How are they going at Saints? Hope it will be a good attendance and a cracking atmopshere as always.

Our offical website is claiming our allocation is nearly all gone and us hoping to get some more adult tickets in over the next few days.

I would imagine it's going to be a sell out or close to.

That would be brilliant. How many does it hold again? 13k?

13.5k I think.

I know the is still hospitality packages left which IMO great value for money!

that must've been some windfall mate

The East stand behind the goal were Saints are is sold out.
The North stand has around 500 seats left unsold
The South stand looks to have around 2000 left unsold, this is according to Saints online booking system.
Wire claim to have pretty much sold out the west stand.

At present we are probably looking at around 9-10k in ticket sales.

We have been given another 200 tickets this morning, that is on top of our allocation, therefore we've been given about 3,000. Does this mean ticket sales aren't going well at Saints, that we have had to be given a further supply of them?

It means it's Wire's year.

No silly next year is "Year of the Wolf"

Some Saints fans think that travelling to Widnes to support their team is the equivalent of travelling to the moon and so will choose the pub instead. Not that some Saints fans need an excuse to choose watching the game in a pub over actually watching a game!

Warrington also given some tickets for the South Stand. I am suprised that Saints are struggling to sell out for a game like this. It doesn't auger well for attendances for games against teh likes of Harlequins, Huddersfield, etc

Warrington don't sell out many of their home games at their actual home, so it's hardly a surprise that we can't sell out at someone elses.

Im very puzzled as we have been told we have sold more season tickets this compared to last year at KR.

That means that either our regular and occasional non-season ticket fans don't fancy it or there are not as many dire fans either because we haven't given them enough tickets or they don't fancy it which would be odd.

Any know how many tickets we gave them and they sold for the SL match at KR last year?

You can pick your seat for games this year (except for those taken by season ticket holders obviously). The North, East and Away end are practically sold out, but there are alot of seats available for the South Stand (corporate stand in the new stadium).

Have we? I remember Saints posting that at one point sales of season tickets were up on last year but is that the same as saying we have sold more than last year? I asked at the club shop and was told that we sold over 5000 season tickets this year. That sounds low but I have no idea how many have been sold previously.

6,800 last year. For Friday, our allocation is just shy of 3,000.

Very true. Maybe 2/3 times a year tops.

As for Friday, I would expect 10-11k.

I expect a few hundread will have bought directly from Saints aswell

Just logged on to the ticketing allocations, still around 2000 seats left in the South Stand, West and East Stands almost full, North Stand 80 seats left. As already mentioned looking like 10 11 k.

we brought 6500 last year but we the tickets we gone straight away and this year it was a race to get them at the start plus not many made available for trade in season tickets and not many people no wen we have more and wen they sell out. we sold about 3500-4000 this year

To be fair though, you lot were whinging like mad about the allocation, saying season ticket holders would snap up the lot, when in reality there were still plenty left out of the initial 2500 even after season ticket holders had received their fill of tickets.

Any wire fan that wants to go can go. Nothing stopping wire fans from picking up tickets at Warrington, or buying from Saints. Or turning up on the night and buying tickets.

I suspect the main reason such numbers travelled last year was the belief you would do us at the last ever KR match, and you all wanted to be there.

When you failed, this match just became another away game. Hence far less demand.

North stand has just shy of 200 unsold seats in H block alone.
Altogether of seats avaialble to Saints fans i make it around 300 -350 unsold in the North stand.

Southstand is looking pretty empty, bar corporate seats at the back and D block on the half way line which lookks 3/4 filled.
The other blocks from A to H have only a smattering of sold tickets. for example A block has only 16 tickets showing sold out of approximately 250

Either way, we've done our bit: Quote ="Saints website"The East Stand has sold out whilst Warrington have sold their allocation of West Stand tickets.'" Link: www.saintsrlfc.com/news/page/531

It still doesn't make much sense; if the south stand is nearly empty that means surely that we haven't sold our own "home" allocation in spite of having sold more season tickets than at KR? Does this then mean that the casual / irregular support has dropped off significantly?
Lets face it, this is the first home game and also one of the big games of the season and whatever way it is described, you would have hoped for a sell out.

I know a lot of my dire mates are not going because they assumed rightly or wrongly that tickets were in short supply as the club had only been given 2500. I supsect if we had given them 4000-5000 they would have sold more than the just under 3000 that they have actually sold, (perhaps not all of them but more than ar present).
