Kraken, you were even posting at the time this was raised earlier in the thread! I've been on the website to look for an update of that tweet but couldn't see one. As I (and others) commented at the time, we'll have to see just how accurate that list is. Block 3 is showing as sold out completely but I'm pretty sure others said it was just unavailable. Potentially blocks 6 and 7 too. Quite where the 17K figure comes from is a mystery, and I'd suggest a mistake. I've clearly missed the 22K mark posts that others have said. I think my prediction was that it would be around 24K - 25K. I know the club have previously not released ST levels before at time of sale (I think in the marketing brochure just out that's the first time under this administration). So we may have to speculate about what the final figure is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you login to the ticketing website, then start the process of buying a season ticket you will get a stadium plan and you can go round the stadium block by block adding up all those seats sold. That is where people are getting the numbers from. No need to "speculate about what the final figure is". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for you people that have done it, are the unavailable seats marked as "sold" or just "unavailable". Perfectly possible that the club aren't just selling every single block if they don't need to. If someone at the ticket office is saying 17,000 that might be a better guide than people totting things up on a ticket website designed to sell tickets, not track ticket sales.

Agreed re timing. People away or about to go on holiday (at some cost), others delaying until the July credit card bill is out of the way, the influence of the final few new signings and the increasingly imminent first league game will all have a bearing.

Golden Balls Posted 24 July, 2012 Share Posted 24 July, 2012 Don't they use block 3 for club staff? I've seen the academy lads sat there a few times even when sold out. Surprised its not higher but still a bit of time to go. I think we'll only add on about another 1000 unless we make a massive signing or something.

My comps were in Block 7 last season, which this is the 'Premium' priced block. It makes sense for the nil-income tickets to not be taking up expensive seats that can then be resold. Block 3 was probably the only area in the main stand that could accommodate a large number of comps in one block, whilst not plonking them right next to the away fans in Block 1 or 2. My block 7 seats were in a great position, but I'm glad to be back in the Itchen North corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 24 July, 2012 Share Posted 24 July, 2012 Why haven't all our new fans from Dorset, Cornwall, Somerset, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Warwickshire, Cheshire, France and Japan snapped them all up yet? Because many of them won't manifest themselves until after the season starts, when they actually notice we're in the Premier League. By the way, you forgot South Wales, which is how I became a Saints fan - though I suspect had the set of circumstances from 1989-91 which led to me coming here manifested themselves today, I'd be a Swansea City ST holder instead. So that particular boundary has shifted eastwards a bit. Plus Reading are hoovering up Berkshire and the M4 corridor at the moment which squeezes us southwards. Still, with a £7 BILLION Prem TV deal starting in 2013 and £60m just for coming 20th, if we stay up this season we won't need any fans next year anyway.

We've still got everything below the M4 and of course Reading dont have a new training ground or an academy as good as ours so we should be able to make a big dent in their M4 catchement area too.

Indeed crackers, last time we were in the premier league we never had the money and investment we had now, dont forget we sold out against Bolton in 2004. We should expect to smash any existing season ticket holder records this season. Chelsea only used to get 13,000 in 1984 before they had money and look at the crowds they get now.

JackanorySFC Posted 24 July, 2012 Share Posted 24 July, 2012 Itchen North (1/2) appears to be selling very badly. To be fair, for some wierd, unexplained reason, that (well out of date, it was that 3 weeks ago) figure of 88 sold is for block 1 only. Block 2 does not appear on the stadium plan online. We had to get ours over the phone. No many left in the back 10 rows of block 2 as of yesterday when another mate tried to get a seat near us.
