Season ticket sales


SW11_Saint

Recommended Posts

I'm waiting for the flexible price of season tickets to go down before I buy mine. Its a gamble but I think I'll be proved right.

 

The problem is if there is a sudden rush the price will go up and you might end up having to pay £1500. Don't say you weren't warned.

Is there a waiting list for season tickets? Surely there must be thousands on the waiting list?

 

There would be but unlike other clubs most Saints fans don't bother putting their name on a waiting list if they think there is no chance of getting one.

Has anyone got a copy of the imaginary waiting list we had at The Dell? Wouldn't mind knowing how many imaginary names were on an imaginary list back then. Could compare it to see how many imaginary fans we have wanting to come these days.

One thing that is for sure, it's a damn sight more than there is at Everton.

To be fair, for some wierd, unexplained reason, that (well out of date, it was that 3 weeks ago) figure of 88 sold is for block 1 only.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.

 

I remember that now actually. Bought in row FF in Block 2 myself and could only get that over the phone as it didn't show up online. Weird.

It wasn't imaginary, I was on it for at least 3 years.

Does anybody seriously believe Saints will sell more than 22k tops. Never went higher last time around so why this time especially now people are much more skint?

 

Surely the prospect of champions league football will take us to new heights.

Of course it would but that is for the future, maybe, one day, when such success would suck in the plastic prawn sandwich brigade.

 

As of today we are nowhere near that level and I'll settle for being amongst the best of the rest and hope we never become another debt ridden bunch of Arab-owned, show-boating, ****-takers who's only tradition is to get chucked out of back street strip joints in a permanent haze of alcohol fuelled self pity.

But surely as a dyed in the whatever Capitalist, you should be buying at least 10 ST's so that you can make a fortune selling them off to the Prawn Sandwich eaters when the big day arrives next season?

 

 

 

 

:rolleyes:

Aren't these ones going to come to Southampton in their droves to watch premier league football? That's what we've been told on here anyway.

Personally, I think that if we don't average under 30k, that turkish should get a season long ban from that account, since no amount of "i told you so" will discourage him in the slightest.

 

Why? We should average 30k, with our investment, catchment area, ambition, catchment area, potential, catchment area, Chelseas crowds in 1984, catchment area, selling out against Bolton in 2004 and our massive catchment area we should sell out every game.

Where has he (or anyone) said that we would get that low a figure?

Could we have a separate thread to bicker about our catchment area / stadium capacity / pricing policy / ambition and all the rest of it, rather than ****ing all over every other thread? I really feel it could quickly rise to 1000+ posts given the evidently massive interest in the topic within our Internet fan base.

 

Now what to call it... How about "pompous troll saga"?

I think you can file that alongside "all you people who think we can never play in Europe" as totally fabricated concepts that no one ever actually says or even thinks, but certain people rail and grandstand against regardless.

 

Oh, "I bet you thought that about leaving the Dell" is another one you can stick in that list.

Or just have another thread just for Dorkish and TCM. That would stop me having to troll through all their petty crap.

A good idea. I saw a post from somebody on the Pompey Takeover thread moaning that Dorkish was boring the tits off him, so I thought that I'd see what it was about. Even with him being on my ignore, I can see that he, Fry and TCM have hijacked yet another thread with their puerile playground jibes.

 

Thankfully, I'm off on holiday for two weeks from Thursday and when I get back the season will be due to start. Then perhaps they might post instead about the football, how crap some of the players are, what a waste of money, how long will Adkins have before he is sacked, etc.

 

But better than them having a separate thread for themselves, why not have them leave this forum alone and go and play elsewhere, ideally the UI. I'm sure that the number of posters on here would increase.

What's the point of having me on ignore when you constantly talk about Me on posts, reply to posts I've made which other people have quoted and read threads for the sole reason that someone has said I have posted on them? And like Sue Whistle why do you keep on annoucing im on ignore? Is it a prerequisite that you have to be a self

Important dullard to use the ignore feature? Odd behaviour.

Why don't you and your fellow arse aching bores start a different forum? You can obsess about me make up straw man arguments and do all your usual weaselling snideyness completely undisturbed by normal people.

The joke is that you would presumably include yourself and Dorkish among the normal people. :lol: :rolleyes:

 

It is you few who are increasingly annoying other posters with your inane trolling, you are ruining the forum when others wish to enter into sensible adult debate.

 

And I'm sure that were we to start a new forum, it wouldn't be long before you would come along, or somebody with a similar childish mindset, and ruin that one too, for forums do attract their fair share of weirdos. It is up to the moderators to try and weed out those who debase the forum, if they wish to keep it attractive to the majority. It can't have escaped their notice that there has been an increasing number of posters who have complained of threads being hijacked by the usual suspects.

Yes. I know several people who have said how incredibly arrogant, tedious and dull you are yet the mods are unwilling to act. It seems yo are protected. Like you say, the internet does attract a lot of weirdos. Best just all put each other on ignore hadn't we?*

 

 

* and then mention it at every opportunity, continue to respond to posts, read threads only because the person on ignore has posted on them and go on and on and on and on about the person who is on ignore, claim you wish they'd leave or stop yet talk about nothing else.

Christ. Just goes round and round in circles

We have sold over 20k ST sales

So what?

 

Is it some sort of yard stick to measure our collective willies against something?

 

It's so we can prove how many more fans we have than Everton.

Could some one answer the question please? How many season tickets have been sold thus far? I can't be the only one interested.

No-one knows for sure.

 

The online system, which shows how many tickets are remaining AVAILABLE to buy, show that 21,661 tickets are "sold". However, as has been put forward by several people, that figure is unreliable as some of the stadium blocks are being shown as completely unavailable but its known that the club holds back a certain amount of tickets for comps, club officials, development players etc etc. This could, potentially, be applicable to some other areas of the stadium. So its perhaps likey that the overall figure is a bit less than the 21,661 figure quotes. Between 20,000 and 21,000 is a reasonable estimate to make IMO.

According to the table in post #208 from MLG, it is only Blocks 3 and 7 that appear to be completely unavailable.

 

They are quite small blocks, totalling ca. 1,400 seats.

 

Therefore if 21600 seats appear sold, we must be close to or over the 20,000 mark.

 

Damn good show, I say... :)

However it does not include any seats sold to people like me in block 2. They are not available on the online plan, have to be bought over the phone.

 

Also a lot of block 4 ST holders have moved over to block 3 as was their right to do so due to the higher price kicking in for blocks 4 onwards.

How does it not do that? The top line is for blocks 1 and 2 (written blovks 1/2).
