trousers Posted 3 April, 2012 Share Posted 3 April, 2012 Closed the tab on my PC so lost it but the article is still on the mobile site, and says... Fingers crossed that's the reason it's been deleted, and the article will go back up shortly without that bit in it. If this turns out to be the case I'm screwed as I'm up in London until Saturday, standard Ticket Office shambles! I can probably get down there on Friday as it's a bank holiday and I'm off work but it's a 100 mile round trip! But that's not the point....I phoned up and they said they were available for collection on the day. They will be getting an invoice for the petrol if they've cocked up in their prior communication.

pap Posted 3 April, 2012 Share Posted 3 April, 2012 Right. Just been on the phone with the ticket office and they confirmed that they will be open from 9am on Saturday to 'just before the game'.

SNOWY Posted 3 April, 2012 Share Posted 3 April, 2012 Very decent seats they are, close to half way line, one of the best views in the ground. I think those seats are normally club comp' seats. I'd imagine they have moved the players guests etc into the spare corporate seats & released those for sale. (As they did for Doncaster) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sotonjoe Posted 3 April, 2012 Share Posted 3 April, 2012 I personally prefer sitting (well standing) about half way back but moved for the Preston game and I thought it was decent. Still, it's better than nothing which is the other option. halfway back is definitely 'perfect' i agree. I'd rather go backwards than forwards though from there though My season ticket is in ff which is a shade too far back imo but it's right on the halfway line which makes up for it!

This Charming Man Posted 4 April, 2012 Share Posted 4 April, 2012 Still tickets left according to the online ticket sales site. It did say sold out earlier.

Sour Mash Posted 4 April, 2012 Share Posted 4 April, 2012 Basically, this, along with the Palace game, show that it is worth calling the club once a day if you have missed out on tickets for a big game, as a few extra seem to pop up every couple of days.

Saintandy666 Posted 4 April, 2012 Share Posted 4 April, 2012 Don't really understand why you shouldn't be able to collect tickets on the day. What about people who live far away? Are they expected to make two trips? Letting people collect on the day is hardly going to let non-database people in either! Silly idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFT is going on ????????????? I'm screwed if theý don't issue tickets on the day LIKE THEY SAID THEY WOULD They have certainly dished out mixed information on this. That article you quote is from 27th FEBRUARY! If they think a sentence tucked away in article from over a month ago somehow usurps the verbal information to the contrary that the Ticket Office have been giving people when purchasing tickets recently then they are at best fools and at worst breaking consumer law. If there are collection restrictions on something they are selling then those restrictions need to be highlighted AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. They weren't. All that said, I'm half tempted to ignore the verbal information I and others have received over the phone and pick the darn things up on Friday anyway....which would mean two 100 mile round trips within the space of 24 hours. Will see if the offical Saints twitter account and/or Sibley are saying anything about it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 4 April, 2012 Share Posted 4 April, 2012 And this article, published a day later on 28th FEBRUARY mentions nothing about collection restrictions: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2618424,00.html Portsmouth Home - Ticket Details Confirmed Posted on: Tue 28 Feb 2012 Supporters who purchase tickets for Saints' home match with Doncaster Rovers on Saturday 24th March will gain priority for the Portsmouth fixture. This is a fantastic opportunity for supporters to take their place at two of the final four home Championship games as the exciting finale to the campaign intensifies. December's 1-1 draw at Portsmouth denied Saints the early bragging rights, but a return to home soil on Saturday 7th April at 1pm kicks off a dramatic last month of the season for Nigel Adkins' men. • From 10am on Sunday 4th March 2011/12 Season Ticket Holders will be able to purchase one additional ticket for Portsmouth when buying for Doncaster. We can also confirm that tickets for any Disabled Customers registered on the database will also be available from this time. • From 10am on Sunday 11th March, remaining tickets for the Portsmouth game will be available to supporters on our database only when purchasing for Doncaster. Due to the nature of this fixture, please note that season ticket moves will NOT be available for this game. Tickets purchased for both matches will be non transferable. No duplicates / reprints on Season Ticket or Match tickets will be issued. Tickets can be purchased via the ticket office and the telephone booking line (0800 2800 050) only. Tickets will NOT be available to purchase online or from our WestQuay store for the Portsmouth fixture. And that last sentence turned out to be incorrect....

trousers Posted 4 April, 2012 Share Posted 4 April, 2012 Actually, thinking about it, I wouldn't be surprised if they are "under orders" not to announce (aka Shout from the rooftops) that the TO is open for collections on Saturday morning as they probably want as many people as possible to get it out of the way before then, to avoid too many people defering until the Saturday. Would perhaps explain why they have ignored my written requests for info (Email, tweets). Either that or they don't like me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1576 Posted 4 April, 2012 Share Posted 4 April, 2012 Just collected ticket for Saturday (thought I was working up until Monday, result for me). Now it is in the family centre, are you able to walk freely into the kingsland from there or is it blocked off? I have a mate who will have a spare seat as his boy is not going so would be handy to walk up to where he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
