AwaySaint1 Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 Has the ticket office gone into meltdown this morning ? Can we expect a full house Saturday ? I ask because I am sure that many prospective buyers will being keeping a close eye on the gate this weekend.
saints_is_the_south Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 Just over 18.5k had been sold yesterday at about half 3. I'll email Mr Luker again a bit later to see how sales are going.
andysstuff Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 S am I likely to be able ti get 2 tix on the day or should I order by phone today?
voteforpedro Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 S am I likely to be able ti get 2 tix on the day or should I order by phone today? i think its best to order today, i think there'll be a huge walk up on the day.
Nineteen Canteen Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 i think its best to order today, i think there'll be a huge walk up on the day. Bit late though don't you think? Especially for the loyal 15k or so who have been there all season. Welcome back?
Michelle Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 I'm going to get mine in a bit, I'll ask how we're doing.
Bourne Valley Saint Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 Let's now hope that all the stayaways who have used Lowe as the excuse for not attending will show up for the remainder of the season and beyond. Perhaps if they'd turned up earlier we wouldn't be in this mess!! Chicken and egg situation.
samoakley Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 Im was going to walk up but i think i mite have to order later 2day or 2moro because as many people have said there be a big walk up.
SimonRichards Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 I'm going to get mine in a bit, I'll ask how we're doing. I'm glad to see you back at SMS Michelle.
OldNick Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 Im disappointed that only 18.5k had been sold by yesterday.Considering it was a big game in the season i would have thought we would have got 22+ crowd before yesterdays events.
saints_is_the_south Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 Just been told by the TO that Block 42 in the Northam is sold out.
Michelle Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 I'm glad to see you back at SMS Michelle. Cheers matey. Just waiting for the official confirmation, so maybe I won't be getting 'em 'til this afternoon.
LostBoys Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 No excuses for anyone not to go now - once they have finally gone
sotonjoe Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 As of about 20mins ago, the northam was sold out except some seats in the first three rows of block 41. Block 4 is also entirely sold out.
spyinthesky Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 went past St Marys at 1315hrs, nobody buying tickets, ominously
Ron 09 Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 Following the departure of Lowe and Wilde - I'm returning to see Saints. I've just booked my two tickets on the telephone.The whole of the Itchen is sold out except the corners which they have now opened. The lady I spoke to said the sales were sluggish the last few days but today they are going flat out answering the phones. If only the two losers had gone a while ago.

When i phoned up earlier i was on hold for a good 5 minutes so i assumed they were busy. It would be amazing to see St Marys full again, but i'd settle for 25-28k too.

I hope the fans returning will stay with us next season as well.I have my doubts, unless we start winning more than we lose it will only ever be the hardcore who turn up.
SW11_Saint Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 They've reduced prices to £15 for adults, £5 for concessions so surely it'll be a full house now? Good move imo - need to get behind the lads and show any potential buyers the massive potential of this club...

SW11_Saint Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 Those prices were reduced weeks ago weren't they? Maybe - was going by the new headline on the OS saying that "Saints have slashed ticket prices for this Saturdays crucial game against Charlton in a bid to pack out St. Mary's and roar the team to safety". Sounded like it was 'new' news... http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/article.php?page_id=11572

The Saturday Boy Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 I thought they only reduced them last week? Actually it was first announced on 2nd March.
abesaint Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 Block 1 - 3 is still unavailable on the OS. Have they definitely opened the corners??
Michelle Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 No corners as far as I've been told. Just got back from SMS, Northam completely sold out for Sat, closest is 39 or 5. 43 will not be opened. Managed to get seats we wanted for Palace and Burnley no problem. Free match ticket with home shirt offer is still on, just don't use it for this weekend as it's cheap tickets anyway!
Trumush Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 Just bought two,asked the question ,19.5k sold at the moment.

Michelle Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 Completely ignore me, I'm talking ballacks -seeing as it's just dawned on me that Block 39 is a bloody corner! Why they told me they weren't open is a complete mystery!
andysstuff Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 Just bought two,asked the question ,19.5k sold at the moment. So, are they likely to sell 12K by 1.00pm Saturday or am I besh phoning up and ordering tix today?
oldsarum Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 I see on official site ticket office opening late due to the high demand for tickets http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/article.php?page_id=11583 If you havn't got a ticket already get on dwon there !!! Lets get the ground full
saints_is_the_south Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 There must be more than 19.5k sold if they've decided to open the corners surely? I'd hazard a guess at the sold total being nearer 22 or 23k at the moment. Lets hope so anyway.
rocknrollman no2 Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 just tried to buy a ticket in the Northam end for a friend. Sold out. Advisor said about 26,000 sold so far.
krissyboy31 Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 just tried to buy a ticket in the Northam end for a friend. Sold out. Advisor said about 26,000 sold so far. If that is the case the home sections (outside the corporates) will be sold out by COB tomorrow.

