CFSFC Posted 26 September, 2011 Posted 26 September, 2011 If driving what is the latest i should set off for 7pm - How much will tickets be any ideas? what were they v Boro?
stkev7 Posted 26 September, 2011 Posted 26 September, 2011 I'm pretty sure Palace will give us as many as we want. Ideally £10 a ticket but I can see them going for £15. Get the train as it's only in London.
Saints foreva Posted 26 September, 2011 Posted 26 September, 2011 If driving what is the latest i should set off for 7pm - How much will tickets be any ideas? what were they v Boro? £15 Adults, £5 Concessions I think.
JRM Posted 26 September, 2011 Posted 26 September, 2011 If driving what is the latest i should set off for 7pm - How much will tickets be any ideas? what were they v Boro? for their game v Boro in the last round it was £15 in advance rising to £20 on the night which is steep in my opinion, not surpring they only got a crowd of 5,448. would imagine it will be same prices for our game. http://www.cpfc.co.uk/page/MatchTicketInformation/0,,10323~2450901,00.html
This Charming Man Posted 26 September, 2011 Posted 26 September, 2011 If driving what is the latest i should set off for 7pm - How much will tickets be any ideas? what were they v Boro? Traffic will be bad that time of day. Would probably be quicker to get the train.
saints_is_the_south Posted 26 September, 2011 Posted 26 September, 2011 Definitely doing this one, what with all our other London away games not being til next year it makes perfect sense. Drinking in London Bridge before hand I think, then train to Selhurst. Then Selhurst to Clapham Jct on the way back.

Drinking in London Bridge before hand I think, then train to Selhurst. Then Selhurst to Clapham Jct on the way back. if coming up from southampton i'd recommend drinking around Clapham Junction before the game, might save you money on the train ticket not going into London and quite a few pubs around there. Few pubs near Norwood Junction that aren't bad, recall the wetherspoons being so packed worth giving it a swerve.
CFSFC Posted 27 September, 2011 Author Posted 27 September, 2011 Traffic will be bad that time of day. Would probably be quicker to get the train. F**k that 20 odd quid home at gone midnight... makes for an expensive day for pretty much a reserve game.. Think i may even chance a consession.
Um Bongo Posted 4 October, 2011 Posted 4 October, 2011 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2472267,00.html Just over 1,000 tickets, £15 for adults.....
Sour Mash Posted 4 October, 2011 Posted 4 October, 2011 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2472267,00.html Just over 1,000 tickets, £15 for adults..... Don't know why they couldn't have put these on sale before the Watford game, Palace had the home tickets on sale middle of last week.
Seaside Saint 2 Posted 4 October, 2011 Posted 4 October, 2011 I'm planning on going but am not a season ticket holder, is this likely to sell out before it goes on general sale?
The Cat Posted 4 October, 2011 Posted 4 October, 2011 I'm planning on going but am not a season ticket holder, is this likely to sell out before it goes on general sale? No way will it sell out. I'd imagine you could even buy on the day if you wanted to.
CFSFC Posted 4 October, 2011 Author Posted 4 October, 2011 More tickets available on the day if needed - would love to win and have a winnable home game for a place in the semi final.
Sour Mash Posted 12 October, 2011 Posted 12 October, 2011 Anyone know how many tickets will become available for this one all told? Chances of selling out?
IFHP Posted 12 October, 2011 Posted 12 October, 2011 Anyone know how many tickets will become available for this one all told? Chances of selling out? Chances of selling out = zero. Just under 4,000 tickets if we needed them.
Sour Mash Posted 12 October, 2011 Posted 12 October, 2011 Chances of selling out = zero. Just under 4,000 tickets if we needed them. Cheers mate, thought it might be something like that. Tickets not on sale for this on-line are they? Really don't get how our ticketing systems work sometimes!
JRM Posted 12 October, 2011 Posted 12 October, 2011 Cheers mate, thought it might be something like that. Tickets not on sale for this on-line are they? Really don't get how our ticketing systems work sometimes! they now only sell online away tickets when they go on general sale as the online tool is so rubbish it can't cope with restricted sale.
stevegrant Posted 12 October, 2011 Posted 12 October, 2011 they now only sell online away tickets when they go on general sale as the online tool is so rubbish it can't cope with restricted sale. It always used to work fine. Seems as though those in charge of actually running the system at St Mary's these days don't have the faintest idea what they're doing. Quelle surprise.

I remember in the past I've bought more tickets than I should've been able to for the Man Utd and Skate cup games, when they were on restricted sale. Seems that instead of fixing the bug, they've removed the option altogether.

The Cat Posted 12 October, 2011 Posted 12 October, 2011 Just worked out a decent way of getting there if you are driving but don't want to risk the M25 and South London traffic. Drive to Kew and park near the station (it's free on the road in the evenings) then get the overland train to Thornton Heath (45-55 mins, one change, under a fiver)

Drive to Kew and park near the station (it's free on the road in the evenings) then get the overland train to Thornton Heath (45-55 mins, one change, under a fiver) i live near Kew and not sure i'd recommend that mate, for a faster train service Richmond to Clapham would be better, or head towards Wimbledon, if getting on the train might as well come the whole way as coming back Thornton Heath to Clapham then Southampton will get you back fairly quickly.

