stu0x Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 They're not going down further than general sale with purchase history. Even if there are tickets left, it won't open for general sale. The club's been confirming it in emails. So when they take 25 quid off you for an Official Membership, on the basis that one of the specifically advertised benefits is • Priority access to away tickets (after Season Ticket holders) It turns out that's just not true. Membership by itself has no priority whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert7 Posted 30 September, 2016 Share Posted 30 September, 2016 Is it possible to buy an inter ticket using someone else's customer number linked to your account? I see you have to enter name and passport number after selecting ticket so surely you could put anyone's in? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 2 October, 2016 Share Posted 2 October, 2016 they dont have phones or the internet in israel then? Actually the mobile version of the Saints ticket website doesn't allow you to change the name of the person you're buying for, so if you want to buy more than one ticket and get them together, you can't. Plus since the new site there's no longer an option to use the desktop site. So yeah, actually, despite logging on at 11am Israeli time from Tel Aviv airport on Friday I was unable to buy the three tickets together for Sunderland I wanted to.

The9 Posted 2 October, 2016 Share Posted 2 October, 2016 If you get a chance, go to Mike's Place right next door to the American embassy on the beachfront. It is the best bar in Tel Aviv for sports and tends to be the meeting place for ex-pat sports fans generally. Also does wicked chicken wings!! We did. I had the BBQ pork ribs, just to be contrary.

magnet Posted 3 October, 2016 Share Posted 3 October, 2016 I bought one this morning and the most recent purchase history I have on my account is from 2013 (been using our company's corporate account since then). I spoke to somebody at the ticket office yesterday to confirm that this would make me eligible and it went through absolutely fine. I tried to buy my son a ticket this morning but they refused as no recent purchase history even though he used to be a season ticket holder :-( Flights & hotels booked Hmmm what to do.........

niceandfriendly Posted 3 October, 2016 Share Posted 3 October, 2016 Pretty sure the name you enter is the name on the passport, and that has to link up to the name on the ticket (which will be taken from the customer number).Many people have entered different details in the Passport section which didn't match up to the customer number.

tartan_saint Posted 3 October, 2016 Share Posted 3 October, 2016 Many people have entered different details in the Passport section which didn't match up to the customer number. Were able to purchase, receive confirmation and have yet to hear anything otherwise. The system wouldn't be 'intelligent' enough to ensure that the name on the season ticket, matched the name given in the passport details section. This will all need to be done manually by the club. If people have done that expecting to get away with it, I think they're going to be very disappointed. Pretty stupid considering it's gone down to general sale.

Pretty stupid considering it's gone down to general sale. Can't see the club cancelling the tickets personally, especially considering as you say it's going to restricted general sale. It's not worth their bother, and also can't see them manually checking each ticket to make sure it aligns. Doesn't affect me either way but I'm sure these folk won't be disappointed.

tartan_saint Posted 3 October, 2016 Share Posted 3 October, 2016 I do think they will be pretty tight with checks, as if we get through the group, then tickets for the knock-out stages will be prioritised based on who went to the group games.

oldsarum Posted 4 October, 2016 Share Posted 4 October, 2016 Any ideas what we're up to on Inter now? I had London Saints tickets confirmed when away in Israel and last number of our allocation was around 6,500 spoke to ticket office manager at our hotel and he said before Wednesday just over 5,000 had been sold, but expecting to sell 6,530, but I know several people I didn't expect to be going have bought tickets since Wednesday so maybe final figure will be higher than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I couldn't sweet talk them though!) However she did say that "just under a quarter of the 8700 are left" so around 6500 sold. Hopefully they will allow it to go to general sale without history as there may be some still needing this route.

Especially to those that have purchased a membership to get tickets for this game. I know a few who have been to numerous games, home and away, just not under their details. As they don't have a purchase history, they are unable to get a ticket (although they have since brought a membership and tickets to Palace and Leicester games). Will be a shame to see a number of saints 'fans' stuck outside when there are plenty of empty seats in the away end. If you ask me, they are just encouraging people to put down false details.

My son and I are in that same boat. Moved up north in 2011 after 8 straight seasons as S/Ts. Been to loads of northern away games since but tickets have been purchased by friends we sat beside at St Mary's so we could meet up and sit together. This of course means we have no recent purchase history. Seems strange to have negotiated a larger allocation only to see a fair number of sales not taken up due to 'history' criteria. Members or at least an entry on the database would offer as much detail as say, having bought one ticket two seasons ago. Inter at home tickets are currently being promoted alongside purchasing a membership but not the same has been applied to away fixture, even the Israel trip went to general sale! Was informed that due to a system upgrade in 2012 all history prior to that is effectively wiped...! Hopefully the club will have a change of heart and open sales out over the next couple of days and allow more Saints to enjoy the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The customer number remains despite no longer being a season ticket holder. You do not have to buy the tickets yourself. That's the Catch 22 really, as there's a group of them all with S/T & plenty aways, it means tickets together can all be guaranteed at first phase of any sale (usually 2/3 of them don't travel). Our member status would kick in later in sales window and may not even reach us in the case of a popular game. So them purchasing allowed us to make travel plans etc with no fear of disappointment. (Hope that made sense). Strange that having the same customer number for years doesn't meet the 'ad hoc' criteria the club have set for Inter game. No other recent matches have had this particular set of criteria. Usually Members then General if tickets still available. In this case there are plenty still available. Several long chats with various ticket office staff has still left me none the wiser as to why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
