Are the tickets still £17.50 if I buy them from the Saints shop in town.

Only tomorrow (Thursday). Friday is matchday so they will go up to full price then. Or they will if they follow the league match pattern anyway.

Yep,but there may be a long queue.

yes there will particularly as Saints charge £5 postage to send them out

a lot of giants fans have got family tickets . saints would not send any of these to Huddersfield so we have had to buy them from saints ( which will not go down as Huddersfield sales).

A handy way of keeping sales high for saints, low for Huddersfield and then can be used to down grade the support we take.

Pretty poor show by Saints TBF

Dont get me started on the telephone system we had to use to order them. I hope the new stadium has some good telephone lines to service it.

We've had to put up with that all season so count yourselves lucky you've only had it for one match!

Why should Saints send them to Hudds? Not all clubs have family tickets. It's a Saints offer presumably for Saints fans so if you want to buy something that Saints offer for their fans then I guess you get treated like a Saints fan! lol!

Then why not pay more and buy from Hudds, who aren't offering a family ticket? The money all goes to the RFL you know. All that Saints get is what is needed to cover costs.

Again, we have had to put up with that forever, so count yourselves lucky! However, just because we are getting a new stadium doesn't mean we will get better service. That would probably be pushing things a bit too far!

We do offer family tickets for special games but because WE DO NOT CHARGE FOR CHILDREN only the adults have to pay.

Because the tickets are provided and circulated by the home club ( i could knock up my own but it might not go down well with the Plod or Saints H&S bods).

For some reason only known to saints they sent us ADULT tickets and CONCESSION tickets but NO family tickets

Possibly because, as SaintsFan has already suggested, the family ticket discount is a perk that Saints offer their home supporters?

Similar to a scheme that Hudds ran, IIRC (apologies if I have my clubs mixed up) a couple of seasons ago (might have even been a cup match?) where home fans bought cheap as chips tickets as a promo to get more local fans in, while us daft lot in the Saints end paid about £19 a ticket.

Nowt wrong with targetting offers at your home supporters, IMO.

You do not recall correctly.

Doing offers for the league rounds is commendable. However...

The play off games are the property of the RFL so there should be no differential pricing or promotions for different team's supporters. So selling them to Giants fans who contact Saints but not sending some directly to the Giants seems petty.

Whatever your management may be doing you play great rugby and your fans have always been great when I go to KR.

Until close of play tonight,they should be.

Re: Prices & Tickets Friday : Thu Sep 23, 2010 8:16 am  

Last week we sold 750 tickets at the Giants office and the rest that turned up paid on the day or from Wire pre match. We've sold over 1000 tickets so far from the Giants office for Friday but with family tickets only available from Saints then i'm expecting a better support at Knowsley road considering a fair amount of our fans are families. We bought ours from Saints to pick up on matchday.

Re: Prices & Tickets Friday : Thu Sep 23, 2010 12:36 pm  

How many do we reckon will be turning up for this emotional farewell?

If it were any other club, surely it would be a sell out?
