you do not just need a season ticket holder, anyone can buy one adult ticket and can get another for half price.

 

season ticket holders can buy extra seats for £7.50

 

This is good news, about time we saw some pricing incentives in a bid to drive up crowds, we know saints have the fanbase out there, but while we are languishing in division 3 there is a chance for some of the more fair-weather fans to drift away.

 

Sat 9th - v Tranmere

Sat 23rd v Oldham

Tue 2nd v Dagenham

 

 

we should be looking at 20k + at those prices.

Oh and just one more question, my reading of it is that it is one additional ticket at £7.50 per season ticket holder per game, we can't buy more than that per season ticket?

 

It says in the article...

 

There is no limit on the number of offer tickets available.

 

Technically this is wrong as Saints can't sell more than 32k tickets! ;)

A bit disappointing its not available on the day! Apart from living in ... (well, you can tell where I live), I'm working in Basingstoke, commuting by train, so I really can't get to SMS before Friday night. Can we book over the phone or online? Or is it in person only? Are they trying to move fans away from walk-up to committed?? I like to be a walk-up as I have to factor in my son's homework workload, what the missus is doing, and the weather! I get there as often as I can when all indicators are 'go for it'. :)

1) you can buy them over the phone.

2) the weather forecast for this weekend is excellent - http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/308?&search=winchester&itemsPerPage=10&region=world&area=Winchester

3) get your son to do his homework friday night.

4) it will cost you £3 extra to book over the phone or online.

 

You should still go though.

I ordered two additional tickets in the Northam yesterday, they arrived today and have been charged £22 each for them, will I be able to get a refund for the difference.

 

I would doubt it. It's like buying a dress one week and then finding it in the sale the next week. (That has happened to me countless times) :) The shop won't give you a refund, will they? I'm sure the Club's response will be 'tough titty' although I'd be surprised if they used that phrase. :)

If that was the case I would take the dress back as it would be unused and get back my money back and then buy it again at the reduced price.

We had nearly 27000 on sat for the bompey game, i reckon we'll easily get 25000+ at these prices

 

I take it this deal has to also apply for away fans? If so, then the three teams might bring a few, but otherwise can't see much more than 300/400 max away fans for any of the three teams we're playing, 22/23k would still be good attendances for any of these I reckon, but it's now a chance for fans to show that if ticket prices are dropped they will start filling the ground, takes away a lot of people's reason for not attending or is it just the "glamour" of the opposition that makes the difference?

I tried to buy 4 tickets over the phoen for Daggers game with ST and they said that you can only buy one for the deal on a ST not unlimited like the implied.

 

Oh for f**ks sake, how can we even get a good offer like this wrong? It says on that article "There is no limit on the number of offer tickets available. However, please note that these offers WILL NOT be available on the day of the games". But on the other hand further up the page it says "Season ticket holders needn't feel left out as they have the opportunity to purchase an additional ticket for just £7.50 with no age restirctions". So it is only one per season ticket, just not entirely clear in the original article!

You're not legally entitled to return a purchase for refund and/or exchange unless the goods are faulty.

 

The retailer can of course offer a 'no questions asked' returns service if they choose but they are under no legal obligation to do so.

In the case of an online purchase, such as the tickets, the Distance Selling Regulations apply and you are entitled to return any item, regardless, with in 7 days for a refund.

 

So, LS could return the tickets, get a refund and then re-purchase tickets at the new rate.

Yeah I thought the unlimited tickets was too good to be true. But to be fair the original article on the OS does say: "Season Ticket holders needn't feel left out as they have the opportunity to purchase AN additional ticket for just £7.50."

 

I suppose that the "unlimited" bit means that there is not just say 500 tickets available at the reduce rate.

Whilst welcoming the idea of getting extra people to the game with the £7.50 offer for tickets which is an excellent idea, I do despair at the marleting of the hospitality offers. £35 for a beer, curry and seat at the match (£41 after VAT) sounds appealing. I am tempted by this and could bring my dad as a birthday present to him.

 

HOWEVER

 

I am a season ticket holder and have already paid for a ticket for the game. I don't really want to pay twice for the same game. Why isn't there a scheme whereby I could sell my ticket back to the club for a match when I was going for the hospitality package ?? I would be much more likely to take up the hospitality offers (and bring others who aren't even going to the game) if I didn't feel that I was going to be paying twice to watch the same game of football.

Yeah, that was kind of my point with the quotes, still a good deal, but maybe not the clearest communication.

I'm fairly certain I've seen before somewhere that if ST holders book a hospitality package they are refunded the cost of the matchday ticket. It may have been in the back of an old ST voucher booklet. I've just checked mine and it isn't stating that this season, maybe worth a phonecall. There is a voucher at the back of the booklet for a 10% discount for ST holders which could be an added bonus.

I'm sure you can tart your spare ST around on here and somebody will take it for, say, half of the regular admission fee (that's pretty much what you'd pay per game anyway).

Bournemouth had 3,200 of that 26,000 attendance. Only 2,000 Saints fans more than our average.

 

Tranmere, Oldham and Dagenham are three games which at normal prices would struggle to attract 17,000 in my opinion, hence the reason why the club has decided to do this special deal.

TBF that's a pretty good offer and it's also buy 2 get a third free!

 

http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2175934,00.html

 

That's 3 games, 3 curries, 3 pints and good seats for £82 and you can also take a kid (under 14) for nothing each time. No brainer if you take the nipper to SMS.

I was originally under the impression that it was any 3 games but it's only the next 3.

 

The article was unclear yet again!
