Exeter Tickets

[Footballfan]

anyone know when the tickets for this game will go on sale and how many we will get.

[saints_is_the_south]

Terrace behind the goal holds 1200 & 300 seats are also available on the side so not many in answer to your question!

 

Should get some news soon I'd guess, the game is 3 weeks away tomorrow & with not many tickets I expect they'll have to sell them in some sort of priority.

Is there any chance we will get more, Exeter never sell out to my knowledge, or are we gonna have to buy in the home end ?

[pele]

Phoned the other day and stated should be two weeks before game. Have a minibus booked so anxious too!!

[brianoneils slidingtackle]

On checking Exeter have an average this season of only 5471 in a ground that has a capacity of 9036 so we should have plenty of space for additional tickets.

But already giving Saints about 1500 tickets is above the minimum requirements though

The only selling priority will be similar to Brentford as we've only got 1744 tickets for that game, which is ST holders first then restricted general sale.

First post seems to sum it up :

 

Today was nearly a complete disaster and lives were nearly lost. The crush in the first 10 minutes of the game appeared to be a direct result of away fans being let in despite there being no room at the beginning of the away end. Plenty of room to the left but the dozy Leeds c*nts in the middle could not be bothered to move despite numerous tannoy announcements.

 

Couple with the Leeds w*nkers who got tickets for the Flybe having to be moved into the away end a crush was inevitable.

 

The police were not to blame for any problems, your own thick fans and our stewards were. What price a fans life eh? Well you nearly found out once again today and thankfully you got lucky.

 

I was in the second row of block m in the Flybe and all was filmed by my son. It is due to be posted on youtube later so you can make your own minds up.

 

No doubt the Leeds fans will blame the away end capacity but there was plenty of room in there, you just couldn't be bothered to help your own fans.

 

Here's the video :

I cant be bothered to jump through hoops to get a ticket for this, I was looking forward to another visit..oh well at least its not Saints problem..

[Sour Mash]

As discussed on the Saints Away section, what a joke this is. Fingers crossed they'll see sense and release the full (still quite small) allocation. Not one to have a go at smaller clubs, but how poxy are Exeter, it isn't our fault if they/their security people can't manage a home game against Leeds, sell lots of tickets to away fans in the home end, then decide to move them into the away end as "there looked like there was lots of room". Got in late at the cup game down there last season as well due to long queues.

[Andy_Porter]

800? what a joke.

 

What a massive hassel to get tickets, really can't be arsed to write in and request tickets. If I don't get a ticket i'll be ****ed off.

 

I wish I hadn't bought my train ticket now.

[Thedelldays]

anyone can give their ticket to me...it is only up the road

[kpturner]

Applications in writing from ST holders only with priority given to those who have been to 3 or more away games?!

I have a ST and I have been to more than three away games but I haven't bought any of the tickets. My mate who works nearer the ground buys the tickets. Where does that leave me in terms of priority I wonder?

 

PS: Questions for those going by train - Leaving from Parkway or Southampton Central? Destination - Exeter Central or Exeter St David's? How much (I was quoted £70.50 for three)? Raileasy quotes 1 change - but doesn't say where.

[South City Si]

As said on other thread, have holiday booked in devon for that week so am going to be p1$$ed off if can't go.

Depends if your mate who buys the tickets used your ST number when he got them, makes sense to do it even if the tickets are on general sale. I get tickets for two others and always use our three ST numbers. Basically if you haven't got the away games matched against your ST you won't have any chance of getting a ticket.

 

My train tickets are for Exeter St Davids via Westbury, starting at Soton Central. Came to £68 for four when I booked them in November.

[Sour Mash]

Ha, according to their message board tickets are on general sale in the Exeter ends.....got to laugh at the irony of that...........

I don't understand the logic there.

Reduce the capacity for the away end = more people in the home ends.

F*cking morons.

[brianoneils slidingtackle]

I had thought of just getting a ticket for the home end as its easier, but i cant be bothered of applying in writing for a ticket for the away section, why dont they just do a Northampton and give us two sides of the ground, its not as if exeter get a capacity crowd every week. !!

[kpturner]

I don't think so, but I could be wrong. Time for me to email Mr Luker methinks.

[forever a red and white]

if you can't be bothrered to write a letter that will take around 5-10 mins then you can;t really complain about the allocation

[saintjay77]

If I cant get tickets in the normal way I may have to dress up as a friggin penguin so I can get a free ticket ffs! one of the places I support has some sponsership deal with Exeter. Stand around handing out flyers or dress up as the penguin and feck about. (wondering if I can get away with wearing a saints shirt over the penguin suit lol)

 

Would rather get a seat with my family and enjoy the game though.

[Saint_clark]

If the penguin suit comes complete with headpiece, do it. At least no-one will recognise you.

I've no problem spending time writing a letter. It's just a poorly thought out idea.

 

For one they haven't told us who to send the letter to, whether it needs to include bank/card details, if we can apply for multiple ST's in one letter and most importantly which address.

