marc_saint Posted 31 July, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldbarbarian Posted 31 July, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royston Saint Posted 31 July, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintMilesie Posted 31 July, 2015 Share 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 Share 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?

oldsarum Posted 1 August, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat from Poole Posted 1 August, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_saint Posted 1 August, 2015 Share 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.

Denzil Posted 2 August, 2015 Share 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.
