Nordic Saint Posted 20 May, 2016 Share Posted 20 May, 2016 According to the official site, season ticket sales are up by a thousand on this time last year, with more than 90% already renewing. But, the really big increase is going to come next week when new season tickets go on sale. I predict they will sell out very quickly so should the club raise the limit of the number they sell? This would probably ensure every home game next season is sold out but it would limit the number of new fans who could come to individual games. Pity we don't have a capacity of around 40,000 which would be just about right at this stage of the club's growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a year away I bought new again Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk No, existing season ticket holders could change their seats, but brand new buyers couldn't buy season tickets. On Monday, they will go on sale for the first time to members. After that, they will go on sale to non-members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weston Saint Posted 20 May, 2016 Share Posted 20 May, 2016 No, existing season ticket holders could change their seats, but brand new buyers couldn't buy season tickets. On Monday, they will go on sale for the first time to members. After that, they will go on sale to non-members. Wrong I am afraid. My brother bought a season ticket for the first time on the first day renewals were started. I just emailed the club to confirm the seat he wanted was not held by a season ticket holder (we knew it was not) and they told us to come down to sign up which we did. Non seaon holder tickets seats were on sale from day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Balls Posted 20 May, 2016 Share Posted 20 May, 2016 Should sell as many as we can. If supply then outweighs demand consistently, expand the stadium. It's the logical way to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably going by this sentence on the OS: "Season Tickets are currently off sale after the renewal deadline passed on Monday, but they will be available to Official Members again from Monday 23rd May, before general sale starts on Wednesday 25th May." http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/20160520-season-ticket-update-southampton-2016-17-3119757.aspx I quick glance at that could be understandably lead someone to believe that the first time season tickets go on 'general sale' is next week.

VectisSaint Posted 20 May, 2016 Share Posted 20 May, 2016 I thought there was a period when season ticket holders could change their seat before they went on general sale. Have I missed that? No big deal just wanted to shift along one seat to the end of the row (as I know the fella there is not renewing). I did not get an option to change seat when I renewed.

Yet it's been confirmed new sales have been taken too. Renewals with a request to move should be complete before open sale, surely, esp given price changes for next season?

I stopped having a Season Ticket two years ago because I could only get to around 10 matches a year, but have had no problems getting seats as a Member, so far. I am concerned that tickets may become more difficult to buy if ST membership grows too much. Definitely time to increase stadium seating capacity.

Saint IQ Posted 27 May, 2016 Share Posted 27 May, 2016 Great news, hopefully an expansion next summer. Always maintained that if tickets were reduced I think we could easily fill 40k per week maybe even 45k for some games. Now it looks like we could get 35k minimum at these prices.

What if the sky should fall? By your reasoning nothing would ever get done. One of the reasons for our form nosediving might be lack of growth and therefore investment.
