SW11_Saint Posted 8 July, 2012 Posted 8 July, 2012 Any idea how many we've sold thus far? A Brighton supporting mate of mine tells me they've sold 22k, which is pretty impressive (they've upped the capacity of the Amex this year). What is our limit on S/T sales c25k?
Mouldy Coat Posted 8 July, 2012 Posted 8 July, 2012 My guess is 17000 so far, we will sell 20422, not as many as fa cup final year due to cost increases, economy and people falling out of love with the game during rupert years ;-) .... I might be wrong of course
oldsarum Posted 8 July, 2012 Posted 8 July, 2012 Abit bored this morning so checked latest figures on line Out of 28,088 tickets on system 20,646 sold, and 7,442 still available Tickets still available are as follows Itchen - 1438 Chapel - 3080 Family Area - 857 Kingsland - 1781 (mainly in Wings) Northam - 286 I think this figures a bit distorted however as it includes prees box + alll corporate area excluding boxes being sold out and also Block 3 where many think club are giving out complimentary tickets. Even so with 3 more weeks until sales end, a good figure so far and that there will not be too many match day tickets available for big games
RedWillie Posted 8 July, 2012 Posted 8 July, 2012 I'm intrigued how you worked this out. Impressive tho !
Matthew Le God Posted 8 July, 2012 Posted 8 July, 2012 I'm intrigued how you worked this out. Impressive tho ! It gives you numbers on the ticketing website of what has been sold in each block. You get a colour coded seating plan of the entire stadium and can see which seats have been sold so far.
Junction 9 Posted 8 July, 2012 Posted 8 July, 2012 What we need is a bigger stadium. I may or may not start a thread about it.

oldsarum Posted 8 July, 2012 Posted 8 July, 2012 Did you seriously sit and count every single ST seat sold using the online ticket site?! the site gives you total number of seats plus how many remining for each block, fairly simple exercise to work out the figures

I have moved seats for next season - can you find out if there are any foxy females close to my new seat please?
saints_is_the_south Posted 8 July, 2012 Posted 8 July, 2012 Did you seriously sit and count every single ST seat sold using the online ticket site?! Ah, hadn't spotted that. Fair enough.
Matthew Le God Posted 8 July, 2012 Posted 8 July, 2012 (edited) Catching up to the levels sold under Rupert Lowe and they still have 3 weeks left to sell more! Looks like it will be difficult to get a ticket close to match-day with only 7,443 seats left and shrinking all the time... Edited 8 July, 2012 by Matthew Le God
The Kraken Posted 8 July, 2012 Posted 8 July, 2012 I still find it quite surprising the club aren't running a membership system. Its free money and a decent way to prioritise match tickets. There is a new points system, so we'll see if that gets used for matchday ticket holders on the database instead. There certainly needs to be some form of prioritisation of tickets, but I'm not entirely sure how there can be before the start of the season.

Even so with 3 more weeks until sales end, a good figure so far and that there will not be too many match day tickets available for big games I think maybe block 3 is being held back to enable ST holders from block 42 to move there if/when we have a big cup game!
SaintBobby Posted 8 July, 2012 Posted 8 July, 2012 Blocks 5 to 9 are the corporate block. I know this cos I've gone for that "club lounge" deal and took seats in block 5, which was pretty empty when I coughed up the cash a week ago.
Mouldy Coat Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 I reckon Block 3 will be made available but only on a match by match basis. Gutted because that's where I was going to sit and it would be pretty noisy if they let people buy season tickets there.
Faz Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 This implies we've sold more STs than the capacity of that other place. Can't be true, surely?
CB Fry Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 This implies we've sold more STs than the capacity of that other place. Can't be true, surely? We've sold that many before.

Looks like it will be difficult to get a ticket close to match-day with only 7,443 seats left and shrinking all the time... that isn't quite right, we haven't sold 827 in block 3, so if you take them off the total sold we are back under 20k . would be nice if we can beat the number Brighton have sold.
JRM Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 hahah block 14 of the chapel just 27 sold, if you like a bit of room to spread out that is where to head for!!
saintbob40 Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 I think the Block 3 tickets (complimentaries) are considered as sold (albeit at nil cost) rather than this being an error.

