tin Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 No two ways about it. I haven't missed a City game, home or away, since Hull away in November but can't get a ticket in the away end for this one. Tried ringing up several times and can't even get in the queue. What a joke. The club should really bring in some sort of loyalty scheme to avoid this sort of shambles. Those of us who could be bothered to make the trip to Scunny on a Tuesday night or to Colchester the other week should have priority over those who fancy a jolly up. Got no choice now but to get tickets in the home end now. Luckily, I'm on Southampton's database from my time at Uni down there two years ago so should be abble to get a ticket but am far from happy with it. Any others in the same boat?

cidercity1987 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 It didn't help that the online tickets weren't working all weekend so many people are ringing up to get their Watford tickets.Good luck getting yourself a ticket, I'm hoping to get one too but if I don't I'll have to find a way into the Soton end aswell.

Barrs Court Red Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Good look in getting Saints home tickets, their system is a shambles and unless your a member it's very hard to get a ticket, as you have to ring up two weeks before, and I suspect they'll not send them (tickets) to a Bristol addy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll get in the home end. He who dares... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderMeUp Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Is there no chance we wont be given more tickets once we have sold out? Their ground holds over 30,000 and they arent exactly filling it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bringbacktherobin Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I think they have season ticket holders next to the away fans on both sides. Away fans are located in the Northam Stand at one end of the stadium, where normally up to 3,200 fans can sit. For cup games this allocation can be increased to 4,750.

Their ground holds over 30,000 and they arent exactly filling it!!!Absolutely no chance. BBTR is right, they've got ST holders either side of the away end and that is our final allocation but you're right it won't sell out. It'll be nowhere near but they aren't going to move ST holders just to accomodate a load more of us. No chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tin Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 you phone up on a monday morning? and your suprised that it's busy?whatever nextMaybe because it was the only time I could do it as none of us could get down the ground before Watford tomorrow, which is what me and my mate's were originally planning to do before Friday evening's announcement that there were 800 left. :noexpression: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tin Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 We've all got tickets now thanks to PhatWill but still think the club should look at some sort of loyalty scheme to give those who make the effort to go to shitholes like S****horpe on a freezing Tuesday night priority over the daytrippers. Surely if we go up it's a must. Think of the scrum for tickets to go Arsenal or Man Utd. Every man and his dog will want in on that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhatWill Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 not sure if its already been mentioned but anyone know how many weve sold so far. it cant have sold out just yet surely...I'm panicing well bad encase it has sold out. there was just over 2000 tickets sold before the weekend, and you couldnt purchase any tickets during the weekend. it would be impossible to sell nearly a 1000 in one day wouldnt it?...Two of us ringing this morning couldn't even get onto the Q-ing system for nearly an hour.I could foresee Watford and Saints being sold out by the end of today.

Luke_Ciderhead Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Well tickets are only on sale to season ticket holders until next week, so no part time charlies will be able to get tickets.So I reckon youll probably be OK mate, why not get tickets tomorrow before the Watford game? The office should be open.I'm getting mine tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tin Posted March 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Well tickets are only on sale to season ticket holders until next week, so no part time charlies will be able to get tickets.We all know there's ways and means around that. All you need is a voucher to get priority for the ticket. There's one thread where someone's pleaing for vouchers to the Saints game to let the part-time charlies in. I've done that same for two of my mate's for Cardiff but they go to every game, just don't have ST's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardy Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I went down the ground to get Saints tickets this morning and it was really really busy. Given there were only 800 tickets left and people were all buying 4 or 5 each (with vouchers) I reckon it will be sold out by the end of the today.
