I don't think it's too bad... I feel sorry for those who were sat in seats that were not 'Premium' before this season, but if you're happy with Centre or Wings, it's not too bad an increase IMO.

[JackanorySFC]

Could be way worse (look at other clubs). Fair pricing if you ask me, credit where it's due and that. I'm a season ticket holder but know people that won't blink at paying that, picking and choosing game by game next season.

[oldsarum]

I think £38, £35 and £30 for standard seats is reasonable, I wouldn't have been surprised if those seats were £45, £40 and £35 respectively.

 

Although Premium and Centre seats are expensive i'll think find there are not many actually available following the sale of season tickets.

[Minty]

By introducing the Premium seats, it has actually kept some of the other prices at a more respectable level.

[The9]

To break it down to something easier to digest :

 

Northam

 

CAT A £38

CAT B £35

CAT C £30

 

Itchen Premium

 

CAT A £48

CAT B £44

CAT C £42

 

I honestly think that's about £10 cheaper than I was expecting. The Cat C "per match" ticket in the Northam is £2.50 CHEAPER than the per match cost for my ST renewal in there !

[Dig Dig]

Yep, don't have a season ticket but the prices are inline with my expecatations anyway and won't have any impact on me attending my usual number of games per season.

[JRM]

Priority for Man Utd if you go to Wigan, that is fair as well i think, £68 for both game behind the goals, could be worse.

[JRM]

if you have time go through per match adding up cost for Notham to compare to season ticket, that will be interesting to see what the saving is.

[JonnyLove]

Make's a season ticket rather good value. For example £40 (average price) x 19 = £760. My season ticket cost £575 (or what ever it was)

[The9]

Won't take long... I just need to find the number of matches per category.

 

Something else has just occurred to me - will ST holders who buy additional tickets get additional loyalty points, or are they capped at the maximum of 10,15 or 20 for that match ?

[The9]

Match Categories

 

- Category A: Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United (5)

- Category B: Aston Villa, Everton, Newcastle, QPR, Reading, Tottenham, and West Ham (7)

- Category C: Fulham, Norwich, Stoke, Sunderland, Swansea, West Brom and Wigan (7)

 

So for the Northam

 

5 x £38 = £190

plus 7 x £35 = £245

plus 7 x £30 = £210

 

Total cost per match = £645

My renewal was £575, £600 for a new ticket.

 

I think the booking fee bumps it up a bit, you basically get 2 Cat A matches free.

[Junction 9]

Has anyone tried booking online yet? Was working yesterday but can't log on now. Even with a password reset.

[The9]

As expected really but always depressing to see it confirmed. I look forward to attending the cup games anyway.

 

I think the Northam is pretty good value tbh.

So if you bought a new Season Ticket and paid by installments (which I did) you end up paying more than on match by match basis.

Don't forget there's a £2 booking fee for match tickets bought on the day (noticably absent from the ticket price article, but mentioned in the ST article!), so slap £38 on the match by match as well.

[warsash saint]

So an 'A' game for myself & my 9 year old nipper will have gone up by £20 !!!!!!

[Saint Garrett]

We got promoted.....The A games aren't mediocre teams anymore, it's Man City and some of the best players in the world.

Saving of £70 for me so not too bad.

 

The prices are pretty much what I expected and seem to be on par with teams of a similar size to us.

[The9]

It's £49 a ticket to see Man City at the Etihad, and £38 (+ booking fee) to see them at St Mary's, I'm not sure what the problem is.

[This Charming Man]

Only a fiver more, plus you're guaranteed a ticket for every game and gives you the best chance of obtaining tickets for away games.

[The9]

I honestly thought we'd be paying £50, £45 and £40, so £38 (£40), £35 (£37), £30 (£32) looks like a bargain.

[saint lard]

Is it not now the requirement to have 2 full paying adults to get a child in free in the family section? Or am I making that up,I thought it was stated by the club somewhere.

what about just my son (6yrs old) and I in the family section for each category ?

[Sour Mash]

To break it down to something easier to digest :

 

Northam

 

CAT A £38

CAT B £35

CAT C £30

 

Itchen Premium

CAT B £44

CAT C £42

 

I honestly think that's about £10 cheaper than I was expecting. The Cat C "per match" ticket in the Northam is £2.50 CHEAPER than the per match cost for my ST renewal in there !

