saints_is_the_south Posted 13 November, 2011 Posted 13 November, 2011 After Brizzle, Donny & the Skates our next away game will be Brighton on the 2nd January 2012. A while of yet I know, but with no group save on rail fares in mind for Bristol City, I'm wondering whether this is a new thing that will be implemented for other days when there is football. A group save 4 for 2 to Falmer currently works out £7.50 return each, £15 with no group save. Not quite as big a difference as it makes for Bristol but I'd rather keep the extra £7.50 for beer money if possible! Looking forward to finally having a bigger allocation for this one (2,575 according to the footballgroundguide.com site), and a 1st visit to their new ground. Sounds easier enough to get too even if it is 4 miles from the centre of Brighton itself, Falmer station is right by the stadium. Should be a cracker!

Looking forward to doing the new ground, but not the best time for it, bank holiday monday after new year not ideal for a day out on the beer, we had Dagenham last year on that day and our support was fairly subdued. wonder if they will do a ballot for this one, 2,575 will sell out easily.
This Charming Man Posted 21 November, 2011 Posted 21 November, 2011 I would assume there will be a ballot. Imagine they'll do it as soon as all the Skate tickets are sorted.
svetigpung Posted 21 November, 2011 Posted 21 November, 2011 I am planning on seeing this game while at home for xmas. Was hoping to take the kiddies along as well. Really hope i can get tickets for the game. Had to watch with the home fans last season at the f.....g Withdean. That was fun but real agony. What are the chances for a non-season ticket holder this time round?

What are the chances for a non-season ticket holder this time round? Slim. Though the timing of the game, right after Christmas and NYE may put a few people off on the financial front, so you may get lucky.

JRM Posted 27 November, 2011 Posted 27 November, 2011 Interesting that according to this the match is already sold out (for home fans) so they are clearly well up for this one selling out well over a month in advance, fair play to them for that. http://www.seagulls.co.uk/page/ComingUp/0,,10433~2503431,00.html we also learn from this that tickets will be £24 for away fans, not too bad, our allocation of 2500 will probably sell out to season ticket holders i reckon, should imagine it will be a ballot once they have finished with the skates arrangements (although hope they don't leave it too late with the Christmas post)
svetigpung Posted 28 November, 2011 Posted 28 November, 2011 bugger i was hoping for tickets to that one , if not with the away fans (fat chance) then at least amongst the homies , as we did last year. Now that seams ****ed. as i said , bugger.
saints_is_the_south Posted 6 December, 2011 Author Posted 6 December, 2011 Are there any pubs by Falmer station? According to the footballgroundguide.com site, the only 2 pubs anywhere near to the stadium/Falmer station are both home fans pubs only.
Nexstar Posted 6 December, 2011 Posted 6 December, 2011 I expect the ticket office will wait until half an hour before kick-off to announce there will be a ballot for this one.
oldsarum Posted 7 December, 2011 Posted 7 December, 2011 I expect the ticket office will wait until half an hour before kick-off to announce there will be a ballot for this one. spoke to the ticket office yesterday They are still working on Pompey game, they have to send out getting on for 2,000 emails for a start as well as dealing with numerous phone calls. Brighton tickets going on sale to season ticket holders next week, definately no ballot

Brighton tickets going on sale to season ticket holders next week, definately no ballot They'll be shifted within two days. 2,000 tickets, new ground and most people will be off work.
stevegrant Posted 7 December, 2011 Posted 7 December, 2011 They are still working on Pompey game, they have to send out getting on for 2,000 emails for a start as well as dealing with numerous phone calls. Their own fault for being so ****ing stupid as to wait until the deadline had passed before checking applications for eligibility. It beggars belief how ballot applications that were handed in up to seven weeks ago STILL haven't been processed.

Brighton tickets going on sale to season ticket holders next week, definately no ballot I was told that there was definitely going to be a ballot, but due to time constraints can see why they wouldnt do one now.
Sour Mash Posted 7 December, 2011 Posted 7 December, 2011 Their own fault for being so ****ing stupid as to wait until the deadline had passed before checking applications for eligibility. It beggars belief how ballot applications that were handed in up to seven weeks ago STILL haven't been processed. And can't believe they have to send out 2000 e-mails. Must be an average of 3 or 4 fans per application, maybe 700 e-mails (stll quite a lot). Our ticket office are rubbish these days.
Um Bongo Posted 7 December, 2011 Posted 7 December, 2011 The Brighton tickets will be messed up. They will be over subscribed, and have left themselves very little time to work out who will get priority over who (Number of Away games) Shambles.

Can see no-way they can now fit in any kind of ballot or priority system. Get ready for a scramble some time next week!

