Grimsby Tickets On Sale But There Are Website Issues

The tickets for Saints 5th round game against Grimsby Town are now on sale to season ticket holders, however there seems to be an issue on the club website that is not allowing some supporters to buy their seat.

Saints have announced the details for the FA Cup tie against Grimsby Town to be played on Wednesday 1st March 2023 with an early kick off time of 7.15pm.

With a good chance of reaching the quarter finals of the competition there is going to be a reasonable demand for this game, despite the poor form in the Premier League and with Grimsby Town taking the entire Northam End so potentially bringing around 6,000 supporters, the largest away allocation ever seen at St Mary's it will be approaching a sell out.

There are those that will question the wisdom of giving the Mariners the whole Northam End, usually the FA cup allocation is around 4,500 with a couple of blocks going to Saints fans, but I think fair play to the club, the game is unlikely to sell out given the current apathy in the fan base and poor crowds in previous cup ties played this season, so why not let Grimsby fans enjoy what is a rare big game for them, I suspect I will be in a minority here.

The good news is the for season ticket holders the price is only £15 for adults with Season Ticket Holders’s aged under 18 paying just £5. You have until 2pm on Friday 10th February to secure your seat, ahead of tickets going on sale to Members on Friday afternoon. Season Ticket holders can buy additional tickets from 9.30am on Saturday and general sale is from 9.30am Monday.

The bad news is that the ticket system on the club's website seems to be going skewiff once again and I have had reports of season ticket holders trying to buy their ticket online but finding themself looked out of buying their own seat.

The seat itself is locked out of being able to be purchased, although you can buy alternative seats.

Having looked as the problem, it would seem that the system has done what it is supposed to do in reverse, instead of making it only season ticket holders seats for sale it has allowed somehow made those the only ones that can't be bought.

Hopefully the club will fix this glitch pretty quickly and given the timescale between announcing they were on sale and putting them on sale was only a matter of hours , not a lot of people will have noticed yet, it is unclear if it is all season ticket holder affected or just certain areas.

The ticket sales window is as follows

Thursday 9th February 9:30am - Season Ticket Holders
Friday 10th February 2:30pm - Premium and Lite Members - Become a Member
Saturday 11th February 9:30am - Season Ticket Holder additional
