Roger Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Just wondering am a season ticket holder but can't go myself as on holiday.
Toadhall Saint Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Then why are you bothered/wondering? Or are you worrying that cos your not there we will be one off capacity? [emoji3]
The9 Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 I don't think it'll sell out because Vitesse won't sell out the away end and we'll probably also have a load of empties in Block 43 due to our occasional fans being put off by it being a Thursday night.
Lighthouse Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 £15 for our first European game in 12 years. You'd think so. FWIW I booked my ticket today and there was limited availability in the Northam. Only about 3 seats in block 42 when I looked.
Unbelievable Jeff Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 When I find out kick off time I'll decide, cos if 6pm kick off I can't get there in time.
Jonnyboy Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 Will Kylie ever get married? Only to me :thumbup::thumbup:
Roger Posted 21 July, 2015 Author Posted 21 July, 2015 Will Kylie ever get married? Haven't grown up yet have you.
Pat from Poole Posted 21 July, 2015 Posted 21 July, 2015 £15 for our first European game in 12 years. You'd think so. FWIW I booked my ticket today and there was limited availability in the Northam. Only about 3 seats in block 42 when I looked. But doesn't that assume that all ST holders in the Northam buy their seats, rather than represent what's actually been sold? Seats allocated to ST holders would presumably not show up as available until the window ends for ST holders to buy their seats (?).
Saint_clark Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 But doesn't that assume that all ST holders in the Northam buy their seats, rather than represent what's actually been sold? Seats allocated to ST holders would presumably not show up as available until the window ends for ST holders to buy their seats (?). Yes, but the amount of season ticket holders who can't make the game will be tiny.
Saint_Jonny Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 11,000 sold as of last night according to Saints Twitter feed.
Whitey Grandad Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 It won't sell out but it's crazy that it won't! What number would you consider a sellout? The problem with the current system is that there will be a lot of isolated single seats left which are much more difficult to sell. I think a percentage is more significant.
teamsaint Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 Yes, but the amount of season ticket holders who can't make the game will be tiny. well 11000 sold to both ST holders and members, out of about 23 k total ST holders and Members in the first two days suggests that quite a large number of ST holders won't be there.
Mattio Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 What number would you consider a sellout? The problem with the current system is that there will be a lot of isolated single seats left which are much more difficult to sell. I think a percentage is more significant.Anything over 28k would be decent but I reckon it'll be more like 23k.
SFCRedandWhite Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 well 11000 sold to both ST holders and members, out of about 23 k total ST holders and Members in the first two days suggests that quite a large number of ST holders won't be there. It's one per customer number, so it's likely many people are just waiting till General to buy their tickets along with other non memebers or season ticket holders
View From The Top Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 Just found out that I'm in Soton that night before heading to France so that means the lad and I can go. Happy days.
Saint IQ Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 (edited) £15 for our first European game in 12 years. You'd think so. FWIW I booked my ticket today and there was limited availability in the Northam. Only about 3 seats in block 42 when I looked. Block 43 has 'very good' availablity and 44 'Good' Availablity. That's where the stingy buggers like me without a membership will be when it goes to general sale. I think it will be near sell out due to prices and stingy buggers like me waiting for general sale. Edited 22 July, 2015 by Saint IQ
Pat from Poole Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 I reckon there'll be about 25,000 there on the night. I don't see us having a sell-out until the United game on Sep 20.
spyinthesky Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 I reckon there'll be about 25,000 there on the night. I don't see us having a sell-out until the United game on Sep 20. We should be looking at a figure around the 28-30k mark due to the prices and general 'feel good' factor atm (and that from me a glass half empty merchant West Ham sold out for both their prelim games
SaintLondon Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 Anyone know what time KO is? I'll be coming from London so 6pm will be too early..
Golden Balls Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 I would predict a decent sized walk up. Don't think it will sell our though. Europa League qualifying rounds don't excite the Sky Sport football fan generation. I'm surprised Saints don't do more advertising around the city regarding tickets/games that are less likely to sell out. When I'm in London I see it all the time for the likes of West Ham, Palace etc. Not everyone has Twitter and Facebook despite what they might think.
suewhistle Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 It's one per customer number, so it's likely many people are just waiting till General to buy their tickets along with other non memebers or season ticket holders Exactly. I'd like to take a friend and obviously sit with them (!) so am waiting for general sale.
Dimond Geezer Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 It's one per customer number, so it's likely many people are just waiting till General to buy their tickets along with other non memebers or season ticket holders This: My nipper & his band of pre uni time wasters are waiting until Thursday, there's nearly 20 of them, a mixture of STHs, members & non members. Pleased they won't be sat near me though :-)
Whitey Grandad Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 Anyone know what time KO is? I'll be coming from London so 6pm will be too early.. 20:05 (UK time) according to Vitesse. Saints website still says tbc.
