ladysaint Posted 26 August, 2008 Posted 26 August, 2008 anyone know when these are on sale, cant find anything on the OS and as it is a popular trip, albeit on a Sunday, and the way we are playing the tickets should go quickly.
Master Bates Posted 26 August, 2008 Posted 26 August, 2008 Unknown, best thing to do is call the ticket hotline 0800 2800 050 and also book us both a meal for two at a top notch restaurant.
Chez Posted 26 August, 2008 Posted 26 August, 2008 Why is it 4pm on the Sunday? Is the game on the TV? If so isn't that the usual slot for Prem games?
saintrich Posted 26 August, 2008 Posted 26 August, 2008 Why is it 4pm on the Sunday? Is the game on the TV? If so isn't that the usual slot for Prem games? It is indeed on Sky, along with Blackpool and Bristol City Home and Coventry Away.

Andy_Porter Posted 26 August, 2008 Posted 26 August, 2008 Why is it 4pm on the Sunday? Is the game on the TV? If so isn't that the usual slot for Prem games? There is probably a setanta game on at the same time or a Monday premiership game on Sky.

The view from the lower tier is rubbish cos you can't see the other end properly. So can we request upper tier when purchasing?
This Charming Man Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 Looks like I will need to have a shave, young adult ticket here I come.
Window Cleaner Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 £30!?!?!?!?!? I thought that as well, makes our concession prices and cheap march madness season tickets look like giveaways doesn't it.Plus they're no better than we are for all the players they've signed.

We'll have to wait to see what they say, but if memory serves they always prefer to sell lower tier first. I'm guessing thats why they have the free U-8's price to encourage sales there. With it being their tickets, we have to follow their instructions. We'll know more in the next few days, albeit some 2 weeks later than we would normally like.

Added to the fact that Loftus Road is a complete and utter dump.
Torres Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 £30? It's a piece of **** for me to get there but I baulk at the idea of paying thirty notes for CCC tickets....
stevegrant Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 £30? It's a piece of **** for me to get there but I baulk at the idea of paying thirty notes for CCC tickets.... Lower tier's £25, I think I'll be taking that option.
Torres Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 Lower tier's £25, I think I'll be taking that option. Though the view is quick ****.... Oh, and Granty, as soon as I get my paypal account fixed, I'll get registered and reply to your PM ;-)
saintrich Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 QPR have put their prices up since Flavio and Co arrived. Apparently it was about 120 quid for a teen season ticket there and now its near 400. :-| Sounds like people don't rate lower tier (I've been upper tier the two times I've been) Is it Ok at the back of the lower tier, anyone?

stevegrant Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 I don't mind the lower tier, as long as you're not on the front couple of rows the view is fine. The upper tier is very cramped, not entirely sure how they justify it being £5 more expensive than the lower tier.
nato88 Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 Would like to go, it was a ball this time last year (3-0) and that long hair, dreadlocks totting, hippy was freaking hilarious.

I've been in the lower tier twice and the upper tier once. Always thought the view was better in the upper tier but the atmosphere was better in the lower. The view is still fairly good in the lower though.
ladysaint Posted 27 August, 2008 Author Posted 27 August, 2008 I prefer the lower tier not a great view anywhere really but think its marginally better than the upper and its cheaper.
saintrich Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 Cool, cheers, think I'll go for lower then, seeing as it's cheaper too.
saints_is_the_south Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 Been in both once each. Much better view from the upper IMO mind you i was in the very front row of the lower tier.
Chez Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 upper tier offers zero leg room, and some views are restricted. We are not talking about pillars in the way restricted, its just that you are so close that you can't actually see the corner flags at yoru end...its difficult to explain, all about angles and poor design. Anyho its not that bad a view but £30 is a rip off.
La BoIS Saint Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 £30? It's a piece of **** for me to get there but I baulk at the idea of paying thirty notes for CCC tickets.... Wait until we are paying the best part of £50 in the Premier League next year!
maxi_sopez Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 Hey guys im not a member but really want to go to this game as live really close, do you think it will get to general sale ?
saints_is_the_south Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 Hey guys im not a member but really want to go to this game as live really close, do you think it will get to general sale ? IIRC it did last year but not by very many. Since it's on a Sunday i reckon it will.
Ash Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 Gay Pride Park for £25 is expensive but those prices really take the ****, especially for a ground with such a ****y amount of leg room that I can barely fit in. I'm still going to go, but I wish I had a stronger set of morals. Any advice on something from the ground I can steal to make my ticket a little better value for money?
Legod Second Coming Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 I don't mind the lower tier, as long as you're not on the front couple of rows the view is fine. The upper tier is very cramped, not entirely sure how they justify it being £5 more expensive than the lower tier. Me neither given that you have to be amputated at the knee to sit in a seat!! Fecking typical, club gets a massive injection of cash - club raises ticket prices!! One of my good mates is paying out more than £400 MORE this year than last for three season tickets (his, daughters and old man's) - thats a bloody disgrace given that they've achieved nothing yet! And usual story, the loyaly fans are being priced out now that there's a sniff of glory... Why is football so sh!t in its regard for those people who have kept their clubs afloat??

