Yes you are right - we were right on the half way line. They are apparently offering us seats in row g in the south stand so its not the complete end to the world.

Block G is good. In the South Stand you will also be with a higher calibre of person.

Might I guess that you are in the south stand@

Was listening on the radio last night and the commentators seamed to suggest that the match programme mentioned that season ticket sales at Saints where running at record levels.

Not being there it's hard to tell what this means. Have we sold more than ever before already? Or have we sold more than we ever have done before at this time of year?

The first would be a great sign of progress, the 2nd would be expected, given that alot of season tickets where sold on a 5 year deal or a 2 year deal to fix prices.

Chair has posted some outline figures in the stadium thread

All boxes are sold out for the season & less than 200 premium seats remain = roughly 1,000 corporate sales
Approx 1,000 allocated South stand seating
Approx 2,500 allocated North stand seating

On top of that there are all the family seats and unallocated blocks we have no idea how many have gone in them

Standing, based on this year we have around 2,000 season ticket holders in the "West" (East at Widnes) and you would expect there to be significantly more sold before the start as it is the only standing area.

Latest estimate on reserved ticket sales having calculated the greyed out boxes on Saints website.

Some areas now have a few more places available than last week possibly due to people moving seats or me miscalculating by the odd seat or two.

Anyway here are my estimated sales as of today

North stand

C block 541 sold
D block 521 sold
E block 543 sold
F block 519 sold
G block 451 sold

This makes for a total of 2575 seats sold in the North stand reserved section, I make it 206 seats unsold in the North stand reserved area.
An increase of 56 on the previous week.

South stand

C block 13 sold
D block 273 sold
E block 181 sold
F block all premium seating
G block 263 sold
H block 122 sold
I block 216 sold

This makes for a total of 1068 Seats sold in the South stand reserved seating. An increase of 162 on the previous week

So we have a avg of just over 10,000 so far?

You what? We're averaging 7,000 at Widnes.

Thats how I saw it from chairs post but might be wrong.

quick question - i have 2 season tickets in North Stan Allocated. if I wanted then to take 2 other friends / family members along to a match I take it i could buy them tickets in North Stand Unallocated and then go and sit with them?

Or is that not allowed?

You're probably better popping on to the Saints website and asking the same question on the season ticket forum section. Saints have been answering a lot of questions on there.

I should think you would have to pay again for an unallocated seat because you have paid for your allocated seat, which would not be sold again if you didn't use it as it is reserved for you.

Taking friends along was one reason I chose the West Stand although whether there will be any 'unallocated' spaces left by the time the season starts I don't know. I might just ask that question myself on the Saints site, now I come to think of it!

cool - save me a job cockle
