I thought ticket allocations were based on 10% of the away sides capacity.
My calculations make that more like 6,000 for Arsenal and not under 3000.
We have given 10% away at St Marys many times which is 3000 plus.
If we've sold out already shouldn't we get more?? or is it because Arsenal themselves have a high demand from thir own fans??

I agree. In the recent past I got tickets for Hartlepool,Southend, Yeovil etc.but could not get a ticket in a 60,000 stadium. Really pi$$ed off.

no loyalty shown to the season ticket holders who traveled away last season but could not manage a sunday in manchester for what ever reason, all the history thrown away from previous seasons, got every away game I applied for out of the prem now first one I apply for this season sold out - gutted!

I know how you feel, Got mine though, got in the queue at 5am and I was not the first , we were saying that it looked like anyone who turned up after 7.30 would struggle.
The security staff said they had not expected a big turn out and only 3 people behind the ticket office.
Would be interested to know what time they sold out.
Come on Saints sort it out, show a bit of loyalty to those who have travelled away even if it just last season taken into account.

Agree, all of my purchase history, including Div 1 and the Championship gone. Now the plastics are back they get the same opportunities as fans who continued to support the club in Div 1. Disgrace.

You all sound like a bunch of spoiled brats. "Get in early to avoid disappointment" is my advice. We should be allowed further tickets according to the rules so when the next batch comes on sale you might want to queue up earlier. It's like the 3000 that have tickets are all plastics and should hand over their tickets to the ones who went to Doncaster away when we were sh1t. Life doesn't work that way unfortunately.

Well done on getting yours. I really feel for those who have done a lot of travelling these past 7 seasons and are now being treated no better than those who have suddenly remembered who The Saints are.

Did anyone manage to get a ticket online or was it box office only?

On the plus side, I think we have the right to order a further 3,000 or so. So, all is not lost.

I'm glad someone who knows the League rules about ticket allocations has answered my question from earlier.
So we will be getting another 3000 tickets then???I'd better set my alarm on the day they go on sale. You don't know when that will be as well do you? Or should I contact the club and get the answers from them?

The league rules are 10% for normal games and 15% for cup games. We're entitled to a lot more tickets and can request more. They will probably come in little batches and annoy the Arsenal fans as they gradually get sold but there you go.

The 10% allocation is what I thought was the normal percentage but there has not yet been any mention from Saints that they were going to apply for any more. I suppose it is early days and some news of further tickets may come out soon if they are available.
The problem is as you and I have already touched on is the demand from the Arsenal fans.
Thay have thousands of fans on the waiting list for season tickets alone so I'd be surprised if they were to give us anymore.
Saying that I can remember several games on MOTD or Sky in the past when it looked like a large away following at the Emirates far in excess of 3000. So who knows we may get lucky.

I do not condone DD and agree a professional footballer should be using a taxi if out and about socialising. However that something will be resolved - just like with Barnard last season.
Back to tonights game - I would expect nothing less than a resounding win by players hungry for a taste of The Premier League. I would consider it a failure for the squad if it was nothing less than 6-0. So no pressure there then!
As for Mr Lee - I think he will feature more in our first 11 towards the end of games. The only problem I have with him is his runs are too fast! Our players never seem to pass quickly enough - and the linesman flag is up quicker than that because he leaves everyone dead in their tracks.
However I 'd love to see him have a go at United's current back four...even for the last 10-mins! Him and Billy Sharp could just be the difference we need in the last 15-mins!
