spyinthesky Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Tickets on sale to Season Ticket Holders next week. Let's hope for sensible pricing. 1
Saint Fan CaM Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Should we start to get slightly excited by this round? Nah, I didn’t think so either.

Being a later round and a Saturday 3pm should help attendance regardless, but having 3 Saturday home games in a row I think they'll have to promote this one quite a bit. If both teams need to agree on pricing just be sensible, £10 adults, £5 kids and try to fill the ground. Burnley are away to Portsmouth the week before , can't see many wanting to do the journey again, they'll struggle to bring more than 1,000. 3
Football Special Posted January 20 Posted January 20 (edited) Looks like same pricing as the Swansea game and Kimgsland stand closed again, they really are morons running the club https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/southampton-vs-burnley-24-25 Edited January 20 by Football Special 1 1

Plus rightly or wrongly plenty of regulars in the Kingsland would like to sit in that stand , if they had to close one stand do the Chapel. Halfway line centre seats offer the best view, in Itchen those are taken by hospitality so why not open Kingsland centre and allow fans the chance to buy there? 2

Not even just about the money but these games should be about attracting future fans given how unaffordable football is for many these days. Would cost £70 for a family of four who aren't members to attend this. That's obscene for an early round cup tie against frankly dull opposition. 4
SouSaint Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Club don't care, just wait until the season ticket price increase is announced for 50% of the stadium. 1

Lee On Solent Saint Posted January 20 Posted January 20 15 quid a ticket would have seen the number of tickets sold be double what the attendance is going to be now. Seems a bit ridiculous, it's quite depressing watching a game in a half empty stadium. 3

SaintsLoyal Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Lets make a stand and swerve this match as a protest.
Kingsland Codger Posted January 21 Posted January 21 For those who want to buy a ticket ... I had difficulties accessing the correct page on the southamptonfc website and also with the ticketing app. Whichever link I clicked on a page appeared saying "Error page. Unfortunately, you are not authorised to browse this url". I was about to give up when the correct page suddenly appeared.
Turkish Posted January 21 Posted January 21 I remember when a infamous poster once famously said this club is run like a crappy B&B. He has finally been proven to be correct. 1
ant Posted January 21 Posted January 21 I've spent thousands supporting the club since Sports Republic took over, and am not affluent enough to keep pissing good money after bad. A sensible pricing structure would've gone a long way to bridging the gap. This isn't that. 2

Agree , make a gesture that acknowledges the terrible value for money we've had as season ticket holders (again!) Blackburn seem to have it right 1
Ken Tone Posted January 21 Posted January 21 From saints email -------- .Please note: Blocks 29-39 will be closed initially and open subject to demand. If your regular seat is within these blocks it will not be reserved, but you can select any other available seat. - - - - So yet again the biggest stand, with I suspect the largest number of season ticket holders, isn't available 'initially' . We're expected to buy seats in the wrong stand, away from our usual neighbours, and if enough of us do, they'll let other people buy our seats instead! They just don't understand what ordinary fans want do they? 4

They just don't understand what ordinary fans want do they? Also the "best" stand as seen by ticket prices for normal games, Itchen is not comparable as centre blocks taken up by hospitality. Just vanity trying to make the crowd look bigger to the tv cameras by leaving empty seats out of sight 3
Football Special Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Had a look into this and since 2017 ticket pricing is set by the home club so it's all down to Saints, no agreement needed from away clubs https://thefsa.org.uk/news/the-price-of-change-new-fa-cup-rule-stings-home-and-away-fans/?fbclid=IwY2xjawH8uapleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHTDGbWeraDOYTcnT820cr7kPoAVmSbM93RKsR-ZkyPlQkEdBhv0QKT_03Q_aem_YShEZQ1EbJ8ACV9sSKXQrA 1

Blackburn seem to have it right At that sort of level we’d consider going (three of us), but object to them taking the piss at current prices given the rubbish served up on the pitch. To charge £20 on top of the season ticket for our crap this season is an insult. 1

The cameras are above the Kingsland, so from there the ground looks occupied. Do it the other way around and it'll seem that no-one's there, and the FA won't want that look for the FA Cup. 1
die Mannyschaft Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Got our tickets, may see another win and what opponents will be like next season. May as well open all ground as even with half full stands looks better than empty. If the club didn't waste money on over priced players could have subsidised ticket cost. Still our gates much better than others, Sheffield we'd was almost empty

I imagine it's also to do with staffing. If you're only opening 3 stands, and you know you're going to need the Itchen open anyway because it houses all the hospitality etc then it makes sense to close the stand that no-one needs to go into anyway. 1

The Kingsland has the best views and the majority of the season ticket holders. I went to the Stoke game and sat staring at an empty stand. Very depressing. "If you close it they won't come"
