saints_is_the_south Posted 13 February, 2013 Share Posted 13 February, 2013 You can now buy advance fare rail tickets from Southampton Central to Cardiff for £14.00 return. Cardiff to Swansea is £8.30 return on the day. £22.30 altogether, very good price. To get the £14.00 return you are required to get the 6.53 train from Southampton Central and the 20.30 back.

Latvian Michael Owen Posted 20 February, 2013 Share Posted 20 February, 2013 Just bought cheap train tickets from up north, so desperately hoping the kick-off time stays at 3pm and I manage to get a ticket! Apparently the away club is allocated 2000 tickets, which judging by recent away trips we should easily sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 21 February, 2013 Share Posted 21 February, 2013 Yes, the TV games have already been picked for that weekend. Sweet, may well get trains sorted then....might even eye up a weekend in Swansea. Bit of a dive though isn't it !? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawillwill Posted 21 February, 2013 Share Posted 21 February, 2013 Sweet, may well get trains sorted then....might even eye up a weekend in Swansea. Bit of a dive though isn't it !? Wind Street is great for a night out. At least it was about 5 years ago - it's gone downhill since then though IMO. Hopefully the police won't be as over-zealous as our last visit there. Having been to the Liberty quite a few times in the past they can generate a really good atmosphere. Unfortunately when we last played there, you wouldn't have believed it. Probably the quietest I've ever heard Saints fans away too considering we had about 3,000 there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 22 February, 2013 Share Posted 22 February, 2013 Didn't we lose 5-0 the last time we were there !? Might explain it? Eyeing up Cardiff for a night out I think, and just nip over to Swansea for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Charming Man Posted 22 February, 2013 Share Posted 22 February, 2013 Swansea away last time is probably the worst away day I've ever done bar the 4-1 pasting at Fratton. The towns a dump, the OTT policing was ridiculous and Saints were dreadful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rang up and in classic saints TO fashion they tell me they don't know if it's sold out because they don't sell them by the phone, and there's nothing they can do.

Football must be one of the only industries you can get away with consistently sh*te service. Which number did you call? They must be able to quickly ask at the desk to see if there are a handful available or not. I just have a hunch that our on-line ticket system isn't sophisticated enough for away game sales, so to avoid over-selling tickets, when we're very close to selling them all, they switch the on-line system to "Sold Out" - I've got no proof that is the case though!

JRM Posted 10 April, 2013 Share Posted 10 April, 2013 Just spoke to my contact in ticket office and told they have only 2 or 3 tickets left they do always keep some back after the "sold out" sign goes up online. Villa away they had about 20 left the day after online showed as sold out, unfortunately the only people that can get their hands on those tickets are the ones who can go down to st marys as they won't sell away tickets on the phone. joke set up, need to buck our ideas up to be a champions league standard!

As I say, reckon the system isn't sophisticated enough for away tickets, so when they get close to selling out, they take them off on-line sale to avoid over-selling them. At that point they should then allow sale over the phone, ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It not fair on people like myself who live a long way away is it, or people who have to be at work etc. Another thing is I wish they'd say what the allocation is.

Agreed. When the situation is such as this, with a handful remaining, they should then go on sale over the phone. Heard we have the full 2k allocation for this, but again, why can't the club just tell us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie B Posted 17 April, 2013 Share Posted 17 April, 2013 Have a spare ticket for Swansea on Saturday. Griffo has used his 3 posts but if anyone that wants it leaves an email address/Facebook/phone number on here then he can get hold of you. Face value, plus booking fee - £36.50.

ladysaint Posted 22 April, 2013 Share Posted 22 April, 2013 Well the day out in Swansea/Cardiff was great and so different from the last time we played Swansea, it must be because we are both now premiership team, I cant see any other reason. Everyone seemed to find a friendly pub, there was no shepherding from the police from the train station to the ground and was a thoroughly enjoyable day out.

Saint Garrett Posted 22 April, 2013 Share Posted 22 April, 2013 (edited) Didn't go last time, but there was Saints shirts everywhere. Police were very friendly and helpful. We ended up in Yates then Varsity. Getting a taxi to the ground was a pain in the arse though !! Went out in Cardiff on Saturday night and had a great time. Be able to do both again next year I reckon. Very enjoyable 'away day weekend!' Edited 22 April, 2013 by Saint Garrett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