 

They shouldn't be making it hard for customers to spend their money. It's pretty stupid to do a ballot at all, if there are more than 800 people who apply who have all been to over three aways then they should just sort out from the applicants which 800 had been to the most games and send them the tickets.

 

It's hardly fair if people who have only been to three away games get tickets ahead of people who have been to all the aways.

 

It's been very poorly thought out by our ticket office, they've got plenty of time to have sorted a proper system and at the very least they should have made the OS article far more clear.

 

If I hadn't bought my train ticket already I'd give this one a miss and just go next season.

I have a problem with writing a letter, if I send a letter I cannot be sure that it is recieved unless I send it recorded delivery, many times I have asked for tickets to be sent to my home address as its not always practical to get to St Marys, but at least twice this season the tickets havent arrived and I have had to wait for duplicates to arrive at an away stadium. what wrong with the internet, e-mail or someother method.

Writing a letter is so 1980's :-)

I agree. They haven't provided enough details and agree with the fact about three away games. But the line has to be drawn somewhere. I have also bought tickets to travel from Cardiff so can only hope now.

We have been to every away game this season even a cold Hartlepool fc on a Tuesday night (long drive and took two days of work) and now have to write a letter to ASK for a pair of tickets. If we dont get a pair thats it l will be writing to Mr Luker

[Saint_clark]

Hang on, we have to write a letter and send it in with the money? I assume we will get the money back hassle-free should we not get tickets?

[Saint Samuel]

I was hoping to stay at a mates down there and make a weekend of it, will be livid if the "incidents" with Leeds has ruined my weekend away before its even begun!

[StuRomseySaint]

Looks like the 'home' ends will be busy that day.

[Saint_clark]

Sent it off, if I don't get a ticket i'll be very annoyed to be honest.

[brianoneils slidingtackle]

Try cutting and pasting this in your browser, Im not an expert but it should take you to the Ticket Zone section for Exeter City football

They haven't said anything either way, it's like they just put the article out in a rush. If that was the case they should have just left it for a day and posted it tomorrow.

It's ridiculous it really is, it's good that they are prioritising season tickets holders who have been to away games but they should have just taken the 800 applicants who have been to the most away games.

 

I agree. They haven't provided enough details and agree with the fact about three away games. But the line has to be drawn somewhere. I have also bought tickets to travel from Cardiff so can only hope now.

 

If I can't get a ticket in the away end i'll either sit in the home end or just go for a days drinking in Exeter, it's not the end of the world just a pain that we're being punished because of something that happend between Leeds and Exeter.

[Sour Mash]

Can someone confirm what it is we actually send? Is it a letter addressed to the ticket office saying something like "name, address, customer number and bank details"? What do we/don't we need to include?

[Saint_clark]

I just wrote my name, season ticket number, amount of tickets and type (adult, child etc) and that was pretty much it.

I'm paying by cash, before anyone says "LOL, how will they charge you if you don't send your card details".

[adysaint]

I was gonna fly down from Newcastle (its only £80ish return)

 

Can't risk it now.

 

Getting in the home end should be ok - you can even wear your shirt - just stick a piece of black tape over the badge;)

[saintjay77]

If the penguin suit comes complete with headpiece, do it. At least no-one will recognise you.

 

I got no problem wearing it for any other game but I wanted to go and watch this game and enjoy it. But if thats the only way I will get a seat then so be it. lol

[The Godfather]

Don't have a problem with writing a letter but the 1st February deadline is cutting it short because your not going to know whether you've got a ticket or not until Tuesday 2nd at the earliest. Home end for me then.

[La BoIS Saint]

Previous experience has shown that if you make the effort to apply you will be almost certain to get one. When we played Brighton there was all this fuss for about the same number of tickets but they still went on sale to non appliers. Worth applying even if you haven't been to three games.

I would agree if you but this season we've taken good numbers away from home and would expext a ballot in the end if don't get anymore tickets.

[Saint_clark]

Just noticed that if more than 800 people write in, they will just pick them out of a hat - f*ck off! First come first serve, always. What a joke.

No, those who have been to the most games first, those who fancy a jolly because it's close by, last.

[saintrich]

Agreed, but you could have been to every game this season and still miss out, as if more than 800 apply they are picking out of a hat.

It's a load of bullsh!t. Since you aren't replying on facebook, does Jinksie ever use our ST numbers when booking? Otherwise I have nothing to show for all the away games I done apart from tickets, which probably means sod all to the club.

I go with 3 other mates to away games & always give our ST numbers when booking. This morning I checked on my online order history & none our numbers have been allocated to any of the away games we've been to this season!! So the 6 or 7 away games we've been to this season count for nothing!

[Footballfan]

I have just checked my order history and I ammissing 2 away games from this season,does the ticket office have diffrent records than whats shown on my account

[saints_is_the_south]

I emailed David Luker asking if he could rectify my problem & his reply was:

 

Just as a cursory glance Lee, you have six

 

If you have bought them as part of a group, it’s the person who “owns” the order who has it shown in their order history. We get to see the games linked to such an order in our system.

 

So should be ok. Even though I can only see 1 away game linked to my customer number on my order history he can see 6 on his system.
