teenagegsaint Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Brilliant news, tenner for ticket and coach http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/swansea-prices-slashed-1468181.aspx
Colinjb Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 A great way to reward the loyal away contingent. Bravo to the club.
teenagegsaint Posted 5 April, 2014 Author Posted 5 April, 2014 why it's been taken down I don't know, maybe it was accidentally put up in the game
DuncanRG Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Lovely stuff. Would the away fans grant cover it or has the club dug into its own pocket? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Saint_clark Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 If this is happening, would you be able to just purchase the ticket for a tenner? Or can you purchase both and then not use the coach?
SuperMikey Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 If this is happening, would you be able to just purchase the ticket for a tenner? Or can you purchase both and then not use the coach? My thoughts exactly - was going to do this one anyway but don't really want to go on the bingo bus..
Saint Garrett Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Well my plan is to stay in Cardiff, so bingo bus is a no go, but I'd happily take the ticket for a tenner!!
trousers Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 (edited) Southampton FC @SouthamptonFC We’re heavily subsidising tickets and travel for the trip to @SwansOfficial on Saturday 3rd May – #SaintsFC’s final away game of 2013/14. So, tickets for the trip to @SwansOfficial will be priced at £5 for adults and just £1 for Under-16s and Over-65s! #saintsfc Strange gesture for a club that's in a "difficult" financial situation...

Whitey Grandad Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Nice gesture but I was thinking of going to this, my first away game for a couple of years. I've got a couple of STs but what are the chances of any tickets being left after the initial offerings?

I've got a couple of STs but what are the chances of any tickets being left after the initial offerings? Unless you've been to a lot of away games, probably quite slim unfortunately. I've been to 6, and would like to go, but happy if those who have been to more buy up the tickets.
View From The Top Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Was going to go with the lad with tickets via Northern Saints but nippers cricket and a 100km cycle race has put pay to that. Typical when it's the cheapest game ever!
Whitey Grandad Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Nil. Ok then. Ridiculous idea! They should charge £50 for them!
LGTL Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 A brilliant offer. Should be a great day to end, let's be honest, a great season.
Saint Garrett Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 A brilliant offer. Should be a great day to end, let's be honest, a great season. Absolutely this. Chuffed we have a home game to finish the season as well so we can show our appreciation to the players. Allocation is 1,992 for this. First time I've seen an allocation in the public eye for ages!
Saints foreva Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Swear we had a bigger allocation last season.
trousers Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Swear we had a bigger allocation last season. Ok..."we had a ****ing bigger ****ing allocation last season. FFS"
Benali Saint Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Great news. Wasn't going as couldn't afford it. But I can now
Saints foreva Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Ok..."we had a ****ing bigger ****ing allocation last season. FFS" Just had a look on Ground Guide and it says the maximum is 2,000 so maybe not, my mistake.
John Boy Saint Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Daughter #1 has an exhibition for Uni in Carmarthen that morning, there was a faint thought of going. Might give it a bigger go if true................. Bit shallow I know.
saint1977 Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 Well done to the club, should be a great day out. Would love to go as not been to the Liberty before but suspect my chances of getting a ticket as a non-ST are nil.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 5 April, 2014 Posted 5 April, 2014 I hope the club aren't scrimping on the away end decorating to fund this.
SO16_Saint Posted 6 April, 2014 Posted 6 April, 2014 Last away game of the season? Should all go as MoPo from yesteryear will longhair and tracksuits
Griffo Posted 6 April, 2014 Posted 6 April, 2014 Last away game of the season? Should all go as MoPo from yesteryear will longhair and tracksuits No we shouldn't.
red&white56 Posted 7 April, 2014 Posted 7 April, 2014 Great offer but unlikely to get a look-in as a non ST holder and only 4 aways games this season (2 with tickets not linked to my membership number)
Crab Lungs Posted 7 April, 2014 Posted 7 April, 2014 Get your beach balls, foam hands and fancy dress costumes out.
The Cat Posted 7 April, 2014 Posted 7 April, 2014 Get your beach balls, foam hands and fancy dress costumes out. Weather dependent, but I'm considering a mankini.
Barry Sanchez Posted 7 April, 2014 Posted 7 April, 2014 Would rather have free away coaches for the supporters for all the away games http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23376497 All a bit too late.