voteforpedro Posted 27 August, 2008 Posted 27 August, 2008 I usually go to Loftus Road and i think its one of the best away days in the division, mainly because we bring 3,000 every year, but £30 a ticket is far too expensive. I'll have to give it a miss and probably use the money on the Doncaster or Cov games instead.
thesaint78 Posted 4 September, 2008 Posted 4 September, 2008 Anyone know if the lower tier has sold out yet? On another note regarding away tickets, was having an argument with friends at the weekend about who gets the money from tickets sold to away teams. My argument was that the home team keeps all the gate receipts (including tickets sold to away fans) in league games and that for cup games were split 50 / 50 after the FA had taken a share etc. Some friends thought that the away team kept a percentage of the home teams ticket sales for league games, I remember Saints losing money once because they did not sell the full allocation of away tickets asked for at a game. Can anyone confirm this either way? Thanks in advance!
sticksaint Posted 4 September, 2008 Posted 4 September, 2008 In the league the home team keeps all the money,in the cup the receipts are shared ,not quite sure of the percentage.

I got my tickets at the box office yesterday and was given the choice of top or bottom tier.

Can anyone confirm this either way? Thanks in advance! League games - home team gets the lot. Cup games - I believe it's 10% the FA get, and the rest is split 50-50. The thing with Saints losing money was that the tickets weren't sale or return, so we took the gamble that we'd sell 'em all, and we subsequently didn't.

Can anyone confirm this either way? Thanks in advance! Some teams make the away team buy all the tickets for a section if they think they can sell them. ie, Saints could get the 1700 upper tier at LR but are only offered the 1400 lower tier if they buy all the seats there as they are non returnable.
saint_ed Posted 4 September, 2008 Posted 4 September, 2008 Can you buy more than one ticket per season ticket?
Ash Posted 4 September, 2008 Posted 4 September, 2008 I usually go to Loftus Road and i think its one of the best away days in the division, mainly because we bring 3,000 every year, but £30 a ticket is far too expensive. I'll have to give it a miss and probably use the money on the Doncaster or Cov games instead. I am starting to think I will give it a miss, which is a ****ter as I was going to try and do every away game this year. But I am starting to think thirty squids is really taking the ****, particularly for a ground I couldn't even sit down in last season (not that I wanted to you understand). I can take me, my mrs, my brother and my old man to the Rotherham game for the same price as my ticket to Loftus Road. What makes it worse is how wealthy their owners are, people need to start taking a stand and say that they're not paying this much to watch average footballers knock it about.
Saint Garrett Posted 5 September, 2008 Posted 5 September, 2008 Was going to go with 3 of my mates who arent members or season ticket holders ?? Whats the chances ?? It's steep but should be a really good day out !
eelpie Posted 5 September, 2008 Posted 5 September, 2008 Was going to go with 3 of my mates who arent members or season ticket holders ?? Whats the chances ?? It's steep but should be a really good day out ! You can buy tickets from the ticket office next week, but probably only in the second tier.
saint hawk Posted 5 September, 2008 Posted 5 September, 2008 Me and my mate are working up there and are both thinking about going as travel will be paid for because we will have week long passes on train neither of us are season ticket holders or members but we both had one last year the reason we never got one for this year is because we work away alot and over the weekend so whats the chances of getting a ticket
fish fingers Posted 5 September, 2008 Posted 5 September, 2008 Me and my mate are working up there and are both thinking about going as travel will be paid for because we will have week long passes on train neither of us are season ticket holders or members but we both had one last year the reason we never got one for this year is because we work away alot and over the weekend so whats the chances of getting a ticket I take it you are not an English teacher in London.

Saints foreva Posted 6 September, 2008 Posted 6 September, 2008 I'm thinking about going as I went last season and it was great. How many do you lot think we will take?
saintrich Posted 6 September, 2008 Posted 6 September, 2008 I'm thinking about going as I went last season and it was great. How many do you lot think we will take? Doubt we'll take as many as the last few seasons, Sunday and Sky has ruined that.
rick1976.4.38 Posted 6 September, 2008 Posted 6 September, 2008 wont take that many due to qpr taking the pee with price for tickets,also on sky.rich chairman ,driving out real fans.coyr
