parkgatesaint Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 anybody got inside knowledge on how many sold so far ?
Pastor Patrón Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 Sorry champ too late, Spurs snapped them all up on early bird rates
The Cat Posted 13 July, 2015 Posted 13 July, 2015 3 out of 4 people in our house have one. Extrapolate that through the city and surrounding areas I make it about 295892 sold.

Sour Mash Posted 13 July, 2015 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?
Saint Charlie Posted 14 July, 2015 Posted 14 July, 2015 More than 20k STs sold according to Saints tweet. Should mean most games are sold out this season I would imagine.
trousers Posted 14 July, 2015 Posted 14 July, 2015 Could do with a bigger stadium I reckon.. On your marks, get set.....
pillock69 Posted 14 July, 2015 Posted 14 July, 2015 What's the season ticket record since moving to St. Mary's?
The Cat Posted 14 July, 2015 Posted 14 July, 2015 Francis Benali hasn't bought his yet, so add one more to the total. Source: Francis Benali.
suewhistle Posted 14 July, 2015 Posted 14 July, 2015 (edited) Could do with a bigger stadium I reckon.. On your marks, get set..... Too early in the morning for popcorn and a beer.. Incidentally... I haven't received mine yet; when do they get sent out? Edited 14 July, 2015 by suewhistle Incidentally..
VectisSaint Posted 14 July, 2015 Posted 14 July, 2015 Incidentally... I haven't received mine yet; when do they get sent out? Sue, haven't received mine yet either (the post just arrived). I received mail from the Club on Thursday that at least implied they had been sent, and some people have received theirs. I was expecting them yesterday, but I guess it may be another day or so.
Matthew Le God Posted 14 July, 2015 Posted 14 July, 2015 20000 and counting... More than 20k STs sold according to Saints tweet. Should mean most games are sold out this season I would imagine. That is more than the capacity the health & safety executive currently allows at Fratton Park.
Whitey Grandad Posted 14 July, 2015 Posted 14 July, 2015 Mine haven't turned up either I'm always a bit apprehensive until they arrive because I never get a proper acknowledgement of my payments detailing seat numbers.
alehouseboys Posted 14 July, 2015 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.
The Cat Posted 14 July, 2015 Posted 14 July, 2015 Sue, haven't received mine yet either (the post just arrived). I received mail from the Club on Thursday that at least implied they had been sent, and some people have received theirs. I was expecting them yesterday, but I guess it may be another day or so. I got mine through yesterday. Apparently they send them out to the best and most dedicated fans first.
Saint_Ash Posted 14 July, 2015 Posted 14 July, 2015 Sue, haven't received mine yet either (the post just arrived). I received mail from the Club on Thursday that at least implied they had been sent, and some people have received theirs. I was expecting them yesterday, but I guess it may be another day or so. Same as, email sent Thursday but still awaiting.
VectisSaint Posted 14 July, 2015 Posted 14 July, 2015 I got mine through yesterday. Apparently they send them out to the best and most dedicated fans first. That would explain it. Should get mine around Christmas then :-) Usually alphabetical order benefits me.
VectisSaint Posted 14 July, 2015 Posted 14 July, 2015 eh? V is after S. ;-) Aha, but I'm not really called Mr Vectis, just like I assume you aren't called Ms Whistle (or Ms Sue) :-) Then again perhaps you are.

I know a season ticket doesn't include cup games but you would expect all to have that option.

I know a season ticket doesn't include cup games but you would expect all to have that option. 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).

I know a season ticket doesn't include cup games but you would expect all to have that option. 10% of 32,000 = £6500?

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). Sorry, yes it should be 4500 away fans. This would then take season tickets available up around your suggested 25,000.
CB Fry Posted 14 July, 2015 Posted 14 July, 2015 Sorry, yes it should be 4500 away fans. This would then take season tickets available up around your suggested 25,000. It's about 3,000 away fans. Cup games are more but then ST don't count then.
Appy Posted 14 July, 2015 Posted 14 July, 2015 I'm waiting to see if we are any good against Groningen
suewhistle Posted 14 July, 2015 Posted 14 July, 2015 Aha, but I'm not really called Mr Vectis, just like I assume you aren't called Ms Whistle (or Ms Sue) :-) Then again perhaps you are. Well, I'm going to Vectis tomorrow morning for an overnighter, so I'll bring me dictionary so we can check..
kitch Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 Anyone received their membership card yet? I've had the confirmation emails etc, but still not seen the card, nor is my ID recognised as a member on the website.
ScottishSaint79 Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 I emailed about membership card and was told it will be mailed out in next couple of weeks. I was able to buy Everton ticket on Monday as my membership was recognised.
doddisalegend Posted 15 July, 2015 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.
teamsaint Posted 15 July, 2015 Posted 15 July, 2015 just ordered membership, and it gave me a number around 3500
Saint86 Posted 15 July, 2015 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.

Membership is for wnkers.
The Cat Posted 15 July, 2015 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.

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. 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.
Sour Mash Posted 16 July, 2015 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.
teamsaint Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 are members restricted to one ticket per membership prior to general sale? couldn't see this clarified anywhere.
Colinjb Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 are members restricted to one ticket per membership prior to general sale? couldn't see this clarified anywhere. I was. So assume so. Incidentally, looks as though there will be membership cards on their way. The tickets are said to be 'uploaded' when purchased. So that would I assume be to the card.

In fairness, the first game of the season at home rarely sells out. Holidays, etc.
mcjwills Posted 16 July, 2015 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.
ScottishSaint79 Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 are members restricted to one ticket per membership prior to general sale? couldn't see this clarified anywhere. I don't think they are sure it states that when members buy a ticket its uploaded to their card however any additional tickets will be posted out or available as print at home.

I think priority for home games should go Members - then season ticket holders - then General Sale. That would fairest.
Sour Mash Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 In fairness, the first game of the season at home rarely sells out. Holidays, etc. Guess so, that just why I thought its a middling game, not highest popularity, but reasonable opposition, first league home game etc, must be a bit of demand.

I just logged in with my season ticket details and I can buy extra tickets, so it appears you can buy extra when they go on general sale, but members get first chance to buy, which is fair enough IMO

As somebody who lives away from the area, a ST is not an option, but Membership Scheme gives me a fighting chance of getting a ticket when I'm back home.
mcjwills Posted 16 July, 2015 Posted 16 July, 2015 I think priority for home games should go Members - then season ticket holders - then General Sale. That would fairest. 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.
