saintscottofthenortham Posted 24 July, 2011 Posted 24 July, 2011 Mine arrived Friday too with no problem. Matches 1-23 all there. Wooop!
Nexstar Posted 24 July, 2011 Posted 24 July, 2011 Just got home to find mine missing the first 8 games. Will get on the phone tomorrow
Nexstar Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 Right... Just got off of the phone with the ticket enquiries line (the 0845 6889288 number rather than the sales one). I'd barely finished telling the woman on the other end what had happened before she apologised. Apparently they're trying to work out which was the dodgy batch but in the meantime are laboriously phoning through everybody that's bought one to check whether they've been affected. She asked me to destroy my current booklet and said there'll be a full one on its way in the post today. Seems reasonable in terms of how little effort I had to put in, but I can see a few problems arising if people don't destroy their old booklets. Or if there's a few chancers they phone who claim theirs is incorrect when it isn't. Cynical I know, but not impossible. Pretty big cock-up in all. Glad I've got mine sorted, but looking at the bigger picture this could give the club headaches all season. Do you think there might be some kind of verification process before they send the tickets out next year? Cheers for that number. Rang the regular one and they said I'd have to post it back, so I tried yours and the lady said there would be one in the post today.
This Charming Man Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 When I rang up I was told I had to post mine back in. Anyone know Cortese' email address. I would like a cheque to cover the costs of the 1st Class Stamp.
Alucard Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 When I rang up I was told I had to post mine back in. Anyone know Cortese' email address. I would like a cheque to cover the costs of the 1st Class Stamp. Surely you should be asking for a £3 handling charge.
The Kraken Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 When I rang up I was told I had to post mine back in. Anyone know Cortese' email address. I would like a cheque to cover the costs of the 1st Class Stamp. It's freepost.
um pahars Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 It's freepost. Administration and handling costs????
The Kraken Posted 25 July, 2011 Posted 25 July, 2011 Administration and handling costs???? And the cost of an envelope, of course. I want my 6p Cortese, damn you!
terrypward Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 Anyone else not had theirs through yet? My postman is a wenker!
Liquidshokk Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 Anyone else not had theirs through yet? My postman is a wenker! Mine only arrived yesterday. Was told on Saturday that it had been printed last Friday All matches were there which was a surprise
This Charming Man Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 It's freepost. And? I'm still going to put a stamp on it, so when I'm pictured on the front of The Echo pointing at my half empty ST with a sad face, people will have more sympathy for me.
Weston Saint Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 Mine has not arrived yet despite all those near me in the Stadium receiving theirs, and we paid the same time in early July. However email response I had within hours of sending an enquiry Your season ticket is currently due to be printed out, the season tickets do not come out in any specific order unfortunately. However your season ticket will be posted out over the next couple of days.
Saintframmy Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 Received my ST`s yesterday, all 7! and only 2 started from game 1. Hubby rang the office this morning and was told, to bring them back down to the stadium and they would simply staple the other 8 games back into the books! And yes they were full payment, not part payment tickets! AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! Same old, same old! Sort it out down there peeerrrllleeeaasssee! :-(
Junction 9 Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 Got mine in the post today, 1-23 all present and correct.
Nexstar Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 Received my second season ticket booklet today. Just ring the ticket enquiry line if you don't want to have to visit the stadium to swap it over, or stick it in the post.
stevegrant Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 Got mine on Friday, only had 9-23. Waiting for the replacement to be posted before sending back/destroying the old one, I'm not going to risk not having any sort of season ticket for the Leeds game...
Matthew Le God Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 Really is amazing they didn't have a ticket checking system before they posted them out. A simple double check would have most likely prevented this. Luckily mine was okay, but it seems quite widespread.

