ludgershallsaint Posted 21 February, 2012 Share Posted 21 February, 2012 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFSFC Posted 21 February, 2012 Share Posted 21 February, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 21 February, 2012 Share Posted 21 February, 2012 Good, it'll mean loyal fans get rewarded and less JCLS turning up in case their is a chance of promotion against Coventry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jampot Posted 21 February, 2012 Share Posted 21 February, 2012 This is a mess I bought bought Doncaster and Barnsley tickets from the mega store on Sat.

Sour Mash Posted 21 February, 2012 Share Posted 21 February, 2012 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?

Lord Duckhunter Posted 22 February, 2012 Share Posted 22 February, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

under the west stand Posted 22 February, 2012 Share Posted 22 February, 2012 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shambert Posted 22 February, 2012 Share Posted 22 February, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
under the west stand Posted 22 February, 2012 Share Posted 22 February, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt have them put against my customer number. Can I ring them and get them alocated so it is recorded on their database? 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.

SaintBobby Posted 23 February, 2012 Share Posted 23 February, 2012 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.

As can be seen on this forum there are a loyal fans from all areas of the country, and further afield. 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.

sandwichsaint Posted 24 February, 2012 Share Posted 24 February, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aintforever Posted 25 February, 2012 Share Posted 25 February, 2012 I wouldn't worry about getting priority, Coventry will probably sell out but it won't be hard to get tickets the week before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint-Fred Posted 25 February, 2012 Share Posted 25 February, 2012 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissyboy31 Posted 29 February, 2012 Share Posted 29 February, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch01 Posted 29 February, 2012 Share Posted 29 February, 2012 Got mine today for Barnsley and Cov. Hopefully I'll be able to get to Pompey and Donny too, as well as Millwall away.
