S-Clarke Posted 16 March, 2018 Share Posted 16 March, 2018 Surely people always thought this was a possibility though?

This is all Arsenal's call. I thought as long as there is a 72 hour gap between games it is okay? ffs, luckily it's only Arsenal and not a Manchester/northern team so train fares couldn't fluctuate for me anyway, but still annoying as I was rather looking forward to a game under the lights in London!

Shroppie Posted 17 March, 2018 Share Posted 17 March, 2018 What really annoys us that it's for Arsenal's convenience. They'd rather have a short gap between their home game on Thurs and Sun, or a shorter gap when they're off to Russia. I assume TV have also influenced this. Have they got a replacement Mon game with a "top" club now knocked out of Europe? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI often use them but on this occasion it was a lot cheaper direct with Premier Inn. I chose cheap non-refundable so can't really complain but think Saints should have warned of possible further changes.

JRM Posted 19 March, 2018 Share Posted 19 March, 2018 None at all. Just assume we've taken a reduced allocation now for some reason. Very strange sequence of events for this one, all of which seems to be us bending over and agreeing to whatever Arsenal want. The initial announcement said Monday 8pm with no suggestion of it being moved, I pulled a few favours at work to arrange a meeting in London Monday lunchtime allowing perfect timing for the game what a waste of time that was, also there was no suggestion of our 3000 allocation being reduced down to 2400, we’ve always taken good numbers there including twice midweek in league cup so why on earth have we returned tickets 3 weeks before the game when we’ve sold out? I know our ticket office is useless but this just seems incompetent, perhaps Pellegrino has been put in charge of ticket sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jawillwill Posted 20 March, 2018 Share Posted 20 March, 2018 Explains why there looked like a fair few tickets left on Sunday evening when I looked but it was then sold out at about 9:05 yesterday morning when I went to buy them. Very frustrating. I don't buy the whole "its to stop people buying for the sake of it for Wembley" as that doesn't really make any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 20 March, 2018 Share Posted 20 March, 2018 I don't recall the club posting their usual "we've sold out!" fanfare tweet either. They usually shout such things from the rooftops when they occur. Something doesn't quite add up here, f'sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
