EmersonsKev Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 In light on the sites release that there is 170 tickets left for Southampton. I think it is awsome that in less than a week, a month before the game that we can sell over 3000 to season ticket holders alone. Well done City fans, onwards and upwards!Personally I'm lreally ooking forward to it, going down on Friday and coming back Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East End Lad Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Aye it is awesum how many we have sold in only a week. Just go's to show what the demand will be like should we make it to the premiership. Bit of a shame that Southampton wont give us any more though, espically if they don't sell out. I'm sure we could take 5,000 there if they gave us the tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redminster Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 In view of Southampton's average attendance of 20,693, the capacity of the ground being 32,689 and their money-problems, I am surprised that they aren't going to give us any more tickets, as we probably could have sold 5-6k for this one. Of course I understand they wouldn't move season ticket holders but if I was in charge of Southampton FC I wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth!

wesco Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Thats fantastic support shame we ain't going to get anymore. Don't suppose anyone will be able to help me out by any chance. going to have to go in home end otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bringbacktherobin Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 They cannot give us more tickets, both to the left and to the right of away fans are season ticket holders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Reynolds Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 It's OK, got a ticket! I would've sat in the home end if not, as I live up here and have mates who are Saints fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeak Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 They cannot give us more tickets, both to the left and to the right of away fans are season ticket holders.Then they should move them. Southampton are shooting themselves in the foot financially by not giving us any more tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesco Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 How would you like it if City sait to you one day that you can't sit in your usual seat? The section next to the away fans is probably the most populated area in the ground so would be upsetting a lot of people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Komazawa Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 this makes little sense from a southampton perspective. city could sell another 3000 tickets for this one, with it being a new ground for many plus it's a massive fixture. 3000 x £20 = £60,000. Even if they've got to turf out several hundred season ticket holders, how could they afford to turn this revenue down? why not compensate season ticket holders with a £20 voucher etc? really thought they'd give us more than they have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bringbacktherobin Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 So make £20 a ticket, then give them a voucher for £20.So that rules out any profit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeak Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 So make £20 a ticket, then give them a voucher for £20.So that rules out any profit!Nope. Say its 3000 seats but only has 1000 ST holders in. That equals a profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob k Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 NoIf i was a southampton fan with nothing to play for then i would not mind moving for one game to accomodate a huge travelling support, if its helping the club financially when everybody knows they are in a bit of trouble then whats the point in not doing it, I personally think if results go our way between now and then we could actually take 8000 +.