Even so with 3 more weeks until sales end, a good figure so far and that there will not be too many match day tickets available for big games Thats quite impressive. A couple of seasons of that, we could be looking at stadium expansion.
alpine_saint Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 hahah block 14 of the chapel just 27 sold, if you like a bit of room to spread out that is where to head for!! Is there an OAP ST-holder who always smells of wee there, or something ?
craigthesaint Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 I think that a lot of block 4 would of moved to block 3 as i did. I sat right on the end of block 4 and moved across an aisle and saved £50 for me & £45 for the nipper and the view remains the same. I think that you'll also find that what remained of the original Itchen North rowdy bunch would of moved too for that closer to the away fan atmosphere.
suntouched Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 Maybe, when the new ticket office manager is appointed, he/she'll look at this and address it?
DJ_TOAST Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 if we don't sell all available season tickets it will be a embarrassment.
This Charming Man Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 Would be nice to hit the 25k mark. Surprised there's no membership scheme. Would be nice to know how the points scheme will work as well. How many points for attending an away game etc.
pingwing Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 I think maybe block 3 is being held back to enable ST holders from block 42 to move there if/when we have a big cup game! I have my season ticket in block 3 did the same as craigthesaint and plenty of other people saving a bit of cash and moving to the other side of the stairs from block 4. Should be a laugh if the entire block has sold out already! Would be nice not to have 2 randoms every week next to me.

Toomer Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 Slightly off topic but I was told this morning by the father in law of someone who works in the Mega Store that they took about £25k on Saturday and they sold about 400 shirts within that total.
buctootim Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 But what if the person with a ST next to you is a kn*b? This. I'd rather take pot luck each week than have constants who get on my tits by November.
sotonjoe Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 Reading have ltd there's to 19000 but currently have approx 200 unsold.
stevegrant Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 Reading have ltd there's to 19000 but currently have approx 200 unsold. No doubt now all their plastics have come out of the woodwork again, we'll only get about 2000 tickets up there, when halfway through last season they couldn't wait to give teams 4000+

Some simple maths will show you that if they did the same over a year it would equal... - Selling 146,000 shirts - Turning over £9.1 million Plus... - 400 shirts sold over an 8 hour day equals = 1.2 shirts sold per minute! It is safe to assume that is not a typical day at the megastore Alpine. Edited 9 July, 2012 by Matthew Le God

Their support is terrible.
Thedelldays Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 They even gave Leeds 4,000 tickets and that was right near the business end of the season. A truly terribly supported club. that was another game where they rode their luck for much of the game and somehow won I really think they will go down next season....they just went on one of those runs
This Charming Man Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 that was another game where they rode their luck for much of the game and somehow won I really think they will go down next season....they just went on one of those runs Yes they rode their luck a bit but you need more than luck to go on the run they did at the end. Hats off to them, they were strongest when it mattered and we stuttered over the line in the end. Depends how they spend their money but imagine their fans are saying similar things about us.

I just think their style will bite them in the arse.... they rarely dominated decent teams...sat back, allowed decent teams like brighton to have 20+ chances on goal and reading hitting them on the break and barely having 5 chances on goal... you simply cannot play that was in the premier league....

Against certain teams you have no choice but to play that way in the Premiership. They may be more adapted for life in the Premiership than us. I can't wait to see us try and play keep ball against Man City on the opening day...

It is safe to assume that is not a typical day at the megastore Alpine. Only if the megastore is open 365 days a year... which I'm pretty sure isn't the case. (Pendanted one of MLG's posts - Get in)

Matthew Le God Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 What I said was true. I said "if they did the same over a year" i.e. 365 days. I did not say "if they did the same over a year using the current opening times excluding things like Christmas Day etc".
stevegrant Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 Against certain teams you have no choice but to play that way in the Premiership. They may be more adapted for life in the Premiership than us. Double-edged sword really, on one hand they surely won't be as lucky as they were at times last season with teams missing 10-15 clear chances per game against them, but on the other hand their own clinical finishing will come in handy.

Lord Duckhunter Posted 9 July, 2012 Posted 9 July, 2012 Has anyone been down there today either to buy or to collect. I have to go and collect my Nipper's as it's a consession and I'm off tomorrow, I'm a bit pushed for time and dont want to be waiting around for ages.
