Sorry, but that's rubbish. I'm a STH, and I wouldn't have even got a Saints ticket at all if I hadn't pestered the ticket office with an email, and then got this eleventh-hour phone today, as detailed upthread. So they clearly haven't "all sold out", or, at least, some have been put aside. People are a damn sight less likely to buy a ST next season, if it's not even going to guarantee first dibs at Cup and away fixtures. hopefully it'll all be sorted out soon, but to dismiss fans' concern as no more than people whingeing that haven't got a plastic season ticket yet is way off the mark.

The club has confirmed all tickets for Good Friday have now been sold.

It isn't tho. Have you not read the threads on other site. People moaning because they haven't go their ST "even though the paid for it last year" etc. There are plenty of people moaning about it.

FWIW, I can only go off my experience. I logged on last week and could buy one ticket for the Saints game. That's my allocation and I didn't take it up. It was simple & the ticket was there if I wanted it. Likewise, I've logged on for Sheffield tickets and my ticket is reserved for me.

Sigh. As I hoped I'd made clear, my experience was not as fortunate as yours. And I'm not the only one. Sure there are some people complaining about season tickets. But that's not all of it. It's just muddying the waters to suggest so. Plenty of people have had issues obtaining Saints and Sheffield tickets. The fact that you appear not to be one of them, is not the point.

Here's hoping the beer chuckers have missed out

I never said it was the only issue, but there are plenty of people across multiple channels who are complaining about nothing.

As bad as your situation is, we've sold 7k tickets via the portal. That's gotta be a high % of fans who can and are using the system.

Likewise, I've seen people complaining on the other site and on social about STH being able to buy up to 4 tickets. Whilst they could do that, it wasn't as simple as every STH going in and getting four to dish out to their mates.

For all the bad (which isn't acceptable), it needs to be tempered to say it is, in part, working.

I'd say yes and no to this, but thats basically because its what i do for a job, and there is no way i would have gone live with the issues that appear to be inherent in the system. Basic one appears to be missing data i.e. ST holders

however, on a positive note i am not a season ticket holder and wasnt able to buy a ticket for Saints away, so there are some controls in place and working

And, i think in support of one of your earlier arguments, we should be celebrating the selling out of an away match (i know GF at Saints should sell out every year we play there) but in the last 18 months, we've had Leigh, Warrington, Salford all with record home gates when Wigan have travelled there

If anyone knows of x2 for sale, I’d appreciate the shout.
Thanks in advance

Bought my GF tickets (x2) in person as soon as they went on sale. Me and my lad who's also a season ticket holder.

Can i just clarify something on those season ticket holders who managed to purchase online? When allocating up to three other people did they have to also be season ticket holders ie, you needed to link their client code?

I think that’s right you could by 4 tickets if they were also ST holders, and have their clients code. I couldn’t by online my mate went in person and got one for me using my code.

OK cheers, so whilst it's 'technically possible' that you could purchase tickets for non-season ticket holders (by using a code from a non attending season ticket holder) then its "highly likely" that the "vast majority" of the Saints Away end will be attended by current season ticket holders.

I bought two and it wouldn’t let me check out until I’d entered a valid code and name for the second ticket, assume it would be the same for anyone buying the full four

As much as some traditionalists may not want it, I definitely think there's an argument to move the Good Friday fixture to a bigger stadium and really push it. If both teams got a home fixture against each other later in the year through loop fixtures I think it would be worth the gamble to trial it if it stacked up financially.

Lots of comments on social media from disgruntled supporters accusing season ticket holders where they have been allowed to get away with a 'free for all', buying tickets for mates/family or even selling them on for financial gain.

I wonder how many of these disgruntled supporters were at Salford on Thursday night?
