There seems to be some confusion amongst Saints supporters as to how the tickets for Arsenal on September 15th are going to be allocated, here is the sp.
Some Saints supporters seem to be a tad confused and in some respects concerned about the Arsenal selling details, after a quick visit to the box office we at TUI have the definitive details.
The confusion arises with the official site stating that the first tranche of tickets go on sale to those that have attended/purchased tickets for the opening three league fixtures, this lead some to believe that for those tickets on sale from this morning, season ticket holders are excluded and its only those who have purchased individual match tickets for those opening trio of fixtures.
This is not the case, season ticket holders are automatically accredited with points for the opening two home games, so from today Arsenal tickets are on sale to either season ticket holders who bought a Man City ticket, or membership holders (Ie customer numbers) who have bought both Wigan & Man United plus Man City.
Tickets remain on sale to personal callers as well as on line until midday on Saturday, after that they can also be bought on line only till Monday 27th August.
From Tuesday 28th August until 5pm Thursday 30th, its the turn of season ticket holders only who didnt purchase Man City.
From Friday 31st August members who have bought two of the three opening fixtures in any combination have their chance both at the ticket office and on line till 5pm on Sunday 2nd September, after that any tickets left will be on a general sale.
It should be noted that the only category guaranteed a ticket will be those who are in the first tranche ie tickets for all three games (45 points) with 2,800 tickets available for the Emirates and only around 2,000 sold for Man City, everyone who went to City and has tickets for the first two home games will be fine for an Arsenal ticket, if everyone takes up their entitlement somewhere between 400- 800 tickets could be available to season ticket holders on Tuesday.
