hamster Posted 5 May, 2011 Share Posted 5 May, 2011 Sorry if this buried deep in the other thread but I think it worthy of a separate mention. I just spoke to the TO. Whether you book via the ticket line 800 280 0050 or in person, you have to collect them no matter what. Asked if the club will change this on the day to allow walk ups and it's a categoric 'non' It could end up with these tickets being as sought after as the Walsall ones, the comemorative programmes will I'm sure. Anyway, I may be passing later and will grab as many as I can, but mrs h has other ideas so can't promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexstar Posted 5 May, 2011 Share Posted 5 May, 2011 So you can't go on the day with your customer number and get some? Guess I can do it Saturday though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red And White Barmy Army Posted 5 May, 2011 Share Posted 5 May, 2011 Why on earth are they making it so difficult to get tickets...? cos they can't have 30,000 people walking up on the day which is exactly what will happen if they say you can get them this way.

forever a red and white Posted 5 May, 2011 Share Posted 5 May, 2011 I tried phoning up to reserve tickets, and was told that it was collection only and i could not pre-book seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ampersound Posted 5 May, 2011 Share Posted 5 May, 2011 Yesterday I was told I could not book over the phone and had to collect which isn't an option like many of you who no longer live in so'ton. Today it's online (which didn't work) or over the phone and take a 60p per ticket hit. 4 tickets booked so I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deppo Posted 5 May, 2011 Share Posted 5 May, 2011 I think someone should start another thread about this so we can all moan on that one as well - two threads just isn't enough for the amount of fury that I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Reigned Posted 5 May, 2011 Share Posted 5 May, 2011 I think (!!) I've just booked 4 tickets on-line, although the receipt does go on about a suite, so hope it's worked okay?! I'm not a season ticket holder, just logged in under my "membership" number, so it seems that tickets aren't restricted to 2 per person?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatlesaint Posted 5 May, 2011 Share Posted 5 May, 2011 I just booked 2 ok online for collection at the Ticket Office. I suppose it will be easier picking them up Saturday than Sunday, it could be chaos round there Sunday afternoon ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickG Posted 5 May, 2011 Share Posted 5 May, 2011 (edited) Just been down to the ticket office at about 12.30. There was only a 5 min queue. I got 5 tickets for my 1 season ticket. The 3 people infront got 40! Most seemed to be walking away with big wads of tickets, seems no reason why you couldn't go and get as many as you want.

sambosa75 Posted 5 May, 2011 Share Posted 5 May, 2011 Sounds to me like enough people are getting loads in to flog outside before the game. The club has missed a trick. They should say its free until the day of the game and then charge £5 or £10 on the door on the day of the game. I reckon they'd make a nice wedge if they did that.

They should say its free until the day of the game and then charge £5 or £10 on the door on the day of the game. I reckon they'd make a nice wedge if they did that. The problem with it being free is that people will pick up a load of tickets just in case they and their mates fancy it, then if come Sunday they don't they will just leave the tickets unused, bit like the under 8s season tickets. Should have charged a small amount just to put people off enough for doing stuff like that. Could well be "sold out", but then have plenty of space around the gorund on the day. Hopefully that won't be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You moaned about it on the first thread and now you've come here to moan about it. If it upsets you that much, stop reading about it and certainly stop writing about it. It's not as if it's going to affect you as you have stated lots of times that you won't be going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petermcpete Posted 5 May, 2011 Share Posted 5 May, 2011 Went along today and asked how many I could get with two database numbers, seems you can get as many as you want. Got 4 which I thought was reasonable, the bloke next to me was by himself and got 12! Really hope people don't get stitched up here, think it should have been limited tbh.

My point is in support of people going, it would be a shame if some missed out while there are empty seats in the ground. Not everyone gets stupidly over-excited by something just because it's free. You've never posted anything worthwhile or serious on here, so I'm not sure why I'm responding to you, but its a bit late now...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandwichsaint Posted 5 May, 2011 Share Posted 5 May, 2011 How many are we actually expecting for this? V. short notice (that's not a dig, it's obviously tied in with us securing promo and giving the players maximum time off in the summer). 'Lots' of people will go because they can and it's free.... 'Lots' of people won't be able to go because of prior commitments or cos of travelling twice in two days.... and there will be some to who it doesn't appeal. Shall we say 16-18K ... perhaps more if it's a sunny day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

um pahars Posted 5 May, 2011 Share Posted 5 May, 2011 lots scrambling for tickets on here' date=' not sure of the interest in real world[/quote'] Was up there at 4:30 and had to wait 15 mins. Steady queue with 3 windows open. The guy next to me asked for 2, I asked for 4 (3 non regulars) and I think we were the exceptions as everyone else was asking for 10 plus. As others have mentioned I think it will be a combination of people who don't know go pushing the total up and then others having loads left as they've just asked for too many (as there was no reason not to).

Window Cleaner Posted 5 May, 2011 Share Posted 5 May, 2011 I expect there'll be a good crowd all the, same, a chance to see promotion winning saints for free shouldn't be missed.

Deppo Posted 5 May, 2011 Share Posted 5 May, 2011 I don't think anyone thinks that this game is part of the season. If we win we get 3 points and that could win us the title, I think? I know we're already up, but it would be great to go up as Champions - imagine how much better our open top bus parade would be. Can anyone confirm that another 3 points and a Brighton loss would put us top? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
