Wasn't today the first day for Saints fans to pick up their season tickets?

Correct.

I picked mine up around 9:15 this morning. It was all very organised and the staff, including the lady subject to the public criticism on here, were pleasant and helpful despite being extremely busy.

Well done Saints, and the shop staff.

As an aside, they've issued a swipe card AND a book full of tickets - I quite liked the idea of slipping my season pass into my wallet rather than take the whole book with me, but this mightn't be possible.

Also includes 50% of Magic tickets and 5% off training wear.

Is the saints shop open late tonight for late night shopping?

Yup. I spent over an hour in the growing queue this morning. Got my season ticket and free bag of Typhoo tea!

Everyone was very friendly and polite, including sourpuss. I was served by Christine who is always really nice.

If you have a five year ticket, btw, and plan to renew it this week, there has been a hold up of 600 five year tickets so although yours may be there, it may not be. Only way to find out is by queueing up! If it's not there today then it will be in on Monday.

Oh, and if you renewed/bought your season ticket after 10 November it won't be at the shop until Monday.

Is the shop at the ground open yet?

Nope. But it's due to be open by the time we go to the STH training event on the 9th. Apparently the sports cafe is due to be open by then as well.

Is that defo 100% that we can't pick up are season tickets until Monday if we've bought them after 10th November?

Yep. 100% definite. One of the stewards went up the line while I was queueing telling people that. One guy came out of the line as a result and just went into the shop to buy some merchandise instead as he had bought one later than 10 November.

Typical saints, not letting anyone know!

Lucky enough I didn't waste my and leave work early to pick my tickets up.

Not sure they knew themselves until they arrived. The tickets that are available only arrived on Wednesday, which is amazingly close to the 1 December pick up kick off.

My daughter as just been to the saints shop to ask were the 3 season tickets she ordered on line are has she wants to go the open evening at the new ground this coming friday night as its season tickets only .To be told she may not get them in time as they have not been mailed out yet ,SO you hand over 600 quid for 3 tickets in oct the club puts a event on and you cant go to it because the club have not got their act together . New ground but the same crap when it comes to organisation. .

Surly we should be allowed use the tickets they gave us when we bought our season tickets ?

I'll play fook if I can't govthis open training season and they can also shove the stadium tour up there bums as well.

I'll be on the phone to them first thing Monday morning to see what the score is.

What are you going on about Pete?

I presume he is referring to the receipts we got when buying season tickets. They were printed out using the actual match ticket machines so look like tickets.

Correct
