Didn't see this posted elsewhere. Buy tickets to Barnsley and Ipswich and you get priority to Coventry. Taking this **** tbh

[ludgershallsaint]

They've tied it up very nicely (for them!). If you want to watch the Pompey game and be there on the last day you'll have to buy for 5 of the last 6 matches....

Looks like that 'Final 10' promotion died on its @rse (I blame Guly). Don't think too many are going to rush for this deal immediately either, but we'll see.

No you won't 'have' to. You'll only 'have' to if you want first pick of the tickets.

[ludgershallsaint]

No you won't 'have' to. You'll only 'have' to if you want first pick of the tickets.

 

If you want to be certain then. Pedant.

[CFSFC]

This sucks. Wanted to do Coventry but can't afford to do loads of games. Nightmare. It is rewarding those who can afford more games rather than those who want to be there most IMO. But I would say that wouldn't I.

 

Which means your less deserving than those that can/do want to do all of them.

[Turkish]

Good, it'll mean loyal fans get rewarded and less JCLS turning up in case their is a chance of promotion against Coventry.

This is a mess I bought bought Doncaster and Barnsley tickets from the mega store on Sat. Didnt have them put against my customer number. Can I ring them and get them alocated so it is recorded on their database?

[Sour Mash]

I want to do them all, but if you know you can only do a couple, you tend to pick carefully, and I love end of season games. Hopefully will be plenty on general sale anyway.

If you're on the ball, you'll still get a ticket for the Cov game, surely you'd agree though, that fans that do the less glamorous games get first pick.of seats?

Should've paid more attention at school and got yourself a job that pays more...

[Lord Duckhunter]

This is a great idea, should use it more often in my opinion.

 

Was going to go to Barnsley, but struggle to make midweek games so may not make Ipswich. Will defo do this even if I cant make Ipswich,£27 is worth paying to make the last game of the season. I'm not going to miss out on a potential celebration of promotion, just the the sake of £27

Education is not necessarily positively correlated with earnings. HTH.

[70's Mike]

Means I might get the same person sat next to me for 2 games, although after the first one they will propably ask to move.

[under the west stand]

Means that those of us who cannot get back home after an evening ko have to miss out, or fork out an extra £27 to see two out of the three matches - hmmmmmm!

[Shambert]

Good idea by the club. We don't want fans who just want to be at the 'big' games. We want the loyal fans who want to watch it when they are playing the not so good teams.

[under the west stand]

There are a lot of 'loyal' fans who get to every game they can. When travelling becomes an issue it is sometimes easier to get to an away game. Just because I cannot get to see every game at SMS does not mean that I'm not loyal. As can be seen on this forum there are a loyal fans from all areas of the country, and further afield.

If you take the tickets in with you I don't see what the problem will be.

Why didn't you get them put against your number, out of interest? They always ask for it when booking tickets so I don't see how anyone could forget.

[jampot]

Nothing mentioned when I purchased. However, I rang the club this am and they have added them to my purchase history....

[SaintBobby]

Seems a fair plan to me, overall.

 

I'm a STH, so unaffected (other than when I want to secure extra seats next to our block of three).

 

But, yep, overall I'd say this is a good system, even if it doesn't suit everyone.

[wild-saint]

but intelligence generally is lol

[Dangerous Albert]

Notice it's Ipswich OR Barnsley you need to get a Cov ticket...

[Saint_clark]

Notice it's Ipswich OR Barnsley you need to get a Cov ticket...

 

I thought it was very clear that you need to purchase both.

[This Charming Man]

Suppose you're right...

 

[Dangerous Albert]

Well so did I until I just rang up the ticket line...

I'm not sure I agree with you I'm afaid.

 

If I moved away from this area beacuse of work or to be nearer family etc, then I wouldn't attend as many home games and would have to give up my ST. That would be my personal choice to do that and as a result I wouldn't consdier myself as loyal a fan as someone who went to every game.

I would still consider myself to be a Saints fan, always will, but the mere fact that I moved away would make me less loyal straight away.

 

Depends how you define loyalty I suppose.

