I think I saw somewhere that they come off sale at midday on Monday.

Awesome, I'll grab for her some tomorrow - cheers

Do you definitely know this? Are you assuming this? Is there any instruction to take ID with you on the ticket?

 

That's what it says here and the club have been saying this since tickets went on sale

Had to go to the collection office in Shirley to collect ours today. The PO lady handed me the envelope and said see you are going to Milan then, these are your tickets, we have absolutely hundreds of them awaiting collection.

 

I would expect that in the Post Office in Shirley, but I had a similar conversation in the Post Office in Falkirk, Central Scotland. It's a small world and here was me thinking me and my daughter were the only Saints fans living in Falkirk

They check everyone's passport.

Cheers, I am just baffled that where it says leave valuables and spare cash in Hotel, it is encouraging to take your passport to the match after stating pickpockets are about? Are the really going to check peoples passports against the name on the ticket?

[Shroppie]

Yep, but hopefully in Milan they've built some hotels as I was intending to leave it there.

I never leave my passport in a hotel. And you WILL need it to get into the match.

I'm a newbie to this forum and have been waiting for a good opportunity to say hello.

 

You seriously think it's a good idea for 7,500 of us to ignore our ticket numbers and plonk ourselves down (or up) anywhere we like?

Brilliant idea!

Never a problem at England games with numbers upto that sometimes, never sat in my own seat

Not sure you can draw lessons from England games where supporters likely travel away a lot and have had many more opportunities and iterations to set groundrules. Let's just say that whenever we take large numbers away, there are always plenty of people insisting on sitting in their seat numbers. If our ends are full up, it doesnt take many for that to spread.

I think in the UK its the stewards that have a big impact, making sure youre going up the right section before you even get to your seat, abroad they don't bother and certainly didnt in Turin when England played last time, so many people going knowing others and buying seperately due to the eligibility will mean people will group with their mates

Exactly this. I have zero intention of sitting in my allocated seat, me and my mates all bought on separate days due to eligibility, no doubt meeting up with others there and will travel in together. Just rock up, find a decent space with your pals and get behind the lads.

 

By the way, anyone that has bought tickets on others names etc I can confirm nail varnish remover removes the biro name off the ticket piece of ****.

 

Up the Saints!

Good point about the differences in stewarding.

[Pamplemousse]

Inter Milan have got a few problems of their own it seems. The fans do not like the captain Icardi

Just reading the download pack and unless I have missed it, it doesn't say about taking passport to the game? Do we have to take a passport or will a DL do?

It came on email on Saturday. The email that's linked to your online ticket account

The download pack also says "Bags are prohibited". That is ridic, we don't land till 16:30, so with security etc we are going to have to go straight to the game. We won't have a hotel either as fly back out at 07:30 on the Friday so was going to just go straight to airport after drinking. How can they ban bags?

Rather hoping most who have gone to Israel are already sorted. Going to be a proper bunfight at midday.

Don't think it matters about the name on the ticket. They put my Mrs maiden name on hers. When I rang the ticket office to tell them, they just changed it on the database, not on the ticket. They must check it on the computer when you go in.

I'm assuming it will be best to call on the phone rather than internet it?

It's their ground, so they can ban bags if they want to. If you're not staying over, what will you have with you in your bags?

 

Perhaps leave any bags you have in a left luggage at the airport or a train station?

 

Landing at 4.30 for a 7 pm kickoff is cutting it very fine. Only takes an ATC delay or the incoming flight misses it's slot and you could well miss Kick off.

They're only available online.

Would've been if purchase history wasn't required.

[ladysaint]

Disappointed we didn't sell out. Know quite a few who are going without tickets even though they are on the database as ex season ticket holders but with no recent purchase history.

Same here. Hopefully they'll be able to get in quietly in the side sections

On one hand that's great as i'd rather not being walking around Milan all day and evening with my passport in my pocket but on the other hand it makes a mockery of them saying that ID had to be shown at the game with the correct ID. It'll only take two minutes of cutting and pasting on powerpoint to put the correct photo on your mates passport and then turning up with that "photocopy"

Passport photocopies are generally accepted in most countries by police for spot checks - if they have any reason to question you further or arrest you, they would take you to fetch the original document.

What about a photo on your phone of your passport? Amounts to the same thing as a paper copy surely?

[mungo92]

My mate got his ticket on someone elses membership number, subsequently has a different name on his ticket to that on his passport. Think he'll have trouble getting in?

 

Read some people have tickets with names crossed out, might be worth doing?

The club claim that the bar code on the ticket will show details at turnstiles,the reason they wrote the names in biro was so that people know they've got the right ticket . My mates surname was spelt wrong , they told him not to worry as they wont take the name written on the ticket but the barcode details . Whether that's true or not , who knows

Thanks for this! When we purchased the tickets we put his passport details in. I read on a few threads that people had been phoned up with their tickets cancelled, not his though! We didnt receive any phonecall. Guess we'll just wait and see what happens on the night.

Think there is a bit of BS being spun, we got one of the tickets for our foursome on anothers season ticket, entered the person who is actually goings details on the application, it turned up with the ST owners name on. I thought that's going to be a bugger having read the email sent out last week, so played a straight bat at the ticket office on Sunday and the response from behind the glass was basically "tough whatsit" it said that tickets would only be issued to the name on the account "it says it on the website". My mate went along with this wrong ticket and his son who it was for, and the lad behind the glass he saw couldn't be more helpful, changed everything without any hassle (yet)........... so no trying not to look guilty on Thursday.

So that leads me to believe that there is no secret code in the numbers on the tickets otherwise the name on the ticket would mean diddly squat, and we would have been told "not to worry as the details entered when the ticket was bought are embedded within it".

I think he'll be alright, i'm not convinced they will check tickets at all.

 

They said they'd be checking flags (for fire certificate) in Israel... As far as i'm aware, that never happened.

Official site says i need to buy Hapoel BS before getting a ticket to Sparta Prague away. No explanation. What on earth is this and where/how do i get it? anyone know? why is it so difficult to buy a ticket?
