Sold out 3/4 weeks before the game Same with Chelsea, one of our closest games and the club take the smallest allocation - support looked pathetic on TV, tickets sold out weeks before.

Morse Posted 28 December, 2019 Share Posted 28 December, 2019 The club needs to explain this. Either they want good away support or they dont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 28 December, 2019 Share Posted 28 December, 2019 We took smallest possible allocation for Crystal palace as well, which also sold out weeks in advance, I do wonder if the club are keen for away tickets to appear difficult to get to encourage people to be season ticket holders to keep access to away tickets. The club will argue they don't want to take financial risk. Usual premier league process is first batch of tickets available sale or return, but next batch for bigger allocations on guaranteed sale basis so if we don't sell them the club loses money. The fact we sold out 3000 for Villa Saturday before Christmas shows we can take good numbers away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alehouseboys Posted 28 December, 2019 Share Posted 28 December, 2019 1,500 for Chelsea was ridiculous, as JRM says we took 3,000 (which sold out quickly) up to the midlands a few days before, Chelsea sold out even quicker, we still had time to take n sell the full allocation. I know transport is an issue on Boxing Day, but we've taken 3,000 to the capital on Dec 26 before (no problem for Brighton up at Spurs), SFC are more interested in making it sweet for away fans at St Mary's than their own travelling fans.

whelk Posted 28 December, 2019 Share Posted 28 December, 2019 Absolute joke that the club have only taken a 1200 allocation for leicester. Sold out 3/4 weeks before the game Fck me that is shocking. In this day and age with information readily available how can they not work out we’d sell our full allocation? #cluelesstw&tsMarchOn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsarum Posted 28 December, 2019 Share Posted 28 December, 2019 Absolute joke that the club have only taken a 1200 allocation for leicester. Sold out 3/4 weeks before the game Took the same allocation at Leicester last year and also sold out weeks before game, cannnot see why they didn’t take at least another 1,000 tickets After last years game I asked for low allocation to be raised at Saints voice but obviously wasted my time. Seems club only interested in overpriced burger bars instead of Saints bars and other money making concerns, not our away fans. For palace with three weeks to go surely as away section all segregated there is time to ask for more tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Fry Posted 28 December, 2019 Share Posted 28 December, 2019 Very disappointing. I usually go to Leicester each season but not looking very hopeful now. FFS Saints that allocation is pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IFHP Posted 29 December, 2019 Share Posted 29 December, 2019 You do have to question the ticket office. It’s actually worse as the club sent 1000 odd tickets back. We originally took an allocation of around 2100 but sent the unused block back . We did the same last year . Then theres the Wolves fiasco with the club selling out the origanal 2200 allocation and dispite the lowere tier at wolves not being possible to split didn’t put the extra 1000 tickets on sale till 2 days before the game. And even then never announced it. I think only once since we came back up have the club took the full 3000 allocation at Chelsea. Not sure what the Saints voice do but this should be brought up.

This type of thing really ****es me off. Is it general incompetence on the club’s part or are they deliberately trying to limit the away support numbers for some unfathomable reason? As said above, the Villa ticket sales show the support is there, it just needs the ticket office to do their job and communicate what they are doing properly with the fans.

LGTL Posted 29 December, 2019 Share Posted 29 December, 2019 We’ve also started announcing away ticket information and putting them on sale the same day! You usually used to get a few days notice. A couple of times I’ve only realised they’re on sale because I’ve seen someone on twitter talking about it. Considering their job is to sell tickets, they do a terrible job of it. This is exactly the sort of thing saints voice should be addressing but instead they rather concentrate on grassing up their own fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appy Posted 29 December, 2019 Share Posted 29 December, 2019 Crystal Palace away we’ve taken the small allocation again, I don’t think we’ve failed to sell out there since a Monday night football under Poortvliet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always take large numbers there -and one of the closest grounds to get to for a midweeker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint97 Posted 29 December, 2019 Share Posted 29 December, 2019 Hopefully this will get properly brought up by Saints Voice, if they actually do anything. Spoke to the ticket office today and we are not getting anymore tickets for either fixtures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericb Posted 29 December, 2019 Share Posted 29 December, 2019 Saints voice are a pointless joke. A bunch of people that “represent” a tiny minority of our support, are happy grassing on their own and include a guy that looks like he should introduce himself to the neighbours when he moves house Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say they seem to be a group of fans who think they are special and only ask questions they want to ask. I thought they wedre supposed to be for all fans. Maybe if a member is reading this then they could give us their opionion of what its all about, what goes on and where they get to discuss at the meetings and who theu ask.

Shroppie Posted 31 December, 2019 Author Share Posted 31 December, 2019 I've had a moan to the club. No real explanation for the small allocation. Not getting any more. Not expecting returns of complimentaries. I'm still looking. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the saint in winchester Posted 31 December, 2019 Share Posted 31 December, 2019 We let the oppo teams populate half the Northam, yet don't want much of a presence at away games? Does seem an odd approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alehouseboys Posted 31 December, 2019 Share Posted 31 December, 2019 The club don't make money selling somebody else's tickets, they just see it as an inconvenience. They probably think if you can't buy away tickets then you'll more likely buy them for St Mary's and so benefit the club financially. Wrong, they're just p*ssing fans off more and more and making us look real small-time with these pathetic away followings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
