marc_saint Posted 31 July, 2015 Posted 31 July, 2015 (edited) I am except I already have my tickets in my hand. Never got sent my tickets for block 122 though so I'm just going to assume they aren't bothering to send them. On twitter and Vitesse forums it seems that the tickets are being received today to address' in Holland. Perhaps that will land with us tomorrow or Monday. https://twitter.com/YorinSchrader/status/627056900572610560 #Vitesse @SouthamptonFC Tickets just received. #miracle #hoopdoetleven #vitsou Edited 31 July, 2015 by marc_saint
Baldbarbarian Posted 31 July, 2015 Posted 31 July, 2015 Tickets bought for the home end are apparently being posted out today as my mate enquired as to the whereabouts of the tickets. Perhaps they are taking a more relaxed approach about Saints being in the home end?. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

andysstuff Posted 31 July, 2015 Posted 31 July, 2015 There were plenty of them in the Itchen last night so it would only be fair. Rather explains the muted reaction of the couple sitting next to us last night!
VectisSaint Posted 31 July, 2015 Posted 31 July, 2015 Tickets bought for the home end are apparently being posted out today as my mate enquired as to the whereabouts of the tickets. Belated Birthday card from Amsterdam posted 28 July arrived today, going to be touch and go if they arrive before some folks leave for the game. Good luck.
Royston Saint Posted 31 July, 2015 Posted 31 July, 2015 What's needed to pick up tickets from Vitesse? Anyone in block 121? I'm in block 121 but not received my ticket yet
SaintMilesie Posted 31 July, 2015 Posted 31 July, 2015 Why are they idiots ? I was down there at 4am, all the poeple there are true Saints fans who have booked flights and hotels and just want to be sure of a ticket, I think you should look closer to home matey !!!!!
Nexstar Posted 31 July, 2015 Posted 31 July, 2015 "No ticket for next week's trip to @MijnVitesse? They're included in our official travel packages, which are still available. #saintsfc" Any bets on when they'll decide to release the remaining tickets without travel? Can't imagine many people can get the time off and decided to go from now on.

Can't imagine many people can get the time off and decided to go from now on. I know I've rattled on about this a bit, but I can't believe there isn't more of a fuss about this proper p**s take from the club, they've done this very wrong.

Are they only giving out the match tickets with these travel packages on the buses themselves like in the Pompey bubble game?
oldsarum Posted 1 August, 2015 Posted 1 August, 2015 So how many are going over then??? I'd imagine the ticketed 1,400 plus another 500-1,000 ticketless or in the home ends. I have 4 home tickets I bought for mates which need to be collected, my Dutch Saints mates have another 13 which have arrived to them in post for themselves and our Saints mates traveling over so 17 in home end altogether As you suggest I'd say at least 2,000 probably 2,500 travelling over
Pat from Poole Posted 1 August, 2015 Posted 1 August, 2015 A friend of mine bought a block of 20 tickets in the home section while he was in Holland for the friendlies. He bought them from a shop near the ground.
um pahars Posted 1 August, 2015 Posted 1 August, 2015 I know I've rattled on about this a bit, but I can't believe there isn't more of a fuss about this proper p**s take from the club, they've done this very wrong. In their defence, they probably struggled to put these packages together with such short notice, BUT BUT BUT they shouldn't be holding these tickets back now and restricting them to those travelling with them. There are people who meet the eligibility criteria who want to travel independently who would bite their arms off for these tickets. If if they remain unsold, then it would be an absolute travesty.

They do have a much more relaxed attitude to their players & manager joining us than we do for our Liverpool bound counterparts!

