Shroppie Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Everyone 6 and above will get one for sure. Below that and it will be a lottery. Going to be critical for me whether cup games count. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk
onthemarch Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 would greatly appreciate 2 spare season tickets if anyone can help. Have booked accom/flights for 2 as a surprise bday present - am happy to reward any one who can help with some beer tokens....only got a few aways on our s/t's
ericb Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Going to be critical for me whether cup games count. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk can't see why they wouldn't be, cup aways have always counted for normal away tickets. I assume the only ones that won't will be the Newcastle away game as the date hasn't passed yet (which was their criteria last season)
The9 Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 There can't be 1200 Saints fans with more than 7 aways last season I shouldn't think... I think people with 4 or 5 might possibly have a chance even if they phase it, not everyone is going to be able to go, and some will be put off by prices if they haven't already booked. If it's only 1200 it won't get past ST holders unless they specifically hold some back. If it's nearer 2000 I think any ST holders with more than 4 will be ok and it might go to a wider group. My main concern is not actually knowing how many I'm going to have that count, because the club changes the criteria all the time and also has and hasn't counted the first game of last season due to it coming before the cut-off calculation... and many many more. I have at least 7 and possibly 10, I think. Plus thanks to their policy on carers and my disabled mate being crap at allocating the numbers when we go with him, there are numerous other random factors affecting whether or not me and the missus might be able to get tickets in the same window, etc. They should really have a quick lookup so there are no surprises.

I assume the only ones that won't will be the Newcastle away game as the date hasn't passed yet (which was their criteria last season) They haven't, they often didn't count cup aways previously. I've had to wait for later windows due to it a few times.
beavis17 Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 For those that bought tickets on Vitesse's website, have you been charged yet?
onthemarch Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 For those that bought tickets on Vitesse's website, have you been charged yet? yes - went through
Window Cleaner Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 For those that bought tickets on Vitesse's website, have you been charged yet? Why would they not? Vitesse are probably quite pleased with all the extra sales, don't think they sell out all that many games.
dubai_phil Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 For those that bought tickets on Vitesse's website, have you been charged yet? Yes but I bought using a Dubai Credit Card & address with a stadium pick up. (We can wave local ID and do the whole Tourists Routine). If need be I have some Dutch FB friends who have said they would order for me and get delivered to them in Holland before meeting up Wednesday, couple are even considering coming to the game with us. They reckoned that the worst they would do is cancel any UK based transactions but everyone thinks it is highly unlikely. #GlobalSFC are all interlinked now and in a plan B situation, we have a big Dutch following and I am sure they will tweet/FB nearer the time. The various groups with fans travelling to the game (inc the crazy Auddies) are already communicating
marc_saint Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 For those that bought tickets on Vitesse's website, have you been charged yet? Just looking at my two card accounts (can't remember which I used) and I can't see it listed on there. so guessing they didn't take it. I "bought" mine early on aswell. (Friday afternoon) I've got a friend living in Holland whose going to the game so might need to give him a shout.
hypochondriac Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 For those that bought tickets on Vitesse's website, have you been charged yet? Yep.
Saint Charlie Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Will do well to sellout I think because should be a decent crowd.
The Cat Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 We should have a near sell out I'd imagine. After all it's the first game of the season and is dirt cheap.
Mouldy Coat Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Tickets for the home end are available try blocks 122-120 as most saints fans are in there anyway
alehouseboys Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Well, as aways must be charged the same as home fans this is crazy cheap... http://www.vitesse.nl/nl/eersteelftal/matchcenter/match/671/vitesse/southampton (right-click to translate) 10 Euros (£7) adults and 6 Euros (£4) U16s for the North Stand (Noord Tribune) where Saints fans will be located.
positivepete Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 For those that bought tickets on Vitesse's website, have you been charged yet? Just checked, not yet.
ericofarabia Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Tickets for the home end are available try blocks 122-120 as most saints fans are in there anyway OK ... bit my tongue long enough ...... and this isn't aimed specifically at you Mouldy, Blocks 120 - 122 are on the side, not at the end of the ground Every where I look, not just on here, but The Echo, The UI and Twitter people keep banging on about Saints Fans buying tickets in the Home End .... aaaaarrrrrggggghhhh. Phew .... that feels better

saintsforlife7 Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Has this been added to the Vitesse website recently or has it been there the whole time: Fans of Southampton FC can only buy tickets for the away-stand section. Please check the official website of Southampton or details about the tickets. Dutch supporters of Southampton FC need to buy their tickets at the official club channels of the English Premier League club.
The9 Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 They're all "ends", you just need to consider the "end" behind the touchline not the goal-line.
Lets B Avenue Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 They're all "ends", you just need to consider the "end" behind the touchline not the goal-line. Which "end" were you in at Ten Acres tonight. 2-1?

