Matthew Le God Posted 18 July, 2014 Share Posted 18 July, 2014 First time in years they've used ticket prices that should get a healthy attendance at a pre-season game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_ed Posted 18 July, 2014 Share Posted 18 July, 2014 Spot on pricing. I'll be going with a big group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Tender Posted 18 July, 2014 Share Posted 18 July, 2014 Yea! Decent ticket prices for once! It will be interesting to see whether the result will be a largish capacity crowd and that the club will benefit financially from the ancilliary sales of merchandise in the shop and sales in the concourse. If so, then it might be an incentive for them to think along similar lines for next season's cup matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100%Red&White Posted 18 July, 2014 Share Posted 18 July, 2014 Cracking prices, should be a good crowd for RK's and the new signings first home game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the saint in winchester Posted 18 July, 2014 Share Posted 18 July, 2014 Sensible pricing, but sadly they didn't contact me before arranging the date. I'm on holiday in Italy until 12th. If it had been away to Roma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View From The Top Posted 18 July, 2014 Share Posted 18 July, 2014 Great pricing and hopefully an insight into cup pricing this season. Alas I'm in London on the Saturday ahead of the Ride London 100 on the Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthewb Posted 18 July, 2014 Share Posted 18 July, 2014 That is great pricing, but those who want it to be reciprocated for cup games remember we have to agree the ticket prices with the away club as the gate money is split 45% to each club and 10% to the cup organisers, so if the prices are high it might not alway be Saints fault!

colman1860 Posted 21 July, 2014 Share Posted 21 July, 2014 While the prices are great at first glance, the £2.50 service charge per ticket is pretty steep when you book on the phone...a pair of tickets ends up costing £29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! It's not £10 a ticket because their online ticket booking is currently under maintenance so you can't book that route. It's £12.50 per ticket in reality. Not very happy tbh. As the online booking is down they should waive the booking fee surely? Also, amazingly, my purchase is showing up on the online booking system...

Sour Mash Posted 21 July, 2014 Share Posted 21 July, 2014 Are tickets going to go sale on-line? £2.50 is a bit of a p**s take otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Ash Posted 21 July, 2014 Share Posted 21 July, 2014 Are tickets going to go sale on-line? £2.50 is a bit of a p**s take otherwise. Unfortunately not Tickets for this fixture can be purchased by calling the ticket sales line on 02381 780 780, or in person from the Ticket Office. Due to the upgrade to the ticketing system taking place this summer, we are unable to sell tickets online for this fixture. Decent prices but should've done are with the £2.50 fee, luckily I can pop to the box office and buy them on the way home from work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurosaint Posted 21 July, 2014 Share Posted 21 July, 2014 My ticket will be £6.00 plus a 41.7% booking charge = £8.50 ! I know it's still cheap but when expressed this way it does look a bit daft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckenham Saint Posted 21 July, 2014 Share Posted 21 July, 2014 £2.50 is not that much more? I paid a £10 service charge on Getmein.com for some gig tickets I'm not all that fussed about, so don't think £2.50 was that bad over the phone. Did add up a bit though for the 4 tickets we got!

There's no £2.50 charge if you book via the online website - however Saints are currently upgrading their website so, therefore, you're penalised and have to pay the £2.50 additional per ticket. That's not very fair, they should waive the £2.50 if they can't provide the online booking system to fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 21 July, 2014 Share Posted 21 July, 2014 I hope Leverkusen put out a better side than the one that got thumped by Marseille on Saturday. Very poor side, still I expect it's a case of missing WC players more than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tickets were £44 (3x adult, 1 concession) Booking fee was £10 - not bad for 30 seconds work! Not too bothered but it should be a flat booking fee, not 1 per ticket.

ant Posted 22 July, 2014 Share Posted 22 July, 2014 According to the ticket line staff they don't have the ability to override the booking fees (make your own mind up on whether that's true). I argued the toss but as I only needed two tickets did relent. Would've cost me more in petrol to get down to the ticket office although that's not really the point. Still, decent opposition and we should be approaching a full strength squad by then. Hopefully will be played at less of a canter than the early friendlies.

colman1860 Posted 22 July, 2014 Share Posted 22 July, 2014 I'd expect their side will be full strength. It's 6 days before their season opener (albeit against a lower league side in the cup). Against Marseille, they were missing Son (Korea), Bender (injured), Drmic (Switzerland) etc, and brought on a reserve side at halftime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping it'd be Scarborough or something, but BL could pull quite a big crowd! Yes and no. The cheap ticket prices will mean it'll sell pretty well, but neither the corners of the ground nor the Chapel Stand will be open which reduces potential capacity somewhat. I'd just avoid Northam Blocks 40-42, where the rabble such as myself reside Being so close to the start of the season (and the only home friendly) there ought to be a fun atmosphere - a decent opportunity to get the kids hooked.

kitch Posted 23 July, 2014 Share Posted 23 July, 2014 Ha! Cheers guys. I usually sit in the Kingsland as I'm too slow to get in on the Northam ones. Have only sat in the Itchen once, and it was almost dead to be honest. I just want them to feel the buzz, but without some fat bloke full of pie behind me shouting **** **** **** all day long If I don't have the kids there, great. Makes it more fun usually. But with the littlees I'm going to be a boring bastid! Only drawback on all of this is that their first game is likely to be one we get turned over on!

Saint Jude Posted 23 July, 2014 Share Posted 23 July, 2014 I took my kids to the Sociedad game last year, for their first game... it was a really good starter for them in terms of not intimidating (both in terms of in the ground and outside)... only downside was that as there was no family area.. I ended up with 5 blokes in front sharing a 'flask' of some sort.. and increasingly effing and blinding as the game went on... but still they need to get used to it, if they're going to come to a game anyway... Subsequently got my daughter to a number of proper games last season.. and will be taking a younger one to the BL game, if I can get back from holiday in time...
