I don't think it's too bad... I feel sorry for those who were sat in seats that were not 'Premium' before this season, but if you're happy with Centre or Wings, it's not too bad an increase IMO.
Could be way worse (look at other clubs). Fair pricing if you ask me, credit where it's due and that. I'm a season ticket holder but know people that won't blink at paying that, picking and choosing game by game next season.
I think £38, £35 and £30 for standard seats is reasonable, I wouldn't have been surprised if those seats were £45, £40 and £35 respectively.
Although Premium and Centre seats are expensive i'll think find there are not many actually available following the sale of season tickets.
By introducing the Premium seats, it has actually kept some of the other prices at a more respectable level.
To break it down to something easier to digest :
Northam
CAT A £38
CAT B £35
CAT C £30
Itchen Premium
CAT A £48
CAT B £44
CAT C £42
I honestly think that's about £10 cheaper than I was expecting. The Cat C "per match" ticket in the Northam is £2.50 CHEAPER than the per match cost for my ST renewal in there !
Priority for Man Utd if you go to Wigan, that is fair as well i think, £68 for both game behind the goals, could be worse.
Make's a season ticket rather good value. For example £40 (average price) x 19 = £760. My season ticket cost £575 (or what ever it was)
As expected really but always depressing to see it confirmed. I look forward to attending the cup games anyway.
Match Categories
- Category A: Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United (5)
- Category B: Aston Villa, Everton, Newcastle, QPR, Reading, Tottenham, and West Ham (7)
- Category C: Fulham, Norwich, Stoke, Sunderland, Swansea, West Brom and Wigan (7)
So for the Northam
5 x £38 = £190
plus 7 x £35 = £245
plus 7 x £30 = £210
Total cost per match = £645
My renewal was £575, £600 for a new ticket.
I think the booking fee bumps it up a bit, you basically get 2 Cat A matches free.

Has anyone tried booking online yet? Was working yesterday but can't log on now. Even with a password reset.
So an 'A' game for myself & my 9 year old nipper will have gone up by £20 !!!!!!
I honestly thought we'd be paying £50, £45 and £40, so £38 (£40), £35 (£37), £30 (£32) looks like a bargain.
Is it not now the requirement to have 2 full paying adults to get a child in free in the family section? Or am I making that up,I thought it was stated by the club somewhere.
what about just my son (6yrs old) and I in the family section for each category ?
just out of curiosity what does a concession equal the young adult/student category last year?
Seem pretty fair to me. Good prices for the less attractive games.
i think they will do well out of linking the wigan game, people will want to do that with it being the 1st game at home back in the top flight, and will buy them early to take advantage of linking it. i can't see many Wigan coming down for it, 600 at most, so hopefully we'll sell out and open up extra blocks of the northam
Got to say they're pretty reasonable for Premier League - extortinate compared to most of Europe - was expecting higher. Was equally content with my ST renewal.
I can't see them struggling to sell any tickets this season, if all that's left for some games are £48 seats then if you're not going week-in, week-out, it's not going to kill ya, there wont be a shortage of takers.
Now, £25 for a pre-season friendly that's live on the box is pushing it a bit far. Lucky to get 5k tomorrow.
i was expecting higher prices than this so i'm well chuffed at the moment.
think it will be a real fight to get tickets in the Northam though at those prices, may have to try Itchen North
That line of arguement only works if you go to see the oppostion personally I want to watch saints and couldn't care less if they are playing Citeh of Brentford still looks like a Cat C game for me and the kids in the family area will be about £46 inc booking charge (or £58 cant work out if a - means my 6 year old is free or pays the same as a under 17) looks like I might manage a couple of Cat C home games this season.....god I hate the PL.
The pricing is what I expected and reasonable for Premiership football. I just wish they would announce which games they are linking for priority booking well in advance. I've got flights booked for the Spurs game and no doubt 2 weeks before the Villa or Fulham game they will announce it's linked with Spurs and will be too late for cheaper transport costs
Although I agree with you to a certain extent and understand your position, it's expected that the price will go up. Lets also not forget that our team will be better than last year and the wages will be bigger. Will have to pay for it somehow! Despite this I still think football is horribly overpriced but us mugs will pay for it anyway!
Is the Northam/Chapel/corners all the same price?
May seem a bit of a silly question but I don't get to come to alot of games so was unsure. A friend and I are hoping to get tickets for Man United at home. I am a member but he isn't. Can you only buy 1 ticket per member for general sale or will I be able to try and get 2?
Saints don't have a membership scheme. Do you mean you are on the ticket database?
Your best chance of getting a Man Utd ticket would be to buy tickets for the Wigan game as they are linked and you get priority. There is a good chance the Man Utd game won't reach general sale.
