Quote: roader "What I mean is that because we were adding two tickets and the seats next to us were taken, we were advised to just buy early bird tickets somewhere else in the ground. So we did this online at home rather than waiting in the queues at the forums. So Saints don't as yet know the two tickets we had elsewhere in the North Stand won't be renewed, so they can't have sold them. I know this has also happened with about 14 of my extended family who have moved from the North Stand into the South.
When the renewals deadline passes, all the unrenewed season tickets will become available for purchase. Obviously the majority of people will buy season tickets for next season, buying them for Widnes and then not going to the new ground will be rare. But what will happen is people will have just bought early bird offers in other parts of the ground.
So have you paid extra for early bird tickets instead of changing your two renewal tickets and buying two adjoining seats?'"
Yes, but not by much. Because we're changing the profile of the tickets it worked out to be just £3 dearer buying early bird family tickets rather than renewing the existing tickets and adding the extras. It wasn't worth saving £3 to stand in the queue for two hours or return to St Helens another day.
