Roger Posted 31 January, 2015 Posted 31 January, 2015 Just been told there is 200 tickets left for tommorow. Thibk it would be 9th sell out in a row. Only singles. Do the club usually shift 200 tickets on match day?
real saint Posted 31 January, 2015 Posted 31 January, 2015 i would think they would go between now and tomorrow certainly good showing by the fans
Stepgar Posted 31 January, 2015 Posted 31 January, 2015 I thought it had already sold out? @jankluit: Tomorrow we will play in a sold out St. Mary's again. Let's go @SouthamptonFC Will be nice to hear you all to support the team. ⚽️
Roger Posted 31 January, 2015 Author Posted 31 January, 2015 840 away from home sell out vs west ham. If we sell out both would be 11 sell outs in a row. Would be achievable. Anyone think we will sell out both?

Matthew Le God Posted 31 January, 2015 Posted 31 January, 2015 (edited) No 200 left. The club will probably call it a sell out as single seats will be hard to shift. Every official "sellout" we've had in the past will have had some single seats unsold. Edited 31 January, 2015 by Matthew Le God

Roger Posted 31 January, 2015 Author Posted 31 January, 2015 I have no idea, I'm not Nostradamus. Obviously the question was aimed at just you. Who do you think you are? Perez?

Matthew Le God Posted 31 January, 2015 Posted 31 January, 2015 Every sell out hasn't actually sold out? Pretty much, yes. In stadiums of many thousands of seats you are going to get single seats dotted throughout that are hard to sell. Most people go to matches with at least one other person. When a club says a game is a "sellout", it is effectively a sellout to anyone that wants to go to a game and not sit on their own. Do you not think that is the case?

Do you not think that is the case? Why would the club state that it a a sell out days before the game if there were still plenty of singles left? How does that benefit the club? I bet there are quite a lot of people that would happily sit alone, or a few seats down from a mate. Yes, saying it was a "sell out" after a match is fair enough, but logic would say to push the sales as much as possible if there are any tickets left.

Do you not think that is the case? No, I think a lot of 'sell outs' have completely sold out. Coventry at home, Championship promotion game, I don't think anyone was bothered if the ticket available was a single seat, do you?
Goatboy Posted 31 January, 2015 Posted 31 January, 2015 I'm sorry but if there are 200 odd single seats left that is not a sellout. That is pi*s poor planning by the ticket office.

Do you not think that is the case? I call BS too ... let's take 'Swansea' out of the equation (and substitute 'Liverpool') - are you really telling us there are 200 single seats available for the Liverpool game? But the club have shut up the ticket shop cos it's not cost efficient to sell £8k worth of tickets, despite the fact the box office is staffed and open pretty much every day and despite the fact the club could sell these 200 tickets 10 times over? 'Because people don't want to sit on there own' .... I call BS with a capital B and a capital S.
TopGun Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 Quid for a kid at Portsmouth next week at home to Hartlepool...

jawillwill Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 There has been nobody sat in the single seat next to me all season. Deodorant is half price in Boots at the moment.
Miltonaggro Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 Quid for a kid at Portsmouth next week at home to Hartlepool... With extortionate pricing like that how do they expect to attract new fans!

JRM Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 Which helps support my point. No it doesn't at all you idiot. a mate of mine when done there the other day looking for ONE ticket for the Liverpool game but it was sold out, same thing happened for palace game. If there were single seats left they would have sold it to him. The fact someone doesn't turn up for games doesn't mean the seat is unsold. One scandal this season is the family area where you have to buy an adult and child together so single seats get left there as unsellable under those conditions
hutch Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 With extortionate pricing like that how do they expect to attract new fans! Not a boot sale in the car park then?
Sour Mash Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 Which helps support my point. You think that single seat has been available for sale every game this season and just not sold? How many single seats do you reckon went unsold for the Coventry promotion home game, because fans just didn't want to buy single seats? How many single seats do you reckon are currently available for the Liverpool home game?

Do you not think that is the case? I think this is rather bizarre. You're telling us that the club would say that tickets were sold out before the event even though there would be people applying for tickets right up to the kick-off who would buy them if they weren't told they were sold out? This is complete nonsense.
saints_is_the_south Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 When the club announced Liverpool was sold out on Thursday morning, there were still single seats available. A mate phoned up and got three after it had been announced as a sell out, so what MLG is saying is right. Seems the club do announce a sell out whilst there are still single seats available, which I find a bit bizarre.

Goatboy Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 Whether the club say it or not, if I can go to the ground and buy a ticket then it is not sold out. If you go to the shops to buy a paper and the shop assistant says "sorry sir, sold out of those", despite you seeing a pile of them on the shelf, would you just say "oh ok then" and go home? Or would you point out that the shop assistant is an obvious moron?

The club get small numbers of returns and comps that are going to be unused that get put on sale, I used that for mates for Chelsea at home. Doesn't mean it isn't sold out when the club announce it.

LGTL Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 I thought we were talking about 200 single seats? Are these all returns? Pretty sure Saints haven't officially announced this game as sold out yet though unless I've missed it.
Sour Mash Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 I thought we were talking about 200 single seats? Are these all returns? Today's game hasn't been announced as a sell out by the club yet I thought.
Goatboy Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 Today's game hasn't been announced as a sell out by the club yet I thought. I am referring to post #7.
krissyboy31 Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 Quid for a kid at Portsmouth next week at home to Hartlepool... They'll want to be paid more than that to persuade them to watch that sh!t (and I don't mean the Monkey Hangers).
krissyboy31 Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 Pretty sure that they don't announce a sell out if they haven't. What they normally do is announce all standard seating gone then push the remaining hospitality. Ofcourse because of the anomlies of what and what's not available and how many aways have been sold. The attendance of a technically sold out game could in theory be lower than one that is not.
The Kraken Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 We may have sold out a number of games but we won't be getting over the magic 32,000 figure any time soon, which we have done in previous years. Much like last season, when our highest attendance was 31,659. The capacity of St Mary's has seemingly been downgraded from the previous 32,689 to 32,505 (or 32,363 if you believe google). Chuck in crowd segregation, corporate areas not selling out and what not, the days of the 32K attendance at St. Mary's are gone.

The Kraken Posted 1 February, 2015 Posted 1 February, 2015 Time to expand? I think today's game suggests nothing more than that a 32,500 stadium is the right size for us. Perhaps we should make a kop end instead?

Do you not think that is the case? If this is correct then it is bizarre! What benefit would the club have in saying a game is sold out if ther is 200 empty seats? Surely we are just throwing money away, people are not going to try for a ticket if it's annonced as sold out? The club have got this wrong if it's correct.

I'm with MLG, it's like restaurant, they will tell you it's fully booked even though not ever seat at every table is taken, and if you offer to go and sit with i.e. the hen party they will just look at you Funny
