JRM Posted 7 September, 2011 Posted 7 September, 2011 Ticket Details announced http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2443832,00.html Bit out of order that it is so much cheaper to go in the family bit, can't see to many kids going to Cardiff on a Tuesday night. 2000 tickets in total, will be good to take quite a few and i'm sure we will if we are still doing well in the league, another new ground to do in the quest for completing the 92.
saint_bert Posted 7 September, 2011 Posted 7 September, 2011 We got our train tickets last month and are staying up there overnight. My old mans 50th birthday too.
welshsaint92 Posted 7 September, 2011 Posted 7 September, 2011 Whats the chances of this making general sale?
LGTL Posted 7 September, 2011 Posted 7 September, 2011 Whats the chances of this making general sale? Pretty likely i'd say.
JRM Posted 7 September, 2011 Author Posted 7 September, 2011 Whats the chances of this making general sale? 100% I reckon, we won't take that many midweek, and even if we get close to selling out it won't be until they've been on general sale for a while.
Griffo Posted 7 September, 2011 Posted 7 September, 2011 I have no idea how to get to this one. But I will, somehow.
Appy Posted 7 September, 2011 Posted 7 September, 2011 I have no idea how to get to this one. But I will, somehow. This. I may even end up doing the unthinkable and go on the bingo bus.
JRM Posted 7 September, 2011 Author Posted 7 September, 2011 I have no idea how to get to this one. But I will, somehow. will you still be in london then mate?
LGTL Posted 7 September, 2011 Posted 7 September, 2011 Getting our tickets tomorrow, should hope for a decent enough following.
Griffo Posted 7 September, 2011 Posted 7 September, 2011 will you still be in london then mate? Unfortunately not. Otherwise I'd be going with T and S.
JRM Posted 8 September, 2011 Author Posted 8 September, 2011 Unfortunately not. Otherwise I'd be going with T and S. Ok mate, just wondering, i can't get the time off, but might go by coach on national express they have one back to Heathrow leaving Cardiff just gone 11pm. Would get me home about 3am, tempted but will think about it for a couple of weeks.
This Charming Man Posted 8 September, 2011 Posted 8 September, 2011 I too shall be attending, just need to work out how to get there and back. A night out in Cymru could be on the cards...
Bourno Posted 8 September, 2011 Posted 8 September, 2011 tickets for this not showing as available on online ticket sales system.

LGTL Posted 8 September, 2011 Posted 8 September, 2011 tickets for this not showing as available on online ticket sales system. I don't think it's available online until General Sale, booking line or in person only. Don't quote me on it though.
saints_is_the_south Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 Really looking forward to this one. Staying up there the night, £25 Etap hotel between 3 of us. Got the train tickets ages ago, think it worked out something like £14 return on advance fares.
LGTL Posted 11 September, 2011 Posted 11 September, 2011 Got our tickets for this one yesterday, really looking forward to it.
Huffton Posted 12 September, 2011 Posted 12 September, 2011 Not very happy, can't book tickets online and TO won't waive the ticket tax for buying over the phone. Sometimes I wonder if this club actually wants supporters
JRM Posted 12 September, 2011 Author Posted 12 September, 2011 Not very happy, can't book tickets online and TO won't waive the ticket tax for buying over the phone. Sometimes I wonder if this club actually wants supporters Not sure where you've been for the last year but the ticket tax is also charged when buying online, i agree it is a joke, best bet is to buy the cardiff tickets when at the Birmingham game on sunday from the window, no tax.
stkev7 Posted 12 September, 2011 Posted 12 September, 2011 Really looking forward to this one. Staying up there the night, £25 Etap hotel between 3 of us. Got the train tickets ages ago, think it worked out something like £14 return on advance fares. We stayed in an Etap in Manchester for the Rochdale game last season, about as cheap as it gets and it's not even a sh*thole.
Huffton Posted 12 September, 2011 Posted 12 September, 2011 Not sure where you've been for the last year but the ticket tax is also charged when buying online, No need to be rude about it. I usually buy from the ticket office direct but I can't get up there this week and I want to get a family ticket before they go.
Scarface Posted 12 September, 2011 Posted 12 September, 2011 I think we should sell this out.... cant wait for this one.
JRM Posted 12 September, 2011 Author Posted 12 September, 2011 No need to be rude about it. I usually buy from the ticket office direct but I can't get up there this week and I want to get a family ticket before they go. i am surprised the ticket office didn't point out to you that they wouldn't waive the fee as you wouldn't save it anyway online. will be interesting to see if the family area is contained within the same section as the rest of the away fans as it is considerably cheaper. i will be impressed if we do take 1988 to Cardiff on a Tuesday night, although can see quite a few picking this one ahead of Burnley away the saturday before.

I hope it is as im the family bit, not sure i fancy being 1 of only a hundred odd in cardiff's main end. On secound thoughts sounds like a great night out.
Benali Saint Posted 13 September, 2011 Posted 13 September, 2011 Got my ticket. Just hope its a good night
SaintAndy14 Posted 13 September, 2011 Posted 13 September, 2011 Anyone got any idea of how many we have sold so far? I am desperate to go to this one but would have to book a flight to get there and don't want to book now to find out on Friday, when they go on general sale, that I can't get a ticket for my brother and I! Phoned the ticket office up but the woman wouldn't indicate how sales were going and simply said 'I cannot guarantee you a ticket on Friday' - surely it's very unlikely that we would sell out before they go on general sale?