I'd hazard a guess at the sold total being nearer 22 or 23k at the moment. Lets hope so anyway. Why? It may have escaped your notice but the horse has already bolted. The game and the next 2 could be a complete sell out but no buyer in the next 24 days and I assume 3 clubs will be promoted from the conference at the end of the season. Regardless of what people thought of Lowe there is an air of celebration emanating from some fans which I can only assume is because they have no grasp of the gravity of the situation, are simply ignorant or so full of hatred they are pleased the club could die just to be rid of one man? I can't relate to these fans and the longer it takes to find a buyer the more concerned for this club's existence I will become. These are very sombre and sobering times and the celebatory like reaction from some quarters, even if you hated Lowe is frankly idiotic.
John D Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 I've bought one and can't even go to the game this week
saintwarwick Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 Mine arrived in the post today! COYR!! Mine arrived in the post last July
Wade Garrett Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 I'll be back. I f*cking love it. Might even get a season ticket again for next season.
SaintNick89 Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 i bought my tickets earlier in block 39 which is in the corner. But my mate just phoned up to buy tickets 10mins ago and they say all the corners are still closed :S
andysstuff Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 Tickets bought, but took ages on website, looks like it could be a big crowd.

These are very sombre and sobering times and the celebatory like reaction from some quarters, even if you hated Lowe is frankly idiotic. What on earth gave you the impression that i was celebrating? Far from it, I'm as down in the dumps at the moment as every other true Saints fan is & that is due to realising the threat on the club's existence. I was simply stating that the club must have sold more than 19.5k tickets otherwise i didn't think that they would consider opening the corners until a few thousand more had been sold.

Like you didn't when continually coming on here and supporting Lowe. Care to admit you were wrong?:mad:

I think it's more a case of the fans rallying to spur the team on to a. avoid relegation and b. avoid oblivion. There will be a degree of relief about RL's departure, but mostly i feel a sense of excitement about seeing SMS full again and showing prospective buyers that we are a club worth saving.
yorkie Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 I just tried to get ticket for Block 1 or Block 2 and I was told nothing available. Could not confirm if sold out or was not opening! So much for wanting customers! I'll leave it until tomorrow and see if I get any luck in Block 1 or Block 2 - but I would imagine this corner would be last to open. I was offered a ticket in the other corner - so lets hope that that gets sold out first. No bad blood between Saints and Charlton fans - police presence will be high anyway so why not open the Itchen North Corner?
Rebel Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 there are a lot of fans like me who don't got to every home game - but pick and choose depending on various things (girlfriend/holida/family stuff/work/etc) I've been to about half of the home games this season so far and bought tickets for a bunch of friends last week for the Charlton game - because for me it was a always going to be a 9 pointer! I've never had a season ticket but there are many season where I've been to every home game (doesn't make me a better fan then anyone else though) there will be lots of fans/supporters like me/us who will be probably decide to go on Saturday now - maybe because it might be there last chance to support saints or just maybe because they think there £15 might make a difference whoever they are (apart fropm Wilde and Lowe) they will be welcome by me - and if they've come back after staying away for whatever reason - I don't care - they are all Saints fans to me - and that is what matters I actually admire those people who have stayed away because of Lowe - they are stronger at dealing with an addiction than me (and you could argue at least they've got principles - and maybe it worked as he's gone now)
um pahars Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 The bloke on Radio Hampshire just said that the ticket office told him that they hold sold over 24,000.
saints_is_the_south Posted 2 April, 2009 Posted 2 April, 2009 So what is it lol? 19.5k, 24k or 26k? Say its 24k. At the moment there are just under 19 business hours until kick off. Taking account of block 43 being closed & there being a few hundred empty seats in Charlton's section i reckon there must be about 6.5k tickets left. Thats only 342 tickets to shift an hour. A full house should be a real possibility, not forgetting online sales either.
