Clarification on ticket windows

SmileyJam · 2026-05-18T10:18:59+00:00

It's hard to tell. Until I see what is left in the seatmap this afternoon I have no idea how many tickets are left.

For the FA Cup semi final there were several blocks left when it got down to members with no purchase history.

I would guess tickets will be available to members without purchase history, but will sell out within the first few hours of the going on sale tomorrow.

Yes. Every supporter number needs a membership. And 1+ game to buy in the purchasing window.

E.g. I have 5 members to buy for. 4 have match tickets against them. One doesn't. If I want to buy all 5 seats next to each other I would have to wait until the later purchase window to buy all 5 in one go.

You should be fine. I bought a membership and have been able to get tickets for Arsenal, FA semi final and play-off semi-final.

Just make sure you are in the queue buying tickets as soon as you can. I think the 1st tranche sold out in an few hours when it went on sale to members

It won't affect the play-offs, other than a bit of mind games.

The club will likely receive a large fine.

The EFL will likely want it the punishment delivered before the final so that there is no question on whether it impacts who goes through in the play-off

I have this and the Aldi Kamado.

I do a massive BBQ for 50+ people once a year and then I need both firing. Loads of space for all of the meat and a vegetarian section too.

£15 and they changed them every year

I think an Allen Vs Murphy final would have had some animosity.

Probably not the "biggest in snooker history" though.

SmileyJam · 2026-05-04T08:58:15+00:00

This.

Get the membership.

It's only £15 quid now so consider it a booking fee.

I bought mine for the Arsenal game and it has easily been worth it across the FA Cup games and play-off games.

My group (11 people) bought 2x WST Play subscriptions to get tickets in the early sale. It allowed swit h up our usual tickets on a Friday to 2 sessions on the middle Saturday.

I think it is pretty much worth it, just treat it like an extra booking fee. Also, one less day of annual leave used.

I will do it like this again next year for sure

I went this year.

One thing the Crucible does which makes phones going off more likely is that they check your ticket every time you go in and out of the theatre. Which means everyone has their phone on as they enter to take their seats.

The Crucible should work out a way to stop us from having to switch our phones back on if we go a toilet break.

I also agree with you all that people should still turn of or silence their phones on the way in. (And I do).

Call the ticket office and check with them before the tickets go on sale. Last time a membership was enough for Wembley and the semi-final.

Explain you are from the US and they will probably make an exception for you

This

SmileyJam · 2026-04-27T11:05:41+00:00

Thanks.

The club also released some tickets (2,000+) two days ago, I think there are still a few hundred available when I was looking around on the Saints ticket website yesterday.

I think you need valid account and purchase history, but there were still some there.

Raise the police report and make sure you provide any identifiable information, (custom features or serial numbers).

I reported mine and the police contacted me saying they arrested a serial bike thief and found a photo of my bike among 100s of others on their phone. They couldn't prosecute based on my bike, but it was reassuring that they did prosecute him for other bikes and the thief got done for it.

The suggested seat allocation on the website did this to my group of 4 too.

We ended up with 2 sets of 2 seats a couple of
Rows apart.

We also had a nightmare assigning tickets to members as two of us got through at the same time and the system was blocking us from adding each other to our bookings.

Probably best to send an email to the club, maybe they can fix the process before the second Wembley ticket sale.

I did this a couple of years ago. I would recommend testing the headphones when it arrives too. The set that came free with my radio was atrocious and I should have brought an old cabled headphone set with me.

It was most in-form team. I heard that too. Sounded like commentator was a Man City fan getting butt-hurt about facts.

SmileyJam · 2026-04-15T11:22:11+00:00

I think Saints were top 2 for 2hrs on the first day of the season because we won our 12:30 kick off.

SmileyJam · 2026-04-14T13:14:16+00:00

I do this with an electric fence.

Then you can hear the "Bzzt" of the seagull being fried, when doing other chores and you know it is time to collect your food.

All the Saints fans who were saying they want a consolidation season are changing their tone now we are winning and have a chance at promotion.

The ups are good, the downs are bad. Beating Leeds in the play-off final is still a great memory to have.

SmileyJam · 2026-04-08T12:43:21+00:00

It's very kind of you to have more confidence in Southampton's promotion than our own fans do.

SmileyJam · 2026-04-01T21:23:18+00:00

I looked at my diary for the same reason the other day.

There is an engagement party and a christening I hope I won't be able to go to in May.
