Wrexham tickets

[EssEffCee]

Nice to see the club taking a big chunk out of our smallest away allocation of the season. This was at 9:20ish.

They should really publish how many go to players / staff and also regional supporters clubs

Needing 30+ aways , must be a record for a Saints away game. New ground for most of us , can't imagine many went for the league cup game in Sept 1979

That's ridiculous ... i am on 28 aways so gonna be fuming if i miss out on this one!!

And difficult to get a ticket in the home end as well. I think they’re balloting every home game.

That’s really poor. Without counting the dots the retained seats look something like 25% of the allocation. If the club must retain seats for whoever they deem worthy then maybe it should be done in proportion to the overall allocation. This appears disproportionate. If previous away games are anything to go by some of these seats will be empty on the night. This whole business is something which our fan advisory board should take up with the club but they’re more interested in busing people around Portsmouth. Really wanted to go to this match. Zero chance.

An Arsenal fan i know said they lost 400 out of their 1300 at Bournemouth, seems certain club sponsors/ executive box holders etc get to put in for tickets as and when they want them, Saints might be the same 

[CheshireSaint]

Might be worth considering for those that want to, when Chelsea played there recently in the FA Cup, they mobbed up in Chester (my home town) and took full advantage of £3 pint all day without loads of plod giving them mither. Plenty of them enjoyed it so much, they stayed and watched the match on the tele. They were well behaved too as everyone in Chester was also supporting Chelsea that day. Only 15 minutes on the train with trains running every 20 - 30 mins. Chester is also a nice city, whereas Wrexham simply isn't. You'd be made very welcome.

Need to get the FAB on this ASAP 

[die Mannyschaft]

Ridiculous allocation especially once the free bees have gone. Why cant the club buy corporate seats or a box/porta cabin for staff.

[LGTL]

I’m on 27 so not holding out too much hope looking at that!

I reckon you'll be fine. Can't be huge amounts of people in the next few categories and a few will swerve it being midweek.

I’d second that. I know Wrexham quite well and Chester is much the better option in which to stay and eat and drink out.

FAB will just want to give priority to fans on official travel 🚌

Its also in school holidays off the back of Easter bank holiday, might make it tricky for some (or perhaps easier taking time off etc)

Rightly so. All true fans will be travelling this way decked head to toe in club attire, using SFC branded flask, lunch boxes and back pack.

Are you sure this isn’t the area for the FAB, the safe space for the LGBTs, the allocation for our overseas fans and the regional supporters groups?

The minutes read: The club have been working with football ops to reduce the number of empty seats (player comps) and to put these back on sale. FAB asked how many tickets are made available to non-paying attendees. MSilv confirmed numbers available in line with EFL regulation. 

[Appy]

My email about the game arrived at 09:17 this morning telling me I could buy a ticket at 9:30. 
 

Not the biggest heads up.

Very good point (idea). I am guessing they just offer the same amount to each player/official no matter what the away allocation size is.

SFC ticket office never changes even if the entire rest of the world does.

As a fellow adopted Cestrian, I concur.

Wonder if any of the club tickets blocked out will go back on sale if not taken up, worth keeping an eye on that , can't be having wasted empty seats for a game like this

Pretty certain a few will, when players and corporates decide they can’t go.

do they get the tickets for free? If they do then they don't have any reason to return them other than good manners. With such a small allocation it would be nice if the club insisted tickets were used, made any 'freebies' pick them up at Wrexham, and then they could see if they were actually used.  Seeing as away tickets bring no money into the club, I imagine the club will do fuck all (I mean, what do they care, and why would they want to make it hard for players families and sponsors?) and it will be all forgotten in a few weeks time. If I had 26 aways and didn't get a ticket, I'd be a bit narked if I saw an empty seat in that away end.

No idea if they get them for free, I just know the process for Regional Supporters Clubs

Not sure about players but corporate and club staff have to pay for them
