Southampton take on Leicester City for the second time in the space of 5 days at St Mary's on Saturday and ticket sales had been sluggish despite the cheap prices, however the late late win On Tuesday evening up at Leicester is set to see a late surge in prices.

When the Tie against Leicester City was announced back in mid January ticket sales were slow, even though the prices had been slashed to £10 for season ticket holders, a run of poor results meant that many were deciding not to go.

However four weeks on and with 4 wins and a draw in the last 5 matches and the play off spots now only 1 point away, it seems that there will be a late rush for tickets.

It is fair to say that no one was thinking this would be the case at around 8.20pm last night at the King Power, with Leicester having taken a 3 goal lead and looking to increase that before the break, many Saints supporters were vowing not to go again, let alone on Saturday.

But what a difference a dramatic comeback in the second half can make in situations like this, many are making silent apologies to Tonda Eckert for their thoughts on him at half time last night and now the mood is starting to change at St Mary's

The win at the King Power Stadium highlighted the spirit that is now in the team and how well they can play when they get it right and now that is set to power a late rush to but tickets.

Those season ticket holders and members who didn't purchase their tickets at £10 for adults and £2.50 for under 18's will wish they had, however the good news is that prices haven't risen that much, it's still only £15 for adults and £5 for the U18's

That is still very cheap to watch a game of football for two teams of this standard.

So far only around 12,500 tickets have been sold in the general seating areas , if you add on the travelling Leicester fans and hospitality then you are probably looking at 15,000 already sold.

Tickets are now on general sale and can be purchased on line, having already beaten Leicester this week, Saints will be keen to complete the double and indeed the treble over the Foxes this season, Tuesday night went some way towards getting full revenge for THAT result at St Mary's a few years back, can Southampton supporters now inflict further misery and indeed can they hunt the Foxes down and rack up a few goals in the process.
