S-Clarke Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 I reckon ours will be between 600-800. Just a hunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintmatt Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 We have more demand/seat than them, despite our higher capacity - I reckon about £750 for an adult season ticket for us. I also predict this thread'll reach 10 pages, minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints_is_the_south Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 Think renewals behind the goal or wings will be £550-£600 and new buy £650-£700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofarnorth Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 Just for comparison what were prices this year? Those estimates seem quite a lot with £600 being over £30 a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Mash Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 Don't think it'll be as high as some on here are suggesting, only 19 home games next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COMEONYOUREDS Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 I hope its not 700 quid. it was 350 the season before this, so that would be a 100% increase in 2 seasons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great price for kids!!! Let's see where we come in. £525 is a fair price but most Reading fans (if they had any sense) renewed a few weeks back when they offered their 'Early Bird' deal which was just £350 for adults. I think this was also offered for first time buyers too at the time. This maybe the "affluent south" but Southampton is a bit more working class than many southern regions and has a lot of people on below national average salaries so let's hope not too many are priced out.

From the Play Off defeat until Swindon away in 2009, and then September 2010. Agreed regarding loyalty discount being a cheaper renewal price.

Turkish Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 If I remember rightly when we moved to SMS season tickets were about £500 so if they are less than £600 11 years on it isn't too bad a deal.

Saying that, with the reduction in games there's going to be a significant "price per game" increase whatever happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djharvey Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 I will be happy with anything under £600 for renewal, anything over £650 will be tough to swallow, anything over £700 i think would be a big mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordswoodsaints Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 For those of you who think you're going to get a discount just because you bought a season ticket when we were in an inferior league are living in cloud cuckoo land,so ****ing what?,you bought a season ticket big clap for you. I like many others have been going for 40 years,I followed them all around the country/Europe and I've had a season ticket on and off for years,I've spent hundreds in the shop and been to some crap midweek games miles from home on wet evenings having taken time off of work to go,I bought a season ticket when we got relegated from the prem and I expect nothing from the club apart from to be entertained. If you think you deserve something just because you bought a season ticket (your choice) in the championship or L1 then dream on......you are just a customer nothing more nothing less.

I'm there to watch Saints and have been for the last 7 years. They already do pay a premium for it. Renewal season tickets cost less than standard first-time buys. You're assuming everyone who wants an ST this season is a JCL, which is ridiculous. There are loads that aren't. Myself for instance; for each of the past 3 seasons I've lived abroad for more than 6 months each season, so there was no point in renewing the ST. This year, not the case, so it'll be season ticket time. And I'll pay a premium for it, rightly so. Nice to see that there are some that hope that cost will be through the roof though, cheers for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknrollman no2 Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 Ive had a ST since the time we were first in the Prem and ive continued to have one throughout the bad times and all of the long way back to the Premiership.That is the choice i made.All i want is for STs to be reasonablily priced so we see a full stadium every week. Everyones circumstances are different and although i bet everyone would like to be able to afford a ST,this is not always possible.This is why i hate those ****s who wave their STs at other fans,as if this makes them out to be better.I think between £550-650 would be a right price. I think a better idea is to give a heavily discounted price of a pint to those of us who have been through the bad times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djharvey Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 There is meant to be a proper direct debit system these season as well.

BlakeySFC Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 (edited) Do people think that there's a good chance of getting a Season Ticket when they come out? I was a Sseason Ticket Holder in the 06/07 and 07/08 seasons but gave it up for just regular tickets because of University. Now I've finished Uni and we're in the PL in gagging to get a season ticket this season, but think I probably won't be able to get one when they come out? Thoughts anyone, does this sound about right, or should I get one fine? Edited 4 May, 2012 by BlakeySFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View From The Top Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 I'll decide on whether to renew once the pricing comes out as my nippers has been free for the last 3 years and under the U11 rule would be this year as well. If mine goes up by silly money and his is no longer cheap then they may have to go. That said, a decent DD scheme and I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlakeySFC Posted 4 May, 2012 Share Posted 4 May, 2012 Glory hunter. Been waiting 7 years for us to get promoted. Not going to squander the opportunity to see the team I love pit themselves against the best-of-the-best in the Premier League. As said above, I was also a season ticket holder in 06/07 and 07/08 and went to almost every game in 06/07. Unfortunately haven't been able to have one since then because of University, but have attended roughly half home games and half away games since...that's during the FLC relegation season and our 1st/2nd seasons in League 1. Hardly a glory hunter I think. Love this club, and so proud they are back in the Premier League, my aim is to go to every match home and away next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