I wouldn't. Free coaches would mean our away support would be even more full of old people, families and blokes who have taken their girlfriends. The best option is to knock an even amount of money off the ticket price for every away game. Benefits everyone equally then.
Saint Garrett Posted 7 April, 2014 Posted 7 April, 2014 I wouldn't.

However more than happy with what they have done, should be a great day.

The best option is to knock an even amount of money off the ticket price for every away game. Benefits everyone equally then. And what's wrong with old people?
Griffo Posted 7 April, 2014 Posted 7 April, 2014 And what's wrong with old people? Nothing in particular, it's just in general, an away support filled with a higher percentage of an older people will be a quieter away support than one without.
Whitey Grandad Posted 7 April, 2014 Posted 7 April, 2014 Nothing in particular, it's just in general, an away support filled with a higher percentage of an older people will be a quieter away support than one without. You can make all the noise you like, most of us can't hear very well anyway.
Saint Garrett Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 Anyone managed to get on yet? Normally I get a number in the queue, this is just spinning?
studentsaint Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 All that moaning about us pocketing the grant whilst everyone else used there's. Saying it was used to upgrade coaches. That all seems very laughable now...
oldsarum Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 Would rather have free away coaches for the supporters for all the away games http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23376497 All a bit too late. have to disagree on two levels First of all not all people who travel to games would be able to use coaches, many do not live in Southampton area Secondly travelling by coach is the worse possible way to travel to away games, it's alright if all you are interested in is watching the match , but i if you want the full away day experience it's fa rbetter to either drive or go by train giving you the ability to see a bit of the town /city where you are playing plus stop off at places on route, which is something the organised coaches seldolm offer
Nexstar Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 All that moaning about us pocketing the grant whilst everyone else used there's. Saying it was used to upgrade coaches. That all seems very laughable now... To be fair, I can't see how subsidising this singular game comes to £200k.
stevegrant Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 All that moaning about us pocketing the grant whilst everyone else used there's. Saying it was used to upgrade coaches. That all seems very laughable now... I don't remember anyone saying the money had been used to upgrade coaches (the only coach the club owns is the one the team travels on, which they bought last season IIRC). The club freely admitted earlier in the season that at least part of the £200k away fund had been used to decorate the away concourse at St Mary's and to put on the family fun day at the Fulham home game.
Sour Mash Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 All that moaning about us pocketing the grant whilst everyone else used there's. Saying it was used to upgrade coaches. That all seems very laughable now... Not really. You'll probably want to double check the responses from the club when people had a moan about it to them. Glad to see the club have changed tact.
Whitey Grandad Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 To be fair, I can't see how subsidising this singular game comes to £200k. 2000 people at £100 each?
stevegrant Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 Has it sold out yet? Can't sell out until at least Thursday.
SuperMikey Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 Have to get my tickets tomorrow - managed to do 8 away games this season so only 1 short of being able to get them early doors today! Never mind.
Simples Posted 8 April, 2014 Posted 8 April, 2014 Hope I can get some. My stag weekend has been planned around going to this game.
sir_fred Posted 9 April, 2014 Posted 9 April, 2014 Help needed! I am huge Swedish saint fan and have ended up in quite i situation due to the slashed ticket prices. Me and 3 friends booked flights to the Swansea game back in December after the Saints ticket office said that it shouldn´t be a problem to get tickets to the game. Now they are answering that season tickets it a must to be able to get tickets. It would be a real disappointment travel to Swansea not being able to watch the game. Anyone out there who could give us a helping hand? Would mean the world to us.
