"From Wednesday 8th October, Southampton Football Club will be implementing an upgrade to its Ticketing/Database system. This upgrade will provide major enhancements to the business and will take some time to complete. During the upgrade process, the ticket office will be unable to sell "live". This means that both the online and telephone sales functions will not be available. This also applies to the ticket desk within West Quay.
The Box Office at St. Mary's will be available. They will be able to sell away games and travel tickets as live, but tickets for home fixtures (and parking) will not be able to be completed at the point of sale. Each customer will be given a receipt for their transaction, and each receipt will be processed in turn when the system is fully available.
The upgrade process will be complete on Tuesday 14th October.
We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this causes"
