If we are looking to the last 3000 tickets then that's a great effort by the team.

I'm telling you that IF we are down to our last couple of thousand (not my words), then we have quite obviously sold more than 13k.

In order to come to this conclusion I took our capacity, knocked off a couple of thousand and realised the answer was more than 13k. Hope this helps!

Only a handful of single seats left in the north and south stands when I went on today.

I always get that buzz of excitement when i order my ticket for the game. COYS !!!!

James - Sit Down, has just come on in the office and it made me massively excited for this season and this game in particular. I hope it gets played over the tanoy a few times this season as for me it's the soundtrack of the 2014 Grand Final. Perhaps even get a chorus going in the West Stand.

Is there any particular section allocated to neutrals?

"Regular" Saints fans will most likely pick the East Stand last so I imagine that will have the largest proportion of neutrals.

You can come and sit near me Robbo, I'll look after you.

You would be fine anywhere, obviously the majority of the stadium will be supporting the Saints, but no one will care if you are not.

The East stand is bigger than the west?

Thought the main west stand would have been the bigger.

I think the West Stand loses a bit of space because of disabled areas.

John Sutton is out for 6 weeks, so is looking like he'll miss the game.

Who is he?

Saints Twitter before said that there are 400 tickets left in the west stand, limited seating left and 2,500 tickets sold in the east stand.

Looking good

Is it? What's the capacity these days? We should be selling this game out, anything less is a failure.

There's over a month to the game and it sounds like we're pretty much down to the east stand (where 2500 have already been sold).

Of course that's good going, there is a long time until kick off and plenty more tickets will move.

Both East and West hold about 4500. So that's 2500 left. With some limited seat space. So we must have sold close to 15000.

I'm sure the rest will go in time.

Pay day in 11 days should probably push the remaining few, some people would have got christmas pressies, other would have been buying presents for others so could not justify the outlay at Christmas.

January is always a tight month financially for most.

Unless it has changed neither the East or West stand have a capacity above 3900. Roughly 1800 terrace tickets left.

The West and East stands together can take exactly 7800 spectators, The East stand is the larger of the two.

Well he was their captain in 2014 but has been replaced by Inglis as captain for this season. He's still part of their leadership group that Maguire likes to use.

My bad thought they were bigger stands than that.

But on a positive makes us even closer to capacity than I thought,

Approaching 16,000 ticket sales with still a month to go, looking more like a sell out.

West stand is now sold out.

So we are down to 1500 left to go, people waiting for January pay day may miss out at this rate.

Less than 500 tickets available in the East Stand now.

So, with the West Stand sold out and probably about 100 single seats left in the North and South Stands, it looks like we have sold about 17,400 tickets already. Great effort!!!

Excellent news. 500 is nothing. It's effectively a sell out and before the final pay day too.

Nice little money spinner, should have copied Wire and done a special edition shirt too
