4 seats (they sold the third one along of these to some random stranger). We were in block E in the north stand either 7 or 11 rows up depending who you believe about numbering and whether there are three unmarked rows a pitchside.
They said for some reason they couldn't explain this seat wasn't entered properly into their computer system.

Its a good idea for you to suggest this, but we would be taking a big risk that someone decides not to take up their option on 4 peach seats. I don't think it will happen - there will be some odd scragg ends left.
If the seats they offfer us turn out to be sh*te and we have been lied to again, then I simply won't renew after next season and I'll get a seat at the HJ (that last bit is a joke obviously).

Think I might write to Tony directly.

Block E eh? Half way line territory?

South Stand blocks e and g, just either side of the half way line are possibilities but I can see your frustration.

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.

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.

Re: Season ticket sales : Sun Sep 04, 2011 6:56 pm  

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