What a stupid, pointless post on so many levels.

[Lord Duckhunter]

Just booked mine. Can confirm it is defo Barnsley OR Ipswich. They were really busy, so I'd get a move on if people want to be sure of making the promotion party.............

Didn't come across like that in the original article, which seemed to suggest that it was both.

To be honest, it was defo both on the article. Maybe the bloke I spoke to messed it up (although somebody posted the same earlier in the thread). It's just come up on my history online with a booking ref, so 100% I only got Barnsley.

[sandwichsaint]

What day do the tickets for the brewery tour go on sale?

Why?

I can confirm it is Ipswich OR Barnsley. I just booked 1 ticket for Ipswich and 2 for Barnsley, I was then told I could book 2 for Coventry which is what I did. It may end up being a spare as my mate can't make the Coventry game.

Me too. Just bokked 3 for Barnsley and 3 for Coventry. Someone has it wrong somewhere

[Lallana's Left Peg]

Yep - I booked for Barnsley and could also book for Coventry. No need for Ipswich tickets.

[Swansea_Saint]

Friend just got barnsley and coventry from the ticket office!!

[jamesb]

so just one game needed? sweet!

[This Charming Man]

Has anyone else booked their tickets? Keep it coming, I need to know.

[Ivan Katalinic's 'tache]

As requested, I've just bought my Covvy tickets and I've only got Barnsley tickets (can't make midweek games so Ipswich was never viable for me). Very useful thread this one!!

[Golden Balls]

Cov tickets will still make general sale. You just need to make sure you're quick off the mark when they do.

[Dr Who?]

Think I maybe going to Barnsley and Ipswich, well at least buying the tickets.

[sandwichsaint]

I'm struggling to keep up with all this.

 

I'm buying 4 Ipswich tkts on Monday, can I order 4 Cov at the same time?

 

I really fancy the Pompey game: on the same day next week I will buy 4 Donny tkts (which I don't particularly want) and then I can phone in on Sunday x March and I will be able to buy Pompey tkts?

 

Why has something so apparently simple been made so devilishly complicated?

 

(Can anybody else see a situation where more Donny+Barnesly tkts are sold than P. tkts are available?).

 

PLAN B: Opens window now - if you buy a Donc or a Barn tkt this week you can buy a Pomp tkt with it. Anything left goes to ST + one. Anything left beyond this goes to general database sale.

 

Wouldn't that be better/fairer?

[Golactico]

I Bought 2 x Ipswich and 2 X Cov tickets today with no problem. No suggestion whatsoever that I needed to buy Barnsley too.

[jamesb]

Got 4 for Barnsley and Coventry yesterday. no problems at all.

 

I think the article isn't written that well. May mate and I both thought you had to buy both games in order to get Coventry tickets.

 

I was going to Barnsley anyway so happy days!

[aintforever]

I wouldn't worry about getting priority, Coventry will probably sell out but it won't be hard to get tickets the week before.

[Saint-Fred]

Crikey it's not that hard really is it?

 

You can buy a Coventry ticket now if you buy it with (or already have ) an Ipswich or Barnsley ticket. If not you must wait till general sale.

 

You can buy a Pompey ticket from 11th March if you have purchsed (or do at the same time) a Doncastor ticket. Otherwise you have to wait until general sale.

 

So either buy the other ticket for the appropriate game or wait until general sale. The club at no time said that on March 24th when we play Doncastor they won't sell any more pompey tickets if it hasn't sold out!

[Mabes]

What a stupid, pointless post on so many levels.

 

As a saints fan who also dont live in Southampton can i also ask why ??

 

Does not living in Southampton or going to every game make me less of a fan than you ??

[krissyboy31]

Got mine today: Barnsley and Coventry Kingsland North. Apparently Barnsley selling very well. Blocks 34 and 35 have only got pairs of seats at the front or near the back.

[mitch01]

Got mine today for Barnsley and Cov. Hopefully I'll be able to get to Pompey and Donny too, as well as Millwall away. Real pain travelling from Nottingham but I can't miss this run-in, I've been waiting for something like this for years!