UpweySaint Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 20:05 (UK time) according to Vitesse. Saints website still says tbc. This might sound stupid but are they likely, or able to, change the time once they have sold tickets for the game?
Whitey Grandad Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 This might sound stupid but are they likely, or able to, change the time once they have sold tickets for the game? http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/uefaorg/Regulations/02/23/69/59/2236959_DOWNLOAD.pdf Page 23: 22.01 As a rule, matches in the UEFA Europa League kick off at 19.00CET or 21.05CET. The UEFA administration sets the kick-off times on the basis of the draw. Exceptions to this rule can be made by the UEFA administration. CET is of course one hour ahead of us. 'As a rule' could mean anything but seems pretty definite.

marc_saint Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 Vitesse have sold 1100 of their 1700 allocation so far
Sour Mash Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 Vitesse have sold 1100 of their 1700 allocation so far Bloody good going, where did you see that.
krissyboy31 Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/uefaorg/Regulations/02/23/69/59/2236959_DOWNLOAD.pdf Page 23: 22.01 As a rule, matches in the UEFA Europa League kick off at 19.00CET or 21.05CET. The UEFA administration sets the kick-off times on the basis of the draw. Exceptions to this rule can be made by the UEFA administration. CET is of course one hour ahead of us. 'As a rule' could mean anything but seems pretty definite. I think the earlier kick off times are for the eastern European time zones. As UK, Ireland, Iceland and Portugal have the latest European time zone, it's always likely to be the later of the times (tv scheduling pending).
Monk Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 Disgusted with Saints, on GS tomorrow but still only one per customer number!?!?!?!
Sour Mash Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 Disgusted with Saints, on GS tomorrow but still only one per customer number!?!?!?! Why is that disgusting?
Matthew Le God Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 As the tickets automatically go on your season ticket card, how can they justify charging me £3 of admin fees for 3 tickets?
Saint_clark Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 Disgusted with Saints, on GS tomorrow but still only one per customer number!?!?!?! How is that general sale? Surely general sale would be open to anyone?
oldsarum Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 How is that general sale? Surely general sale would be open to anyone? The way I read it is that you can buy more than one ticket, but if you want it recorded on your purchase history make sure you give them your customer number
Batman Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 As the tickets automatically go on your season ticket card, how can they justify charging me £3 of admin fees for 3 tickets? Cortese out!!!
sadoldgit Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 So we have gone to worrying about players leaving and not buying a replacement for Toby yet to worrying about if we will sell out in a Europa qualifier. What next? Should we worry about the weather forecast for the game?
Saint Charlie Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 So we have gone to worrying about players leaving and not buying a replacement for Toby yet to worrying about if we will sell out in a Europa qualifier. What next? Should we worry about the weather forecast for the game? Is it not a question rather than a worry? To see a worry element to it suggests you were worrying about the thread, which is worse than writing it.
sadoldgit Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 Is it not a question rather than a worry? To see a worry element to it suggests you were worrying about the thread, which is worse than writing it. Okay, but it is a strange question don't you think? Really, when you woke up this morning did you ask yourself, I wonder if we will sell out against Vitesse? I didn't. I asked myself cereals or toast? I wasnt worried before, but now I know these things are an issue, I find myself worrying if we will sell our away allocation against Norwich this season. What do you think?
Monk Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 Disgusting comment was a bit rash, you can buy as many tickets as you like but need to have a name an address for the people your buying for. They will then set up the customer number. Still not as easy as it use to be.
UpweySaint Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 Anybody else stuck buying tickets? It keeps saying I need to be a member or a ST holder, I thought this was the general sale?
Bananaman Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 Anybody else stuck buying tickets? It keeps saying I need to be a member or a ST holder, I thought this was the general sale? no, sorry, mine went straight through at 9
Saint_Jonny Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 Anybody else stuck buying tickets? It keeps saying I need to be a member or a ST holder, I thought this was the general sale? I'm in a queue to buy tickets for half my office, hoping that it really is "general sale" and I don't need sodding customer numbers for everyone who is just coming along for a crack.
UpweySaint Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 no, sorry, mine went straight through at 9 Cheers, have tried logging back in as I could see no reason it was not working but am now stuck in a 45 min queue ... Does anybody have an idea how much availability is left?
UpweySaint Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 Over half the stadium is free. Seriously don't worry. You can login tonight and still get a ticket. Thanks! With the long queue I assumed the tickets would be flying like hot cakes, also, according to the source of knowledge that is twitter, I am far from alone in having an issue with the ticketing site.
The Cat Posted 23 July, 2015 Posted 23 July, 2015 Queues at the ground are big apparently. They have the fences out to form a zig zag and the queue goes back past the statue.
