Sour Mash Posted 13 July, 2015 Share Posted 13 July, 2015 No idea how many we've sold, but I reckon more season tickets than last year. Can anyone see how many tickets we've sold today for the Everton game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alehouseboys Posted 14 July, 2015 Share Posted 14 July, 2015 What's the season ticket record since moving to St. Mary's? I think it was between 22-23,000 and can't see it getting much above that while it remains so easy to watch for free at home/down the pub. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/20150714-season-ticket-availability-now-limited-2545466.aspx Over 20k now but probably unlikely to go much higher, maybe an increase with half-STs in December.

I think I've read somewhere before that it would max out at around 25,000 to always leave a number of tickets available for members/casual fans. But I don't know where you get "6500" for away fans, the most we ever give is just over 3k (and only up to 5k for cup games). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 15 July, 2015 Share Posted 15 July, 2015 Got my ST today. Bearing in mind last time I could afford a ST was in the championship (back when you still had to tear the tickets out of a book) I was pretty impressed by the little package my ST came in nice little saints pin, good info on what benefits your ST gave you inspiring letter from Ralph all in a nice little box...excellent work by the club.

Saint86 Posted 15 July, 2015 Share Posted 15 July, 2015 Just found out that season ticket holders can't buy additional tickets for friends without a membership £25 as well. Bit of a joke tbh, gives membership as much power as season ticket holders without the same commitment. They should at least offer each season ticket the option to buy an additional ticket for at least say 5 home games a year. Basically means they've devalued the season tickets. Joke.

The Cat Posted 15 July, 2015 Share Posted 15 July, 2015 There is a 10% off voucher for purchases in the club shop with the season tickets, I take it this is a one off 10% rather than the season long discount we had last time? I rarely buy stuff in there but for those who love to kit themselves out in Saints gear it could be mildly irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an interesting point, it makes sense for members to have first pick of tickets but they should then give season ticket holders next priority to buy extra seats before finally going on general sale. For the big games when away teams take the full allocation there will still be about 8000 home end tickets on sale which should always mean anyway who wants a ticket and buys on firat day of sale will get one. Worth dropping a email to the ticket office to ask them about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Mash Posted 16 July, 2015 Share Posted 16 July, 2015 Had a quick look on-line, doesn't look like too many tickets for the Everton game have been sold, still tons available, so memberships certainly don't make much difference for middling home games.

mcjwills Posted 16 July, 2015 Share Posted 16 July, 2015 Ex season ticket holder and not a member but my 2p worth, your season ticket entitles you to go to every game and get first divi at cup games etc.. Members have paid for the priveledge of getting first chance after you have bought yours. Why should a season ticket holders mate who is not a member or a season ticket holder not stand in line like everyone else. It certainly does not devalue your season ticket as you still get to see every game and first oportunity for any games not covered by your season ticket.

Give me a good and valid reason why a season ticket holders mate who is too tight to get a membership have any priority over anyone else? As stated previously I do not have a season ticket or membership. I do have a fair few season ticket holding associates who by your reasoning could put me further up the queue but I still think I should wait in line with the rest of the tight wads not prepared to pay for the priveledge of getting tickets early.