Prices seem fairly reasonable all things considered, but can't see too many people paying £42 for our CAT C games.

There won't be many non season ticket seats in the Itchen premium areas for them to sell.

[bigchrisy]

just out of curiosity what does a concession equal the young adult/student category last year?

[Sour Mash]

There won't be many non season ticket seats in the Itchen premium areas for them to sell.

I know that.

[View From The Top]

Seem pretty fair to me. Good prices for the less attractive games.

[JRM]

i think they will do well out of linking the wigan game, people will want to do that with it being the 1st game at home back in the top flight, and will buy them early to take advantage of linking it. i can't see many Wigan coming down for it, 600 at most, so hopefully we'll sell out and open up extra blocks of the northam

[100%Red&White]

Got to say they're pretty reasonable for Premier League - extortinate compared to most of Europe - was expecting higher. Was equally content with my ST renewal.

 

I can't see them struggling to sell any tickets this season, if all that's left for some games are £48 seats then if you're not going week-in, week-out, it's not going to kill ya, there wont be a shortage of takers.

 

Now, £25 for a pre-season friendly that's live on the box is pushing it a bit far. Lucky to get 5k tomorrow.

There will be 12k there tomorrow, I'd imagine.

You say that but the Beach Volleyball starts at the Olympics tomorrow!

[latter day saint]

i was expecting higher prices than this so i'm well chuffed at the moment.

think it will be a real fight to get tickets in the Northam though at those prices, may have to try Itchen North

[doddisalegend]

That line of arguement only works if you go to see the oppostion personally I want to watch saints and couldn't care less if they are playing Citeh of Brentford still looks like a Cat C game for me and the kids in the family area will be about £46 inc booking charge (or £58 cant work out if a - means my 6 year old is free or pays the same as a under 17) looks like I might manage a couple of Cat C home games this season.....god I hate the PL.

Not sure of your situation but I take my two under 11s and I'm chuffed with the prices. Category C in the family centre will be the same price as last year, Cat B only £4 more. Its only the Cat A games where it hurts a bit at £51, almost double last year.

[for_heaven's_Saint]

Yeah, nor particularly bothered, just saying. Main thing for me is the priority for away tickets anyway. Plus having the same seats every week.

Hopefully no longer in ear shot!

[southamptonbairn]

The pricing is what I expected and reasonable for Premiership football. I just wish they would announce which games they are linking for priority booking well in advance. I've got flights booked for the Spurs game and no doubt 2 weeks before the Villa or Fulham game they will announce it's linked with Spurs and will be too late for cheaper transport costs

You can always buy a cheaper ticket and sell it on anyway. Also, Villa is the same category as Spurs so unlikely to be linked.

[This Charming Man]

You're not one of those w*nkers that keeps shouting that, are you?

[JRM]

also Spurs is a sunday (not on TV) so might not be as popular. think they will only link for a couple of games , Man Utd and Liverpool, maybe Arsenal and Chelsea.

Although I agree with you to a certain extent and understand your position, it's expected that the price will go up. Lets also not forget that our team will be better than last year and the wages will be bigger. Will have to pay for it somehow! Despite this I still think football is horribly overpriced but us mugs will pay for it anyway!

[dune]

Is the Northam/Chapel/corners all the same price?

[for_heaven's_Saint]

You're not one of those w*nkers that keeps shouting that, are you?

 

No, he was saying it to me as we had season tickets together in block 42 but I have moved this season, a decision which, amongst other things, was to get away from that pr*ck(s) who shout 'pork' and other ********.

[Saint Scott]

May seem a bit of a silly question but I don't get to come to alot of games so was unsure. A friend and I are hoping to get tickets for Man United at home. I am a member but he isn't. Can you only buy 1 ticket per member for general sale or will I be able to try and get 2?

Saints don't have a membership scheme. Do you mean you are on the ticket database?

 

Your best chance of getting a Man Utd ticket would be to buy tickets for the Wigan game as they are linked and you get priority. There is a good chance the Man Utd game won't reach general sale.

Edited 27 July, 2012 by Matthew Le God

[teamsaint]

so you can buy a ticket for Wigan, but you aren't actually guaranteed a Man u ticket, because ST holders could claim all the man u tickets before you get through to book one. Is that right?
