alpine_saint Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 We have suddenly decided to make an excursion to UK next week, so I am planning taking my two eldest to the Millwall game. Should I expect problems with getting tickets only 48-72 hours before kick off, if I go to the ticket office direct ?
alpine_saint Posted 9 August, 2011 Author Posted 9 August, 2011 No chance of a sell-out then ? I have no idea what allocation Millwall have got.
Cricketphilly Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 I bought them on the day a couple of years ago Alps, midweek league cup?
This Charming Man Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 No chance of a sell-out then ? I have no idea what allocation Millwall have got. No. Everyone has jumped off the bandwagon for now.
alpine_saint Posted 9 August, 2011 Author Posted 9 August, 2011 Don't start yodelling, it's a banning offence. Well, my missus is threatening to wear her Maria von Trapp dress...
Nexstar Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 Could you not ring the ticket office and get them to reserve 3 tickets for collection?
alpine_saint Posted 9 August, 2011 Author Posted 9 August, 2011 Could you not ring the ticket office and get them to reserve 3 tickets for collection? Dunno, can you do that ?
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 Well, my missus is threatening to wear her Maria von Trapp dress... I hope not; tell her to pull herself together...
alpine_saint Posted 9 August, 2011 Author Posted 9 August, 2011 I hope not; tell her to pull herself together... Hmmm, I am not sure you would say that if you saw it; does some remarkable things to her DD-sized bosom....
Huffton Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 Might be a daft question but are you on the database? THis kind of game usually seems to be database only sales, and equally if you are I can't see why they wouldn't reserve some for you.
This Charming Man Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 Dunno, can you do that ? Just tell them you want to collect the tickets as you live abroad. Simple.

alpine_saint Posted 9 August, 2011 Author Posted 9 August, 2011 So that's what these riots are about More to do with me having been diagnosed with a fairly serious illness and the feeling its time to visit home and family..

Saint_clark Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 More to do with me having been diagnosed with a fairly serious illness and the feeling its time to visit home and family.. Twas a mere joke Alps. Sorry to hear about that.
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 Hmmm, I am not sure you would say that if you saw it; does some remarkable things to her DD-sized bosom.... Oh dear Alps, whooooooosh
once_bitterne Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 Here you go Alps, it looks like this. I'm sure you'll be able to find it. We're the ones in red and white stripes, btw.
ericofarabia Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 More to do with me having been diagnosed with a fairly serious illness and the feeling its time to visit home and family.. Sorry to hear that - hope the boys give a performance to put a smile on your face.
Winnersaint Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 Enjoy it. Just don't get too uptight if it doesn't go to plan. hope things improve on health front.
Roger Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 Enjoy it. Just don't get too uptight if it doesn't go to plan. hope things improve on health front. Seriously are you okay mate.
corsacar saint Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 Alps your a legend on here.Good luck with fighting your health issues. Andy
S-Clarke Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 Should be fine to book in advance and arrange collection at the ticket office. Doubt it will be a sell out either. Good to see you coming over!
Saint Billy Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 More to do with me having been diagnosed with a fairly serious illness and the feeling its time to visit home and family.. Really sorry to hear that Alps, it happened to me when I lived abroad all but a couple of years ago, I had to move back for that reason. I hope all works out well for you.
Huffton Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 More to do with me having been diagnosed with a fairly serious illness and the feeling its time to visit home and family.. Sorry to read that. Hope its not too serious and you get it sorted asap.
boxosponge Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 Phone the ticket office, pay and collect. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2401034,00.html
Lets B Avenue Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 Dont spend more than 15 mins getting your tickets.
Guided Missile Posted 10 August, 2011 Posted 10 August, 2011 To be fair, I think calling obesity a fairly serious illness is stretching it...
alpine_saint Posted 10 August, 2011 Author Posted 10 August, 2011 To be fair, I think calling obesity a fairly serious illness is stretching it... I agree, as in being an arrogant c*nt isnt an illness either, so you dont need to visit your GP. However being obese isnt what I am talking about, Jonny boy. But I am not going to satisfy the voyeur in you and reveal what the problem is.

Com'on Alps, you know what they say. If you can't laugh at yourself, at least let me do it for you....

He has had a serious sense of humour loss which when a Saints supporter is life threatening he is coming back over to visit the hallowed area of St Mary's and then inspect Krap Nottarf which will immediately reinstall all his laughter genes when he see's the state of there lovely place of employement.
farawaysaint Posted 10 August, 2011 Posted 10 August, 2011 Always had a soft spot for your posts alps, sure you're a depressing sod but you've somehow earned yourself a cult following by doing just that. All the best wishes for a speedy recovery to a "true Saints fan". (After following Southampton for any length of time it's surprising we don't all feel the way you do. )
alpine_saint Posted 12 August, 2011 Author Posted 12 August, 2011 I just had a friend (and fellow Saints fan) stop by for a coffee on his way back to Blighty after a holiday in Croatia. Says he fancies going to this game too, but doesnt know if he is free until he gets back to the UK on Sunday, and could i wait until mid-week before buying tickets. I dont want to mis out on a chance to see Saints, does any one know the current sales level for this game, and if they are expecting a sell-out ? Would appreciate the info.

They could announce they're going to resurrect ML on the pitch at HT and it still wouldn't sell out. Will be 24k there, IMO.
alpine_saint Posted 12 August, 2011 Author Posted 12 August, 2011 They could announce they're going to resurrect ML on the pitch at HT and it still wouldn't sell out. Will be 24k there, IMO. Sounds a bit low, considering how many Millwall will bring.
This Charming Man Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Sounds a bit low, considering how many Millwall will bring. Leeds had 3,200 down and we only managed to muster 25k for the opening game of the season. Imagine 'wall will bring 2,500 or so.

CFSFC Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 More to do with me having been diagnosed with a fairly serious illness and the feeling its time to visit home and family.. Not the really the time to bring it up, feel for you and all but a bit of a cry out for attention

alpine_saint Posted 12 August, 2011 Author Posted 12 August, 2011 Not the really the time to bring it up, feel for you and all but a bit of a cry out for attention Wasnt intended to be so. Wish I hadnt posted it now.
BARCELONASAINT Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Seriously Alps, hope whatever is wrong is treatable and you are back 100% fit. Will be nice to know you are somewhere in the crowd come the Millwall game. Take no notice of any cynical stupid remarks on here.
Barry the Badger Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Seriously Alps, hope whatever is wrong is treatable and you are back 100% fit. Or at least back to normal.
Ian the Red Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Think there will be 29k, as we will beat Barnsley and Ipswich the level of interest will increase!! Get well soon Alps, I look forward to your posts!!
CFSFC Posted 12 August, 2011 Posted 12 August, 2011 Wasnt intended to be so. Wish I hadnt posted it now. Fair play mate, all the best.