JRM Posted 8 December, 2011 Posted 8 December, 2011 does anyone know if you can go down to the ticket office with a list of season ticket numbers but not the actualy season tickets in hand to purchase?
Nexstar Posted 8 December, 2011 Posted 8 December, 2011 does anyone know if you can go down to the ticket office with a list of season ticket numbers but not the actualy season tickets in hand to purchase? I guess it's the same principle as doing it over the phone. I imagine you'll need the first line of their address and postcode though.
Lets B Avenue Posted 8 December, 2011 Posted 8 December, 2011 does anyone know if you can go down to the ticket office with a list of season ticket numbers but not the actualy season tickets in hand to purchase? I do it for every game. Never a problem.
JRM Posted 8 December, 2011 Posted 8 December, 2011 I do it for every game. Never a problem. Cheers nice one, should get these sorted tomorrow, can see them selling out fairly quickly, the draw of a new ground often has that effect.
oldsarum Posted 8 December, 2011 Posted 8 December, 2011 It states in article allocation is over 2,000. Most clubs have been allocted 2,500
100%Red&White Posted 8 December, 2011 Posted 8 December, 2011 tickets on sale to season ticket holders tomorrow http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2541454,00.html Guarantees big queues for Brighton and skate bus tickets. They'll make a packet on car parking charges tomorrow!
JRM Posted 8 December, 2011 Posted 8 December, 2011 It states in article allocation is over 2,000. Most clubs have been allocted 2,500 the teams who have sold out there - Liverpool 2,403 , west ham 2,401 so think we can assume that is the capacity of that stand and we'll have 2400
Sour Mash Posted 8 December, 2011 Posted 8 December, 2011 the teams who have sold out there - Liverpool 2,403 , west ham 2,401 so think we can assume that is the capacity of that stand and we'll have 2400 Didn't realise it was that many. Circa 2,400 is a fair old amount, I reckon these might just make it to general sale, will see.
LGTL Posted 8 December, 2011 Posted 8 December, 2011 Think I'll head over tomorrow morning to get our load, saves ****ing about on Saturday. This will sell out quickly but might make general sale.
oldsarum Posted 8 December, 2011 Posted 8 December, 2011 should have said on earlier post around 2,500, Palace had 2458 there by the way
markr27 Posted 9 December, 2011 Posted 9 December, 2011 The scramble has begun - I finally got through and then the entire system crashed! Thankfully all sorted out quickly after a reboot! The helpful lady I was dealing with suspects it could sell out to STH judging by the amount of calls answered/waiting in the first 30 mins - and that doesn't take into account any peeps waiting down at the Stadium.
markr27 Posted 9 December, 2011 Posted 9 December, 2011 Season Ticket holders may also be able to book online, despite it not be listed as an option on the OS - it is listed as "Buy Tickets" on my account, but not at all on one belonging to a non-Season Ticket holder.
LGTL Posted 9 December, 2011 Posted 9 December, 2011 Quite a big queue at the ticket office, at least a half hour wait or so. Can see this selling out to STH's.
This Charming Man Posted 9 December, 2011 Posted 9 December, 2011 I got mine after waiting on hold for 35mins!
Appy Posted 9 December, 2011 Posted 9 December, 2011 Can see the vast majority of these tickets going today, ticket line very busy.
JRM Posted 9 December, 2011 Posted 9 December, 2011 i know it is always worth taking with a pinch of salt, but when getting tickets at 12.15 today they estimated that we have already sold 1600 in the first 3 hours today, anyone thinkin of going should probably buy sooner rather than later
saints_is_the_south Posted 9 December, 2011 Author Posted 9 December, 2011 Just got mine down at the TO, 200 left.
This Charming Man Posted 9 December, 2011 Posted 9 December, 2011 I'm surprised our ticket office is capable of selling that many tickets in 3 hrs.
Lets B Avenue Posted 9 December, 2011 Posted 9 December, 2011 I'm surprised our ticket office is capable of selling that many tickets in 3 hrs. They didnt have to follow up by sending an e-mail.
ladysaint Posted 9 December, 2011 Posted 9 December, 2011 I am not surprised at all that they sold out today, we all knew it was going to be a popular match, even more so than Pompey.
JRM Posted 9 December, 2011 Posted 9 December, 2011 Just phoned up TO - said they are sold out really? that has to be some kind of record, 2400 tickets in about 6 hours for an away game. very impressive.
ericofarabia Posted 9 December, 2011 Posted 9 December, 2011 really? that has to be some kind of record, 2400 tickets in about 6 hours for an away game. very impressive. Well it is our Cup Final isn't it

Dan Posted 16 December, 2011 Posted 16 December, 2011 Neeed 2 tickets but 1 will do. Contact dan_armstrong@hotmail.co.uk Will pay over face.
Michelle Posted 16 December, 2011 Posted 16 December, 2011 If anyone needs a train ticket - we've booked two lots of GroupSave four for our party of 7, therefore have one spare. Cost is £7.50.
alehouseboys Posted 23 December, 2011 Posted 23 December, 2011 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2555850,00.html We've today been given a limited number of additional tickets...where they've suddenly found these extra seats from is a mystery. On sale from 9am on 29th Dec, collection only...so be quick.