This late in the day there is no need surely for the restrictions on away games. I do not see why they couldn't go on general sale as they are not going to sell them now. It will look really poor with a couple of hundred empty seats when people have been desperate for tickets.
Nexstar Posted 1 August, 2015 Posted 1 August, 2015 I have 3 spare adult tickets in the home end, block 121, £10 each. Will be in Arnhem from about 2pm on game day to meet.
VectisSaint Posted 1 August, 2015 Posted 1 August, 2015 There are people who meet the eligibility criteria who want to travel independently who would bite their arms off for these tickets. Other than the cost is there anything to stop them buying the package just for the ticket or are the tickets given out on the coach?
marc_saint Posted 1 August, 2015 Posted 1 August, 2015 Ticket arrived this morning in the post (Saints section) If the ticket that I bought for block 122 arrives in the post before Wednesday then I'll have that to pass on at the Korenmarkt during Thursday.
EuroLeague Posted 1 August, 2015 Posted 1 August, 2015 Just wanted to say congratz on the 3-0 win. We didnt expect anything else;) We had a good time, so ill hope you have fun on thursday. To bad we cant be as loud on home games as were at ST. Mary.
James Posted 1 August, 2015 Posted 1 August, 2015 Guys Very last minute I realise but have a spare for Vitesse away. Can meet outside SMS tomorrow pre espanyol or post to whoever wants it. Obviously only want £11 for it (£1 for booking fee!)

Denzil Posted 2 August, 2015 Posted 2 August, 2015 They were quiet for the majority of the game and only when they realised they were out of the tie then they started doing their happy clappy jumpy around b*llocks. Whores for the camera. Once they realised they were beaten they started playing up. Remind you of anyone??
niceandfriendly Posted 2 August, 2015 Posted 2 August, 2015 Home end tickets have arrived at my Amsterdam hotel from Vitesse website, which is good. Could have one possibly 2 spares available on the day for the home end.
James Posted 2 August, 2015 Posted 2 August, 2015 In the Saints end? I'll definitely take it if so. Yes.

Pamplemousse Posted 2 August, 2015 Posted 2 August, 2015 Referee is Ilias Spathas from Greece. The only thing on wikipedia about him is that he's a suspect in the 2015 Greek football scandal He's been accused of accepting a bribe but nothing has happened to him it seems.
ericb Posted 2 August, 2015 Posted 2 August, 2015 Not sure how many are planning on travelling through london to catch flights on weds/thurs but it's worth knowing that there's a planned tube strike late afternoon on Weds 5th and all day Thurs 6th http://www.londontravelwatch.org.uk/news/view?id=541&x%5B0%5D=news/list which might alter people's travel times.

marc_saint Posted 3 August, 2015 Posted 3 August, 2015 @saintsfccop For the away leg Vitesse Arnhem versus @SouthamptonFC please see next update about bars etc Bars in the Janssteeg area will be welcoming @SouthamptonFC fans, there is a big square which will have a big screen for fans There will be a BBQ from 12:00 on the Thursday, two special outdoor beer bars, an english DJ, it will be a party atmosphere The Big screen will show highlights of @SouthamptonFC during the day, then the match for those without tickets
stevegrant Posted 3 August, 2015 Posted 3 August, 2015 Sounds better than going to the actual game! Just had a DM from them after I had a bit of a whinge in response to that, assuming that we were all going to be herded into the fanzone without the ability to go where we want. Essentially, that's not the case, we can do what we want
Royston Saint Posted 3 August, 2015 Posted 3 August, 2015 Hi James If you still have spare ticket could you please contact me lordfox@hotmail.co.uk I've sent you an email. Could you please ring me
marc_saint Posted 3 August, 2015 Posted 3 August, 2015 @saintsfccop has clarified that it will be in Jansplaats Square. There will be a BBQ from 12:00 on the Thursday, two special outdoor beer bars, an english DJ, it will be a party atmosphere All together now..... 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1....

simo Posted 3 August, 2015 Posted 3 August, 2015 I cancelled my plans to travel out after convincing myself I wouldn't get a ticket , I won't make that mistake next time
marc_saint Posted 3 August, 2015 Posted 3 August, 2015 So we have 1,400 tickets for Thursday night. Any idea on how many are actual travelling over?
aintforever Posted 3 August, 2015 Posted 3 August, 2015 Sounds better than going to the actual game! Does sound good. Especially when in Holland "party atmosphere" usually means an array of drugs and strippers shooting ping pong balls out their arse.
