Plenty Of Tickets Left For Palace Cup Tie

Saints still have plenty of tickets left for Saturday's 3rd round FA Cup tie with Crystal Palace at St Mary's and at the bargain price of only £12.

What a difference a year makes, just under a year ago when we met Palace in the same competition, it was a sell out at St Mary's with expectations high of a good cup run, however now the perception amongst some fans is different after our recent poor run.

Of course the fact that Eastleigh are also playing in the FA Cup at home to Bolton Wanderers is not helping, but given the crowd for that game will probably be around 3,000 maybe 3,500, so the reality is that their gate will be more affected by the two games clashing.

Although it will be a decent gate at St Mary's probably around 25,000, judging by the online ticketing system, it will still be someway short of last seasons FA Cup fixture unless there is a late run on tickets, which given the cheap price of only £12 for adults could well happen.

So there is still time to buy for Saturday's game and as always the advice is to do it in advance as this is one of those games that could see a big walk up on the day.

Tickets are priced as follows:
£12 for adults
£7 for concessions*
£5 for under-17s
