sotonjoe Posted 22 March, 2018 Share Posted 22 March, 2018 Out of interest, how many tickets do we get when we get to the final...yeah I know. 28k Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchards Posted 22 March, 2018 Share Posted 22 March, 2018 28k The most pathetic thing is all football clubs around the country get two tickets each. (IF we win) I’m going to try get one off a Pompey club as I know the chairman. PS don’t agree that any club in Portsmouth should get any as you know they will be given to Utd or Spurs fans.

JRM Posted 22 March, 2018 Share Posted 22 March, 2018 Thought we had more like 23,000/24,000 STH's? No way is it that high, more like 19000 this season, membership numbers also down, I know they’ve re-opened membership sales giving the club another cash boost like last season but I’m convinced this will make it to non members with a purchase history, tickets aren’t cheap and it doesn’t have the same appeal as a cup final plus I’ve seen plenty of fans say they already have other commitments (ones that I’m sure they’d get out of if it was a cup final) We’ll only just sell out I think.

Think your spot on as the guy I spoke to in the ticket office said that anyone with purchase history will probably get a ticket but get a membership to guarantee. The big problem will be when reaching the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchards Posted 22 March, 2018 Share Posted 22 March, 2018 Why does anyone plan a wedding during a football season plus a World Cup tournament?

Robbing *****s.The categories are different, but the cost of a ticket behind the goal is actually cheaper for this semi-final compared to the EFL final.... £65 and £72 respectively (although concessions were cheaper for the EFL final) Edited 22 March, 2018 by trousers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 26 March, 2018 Share Posted 26 March, 2018 I get the impression from Saints official travel announcement that they’d rather fans get the coach from Eastleigh or Winchester due to trying to avoid the Southampton Marathon road closures, if they do leave Southampton by 8am they’ll be in London in plenty of time for the pubs opening, would imagine this will encourage more to go by train though than faff around at that time of the morning on bingo bus. https://southamptonfc.com/news/2018-03-26/official-coach-travel-fa-cup-semi-final-southampton-chelsea Apparently the saints away unofficial travel are doing pick ups elsewhere in the city like Millbrook and Shirley high st, seems a good idea as plenty of fans live closer to there than St Mary’s . http://southamptonawaytravel.co.uk/cup-fixtures/fa-cup/fa-cup-semi-final/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazza Posted 27 March, 2018 Share Posted 27 March, 2018 I managed to get my two after getting kicked off and queuing for a second time. Worth noting that if you’re buying a concession ticket the ‘Ticket Type’ box remains greyed out (thus you’re unable to change it from ‘Adult’) but it updates automatically to the appropriate ticket and price for that specific Supporter Number on checkout.