Waiting for the replacement to be posted before sending back/destroying the old one, I'm not going to risk not having any sort of season ticket for the Leeds game... We all know you'll be keeping the booklet and flogging the vouchers for big games like the Skates.
The9 Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 We all know you'll be keeping the booklet and flogging the vouchers for big games like the Skates. I'm not sure how Steve thinks having a ticket for matches 9-23 is going to get him into match 1.
The9 Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 Any idea how many sold ? No, but they've posted 40,000.
This Charming Man Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 I'm not sure how Steve thinks having a ticket for matches 9-23 is going to get him into match 1. I think he just wants it so he can wave it in the stewards faces when they refuse to let him enter the ground due to not having the correct match voucher.
The Cat Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 We all know you'll be keeping the booklet and flogging the vouchers for big games like the Skates. Sshhhhh.
The9 Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 I think he just wants it so he can wave it in the stewards faces when they refuse to let him enter the ground due to not having the correct match voucher. Well yeah, but that doesn't mean he hasn't given them all to his mate who's already in the ground. Not Steve, but the turnstile operator doesn't know what he's like... This does actually have some quite serious repercussions for ground safety - if it wasn't for the fact that you could probably get 60,000 people into the seated areas standing up, and that not everyone who has got voucher booklets has two copies of matches 1-8 it could turn out to be quite a problem. Match 9 will also be interesting...
stevegrant Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 Match 9 will also be interesting... Brighton... what could possibly go wrong?
ant Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 It should be the first 40,000+ attendance of the season then
This Charming Man Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 Just received my new Season Ticket and they've only sent out the voucher booklet. Not an entire new ST. So there goes my dreams of touting the duplicate vouchers.
saintscottofthenortham Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 Anyone think it's cheeky that we get no discounts off anything now? I was looking forward to using my 10% off my away shirt with my N-Power voucher. B*stards.
Bourno Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 received 2 new full booklets today. I was asked via email to destroy my incorrect booklets.
This Charming Man Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 I might try and get away with putting the incorrect voucher booklet in last seasons ST wallet. See if I could get away with selling that to some little scamp for a few bob.
Saint_John Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 Any idea how many sold ? I was told "14 and a half thousand" when I got my WBA ticket this morning (almost twice the 7,600 down the road). At about 09:45 they had only sold 4,500 for tonight.
solentstars Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 I was told "14 and a half thousand" when I got my WBA ticket this morning (almost twice the 7,600 down the road). At about 09:45 they had only sold 4,500 for tonight. no surprise has they seem to go out of their way to alienate alot of the supporters
JRM Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 I was told "14 and a half thousand" when I got my WBA ticket this morning (almost twice the 7,600 down the road). At about 09:45 they had only sold 4,500 for tonight. 14.5 isn't bad, but would be nice to match Brighton's 18k to be best supported club on south coast.
View From The Top Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 14.5 isn't bad, but would be nice to match Brighton's 18k to be best supported club on south coast. Their season tickets were offered in great packages, unlike ours.
This Charming Man Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 I was told "14 and a half thousand" when I got my WBA ticket this morning (almost twice the 7,600 down the road). At about 09:45 they had only sold 4,500 for tonight. There's no point comparing our support to those down the road. We're in a different league to them when it comes to support. It's a bit like comparing Cheryl Cole with Janice Battersby.
This Charming Man Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 Their season tickets were offered in great packages, unlike ours. Did they receive a nice letter in the post reminding them that as it's the pre-season, they thought they'd whack some Season Tickets on sale?
View From The Top Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 Did they receive a nice letter in the post reminding them that as it's the pre-season, they thought they'd whack some Season Tickets on sale? More like the same price for virtually every seat and flexible, no interest, terms, including up to 12 months. I'd have settled for not having to do a 360mile round trip to pay in instalments.
JRM Posted 27 July, 2011 Posted 27 July, 2011 Did they receive a nice letter in the post reminding them that as it's the pre-season, they thought they'd whack some Season Tickets on sale? Better pricing - fundamentally best selling point, they also had them on sale during the run in to the season which allowed them to cash in on the feelgood factor of a winning team and promotion. Thought about going to their first game v spurs on Saturday to do the ground

Thought about going to their first game v spurs on Saturday to do the ground Few Spurs mates are going and they have a spare now. I would've probably gone if we weren't in the same league. Imagine Spurs will have a decent following there.
saintwiz Posted 28 July, 2011 Posted 28 July, 2011 No money off voucher with this years season ticket (10% off Away shirt)
Leicestersaint Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 Am I the only person who hasn't yet received their season ticket - should i be getting worried??
saintscottofthenortham Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 Am I the only person who hasn't yet received their season ticket - should i be getting worried?? Is your name Nick?
North Wilts Saint Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 Mine only arrived today, phoned ticket office yesterday who said phone if not arrived by next Wednesday as were still working through getting them out.
Leicestersaint Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 Thanks - next Wednesday would be cutting it fine for the first match!

70's Mike Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 Our 3 arrived today, all games included bring it on
Saints4Prem Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 I got mine on Wednesday (4) and all short of the first 8 games so I made the call to 0845 6889288 (thanks Nextstar) got straight through and told them all four were short. They said they would put them in the post and yes I got a letter this morning unfortunately with only one book in. (The kids and my dad are distraught as I am the only one sure of going to the Leeds game). I hope they get it right after my next call but how are they going to cope from the 9th game on with all the tickets out there. I have not been asked to return mine or destroy them. I have now decided to pay my pound and visit the ticket office tomorrow when I get the kids new shirts and return my books when they hopefully they give me the correct ones.
Smirking_Saint Posted 29 July, 2011 Posted 29 July, 2011 More like the same price for virtually every seat and flexible, no interest, terms, including up to 12 months. I'd have settled for not having to do a 360mile round trip to pay in instalments. TBF we would pretty much sell ST's whatever happened, and it isn't a terrible deal, £16 a game is pretty good. Football has always been expensive at St Marys. This year looks expensive as last year was so good. Plus Brighton have the opposite connundrum. They want to sell as many as possible, in the new stadium, they have been playing in a 7k seater for ages and if they crash and burn in the NPC they won't get a return. Simples. p.s Have they really sold 18k ?
