Saints foreva Posted 17 April, 2009 Share Posted 17 April, 2009 Picked up tickets for London Saints this morning, approx 600 left. Also although Saints have repeatedly requested the extra allocation Forest will not make a decision on whether we'll get the extra tickets until monday (obviously waiting to see how weekends results effect the situation), sop we may end up with only the inital allocation. if they don't give us the extras I think there will be a made scramble toget remaining tickets. Forest have to give us another 900 tickets if we want them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
September Saint Posted 17 April, 2009 Share Posted 17 April, 2009 Do we reckon it will get to membership sales on the 22nd? I've already got 2 tickets myself but a friend has asked if it's likely it will get to membership sales for him, but I don't have a clue tbh. Is it likely? I'm only a member and have just bought a ticket on-line Get your mate to try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints_is_the_south Posted 17 April, 2009 Share Posted 17 April, 2009 Forest have to give us another 900 tickets if we want them. David Luker reckoned we could get as much as 4300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffo Posted 17 April, 2009 Share Posted 17 April, 2009 I'm only a member and have just bought a ticket on-line Get your mate to try Apparently when you get to press buy, after having gone through the whole process it says you're not allowed to buy a ticket yet or something..

Saints foreva Posted 17 April, 2009 Share Posted 17 April, 2009 David Luker reckoned we could get as much as 4300 Yeah we can, but 3,000 is the min they can give us I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints foreva Posted 17 April, 2009 Share Posted 17 April, 2009 Wolves had 5279 tickets when they played there a few weeks ago. Wolves only had that because there wasn't a decent home crowd I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docker-p Posted 17 April, 2009 Share Posted 17 April, 2009 I dont understand why ST get so long to buy there tickets. Dave Luker needs to get on the blower to NFFC and demand the full 4,300 tickets. I have a bus full of people wanting to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IFHP Posted 17 April, 2009 Share Posted 17 April, 2009 Why would Forest want 4,300 Saints fans when they only HAVE to give Saints 3000? Would we be happy if Saints were at home and we gave Forsest 4300 tickets in a game either side might need to win to stay up? Tickets have been on sale for 3 days now and are still availble, any season ticket holder who fails to get a ticket for this match has only themselves to blame. Personally I would have let members get their tickets today, any member who is willing to buy a ticket before waiting on Saturday's results deserves to get a ticket over a season ticket holder who is waiting to see if Saints win on saturday. Yes I am a season ticket holder and yes I have my Forest ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the time they can't split a stand in three so they will say here is 2100 tickets (half the stand with barriers in concourse etc.), but then if we want anymore we have to take the full extra 2200 to take all of the rest of the stand as they can't split it with proper segregation.

Dan Posted 18 April, 2009 Share Posted 18 April, 2009 We have a coach load going, so far only about 5 have tickets as majority will be buying on general sale. We need this extra allocation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saints_is_the_south Posted 18 April, 2009 Share Posted 18 April, 2009 Have to say i really wished i'd waited until today to get my Forest tickets. What a waste of £45 & a waste of a Sunday its going to be, made even worse by the fact we're going on the bingo bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexstar Posted 18 April, 2009 Share Posted 18 April, 2009 Take the tickets next week and possibly be able to get a return after the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffo Posted 18 April, 2009 Share Posted 18 April, 2009 I'd enjoy the trip much more if we were already relegated, than having to win to stay up and going down still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted 19 April, 2009 Share Posted 19 April, 2009 Christ, there aren't half some miserable people on this thread! I really don't understand this "what a waste of money/waste of a day" attitude. If you WANT to go, go get yourself a ticket and enjoy your day out. If you're really that narked about paying out money or wasting your day, don't bother buying a ticket, and let someone who does want to go have the opportunity to. Ta.

Neil Posted 20 April, 2009 Share Posted 20 April, 2009 Still no news from either club on whether there will be more tickets or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints_is_the_south Posted 20 April, 2009 Share Posted 20 April, 2009 Had this from Mr Luker this morning: Just over 1500 sold so far. We have already asked for the second allocation, and are awaiting Forest’s decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adysaint Posted 20 April, 2009 Share Posted 20 April, 2009 Forest will say no I bet. IMO that 2,100+ should have gone by now. I'm only a member, but I expect to get one Wed morning, easy. If Forest give us the 4,000+ and we are already down, we will never get rid of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeismyname Posted 20 April, 2009 Share Posted 20 April, 2009 I phoned up this morning and the bloke reckoned that there would be about 200 of the first allocation left for members sale on Weds which would go in a couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints_is_the_south Posted 22 April, 2009 Share Posted 22 April, 2009 First Forest allocation now sold out. David Luker says that Forest will make a decision on the 2nd allocation on Saturday which is pretty sensible i guess given that we could be down on Saturday & there is no way then we'd sell another 2k.

Quite right. If Forest wanted to be mischevious could they just give us the bare minimum and leave the rest of the seats empty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