Looked at that but my problem is I need to get back to Hamble. No way of doing it that time of night unless I pay for a taxi, and it's not worth the expense for a Carling Cup match! Reason for parking in Kew is it's free and I don't know anywhere in Richmond to do that. Wimbledon's a good shout though as I can go straight up the A3 and shout some abuse out the window as I pass Pompey.
Griffo Posted 13 October, 2011 Posted 13 October, 2011 Looking forward to this one, Palace is a big game for me!
SaintMilesie Posted 17 October, 2011 Posted 17 October, 2011 they now only sell online away tickets when they go on general sale as the online tool is so rubbish it can't cope with restricted sale. Are they on Gen sale to tomorrow before the WH game ?
Bucks Saint Posted 17 October, 2011 Posted 17 October, 2011 Are they on Gen sale to tomorrow before the WH game ? Should be. I will be picking one up via online tomorrow. Palace is pretty easy straight from work for me, so midweek is better than a Saturday. Two away trips in a three days, here we come!
Saint-scooby Posted 18 October, 2011 Posted 18 October, 2011 PM I may have some spare seats for the return journey only "long story"
SaintMilesie Posted 19 October, 2011 Posted 19 October, 2011 I would defo go, when Brum got to there final last year they allocated cup final tickets on how many Carling Cup games fans had been too in earlier rounds.
Lighthouse Posted 19 October, 2011 Posted 19 October, 2011 Anyone going from Bristol (or anywhere else along the M4) and fancy sharing a lift?
This Charming Man Posted 19 October, 2011 Posted 19 October, 2011 I would defo go, when Brum got to there final last year they allocated cup final tickets on how many Carling Cup games fans had been too in earlier rounds. That would've been around 300 odd fans then, going by their support.
saints_is_the_south Posted 20 October, 2011 Posted 20 October, 2011 Just been down the TO to get mine and its sold out, more tickets on their way though should arrive tomorrow morning.
Bucks Saint Posted 20 October, 2011 Posted 20 October, 2011 Just been down the TO to get mine and its sold out, more tickets on their way though should arrive tomorrow morning. Great support keeps on going! Midweek, carling cup, in the middle of a rash of games too
JRM Posted 20 October, 2011 Posted 20 October, 2011 Great support keeps on going! Midweek, carling cup, in the middle of a rash of games too the only reason why they were "sold out" was because they gave us a handful to begin with, don't know why it was an initial allocation of 1000 when we would clearly want more, and they have room for several thousand in that stand. looking forward to this one, don't want to get any injuries of suspensions, but would be great to get through to the 1/4 finals would be cracking.
CFSFC Posted 20 October, 2011 Author Posted 20 October, 2011 Be nice to take 1500 up... and like JRM sais get a win with the squad and then have a winnable qf tie at home and get ourselves to a semi. My team... Bart, Butterfield, Fonte, Martin, Harding, Guly, Morgan, Chaplow, Holmes, Lambert, Reeves,

Bart, Butterfield, Fonte, Martin, Harding, Guly, Morgan, Chaplow, Holmes, Lambert, Reeves, http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2488600,00.html We've already sold over 1,500 and just taken another 900 which they're expecting to go. It's also pay-on-the-night (goes up a couple of quid) so will be a top turn-out for this competition. Will make a right ol' racket in that old stand.
saints_is_the_south Posted 20 October, 2011 Posted 20 October, 2011 Initial allocation of over 1,500? Wasn't it 1,109?!

Does it say for definite that there are more tickets/tickets available on the night after this additional allocation has been sold? I would assume there'd be plenty more, but that article doesn't really make it clear.
CFSFC Posted 20 October, 2011 Author Posted 20 October, 2011 It seems to be a trend advertise initial allocation of x then sell more due to people being concerned at not getting them. Then we sell loads. Well im now hoping we take up 2000+ should be a good night. Let's hope we beat them hate palace

Let's hope we beat them hate palace Would be gutted to get a good chance of a cup run, then go out to someone like Palace. Their first team has been decent this year, can't see their 2nd string being up to much though, depends what teams either side turns out I guess.
JRM Posted 20 October, 2011 Posted 20 October, 2011 Good news if we really have sold over 1500 already and have another 800 on sale, shift those before next Tuesday and have a few pay on the day and we could re-name the ground Dellhurst Park. i honestly can't remember a season where we have taken 2000+ regularly away from home, good to see.

We should play our best team IMO, its a shot at a League Cup 1/4 final!
alehouseboys Posted 21 October, 2011 Posted 21 October, 2011 Does it say for definite that there are more tickets/tickets available on the night after this additional allocation has been sold? I would assume there'd be plenty more, but that article doesn't really make it clear. I'm sure I read previously that they were but it does suggest on that link that tickets are available on-the-day as it says: "* Please note, on the day of the game there will be an increase in the Adult price. This will rise to £20.00." I got it wrong in my last post that it goes up a couple of quid 'otd', it goes up from £15 to £20 so well worth buying in advance. I believe they've also given us the entire stand, initially the centre section and then whatever else is required. Palace only got 11k during the week against Bristol City in the league so I wouldn't think they'll expect too many more for this cup game and would welcome as many Saints fans as possible. Could be a good night.

We've got no idea what our total allocation might be.
Griffo Posted 21 October, 2011 Posted 21 October, 2011 I hope we play our first strength team. I couldn't bare to lose this.
AussieDog Posted 21 October, 2011 Posted 21 October, 2011 if they only had 5k for the previous cup game it really could be dellhurst park if we have a big walk-up following on the night. It's a tricky tie though...Palace seem to be doing pretty well this season
StDunko Posted 25 October, 2011 Posted 25 October, 2011 Got 3 tickets late yesterday. Really surprised that we have already sold more than 2000. Should be a fun night, so long as I don't miss the very last train back to Chichester. Hope we finish them off in the 90mins as won't be able to stay right to the end of extra time or pens.
Ewell Posted 25 October, 2011 Posted 25 October, 2011 What pub are we using? I have a feeling I have been in a weatherspoons up there before opposite Thornton Heath perhaps? It was in our relegation season and I must say I was a bit mashed that thanks to the Tesco's opposite..
Draino76 Posted 25 October, 2011 Posted 25 October, 2011 So I can turn up an go in teh away end I take it??
