I have been a season ticket holder for over 30 years.

If you renew a seat near the half way line Dragan will send Phil Parsons round to do the honours. Make of that what you will!

Poor form having a price increase for me personally. The club has shafted an incredibly loyal fanbase that turn up in good numbers despite regularly being served a shit sandwich, and they’ve tried promoting it like we should be lucky they’re doing us a favour.

Unless the game falls during half term of course in which case he won't be there.

[Divergent]

I’ve renewed. Think the prices are ok when you break it down to a per match basis. 

[Draino76]

First time purchase!  I'm all in for Portsmouth and Boro away.

Or Boro at home, he’ll be too busy trying to find Gibson to tell him all of our secrets.

It’s £1 extra for me £23.82 per game when Eastleigh are charging £21 it isn’t bad still!

[Pamplemousse]

It's cheaper than when I first got my season ticket (albeit we were in the Prem then) so can't complain really

It’s a good price that I can’t argue with, what I really struggle with is that after a disastrous Prem campaign and near record relegation, our fans massively backed the side with ST numbers, only to be served up 4 months of Will Still shite, and then after bringing the noise for the run in and the playoffs we find out the club have cheated and our effort as fans was basically null and void. Then instead of a PR exercise to win back the trust the club are like “yeah it’s an increase, but aren’t you lucky it’s not more!”

Just find it all a bit poor to be honest, think our loyalty gets abused by the owners, and we’re not angry enough about it.

My Eastleigh season ticket (yes had Saints and Eastleigh season ticket) was £99 but nest season its £295. So got a Winchester City one for £120, along with Saints!

I'm sure one of the FAB agenda points was to use the season ticket increase to improve the catering.

 

Edit: Wouldn't have happened under Lowe. 

Edit: The catering. Not wondering about the prices when in a .lower division. That would definitely happen.

Don’t wish to single you out but this is fairly typical of a lazy victim type response from a section of our fans.  In return I would point out:

- inflation and tax changes mean it costs the club, like any business, more than last year

- we are already making a loss

- the energy consumption needs of a stadium and training facilities mean even more price sensitive

- have you heard of financial fair play?  Where do you think revenue comes from?

- were you not entertained last season?

Saying “I can’t afford it” is a totally different position which sadly applies to some fans.  But an anti club rant without addressing these facts is just lazy I am afraid

I don't think it's lazy to expect the club to do some kind of gesture to fans who paid out for Middlesborough home/ away . At the end of the day it was the clubs fault that this happened and the fans have had a miserable end to the season. To refund everyone's ticket costs for these would cost around £1M (and they could do it as a club shop credit or something which would halve the cost) which is fuck all considering they were prepared to sit there ad pay McCarthy £2M/£3M per year (just as an example)

Do you want us to be competitive next season? Its about a quid a game extra, if the club gave you back 2 quid a game discount would that have made a difference to your life? I suggest not, having the comeptitive team out there and the club financially sound is what i want, and those highs were worth the ticket alone. There are England fans paying a grand for one game, i doubt they will get the elation of the Shea or Azaz moments we had

[OldNick]

ANyway i bought mine last night

[suewhistle]

Just bought mine. A very quick process for parting with ~£600!

If it’s such an insignificant increase Nick why bother with an increase at all. Of course I want us to be competitive, but a net gain of £500k from ticket increases to a club that spent £12 million on Gavin Bazunu is pretty negligible. Could have froze prices this season and doubled the increase next year and nobody would have batted an eyelid.

I have a wife and two kids, that I love more than anything in the world, but I also love Southampton football club, almost as much and as such tens of hundreds of hours of my life is spent on watching and following Saints either in person or at home. All of that time invested last season travelling home and away in the hopes of seeing this side challenge for something, which they did, was then cruelly taken away from us by a handful of selfish people and our club became a national disgrace and joke as a result.

Now said club want to increase the ticket prices for those loyal fans, because they know they’ll pay it, despite their incredible support and yet to you, anyone who criticises that decision is a “lazy victim” to do so.

what an utter bellend response.

And next year youd moan about it. You are a committed fan and do spend a lot of money on the club but whilst 1m is not a lot of money in the big scheme it does come aginst our profit and sustainibility, think how Dragan feels, he losing millions not 1.23 a game.

There’d be no moaning if the club hadn’t just shafted the fans out of promotion.

For a bit of perspective Oriol Romeu cost the club £825k for his short pointless stint last season. But yeah, let’s hit the long suffering fans in the pocket instead to raise some funds.

[revolution saint]

I've just renewed my ST.  Was always going to renew if we were in the Championship anyway and I'm looking forward to a cracking season.  

[DellBlockH]

Just renewed. The purchase page offered me a load of "bolt ons" to buy without explaining what I'd get for the quite large amounts of money required. It's very unlikely I'd spend more than the basic cost of renewal, but it's definitely not going to happen if you don't tell me what I get. I've been back and checked the website and can't find any information there either. If it's not there, or hidden away, how do they expect to sell these extras?

Well I dont think the club shafted me out of promotion, the manager messed up and we missed the opportunity for promotion. You should be thankful as if we went up it wouldnt be £1.23 a game you'd be paying extra, but hunderds of pounds and 4 less games at home to watch! 

Iam of the opinion that we had some wonderful excitement some outstanding memories all in amongst the terrible disaster of Spygate. It frustrates the life out of me that it was a needless act, I do wonder if Tonda is a bit of a Rain Man and just needs every box ticked whatever

[rallyboy]

After the anger we all felt maybe it's time to decide whether you're on the bus or not.

If some don't want to continue that's cool, free choice, but also understand that the majority of us want to fuck over the EFL and Middlesbrough, and that requires money. 

So I've just renewed. 

[waterlooville saint]

I bought mine yesterday using the instalment option. Couldn’t afford one at all last year as was in sh@t street, but did get a membership and things had turned round enough by January to do all the home games.

Really looking forward to this season and seeing us stick 2 fingers up to the EFL and win the league.

Well we can always hope.

You’re right Nick, I’m so thankful that the club take my support for granted they can shit on my promotion dream, increase my season ticket price, and make it seem like they’re doing ME the favour.

The point about promotion costing us more is moot, we’d be paying for a premium product and paying the wages for a better level of player. As it stands we don’t know who our manager is going to be and which players are going to still be here, so we could be paying more for an inferior product to last year. 
 

I commend every single one of us that invest their time and/or money supporting this club, it’s a rollercoaster to say the least, but for me that increase has left a sour taste regardless of how small it is.

You’re right, that’d be tearing my nose off to site my face though. I just want these owners to stop treating us paying fans like a bunch of mugs.
