The Official Saints European Tour 2015 / 16 Thread - Died Peacefully 27/08/2015

I shall buy my two anyway but an 18:00 ko would make it difficult to pick up my grandson and get here through the rush hour traffic. I suppose we shall have to get used to being messed about, unless reason prevails.

I would stop worrying. It isn't going to be 6.

They are 12/1 to beat us at St Mary's with Skybet.

I'm sure you're right.

Yeah, given we have (more or less) full control over it and the game is only 9 days away, I find it difficult to believe they'd make it a 6pm kickoff. We'll have some 6pm kickoffs in the group stage if we get there, but the kickoff times are all set by UEFA from that stage onwards.

i think the fact we have control over it means the club really should be more proactive in confirming the details as early as possible whilst happy to sell tickets they should also confirm the time.

Same goes for away tickets - it should be very straight forward once allocation is confirmed let people know the details and whether or not they are running an official trip where a % of our allocation will be reserved for - has a big impact on what fans do in terms of booking.

The highlights do not seem to work ... but the only FCM player you need to worry about is 20-yo Pione Sisto :

Otherwise, they are only dangerous at set pieces.

The tickets is atcually available from today ... only season ticket seats are reserved ... but lots of tickets to buy, dont know wether you can buy from UK

"SOUTHAMPTON FANS: Tickets for the awayteam section can only by purchased through Southampton FC (Capacity: 600). Updated information will be posted here http://www.saintsfc.co.uk - Online Tickets cannot be purchased with foreign credit cards "

With the situation in Arnhem and the limited ticket availability, I'm pretty sure Saints aren't going to be letting anyone buy in the home ends going forward and will convey that to all future Europa opponents (if there are any).

Interesting that they have tickets in the section right in front of the VIP area for the bargain price of 13500 DKK, which is about £1200

Tickets in the section next to the away supporters are 100 DKK. £10!

FairFX card it is then :-)

That's the concession price, adults are just shy of £19 - would expect them to round that up to £20.

Will have 2 ST numbers going spare with 12 and 11 away games from last year, with Vitesse and Watford from this year on both, even that might not be off for just 600 though.

I'm thinking 15+ initially.

Maybe it will go to a ballot?

I'm thinking 15+ initially.

Yeah think the vast majority of tickets will be snapped up by 15+.

Edit: let's wait and see how it pans out with the allocation

Maybe it will go to a ballot?

Nowhere near enough time for a ballot. Just put them on sale and reduce the number of aways required each day until they're sold.

Only for children. 200DKK for adults...

I'm thinking 15+ initially.

15+ including Vitesse, Newcastle and Watford? Or just last season?

Won't include Watford as that's not been played yet, but would assume Vitesse and Newcastle will be included.

last round was 14+ first, would have thought would be the same this time

A handful of Danish Saints have now bought tickets in the home end next to the away supporters

More than double the allocation for that game, though...

We've got 10 and 11 aways...

I suspect they'll go with 14+ and then 10+ if it gets that far... hope so anyway.

Won't include Watford as that's not been played yet, but would assume Vitesse and Newcastle will be included.

I'm expecting it to use last year plus Vitesse and that's it - won't take this season's aways into consideration until we've had about 5 of them already, like previous seasons.

8pm kick off for the first leg confirmed.

Home leg confirmed at 8pm.

I'll wait and see what the criteria are and try and get something in the away end first, but will be happy to forward you the money to do the same for me and my wife if we can't get any... if the offer is still open then of course.

 

We've got 10 and 11 aways...

I'll make sure to monitor this thread. I had assumed that it would be impossible to get home tickets too, but they were available at 12 CET today. I grabbed one for myself and one for my eldest son. These are backups as I was desperate enough to pursue sponsor tickets and I may have landed myself something in that department. If it goes through, I will be speaking in their sponsors lounge about being a Saints fan in Denmark in return for getting some sort of ticket. Nothing decided yet but it seems that either way I am going to the match - that was something I thought nearly impossible 24 hours ago!

That'll be fun for you! That's two people I now know who are definitely going to get in then!

Might have to take you up on that offer....! Will wait and see about the allocation and whether I can get one in the away end. I'll find a way of getting in one way or another!

I have bought a couple in the home stand right next to the away supporters section specifically for any of you lot (I am already in so I don't need them). First come, first served and you pay face value (400kr which is about 40 quid or so)

Tickets for away fixtures will be offered for sale in the first instance based on attendance at previous away games. In order to receive credit for the game, the Customer Number of each attending supporter must be given at the point of sale. Credits cannot be applied retrospectively under any circumstances.

Thats ********. (It's not it's fair enough, but ******** for me)

Anyone want a flight from Gatwick to Copenhagen & back?

No buying tickets for mates.

It doesn't mention official travel package or if tickets are going to be included in that again?

Well, it's fair, still no idea if I'll get a ticket or not.

No official Saints, see last sentence of article:-

Please note that, due to the small ticket allocation, the club is unable to offer an official travel package for this fixture.

@SouthamptonFC

Due to the small allocation, we're unable to offer official travel packages for this game. #saintsfc

100% collection for a Saints away game - we're officially big time

Interesting to note that it shows how many tickets get creamed off the allocation for player and staff comps - Midtjylland explicitly stated on their website that we've got 600 tickets, so that's nearly 10% of our allocation gone to others.

Would it possibly be segregation ?

No, they've got a big fence around the away end.

We need a game like Everton had at Lille last season. They were given an allocation of over 10%

Main difference being that that was at a big ground where the home team wasn't ever likely to sell out.

"Those fans who purchase tickets for this game will be given priority for any future UEFA Europa League away fixtures this season."

Does this mean people with a ticket for the away leg get priority in future games? Or does it include attending the home leg?

I went to Vitesse at home but am on holiday for Midtjylland, hoping this won't affect my already slim chances of getting a ticket for any future Europa League games should we reach the group stages.
