Palace v Saints tickets on sale today on their site. No chance of this going to General Sale.

 

 

Leeds and West ham both had 4000 tickets for Palace so hopefully Saints will get the same allocation

Posted

That's going to be a big weekend. Skates on the saturday then Palace away Monday. Tuesday off work I reckon

Posted

This will be a similar away day to Leyton Orient last season, lets just hope we do get a good allocation. No excuses for not turning up for this one.

its not that much faster usually at the weekend.. no excuse!
Normally an hour and 5 minutes to Clapham, enough extra travelling time to be annoying, not enough for it to really be off putting though.

half an hour extra on a train = bring another couple of beers

Agreed on the Skates game front, I'll be coming via London and was hoping to get into town early doors so this means a ridiculously early start now.

Embrace it as a completely valid excuse to start drinking at 8am.

 

I almost felt compelled to explain to the person who served me a box of beers at 8.10 on Saturday morning, that I was going to London for a football match and that she shouldn't f*cking look at me like I'm some sort of scumbag alcoholic.

There is a dirty little off licence / newsagents outside Waterloo that I've frequented over the years before 8am, the bloke always looks at me strangely when I buy a few cans.

may be worth checking about travelling via reading, could save you some time.. think i'll probably end up coming down on the friday and staying over now

Cheap train tickets available on a 4 for 2 basis works out from Southampton to Thornton Heath under a tenner each.

 

How are you getting that Jan? Only options coming up for me are go Mon, return Tuesday! =/

You can't buy GroupSave tickets online, if you want to buy in advance (no real advantage of doing so), you'd have to do so at a station ticket office.

 

Also, the online booking systems don't appear to recognise that the 9th is a bank holiday, so the fares are ****ing ridiculous :facepalm:

these groupsave deals seem to disappear from the net once saints away games are on i've noticed, worth popping down the station and buying them at the window in advance.

used to be able to mate, is that the case now and it is window only? doesn't seem fair to do that.

Phoned SWT up earlier £30 group savers, £7.50 each. However Hedge end to thornton heath, takes 4 hours and you need to go via fratton!

Posted

Got group save from Soton to East Croydon and then East Croydon to Thornton Heath via Barnham for less than £10 each which is a good deal, more money to spend in the pub. We went to the station and got our tickets but it did also give me the option on Wednesday night of booking these online.

i wouldn't recomment going on the southern service to East Croydon, it goes right along the coast then up from Hove i think, passing by Havant (skates home to Millwall that day)

Worth bearing in mind that the "via Barnham" route takes almost twice as long as going via Clapham Junction and there's only one an hour (if you're lucky)

Ha ha 4 hours to Palace, good luck with that. Save you a few quid though, drink a load of cans rather than spend it down the pub.

Its not 4 hours we leave at 9.13 arriving at 11.33 plus there are delays on the Southampton/Clapham route of 40 minutes.

The one Dan's talking about is from Hedge End - the Southern trains don't stop there.

To be fair, you're right, that's just as quick as going ip via Clapham, decent deal there.

Anyone have any idea of how many tickets have been sold already?

More to the point, will there be any left for GS on Wednesday? It is quite a large allocation.

Gonna be a close call I'd say. We're now getting extra tickets in batches of around 1,000, which appear to be selling quickly as soon as we get them. Another 900 went on sale yesterday so that's 5,000 we've already had. Palace will give us another final 800 of the 5,800 probably tomorrow and then, if you're still waiting, it's just a case of fingers crossed to see if they release the extra 'sterile' areas which could get us up around 7,000.
