Toomer Posted 28 November, 2011 Share Posted 28 November, 2011 (edited) For those getting the bubble bus at Bursledon, does it say where? Just curious, seeing as the away fans Park and ride compound is the site of a huge car boot sale every Sunday Bloody good point A, yet another possible c o c k up on the cards people will be going in for the park & ride just as the boot sale site starts to empty.

COMEONYOUREDS Posted 28 November, 2011 Share Posted 28 November, 2011 Does it state what time you have to "check in" for departure? 12.15 from Winchester is really cutting it fine even though police outriders and logistical measures should mean a clear run. No nothing.. Just an invoice online. Maybe the email will shed more light. I've emailed the ticket office about it, no reply..

COMEONYOUREDS Posted 28 November, 2011 Share Posted 28 November, 2011 Dear COMEONYOUREDS, The time on the ticket is a template for us down at the ticket office. You will receive a confirmation email within the next few days explaining all the details of the day. Regards Charlotte Lewis Ticket Office Assistant Southampton FOOTBALL CLUB Tel: 023 8071 1912 saintsfc.co.uk Southampton Football Club Limited, St Mary’s Stadium, Britannia Road, Southampton, SO14 5FP In other words... the bus aint leaving at 12.15, either they changed their mind/realised the error of their ways or thought the game was still at 3..

terrypward Posted 28 November, 2011 Share Posted 28 November, 2011 My orders never show up in my history online, it only ever shows tickets bought on the online system and not ones purchased with my ST number via phone/ticket office. I called them to ask if they could tell from my record if they had received my form from the 1st ballot - as I have had no debit from my bank card and they didn't want to help... I pointed out that I have no way of telling whether they received my letter (which I agree, my fault for not sending recorded) and I did explain that I was only asking as tomorrow is the deadline for a new form if Royal Mail screwed me... Gave me an answer of "they haven't started processing them yet - just a massive pile of papers at the mo". Was well and truly fobbed off I think, seeing as some have had receipts and payments taken... But hey ho - If I'm ok, I'm ok... If not, a pub will suffice :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted 28 November, 2011 Share Posted 28 November, 2011 Still nothing on my purchase history, no email, and no money taken from my bank account, although I can't tell if that amount of money has been made 'unavailable' to me. Shocking lack of communication considering how long ago the ballot ended. They know that everyone who applied has got a ticket, surely a bit of an insight as to what the f*ck is actually going on, is not that hard to provide??

bungle Posted 28 November, 2011 Share Posted 28 November, 2011 I have tickets on my purchase history. I am assuming that the bus time is just a catch-all time for system purposes, and that the e-mail (which will presumably be sent to everyone at the same time, so after the 2nd ballot) will give the more detailed information. I'd expect that the departures will likely be stagged between 10 and 12, but that is little more than a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat Posted 28 November, 2011 Share Posted 28 November, 2011 Bursledon is the nearest pick up point for me but I'm getting the bus from St Mary's for precisely the reasons mentioned above. I can't see anything other traffic chaos at Windhover that day. There is a chance the boot fair wouldn't be on though. Presumably the owners of the field will get paid by the club for using it, and really...who needs to go to a boot fair the weekend before Xmas? Tesco's will be rammed though. Likely to be 18 lorries parked up on the road waiting to unload and blocking the traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By "anyone", I assume you actually mean "anyone who doesn't already have a ticket", given that everyone who actually has one at this stage would have applied weeks ago, long before the logistics of the Bursledon pick up were considered? I'm on coach 9 btw, how apt. Surprised there haven't been more people on here sharing that kind of dull info. Also, the default guff now says 11am not 12:15 which is far more sensible if equally as unconfirmed and based on not yet having had an email.

Saint_Jimmy Posted 29 November, 2011 Share Posted 29 November, 2011 I would expect everyone to have emails by Thurs 1st as thats the deadline they were working on from the outset. "If you do not receive an email by Thursday 1st December you have been unsuccessful in your application." Obviously there has been a change from the initial ballot as we know there are more tickets available, that information they couldnt hold back if they wanted to sell more. But it doesnt mean the person who's job it is to enter in all the data, allocate tickets, send emails etc is going to do it any quicker. I know I wouldnt if I have other jobs that need doing with a closer deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
de-fence Posted 29 November, 2011 Share Posted 29 November, 2011 Nothing to do with the ballot but standing at Cosham station waiting for a train to southampton, 2 lads on the opposite platform waiting for a train to portsmouth. They wait for their train to come in before giving w@nker signs and lobbing boiled sweets over the train at me. Such a pathetic class of people who live in that revolting town.

Bunch o' mongs, about five 20 to 25 year old lads in the concourse, started quietly making snidey comments whilst we were getting a drink for the rest of the journey, then one of them "accidentally" blocked a doorway and pretended not to see my wife trying to walk through it, before doing w@nker signs as they were getting on their train with us still on the platform. How very grown up of them. Having said that, we'd already hung a Saints scarf on the Fratton sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt that it's the whole "bubble" thing that's made selling out difficult. Who'd want to do that,you just can't impose that sort of thing on people. You can offer the service but to make it mandatory is just asking for the "f*ck right off" reply.Plus it's too expensive. 4 people going to Skatesville in a car cost what a fiver in all?

But as has been pointed out above, the ballot hasn't been open to all those on the database and who is to say should tickets stioll be available the ballot will not be extended to those who have done fewer than 4 away games. It's also the case that season ticket holders did not mop up all available tickets on the two most recent occasions we've played there. If all of the above happens and we still don't sell out then put it down to the bubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we didn't care about Bournemouth? all the media coverage about the violence before and after the derby games puts the average family fan off IMO, simply as that. We'll sell out, though this delay in gettin confirmation isn't exactly helpful as those that applied by post have no idea if their applications ever arrived and can't apply again should they need.