Wonder what this means re the tickets which they've already sold in home sections to Saints fans.
stevegrant Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Mmmm, interesting. Wonder what this means re the tickets which they've already sold in home sections to Saints fans. In reality, probably **** all. As long as people aren't acting like ****s, they'll let everyone in.

English fans of vitesse should be ok to buy through the vitesse website right
The9 Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 so if dutch supporters of southampton are ok to buy tickets throught the saintsfc website then ........ English fans of vitesse should be ok to buy through the vitesse website right English fans of Vitesse aren't going to struggle to get tickets.
The9 Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Which "end" were you in at Ten Acres tonight. 2-1? I was in the end with the astropitches behind in the first half, and the end end at the far end behind the goal second half...
Pat from Poole Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 In reality, probably **** all. As long as people aren't acting like ****s, they'll let everyone in. I'm not so sure. They could insist on those tickets being collection at ticket office only, with some proof required of being a Vitesse fan. Depends on what the dibble tell them to do, I guess.
Mouldy Coat Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Anyway we only have to wait till tomorrow. Personally I think we'll get more than 1200 as I am sure the area behind the goal alone holds that. Let's see what Saints are saying, selfishly I'm sorted either way so not too bothered.
hypochondriac Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 I'm not so sure. They could insist on those tickets being collection at ticket office only, with some proof required of being a Vitesse fan.

marc_saint Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 In reality, probably **** all. As long as people aren't acting like ****s, they'll let everyone in. Even the police are being very non committal about it
wild-saint Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Even the police are being very non committal about it last resort will be offering a turnstile operator a wad of cash to let me in. eveyone has a price
hypochondriac Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 last resort will be offering a turnstile operator a wad of cash to let me in. eveyone has a price I'll be hitting up Dutch forums.
Whitey Grandad Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Looks like I'll be buying a Vitesse shirt then. What's Dutch for "tickets please"? Ticketsh pleash.
Jack Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 Ticketsh pleash. This. YouTube 'Steve McClaren Dutch interview' for help with the accent if you're unsure.
JRM Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 Looks like I'll be buying a Vitesse shirt then. What's Dutch for "tickets please"? I'm sure a half and half scarf will be sufficient. I wonder how Vitesse ticket sales are going for their trip here, they'll be getting ready to set off this time next week. I've got a feeling that we might get a few more tickets, if it was just the usual 1200 away end that would have been easy for them to agree on and announce rather than waiting 6 days faffing.
marc_saint Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 Just looking at my two card accounts (can't remember which I used) and I can't see it listed on there. so guessing they didn't take it.

Depends on what the dibble tell them to do, I guess. Seriously, it's infinitely more hassle for them to kick up a fuss at the turnstile than it is to let people in and then control the crowd inside the ground.
Polaroid Saint Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 Anyone else on this bus? http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?54670-Vitesse-Away-Leg-Travel#.Va9yIflVhBc Do we trust it? Was going to drive but this is tempting..! If it's not sold out of course.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 Apologies for my ignorance, but if we get past Vitesse, then what? I notice on the UEFA website it says there is a play-off round after the 3rd qualifying round, does that concern us? I’ve been offered a ticket for the 1st day of the Oval test match on the 20th August, but notice this play-off round first leg falls on that date. Would we be playing then?

I have a ticket for Day 2 on the Friday, which will be touch-and-go if we get through and are away first. If we were to get a draw against someone with early flights back into Gatwick on the Friday morning, or if we were drawn at home first again, then I'd be fine.

Yes If we win we have a 2 leg play off round to get through before we have the group stages proper
ericb Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 So i called the ticket office this morning (to check the number of aways is correct on my ticket as they've screwed it up in the past) and the man at the end said cup away games will count for the Vitesse away leg. Couldn't give anymore details from that but i figured a few here would want to know that info.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 Yep. I have a ticket for Day 2 on the Friday, which will be touch-and-go if we get through and are away first. If we were to get a draw against someone with early flights back into Gatwick on the Friday morning, or if we were drawn at home first again, then I'd be fine. That's alright then, sorted. Typical my mate only has a 1st day ticket spare... Yes If we win we have a 2 leg play off round to get through before we have the group stages proper Cheers. Do we know when the draw for that round will take place, should we go through?
