Big Dick Last Posted 26 September, 2016 Share Posted 26 September, 2016 The problem with the corporate argument is that they pay an awful lot of money for their box. Part of their deal could be Europa tickets. Some of the people on here bleating about not getting a ticket do not even go to St Marys every week !

AK Posted 26 September, 2016 Share Posted 26 September, 2016 Love the argument that if you fork out £50k a year for a box you are not a proper fan. It's in the term and conditions seasonal box holders get a priority window for away tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in the term and conditions seasonal box holders get a priority window for away tickets. Didn't mean it like that. For starters companies buy boxes to sweeten clients etc. Also, not all corporate tickets are for boxes. In fact I'd say 90% of them aren't for boxes. You don't need 900 corporate tickets for a sought after game in a stadium that only holds 1,700 away fans. It's a joke. Obviously the boxes that are bought by genuine fans are a different story but me and my mate are getting tickets at the expense of people that go to many more games than us. Just saying.

I'm on my way back from Israel so have two tickets going for face value, and have to shift them on by tomorrow (see Buy/Sell for details)... http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?57194-For-Sale-Football-Ramble-LIVE-in-Winchester-this-Friday-30-September-8pm#.V-mQocvTXqA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough - but I don't suppose it's that different than if I had managed to get to Israel this week -I would have been guaranteed a Prague ticket. Would I have been more deserving than someone who did 15+ always last season just for doing that one trip? Not easy trying to get these things right / fair I guess.

I just don't think 900 corporate tickets for that game is right imo. 50% is way to much. Should be about 10%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurosaint Posted 27 September, 2016 Share Posted 27 September, 2016 Thanks for the replies re Inter Away, I will still be surprised if we shift all 8,700. I wish I was going to Israel, but just not possible to go this week. It would have been cracking to have my only always for the season as Israel,Czech Rebublic and Italy !Out of interest did any ST holders who bought the home game bundle on-line receive tickets for all 3 matches or just Sparta like me? Ticket office have told me that no-one who ordered the bundle on-line has received the tickets for the other two matches yet. Strange one this, we had a chat about it at the Swansea match and 2 out of the 5 of us already had tickets for the whole bundle whereas the other 3 only had only received the Sparta one ! As we are all ST holders you would have thought that the same process would apply but apparently not. TBF, the two who got the bundle had gone to the stadium to collect and the others (including me) did it online ! Seems odd that you sell a bundle and then separate when surely admin/postage costs are better applied once than 3 times ! Maybe someone on here can explain it to me ??

Fortunately they sorted it for the rest and i've now received all my tickets, be interesting to see if they have sold my seat again as well.
