Makes you laugh doesn't it. All those people who campaigned so bitterly for standing sections in the new ground get their way then choose to sit on a seat anyway.

I campaigned for a standing section but at the time it was for another pop side, not a pop behind the sticks! I would imagine its the view that has undermined any terrace sales rather than the existence of terracing. But although I prefer a side on view, I prefer standing so that I can jump around and stuff so I've forfeited the view for the freedom. Others may have chosen differently.

I'm sure a lot of the walk up support will go on the terracing as it will be cheaper on the day than sitting?

Probably. The more the merrier from my POV!

I can understand the club not publishing anything on numbers. Lets say the 4-5k are all that has been sold. This would not create much of a buzz.

Also if Large numbers have been sold closer to 8k, thats hardly enough to say you are going to miss out There are 14k home tickets.

I'd imagine if the terracing was close to 75% sold out, then the club would then put up the warning signs that if you want to get the cheapest spot then the likely hood is you can't walk up on the day.
But until that point it's more a question of do you push now, or wait for christmas when people are more likely to splash the cash on themselves and others.

It would be tricky for most people to ask for a season ticket for Christmas but if teenagers got £50 - £100 of various auntes and uncles they maybe more likely to consider it.

I'm going to be a walk up as ever game for me is an away game. But were I go will be a bit of an unknown as the rest of my family will be in the allocated section. So it might be unallocated seating as close to their section as I can sit.

Either that or find a noisy section and go there.

Do you travel over to every home match? If you do, you can still get a season ticket you know. It works out cheaper and if you get it on direct debit you hardly feel the cost at all. Plus you get any benefits that go with it, like an invitation to a walk around the new stadium before the general rabble!

No I cant get to every home match. Last year I did more away matches than home matches. I should be able to make a few more this year but I would doubt it will top more than two thirds.

I'm assuming the corporate section includes all the unavailable seats in the south stand currently crossed out.

If the corporate did not sell out, does anyone know if these would become general sale south stand seats at south stand prices. Or would they not be able to sell them in case the pretend posh mix with the real posh.

I would hope that by the time the season starts the home standing area would be sold out to season ticket holders. If that does happen it would be interesting to see what they would do with the East stand, I expect tickets will be made available to home fans for the likes of Catalans and London.

I would have had the away end half stand and half seated to give the club more options when it comes to selling to away fans i.e. Larger clubs could have all the standing, smaller could have a block of seats.

It is good for the club to build up a culture of ticket buying. Having a standing side allows people to walk up and shove their way to the half way line. If you have to buy your ticket in advance to get a good view that helps the club guarentee income and protects the from low attendances if the weather is poor.

The highlighted bit is another reason why its better to have your terracing behind the sticks, as it doesnt then matter if you are smack in the middle of the posts are to the left or right. You still get pretty much the same view.

I'm not sure if to renew my season ticket. As our games are mostly Friday night I might not make it due to being very busy at work.

Can't make my mind up what to do.

Was speaking to the shop yesterday about an on line order and was informed that "they were very happy with season ticket sales levels" and when pressed was told "season ticket sales are ahead of target" without specifying the target which augurs well to the good.

Does anyone have any information on actual seat positions. The stadium plan shows blocks and rows, I,m trying to find the exact location of J224 in the south stand in relationship with the pitch markings.

Go on the Saints site and follow the links as if you're buying a ticket.

On the seating plan, you can identify each individual seat by hovering over them with the mouse.

buy it and class it as "corperate entertaining" and its a tax write off

Cheers for that, didn't work on an ipad, But shows up on a PC, the seat is around the "30 metre mark". Seems to be a lot more seats bought up compared to what was left available last week.

Just had quick look at saints site and the season tickets page. I entered in allocated seating for north stand and looked thru all the blocks. The don't seem to be many available at all.

Is the unavailable seats classed as the seats thst have yet to be renewed yet(like me) or have all the grey seats actually been taken?

renewal prices have gone now. So your seat is qavailable for resale. The only prices left are early bird. The un available crossed out seats are the corporate seats in the south stand. I think thats the common understanding anyways. If the seat is grey then its been sold.

That means nearly every seat in the north stand has been sold. Ive missed the renew deadline then. Not sure if im getting a season ticket this year as I'm flat out at work.


So based on that ticket system on the saints site, the north stand nearly sold out. What does the north stand hold?

The reserved seating sections in the North stand are pretty much sold out, however there are unreserved seats available in that stand. Although the view will be pretty much from the TRY line.

Does anyone know when the physical season tickets are going to be sent out? I'm presuming they haven't already gone as I ordered mine a few weeks ago - the money has gone from my bank but I've had nothing yet.

When i bought mine they said November sometime?

Cheers. That's put my mind at rest!

Bet Your Money has bought two extra sheets of cladding, so its gone too a good cause.

My head is wrecked with sorting my season ticket. I wasn't sure if to renew due to being very busy at work. I then thought stuff it I'll renew but the deadline has passed!

Now I'm looking and nearly app the seats are sold out!
