Telephone Tickets for Wembley

[.comsaint]

I couldn't go to the away or home JPT MK Dons games because midweek games are very difficult for me to get to - due to work. I can make the odd midweek game - but nowhere near as often as I'd love to. Weekends are not a problem. I've also had a ST on & off for years (don't have one this season alas) and I've followed Saints for 38 years now; '76 Cup Final, '79 Forest final, europe in the '80s, ZDS final, Cardiff, etc.

 

At this moment in time then - I am facing the real prospect of not being able to obtain a ticket for the Carlisle game...unless they go on general sale of course - and which will mean queuing the night before - which I'm more than happy to do of course.

 

I'm therefore hoping that a fair number do go on general sale - otherwise I'm up ploppy creek without a paddle somewhat! COYS!

[Thedelldays]

they will go on general sale.....I would be very surprised if come 15 march we sold over 44k tickets

 

the sales will slow down now no doubt

[bungle]

you can those online.

 

Can't use the on-line thing. I really need to sort that out.

 

Have got Tranmere tickets now. Lady was surprised I wasn't calling for Wembley!

I guess those 12 years at sea during the 38 of following Saints goes against my 'regular purchase' history TDD! I wonder if they carried over buying history from The Dell to SMS when they moved?

 

When I was on HMS Southampton from new in 1981 (she was built locally by VT in Woolston) - Lawrie Mac and the first team used to visit the ship each year for 'goodwill' reasons (ie; a pizz-up) when we paid a visit to the docks. I've got plenty of unique signed 'gifts' from Lawrie/the lads (expensive fabric pennants, a leather football, etc) which would fetch a small fortune today on eBay! In return my beer bill took a big battering down the mess ffs! Those footballers sure knew how to drink back then...

 

* nothing to do with Carlisle tickets of course...but WTF...

It's a Nigerian Call centre. Presumably the club employed them to meet the demand.

 

Shut up Stanley

Wowzer, over 107,000 calls to the Wembley ticket phoneline by 10.30am today! Bear with us if you are still trying to get through! #saintsfc

[Tomobz]

i got through easily and was allowed the option to buy the exact amount of tickets that i bought for the area final (12) with no questions. props to the ticket office for this one they seem to be well on top of the priority scheme and are being very efficient with getting the orders completed! nice job mr luker

Clearly.

[Matthew Le God]

Clearly.

 

It is not 107k unique callers. Most of those are on redial.

[Appy]

It is not 107k unique callers. Most of those are on redial.

 

I'm sure its not 10 people on redial as well.

[Saints67]

I am soooooo sick of that bloke saying 'All our operators are busy please try again later'

[Matthew Le God]

I'm sure its not 10 people on redial as well.

 

Yep, but if 10k press redial on average 10 times each then that is 100k.

[.comsaint]

All £58 and £44 are now sold.

[Matthew Le God]

[Appy]

Still hardly slowing down though, but oh well, I have mine anyway.

[saint_stevo]

[jasoneuelllfanclub]

sent my postal app in last Monday and was processed today. £34 tickets at the top, blocks 528-531 woo hoo. i was concerned that all the £34 tickets would go via telesales today prior to them processing my app. well done ticket office - good work:)

[Saints67]

Use this number then...

 

01271 335708

[Block 5]

All £58 and £44 are now sold.

 

All gone last week when I tried to get them.

 

I shall be taking an oxygen cylinder to Wembley.

[NickG]

can't get thru...

 

they have a negative fan filter

[Honk Kong Phooey]

Thank You

I spent fro 8:30 to 11:30 trying to get through on the 0800 number. Read this post and had my tickets within 10 minutes. COYR

[saint_stevo]

Uber fans are ok then?

[NickG]

yep - got mine, just where I wanted to be!

[RedWillie]

it's a premium number....£5.00 per try then £2.00 a minute.........

 

 

Only joking. Worked fine for me, cheers.

[StD]

Have gone for the £24 seats at the bottom. Atmosphere shall make up for the **** view.

 

I went for these tickets as well.

 

Got through in only a few minutes after 8:30am - much more efficient than Pompey ticket sales which took over 5 hours!

[Arizona]

Has anyone else been enlightened on the world of classical music booking their tickets?

[dune]

Where did you get this number from? It is legitimate I take it!

 

It's a Nigerian Call centre. Presumably the club employed them to meet the demand.

 

If someone reported this to DSM (i got infracted for this comment being racist by him) i can assure it was not a racist comment. It was a tongue in cheek remark because of the Nigerian email scams.

[Thedelldays]

how many have saints sold so far then....

[alehouseboys]

how many have saints sold so far then....

 

42,756 on the 0800 number and 37,172 on the 01271 number...oops...

yeah that is more likely to be 8k people re-dialling a few times each, still hopefully we'll sell another 10k tickets today to take the total over 30k

 

would have thought all the MK link tickets will be sold between today and Wednesday, so really can't see why the database window doesn't begin until 10th March

 

the club should really be pushing to get more tickets and get them on sale, target should be to have as few empty seats as possible to improve the atmosphere.

well..I wonder what will be left for me on the 15 mar...I hate having to wait this long as friends not on the database

[Arizona]

Tickets booked for Baj, Latvian Tolix and myself (plus one more). Block 528-531.

[Thedelldays]

anyone have a spare number I could use..so I can get mine now (for a mate)...?

[saint_stevo]

Got em. Sorted

[SFKA South Woodford]

Just had a mail from David Luker saying 'doubtful that the club will get a further allocation, and that sales had just gone through 27,500'. So with 4000 tickets sold in five and a half hours, doesn't look like today will match last weeks sales of more than 10,000 on the first day.

[Notty1981]

Still waiting for postal app to be sorted, I assume this will just COME THROUGH THE POST when done!!!? And until then no further communications from the club. Just a waiting game?

Check online under order history, if you have a logon.

Not surprising considering there is no online service today.

[warsash saint]

Got mine up in 528-531.....not looking foward to telling my 7 year old later that I could not get him a ticket

[WhiteleySaint]

Great thread, thanks for number the 0800 number was doing my head in, so please I used Saints Web Forum, thanks all for your help.

[bmthred]

I'm a ****, I got through to the dialing tone on the above number and pressed the off button on my mobile. **** ****************

[Keglin]

Woot......Spent over an hour on 0800 number, constantly getting cut off. Ring the 01271and job done in 10 mins. Off to blocks 528-531 I go.

[Vershinin]

Talk about painful. I rung up all morning, got a connection and then waited 18 mins to speak to operator. Booked my tickets, even gave my card details, then the system crashed and wiped the transaction out. Worst thing of all i had an interview and had to leave before i could book them again. I'm in the q now though listening to a nice bit of Prokofiev.

Wait until he finds out there are still 17,000 tickets left, he'll hate you even more then.
