Minty Posted 27 July, 2012 Share Posted 27 July, 2012 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 Posted 27 July, 2012 Share Posted 27 July, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsarum Posted 27 July, 2012 Share Posted 27 July, 2012 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 Posted 27 July, 2012 Share Posted 27 July, 2012 By introducing the Premium seats, it has actually kept some of the other prices at a more respectable level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 27 July, 2012 Share Posted 27 July, 2012 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 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Posted 27 July, 2012 Share Posted 27 July, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyLove Posted 27 July, 2012 Share Posted 27 July, 2012 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Posted 27 July, 2012 Share Posted 27 July, 2012 (edited) 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. Edited 27 July, 2012 by The9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

JRM Posted 27 July, 2012 Share Posted 27 July, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100%Red&White Posted 27 July, 2012 Share Posted 27 July, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

southamptonbairn Posted 27 July, 2012 Share Posted 27 July, 2012 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.

Saint Scott Posted 27 July, 2012 Share Posted 27 July, 2012 May seem a bit of a silly question but I don't get to come to alot of games so was unsure.

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.

teamsaint Posted 27 July, 2012 Share Posted 27 July, 2012 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.