Phoned the ticket office up but the woman wouldn't indicate how sales were going and simply said 'I cannot guarantee you a ticket on Friday' - surely it's very unlikely that we would sell out before they go on general sale? where are you flying from? chances are flight prices won't change much next couple of days so why don't you wait to buy your match ticket first? would say it is virtually 100% there will still be tickets left on friday though, no chance of us selling out this early.

Thanks for the comments mate. Flying from Jersey and flight prices are crazy so would tie this trip in with the Watford home game too - just worried prices will go up by Friday as Flybe are a pain in the bum. Think I will book it regardless as, like you say, there isn't much chance of us selling out for this before general sale!

CFSFC Posted 14 September, 2011 Posted 14 September, 2011 It won't sell out,you'll definitely get a ticket. I disagree, new ground not that far away... we took 900 to hartlepool midweek, so be suprised if we don't sell out.
Sour Mash Posted 15 September, 2011 Posted 15 September, 2011 I disagree, new ground not that far away... we took 900 to hartlepool midweek, so be suprised if we don't sell out. OK, I'll re-phrase. Anyone who wants a ticket, regardless of whether or not they are a season ticket holder etc or not will get a ticket. I agree that we'll take a lot there and will come pretty close to selling out though.
forever a red and white Posted 16 September, 2011 Posted 16 September, 2011 If you buy a student ticket online, will they post it or do you def have to collect it, getting multiple tickets and not getting to SMS before this game? In reference to it saying student ticket with valid Student card
Wilko Posted 16 September, 2011 Posted 16 September, 2011 I'll be driving to this. On the off chance anybody from the Cheltenham area is going, a lift is on offer.
SaintAndy14 Posted 16 September, 2011 Posted 16 September, 2011 If you buy a student ticket online, will they post it or do you def have to collect it, getting multiple tickets and not getting to SMS before this game? In reference to it saying student ticket with valid Student card Not 100% sure but I think they will hold it for collection. I tried for a student ticket on the phone about 30mins ago for both Cardiff away and Watford at home and the lady said they would have to hold both until I got to the ticket office - as I am flying over for the Cardiff game I have to get them posted so had to book adults for everything!
JRM Posted 16 September, 2011 Author Posted 16 September, 2011 is anyone driving from the London area for this game?
stevegrant Posted 16 September, 2011 Posted 16 September, 2011 Following a bit of a balls-up on my part, I have two spare seats on the Megabus from Cardiff back to London Victoria for the Thursday, leaving Cardiff at 12.30pm.

In reference to it saying student ticket with valid Student card If you buy a student ticket online they will send it out to you. Over the phone they make you collect it.
Benali Saint Posted 17 September, 2011 Posted 17 September, 2011 Any decent away pubs near the ground?
This Charming Man Posted 17 September, 2011 Posted 17 September, 2011 Anyone driving from the Andover area?
saints_is_the_south Posted 17 September, 2011 Posted 17 September, 2011 Found this useful website earlier for Cardiff pubs: http://www.cardiffpubs.co.uk/index.html if anybody would like to take a look! I'm a traditional pub man, so The City Arms and The Queens Vaults look good to me. This boozer also does a steak and a drink for £6.49, conveniently on Wednesdays - http://www.greatukpubsandbars.co.uk/thepenandwigcardiff/ - A little bit outside the city centre, thinking of starting here for some grub and then moving back to the centre for the rest of the day.
forever a red and white Posted 18 September, 2011 Posted 18 September, 2011 Got seven tickets for this, going tp for four days of freshers too. Hopefully we'll put on a good show
Sour Mash Posted 22 September, 2011 Posted 22 September, 2011 Still have no idea how to get to this. Are the Saints Away coaches people running a coach for this one? Was Leicester a one off?
oldsarum Posted 22 September, 2011 Posted 22 September, 2011 Are the Saints Away coaches people running a coach for this one? Was Leicester a one off? saints away coaches advertised in the Echoo again on Monday and were offering trips to Burnley and Cardiff
JRM Posted 22 September, 2011 Author Posted 22 September, 2011 saints away coaches advertised in the Echoo again on Monday and were offering trips to Burnley and Cardiff correct, surprised they've not advertised on here, anyone interested these were the details The contact details are: Nick: 07801 867365, Alex: 07961 030850 or nickgregory2@gmail.com.
Griffo Posted 22 September, 2011 Posted 22 September, 2011 Is anyone driving from Southampton or Bournemouth to this? I have to be there.
JRM Posted 22 September, 2011 Author Posted 22 September, 2011 Is anyone driving from Southampton or Bournemouth to this? I have to be there. have you tried contacting that Nick in the post above? they are taking a coach from southampton.
Griffo Posted 22 September, 2011 Posted 22 September, 2011 have you tried contacting that Nick in the post above? they are taking a coach from southampton. It's tempting but I don't particularly fancy the coach journey!
