stevegrant Posted 15 December, 2011 Share Posted 15 December, 2011 Felt this needed its own thread... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/TicketNews/0,,10280~2547734,00.html The ticket office has confirmed that they will be open from 9am on Sunday for collections ahead of the game. All ticket collections will be available at each pick up point (St. Mary's, Bursledon and Winchester) so there will be no requirement to make an additional journey to the stadium if you are due to leave from Winchester or Bursledon. Confirmation emails have been sent out to the addresses supplied, but we are aware that some have bounced back. If you are awaiting confirmation of your tickets, then the box office are happy to take enquiries on 0845 688 9288. Please note that travel tickets for supporters that have applied in both ballots unfortunately will not be sat together. We'd also like to remind supporters of the following pick up points: At St. Mary's: 2 coaches in addition to double decker buses numbered 1-15 will be on Britannia Road outside the stadium, whilst buses 16-32 will be situated in the North Car Park. Coaches are numbered 1-4 at Winchester (departing from the King Alfred statue opposite the Guild Hall at 10:50am). Coaches are numbered 1-5 at Bursledon (next to the car boot site entry via Bursledon Road - the old home supporter park and ride site SO31 8EY departing at 11.25am) Please arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time. If you miss your coach departure time, you will not be admitted to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingwing Posted 15 December, 2011 Share Posted 15 December, 2011 Cheers! The ticket office mentioned this last saturday but an official announcement has calmed the nerves a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 15 December, 2011 Share Posted 15 December, 2011 why didn't they mention this earlier or indeed included it in the email sent out Saturday night? It would have saved me a journey. The ticket office are clearly reacting to angry fans saying they could not collect the tickets during the week - fair play to them for that - but it just demonstrates what a pigs ear they have made of this whole allocation process.

100%Red&White Posted 15 December, 2011 Share Posted 15 December, 2011 So that's 41 double-deckers (usually around 70 capacity) plus 2 coaches, so if these are all full it should be around 3,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It think it's 11 coaches (2 from SMS, 4 from Winch, 5 from Bursledon) and 30 double decker coaches. From what it says above, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFKA South Woodford Posted 15 December, 2011 Share Posted 15 December, 2011 According to the ticket office when I spoke to them earlier today, they will only be open for collections for an hour on Sunday morning as everyone has to be on their coach/bus in time for the departure of the first convoy at 10:30.

Saint_clark Posted 15 December, 2011 Share Posted 15 December, 2011 Ah right ok, my mate has the ticket so thats why I dont know. Cheers. It says to arrive at least half an hour before departure time, so get there for 10.30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what it says above, anyway. I think you're right. That will be 2,800, also ties in with the 400 unsold tickets mentioned on here from the 3,200 stated on the skate OS. If there really have been "hundreds" of applications discarded then you can see why people are p*ssed off. If you're one of those that put in an application but didn't hear anything, and so accepted you were just unsuccessful, it may be worth contacting the ticket office as they've now owned up to making mistakes. We put in for the first ballot as ST holders with plenty of aways but never got the email. After being continually knocked back when enquiring they finally looked into it and they had made a mistake with payment details and rejected our application. If we hadn't persisted we'd have just ended up on the discarded pile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches generally seat 54, 11 x 54 = 594 and there's 32 double-deckers leaving SMS (+ 2 coaches), 32 x 70 = 2,240 Total = 2834 (tbf you could probably knock a few off for stewards) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docker-p Posted 15 December, 2011 Share Posted 15 December, 2011 Personally I didn't apply for tickets as I don't fancy the OB's bubble method. But I know a few people who did apply and have not got tickets, so i presume it's sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan The Flames Posted 15 December, 2011 Share Posted 15 December, 2011 The more I read about this bubble the more ridiculous I think it is, all to stop a few fence rattlers and a few fights between people who want a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100%Red&White Posted 16 December, 2011 Share Posted 16 December, 2011 So taking a days holiday yesterday to collect my ticket was a f**king waste of time !!!!!! Maybe not, after all the calamity of the past few weeks over these tickets who knows what it's going to be like Sunday morning? Hopefully most will go down today and tomorrow but if everyone leaves it to Sunday it could get messy. They're saying you need to pick up between 9-10am but if big queues were to build up they'd have to keep going (as it's due to their cock-ups) to make sure the buses leave on time. I spoke to someone this morning who made a good point, if you're looking to park or get dropped off at the stadium then you're probably best coming from Itchen Bridge end as Britannia Road is likely to be closed with many of the buses parked there. If so they'll be no entry from Northam Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I reckon that all we were actually given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadhall Saint Posted 17 December, 2011 Share Posted 17 December, 2011 Spoke to a bloke I know at work who happens to be a PFC steward. He said that when you get to that hole down the road you'll be taken 2 coaches at a time to gain entrance to the ground ( I use the term in the loosest sense of the word) - seems as if your on the last few then ko could be missed.

Just passing on the info.the whole area immediately to the East of the ground will be cordoned off so all the coaches will be able to park down Rodney road and Anson Road, a short walk to the Milton end. There won't be a need for 2 coaches at a time nor would it make sense as the other 30 odd coaches would have sit outside the sterile area. Having said all that I fear some may miss the kick off.
