looking at individual blocks in the reserved sections the approximate figures are as follows:-

North Stand

C block = 20 seats remaining
D Block = 7 seats remaining
E block = 2 seats remaining
F block = 12 seats remaining
G block = 65 seats remaining

So just 105 seats unsold within the reserved section of the North stand, giving total sales in the North stand of approximately 2682 seats.

South Stand
C block = 345 seats remaining, 36 sold
D block= 38 seats remaining, 244 sold
E block = 0 seats remaining, 211 sold
F block = corporate prawn sandwich
G block = 0 seats remaining, 275 sold
H block = 3 seats remaining,166 sold
I block = 97 seats remaining, 413 sold

So just 483 seats remaining in the reserved section of the South stand.

Total sales in South stand reserved are approximately 1345

Therefore reserved seat sales account for approximately 4027 of the 8000+ total

It's interesting that on the North Stand the unallocated section is almost as big as the allocated section.

I'm also intreged to know how many corporate seats there are, because the corporate section is rather large. There is the middle F section but also it seams to spread into the front rows of most of the south stand allocated section.
I thought maybe about 1000k corporate, but I've not counted. Then the unallocated and family ontop of that seams to be another 2k.

So in terms of sales if we can see 4k on the allocated section, if a further 1k is corporate, there could still be quite some space in the terracing on the west stand as I doubt that last 3k will be all west terrace. There will be a decent proportion in the family section.

Although there are two family sections i think in reality only the west corner will have any takeup, as thats were the home fans will be.
According to the plans this family section only has a capacity of just over 400. So it wont take that big a bite out of the 8k total.

Corporate capacity is indeed around 1000. However the fact Saints havent stopped selling this on the website shows there is some space left.

Saints have posted some info re their premier business club lounge which has capacity of 210 saying only 45 places left.

so that 165 corporates in that lounge on top of all those in the exec boxes which are sold out, which is another 148 people.

at least 313 prawn sandwich eaters therefore in the south stand.

Just had a quick glance over the Saints website, interesting to note that sales of tickets for the Widnes match are going pretty strong too. So much for the price tag being too steep.


But back on topic, it does look like there is a little bit of seat switching going on. some blocks actually having more seats available than previously (whilst the overall trend is still down)

I wonder if this is just people turning up and asking if they can change for a same priced seat or the ticket office asking people if they want to move so they can block more groups of seats together in the remaining sections, therefore making them more appealling for people who have not bought yet?

Re: Season ticket sales : Thu Nov 24, 2011 1:28 pm  

I was talking to a Widnes fan and he couldnt get a ticket for the game as we havent sent many over there so not sure how many tickets Widnes got

Re: Season ticket sales : Sun Nov 27, 2011 11:41 pm  

Looks like the North Stand will sell out, only 78 seats left.

C section in the south stand is going slowly, but if they sell out the corporate seats then it will be try line to try line with Saints fans.

I may have to end up standing in the away end on my visits if this keeps up. Well done all.

Re: Season ticket sales : Mon Nov 28, 2011 3:13 pm  

Do you not think there will be seating made available for away fans?
The HJ have a block at the end of their stand which they allocate to the away club.
Will you not be doing the same?

There are 'unallocated' blocks at the away ends of both the north and south stands, I think, which would be provided to away fans wishing to purchase a seat.

Reading on Saints twitter that the South West family block is pretty full.
