them. Ours averaged less than that and they have shown up on my online account this afternoon, check that if you have registered for it. If they put it through on your credit card today it most likely wont show until tomorrow.
LA77 Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 Thanks mate. I asked if they could check if I was ok and she said "we are still in the process.." etc so I gave up. Also, I notice the online sales thing won't let me register. It tells me I need to register, then it says I have an account and go to retrieve password and all that ******. I swear I had that problem years ago trying to check out if my cup final tickets were allocated
Scarface Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 SO assume with the announcement on the website that its sold out, and allocations complete if its not showing on the system then we dont have one. Complete farce, I realised after submiting the application it will be done on an average, and asked if I could seperate them out for my friends who had zero away games, and they said it could not. As a result - bought my average down to 3, and we havent got one.

Another balls up by the ticket office! Send an email to tickets@saintsfc.co.uk and they will sort it for you

The9 Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 Why oh Facking why do the ticket office not come out & tell us what the score is ie how many away games? Because they wouldn't know until the applications were submitted, and they only had to be in on Monday.
The9 Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 Honestly, we've got some flappers on here... "I've been to 5", "I've been to 8 aways, will I get them ?" Yes, of course you will get them, assuming you haven't been ass-hatted and applied with 30 people who've never seen a football. Even when we were in the Prem and had to apply via post people who'd been to 4 or more matches ALWAYS got tickets, the cut off was 3 or sometimes 2 - and that was with 20,000+ ST holders and a staggered system that allocated to 6 and more, 5, 4, 3, 2, etc. and for away ends that were sometimes similar sized...
CitySaint Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 A new order went on my order history today and the money has come of my card, must mean I got a ticket.

Papa Shango Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 Confirmation that the game has sold out http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2306287,00.html
CitySaint Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 Either that or you've been scammed by some really stupid criminals. Or intelligent, depending on how you look at it.
saint_coxy Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 Anyone got idea of pubs yet for Bournemouth? I assume we will be put in a pub near the train station or near the ground?
markr27 Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 Our consortium of four average 2.5 away games, and we have been successful. Went through late, so I'm guessing we were lucky to get them....
Saint dyer Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 Has anyone had the money taken out of their account yet? Cheers
Chris Marsden = Genius Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 Has anyone had the money taken out of their account yet? Cheers I haven't but depends on how you paid i think. If you paid by cheque it may not have been recognised in your statement yet. I've been to 10 away so i should have tickets.
tttdcs Posted 2 March, 2011 Posted 2 March, 2011 (edited) It does not show on my account history that I have tickets allocated yet. Does anybody want to sell (above face value) one possibly two tickets ????? Edited 3 March, 2011 by tttdcs
shirleysfc Posted 3 March, 2011 Posted 3 March, 2011 Has anyone had the money taken out of their account yet? Cheers The money for four tickets is showing as a pending transaction on my online banking.
LA77 Posted 3 March, 2011 Posted 3 March, 2011 Has anyone had the money taken out of their account yet? Cheers My money hasn't come out yet. and yes the9 I am a proper flapper
HopperSaint Posted 3 March, 2011 Posted 3 March, 2011 Absolutely gutted as having just spoken to TO they claim never to have received our application by fax. Had been to 9 away games this season so should have been near the front of the queue. If anyone has 2 tickets they are willing to sell for decent money please let me know asap.
LA77 Posted 3 March, 2011 Posted 3 March, 2011 If your money hasn't come out of your account don't worry. TO just informed me ours have been allocated. Phone up the ticket office and ask them to check your customer numbers to see if you have been sorted out
Evil Monkey Posted 3 March, 2011 Posted 3 March, 2011 Just had a call to check my card details as my idiot housemate wrote down the wrong expiry date. Glad they checked rather than just moving on to the next application. Woo.
Andy_Porter Posted 3 March, 2011 Posted 3 March, 2011 Just had a call to check my card details as my idiot housemate wrote down the wrong expiry date. Glad they checked rather than just moving on to the next application. Woo. Wow - what a mong. I'm glad I don't live with an idiot like that. Do people think Bournemouth will be a bubble game and we will spend the whole day getting frog marched around by the police?

Do people think Bournemouth will be a bubble game and we will spend the whole day getting frog marched around by the police? I imagine so, as most of our support are probably getting the train down.
