trousers Posted 22 May, 2013 Share Posted 22 May, 2013 I'd have to spend £300 in the megastore for the discount to offset the increase in price can't see it being the case for many!! Fair point. That works out to about £15 average spend in the megastore per game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Louis Posted 22 May, 2013 Share Posted 22 May, 2013 Sorry if this is a stupid question....

Matthew Le God Posted 22 May, 2013 Share Posted 22 May, 2013 Under 11s in the Itchen, £820. F*ck me. It was £780 last season. They are the best views in the stadium, so they won't want to offer concessions. Take under 11's to the family section for £105 instead. Plus purchase 2 Adult tickets in the Family Stand and you can claim 1 free Under 11 ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 22 May, 2013 Share Posted 22 May, 2013 Yes, they are hardly German prices, my renewal price is going up from £675 to £709. But we are a Premier League team in Hampshire in a modern stadium, so the prices were always going to be relatively high. Not to mention the ambitions for where Cortese wants to take the club quickly, so I would expect the summer transfers to help justify the increase from out first season back in the Premier League. I'm quite happy with what they've done, as it seems many others in this thread are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a family of four it is an increase of £160 in total compared to last season to buy new tickets in the Itchen Premium. 2012/13 - £3,120 2013/14 - £3,280 It is actually for a very limited number of seats, the Itchen Premium is a small area and alot in it are existing season ticket holders. You could sit in block 9 or 5 of the Itchen, have good central(ish) views and under 11 tickets would cost £215 new and £194 to renew.

Saints foreva Posted 22 May, 2013 Share Posted 22 May, 2013 Fully expected it to be £620 for my renewal due to me being 21 in July but its great to see that the club changed the concession age from 17-20 to 17-21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought that with the increased tv revenue the club could've frozen prices for this year. yeah, it is a bit of a p*ss take to be honest, i understand the "Admin fee" its pretty standard, but maybe they could have done it per order. It certainly doesnt cost £150 to set up a DD. althought to justify it in your mind it's "only" £15 a month on top of your season ticket spread over 10 months, or 50p a day, which represents tremendous value to see a young, vibrant exciting team, lead by one of the top young managers in Europe, the greatest chairman whoever lived at the helm and the man who once wrote to coaching manual for England on the transfer committee.

The Cat Posted 22 May, 2013 Share Posted 22 May, 2013 1 free under 11's ticket with 2 adults in the family section. Wasn't this one free with one adult last season? Overall prices are pretty much what I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 22 May, 2013 Share Posted 22 May, 2013 How many did we sell last year and is there a limit as to how many ST's they'll allow to be sold? There were around 22-23,000 sold for the 2012/13 season. As they guarantee you a ticket for home cup games as a season ticket holder (not necessarily your own seat, but "a" seat), then the maximum number of available tickets is the 32,500 capacity less corporate seating (around 1,800, IIRC), less the 4,700 maximum away allocation, so that leaves 26,000. However, I'd be very surprised if the club allowed all seats to be sold to season ticket holders, so I reckon they'll set a level at around 24,500 or so, so they've still got a couple of thousand to sell on a game-by-game basis.

View From The Top Posted 22 May, 2013 Share Posted 22 May, 2013 Would like to have kept them but with Sunday/Monday/mid-week games out due to our own sporting commitments and work there seems little point in renewing, especially with the nipper moving from U11 to U17 adding to the cost.
