Saint Garrett Posted 15 November, 2012 Author Share Posted 15 November, 2012 Surprised. Be nice if we can get a few more ? Although unlikely as it didn't say 'initial allocation'. I guess the club are playing it safe as City didn't sell out, however be a shame if we can't take any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Sanchez Posted 15 November, 2012 Share Posted 15 November, 2012 I can not wait for this one , live in Liverpool and the banter between my scouse mates and me on matchday is priceless . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_coxy Posted 15 November, 2012 Share Posted 15 November, 2012 I hope we get more tickets as I brought 2 tickets this morning but had to get them in 'Severely Restrcited View'. I would rather be there than not so just went for them but hopefully the club will get some returns or we get more tickets for Liverpool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGTL Posted 15 November, 2012 Share Posted 15 November, 2012 Im pretty certain 2000 is their standard away allocation. I wouldn't expect anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 15 November, 2012 Author Share Posted 15 November, 2012 Thought the home side HAS to offer 10% of the overall capacity or 3000, whichever is less....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandwichsaint Posted 15 November, 2012 Share Posted 15 November, 2012 Thought the home side HAS to offer 10% of the overall capacity or 3000, whichever is less....? But probably not in instalments over a couple of weeks, if we have taken (2000) then presumably they have sold or are selling the remainder to home fans? Idle speculation by me alert, can anyone confirm if this is correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGTL Posted 15 November, 2012 Share Posted 15 November, 2012 Well in recent games against Newcastle and Man City, they've only given them 2000 too, when I'm sure they could have sold more. I expect there is some sort of health and safety nonsense behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 15 November, 2012 Share Posted 15 November, 2012 Sold Out Southampton FC @officialsaints Our allocation of tickets for the trip to @LFC on Saturday 1st December have now sold out. Thanks for your support! #saintsfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saints foreva Posted 15 November, 2012 Share Posted 15 November, 2012 Thought the home side HAS to offer 10% of the overall capacity or 3000, whichever is less....? Yep it does but for some reason Liverpool get away with offering less. Hopefully we do what we did to Leeds in League One and give him 1,800 tickets. Doubt we will though.

dickyhale Posted 15 November, 2012 Share Posted 15 November, 2012 Even if it does sell out, it'll have reached general sale comfortably. Administrator................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Charming Man Posted 16 November, 2012 Share Posted 16 November, 2012 It's not the first time Liverpool have had preferential treatment. Would be nice if we only gave them 2,000 tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 16 November, 2012 Share Posted 16 November, 2012 Surprised at how quickly these sold out, when they went on sale to just season ticket holders (not with away games on file) there was only restricted view left, good turn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Mash Posted 16 November, 2012 Share Posted 16 November, 2012 I guess Saints had to take up the extra allocation on a "no returns" basis and after what happened at Man City decided to only take the smaller allocation. Fair enough really. DOn't think many of us thought we'd sell so many, so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 16 November, 2012 Author Share Posted 16 November, 2012 I'm very surprised, didn't even think we'd sell out let alone not even go on general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffo Posted 16 November, 2012 Share Posted 16 November, 2012 United/Everton/Arsenal always seem to have up to behind the goal. That's plenty more than 2,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 16 November, 2012 Share Posted 16 November, 2012 There are two problems I have with our sale of Liverpool tickets. Firstly, they are more expensive than the Everton tickets, at a more financially tricky time of year (people saving for Xmas), Liverpool are lower in the table than Everton and the city (and area, and pubs, and nights out) around the ground are exactly the same - so why on earth are we able to sell this out but not Everton, which other than the opposition is an identical fixture ? The weird "big club" effect is still in place for Saints fans. Bizarre - unless someone wants to make a case that we've sold out because we think we've got more chance of winning this one... The other problem I'm having with the sale of away tickets is that the limited number of wheelchair and ambulant/enabler tickets are not available online, so we now have the utterly shameful sight of ONLY the disabled having to queue up on "launch day" at 9am in the p155ing rain. As a customer service for disabled customers that is an absolute disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
