its like this every easter, hull will have a similar schedule

Hull have Salford at home in the cup, presumably Sunday, Hull KR at home on Friday, Saints on Monday.

Definately a less rigorous schedule than ours, but we have an extra day to prepare for the Monday game.

I would say that that game will be one tough encounter - nearly as big a derby game as ours.

I think it's fair enough. They need to be sure, at point of exchange, that the ticket goes to the person who holds the season ticket and voucher. It stops people turning up with 24 season tickets getting freebies for people who have no intention of going, thus depriving non-season ticket holders of a chance to see the game. I do think ticket sales should be limited to 2 per season ticket holder not 4.
I still predict a riot though.

So my sister is now going to have to make an extra trip to st helens with her baby just to get a ticket I could have picked up for her when I got mine?

Thankfully my dad is off work on friday or he wouldn't be able to get in to pick up his ticket at all.

Doesn't seem very well thought through to me.

I couldn't agree more.

Assuming the club has received as many tickets as there are season ticket holders why cannot each season ticket holder have a ticket reserved until, say, Sunday. Then, and only then, any uncollected tickets go on general sale.

What conceivable justification can there be for giving priority to friends of season ticket holders able to attend during the day on Friday (and then buy tickets for such friends) over season ticket holders who are working, live some distance away, or both.

Exactermundo!

As the free round 4 ticket was advertised as another reason to buy a season ticket, people could argue that they are entitled to a ticket. unless of course there is a nice "subject to availiability" notice

Send an A team to wigan....Are all these matches on the tele...

skid is pickign up 4 tickets on friday, 1 for you if you want it pal. little syd is coming along to of course.

Is it free, with me being a tele/top noggs (oh no it's shut) season ticket holder!

No...

Just get with the times!

We get the game credited on to our season ticket cards without having to do anything, technology, it's the future

Even if we had that capability how exactly would that work with an AWAY game and therefore a limited number of people able to attend due to the capacity of the ground and space for away fans?

Surely Saints have a duty to ensure tickets out to the correct people. It isn't a new phenomenon. Otherwise what is to stop people who have season tickets but don't intend to go giving it to other people, meaning less chance for people to get them on general sale.

The ability to buy four extra tickets is also a joke.

What is stopping someone going to pick up their own ticket and then giving it to someone else anyway?

To be honest if I wasn't going (which I am!) but I knew someone who would otherwise be paying for a ticket I would happily give them my free ticket and would imagine most people would probably do the same.

Making people have to go to get their own ticket does nothing but add to the hassle.

I'll put any money on anyone wanting a ticket, getting one.

saintsrlfc.com/news/1612 we have got 5k tickets. ST holders can now only get 2 extras.

As you say, inconvinience (sp). People are less likely to give the ticket away if they have to travel to the GPS Stadium to exchange a ticket.

That on it's own is fine to an extent, and i see your point, but to also allow four ticket to be purchased is ridiculous. It should be one or maybe two extra tickets at most IMO.

It's obviously not going to happen but if every season ticket holder bought 5 (one free and 4 extra) we would have sold out our capacity of tickets easily before they even go on general sale.

www.saintsrlfc.com/news/1612 Reduced to two tickets on top of the free one now. Much better but could still potentially end up with none left for general sale people.

There will be plenty left if we want them.

Hopefully.

As Gateaux has said, even if people don't attend they will probably give the free ticket away. We have more than 5,000 season ticket holders, if any are left for general sale it may only be a few hundred.

Read it though. We can get more.

All this panic may as well be faux panic for the sake of moaning.

We'll see what the queues are like outside the club shop tomorrow night. I predict chaos, with the 15,000 free junior season ticket holders in attendance!

I rang Saints today to ask what form of ID I would need to get my Free ticket and was told Driving licence, passport or letter etc. At the same time I asked would I be able to get my daughters and if so would I need some form of ID for her. I was told I could get her ticket. Only the person who was collecting the tickets needed to provide the ID.
