I'll be really ****ed if i miss this one, reckon i'll have notched up between 14-16 aways this season by the end of it but i'm waiting on being paid. The club should definitely have done this as season ticket/most aways first to thank those of us that have put in the miles this season. The combination of an easy away and the sniff of success may see some miss out though which is a real mistake in my opinion

 

Wasn't this fixture announced about 8 months ago? You should have had plenty of time to save up for a ticket.

Don't start that old chestnut again, I'd usually be the one claiming we should have an instalment plan for it. ;)

well the woman in the ticket office told me its 1 per ST but the online system obviously doesn't know that, just got 5!
Its why they don't normally put restricted sale tickets available on-line, as the system is useless and has little control over what people actually buy.

I just bought 5 over the phone. Had season ticket numbers for all of them, but she didn't seem bothered once I'd given mine and name/address etc, went through and got them "added" to the season ticket numbers anyway, for the unlikely even that they could come in use at some point. So thinking about it, it does seem like season ticket holders can buy as many as they want - which is ridiculous.

Just been down and got 16. They only wanted my season ticket number, despite me having all the numbers, as they normally require them.
Does seem to be season ticket holders can buy as many as they want. Will feel for some of those that go regularly away if they end up missing out on this one. Shouldn't be a problem though fingers crossed.

To be fair, they could of limited it to 2 per st max. or something, wouldn't be hard

 

I also have the customer numbers for all 5 tickets by the way, but our accounts aren't linked online

will be gutted if me and my son dont get tickets for this,only up the road.away fans should be catered for more by sfc.especially those who were at hull on tuesday.still got boro and posh to look forward to

 

Assume you're not a season ticket holder. Just ring up and try your luck now. They're pretty thick.

I've told Griffo to try for you two. Drop him a line.

 

On a slightly separate note, anyone buying a student ticket, I was told they are collection only, at either St Marys or Selhurst, with production of a valid NUS card required, bit annoying to say the least.

Wasn't a dig at anyone buying the tickets, but it is unfair if season ticket holders are buying up 10 each (which I've heard of) for mates to all do a p**s up jolly boys outing to London, when you've got regular away fans that don't have season tickets missing out. Guess our ticket office might have assumed that our allocation was so big anyone that wants a ticket would get one anyway. At this rate, I'm not so sure.

He should have a season ticket number to use to call up with, seems for a lot of people as long as you have one season ticket number to use, you can buy as many tickets as you want with it. Hit and miss as always with our ticket office though.

Guy I spoke to asked for quite a few details about each customer number I gave. Seems like online is the best way for non STH if you have one STH's number. Fancy these to sell out before general sale.

If these tickets are selling as fast as being said then I can possibly see Palace releasing more. At the mo they've moved out their eason ticket holders to give us the entire stand but have left 2 blocks of seats at either end of the Saints fans. I can see them wanting segregation at the (I think) Holmesdale End where their 'Ultras' gather in the corner but I can't see how they'd need it the other end. Hopefully, if need be, they'll give us another section of seats at both ends which would still leave a sterile area, probably an extra 1,000 tickets. Guess the Met may have the final say.

I will also be peed off if they don't go to general sale having done 11 aways already. Trust the ticket office to change things - at least last year when they were avaialable to STH only you could still buy on line without being a STH. If any STH aren't going would appreciate if I could use your number?

Hope these do make general sale. Done 7 away games this season so I would be gutted if I missed out. Anyone know how likely we are to get the full allocation? I have had a quick look for trains and due to the bank holiday I can’t find any on the train line or SW trains. Anyone had this issue/ knows how to get round it? Cheers

We sold out for that did we not and were given some extra for the bottom tier. I'd call pretty keen.
For what its worth we didn't sell out. I understand there are lots of reasons why some games are more popular than others, but we do have some extreme differences in demand at times, bit odd.

I don't think it's any more "odd" than for any other family club passing on a day out at Millwall. Our support has been immense since relegation and sooner than run it down we should be proud of it.

Our away support has been excellent since relegation from the Prem. Doesn't mean we can't comment on any deviations from that.
