suewhistle Posted 19 August, 2013 Share Posted 19 August, 2013 No idea, but suggest you get in quick if you need a ticket if they haven't already sold out. No doubt someone will be along later to update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Mash Posted 19 August, 2013 Share Posted 19 August, 2013 Were still plenty left when I checked yesterday surprisingly. Would imagine yesterday's news won't do any harm for sales though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepgar Posted 19 August, 2013 Share Posted 19 August, 2013 I bought some last night. Block 3 still has a section of tickets. I will be collecting them this morning so will ask. but I would imagine now Os has signed it will sell out. Which to be honest it should. I paid £37 in block 1. The club have really invested so we should do all we can to support that backing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Mikey Posted 19 August, 2013 Share Posted 19 August, 2013 As the first game of the season, on the face of it - this game should sell out no problem. We're also on the back of so many positive stories for the club: - Rickie called up for England - Record signings home debuts - Win last week - 4 academy players in first XI If it doesn't, then you can only point to the ticket pricing and the fact you can watch the game in a shedload of pubs around the city, or at home if you wish...

stevegrant Posted 19 August, 2013 Share Posted 19 August, 2013 According to the online booking system, there's around 3200 tickets still available in home areas. Sunderland have not taken the full allocation, meaning that the whole of block 43 is on sale to home fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 19 August, 2013 Share Posted 19 August, 2013 As the first game of the season, on the face of it - this game should sell out no problem. Traditionally the first 3 or 4 home games of the season are the least attractive games. When previously in the PL and per last season too, our best attendance figures are to be found at the back end of the season. Of last season's opening 4 league games we only sold out against Man United, with games against Wigan and Fulham attracting 29K and 28K respectively. If we sell out against the likes of Sunderland, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Swansea then it would hard to argue that our crowds have moved on since last season.

The Kraken Posted 19 August, 2013 Share Posted 19 August, 2013 one note I will not be doing that again but it got personal so I kept going just for you lot. It's still a bit of a sh*t system if you're looking for tickets and there's only a few left; there's no quick and easy way to find the available seats, you have to manually search in each block. At the bare minimum it needs something to tell you that a particular block is completely sold out; at best, an up to date system that lists (as you have done) the amount available in each block.

ericb Posted 19 August, 2013 Share Posted 19 August, 2013 I'd be really disappointed if it wasn't sold out. It's our first game of the season at home off the back of a win, Rickies first game at st mary's after his england call up, we've just signed the italian number nine and looking the strongest we have in years.

For the record, football league newcomers Newport County have a system that does this, albeit only for about 5000 seats, but scale isn't really the issue, it's the crappy system. Which is less capable than one used by a poky L2 team that only even needs to sell tickets about 1/5th of the time.

saints_is_the_south Posted 19 August, 2013 Share Posted 19 August, 2013 Lets have a look at our opening home game attendances in the Premier League whilst at St Mary's. 2001/02 - Chelsea - 31,107 2002/03 - Middlesbrough - 28,341 2003/04 - Birmingham City - 31,656 2004/05 - Blackburn Rovers - 27,492 2012/13 - Wigan Athletic - 29,604 Average: 29,640. Anything over 30K would be decent on Saturday, although with the current feel good factor around the club it is slightly disappointing that we aren't selling out for this one.

saints_is_the_south Posted 20 August, 2013 Share Posted 20 August, 2013 I remember when block 43 was open for a League Cup game against Yeovil circa 2006. It was sold out, everybody was stood from back to front, and for a League Cup game it was a pretty decent atmosphere. I find now that whenever it is open, other than the very very back of the stand, everybody else is sat. It is nice being able to see Saints fans in the Northam on the TVthough, looks like it is exclusively an away end most of the time as the camera doesn't pan round enough to show block 42.
