European Tour

In shock news, (for those of you who have to chase dodgy streams overseas), the game on Thursday IS on BeIN Sports HD 1 at 23:00 local time.

Big result that as they ONLY show one match each Game Day from the EU KO time and UK KO time so we are obviously a “Big Thing” in Europe now…

(That last bit almost sounded believable didn’t it?)

I have the flights and pre booked my absolute shit hole hostel, will try and book something better I think, who is going to Milan?

WOW glad I chose the Inter game rather than Prague. I would have struggled with just the 7 away games! Oh well, just the once in Europe, then I will crawl back under my rock.

PRIORITY SALE MONDAY 3rd OCTOBER

Tickets for Southampton’s UEFA Europa League trip to Sparta Praha will go on priority sale from Monday 3rd October.

We have managed to secure an increased allocation of 1,703 tickets for the match, which will be the penultimate game in the club’s group stage campaign, taking place on Thursday 24th November, with a 6pm GMT kick-off.

After initially being informed we would receive 1,029 tickets, extensive negotiations with the Czech side have resulted in a further 674 being made available.

As always, the club will continue to try to secure the largest possible allocations for our supporters.

Tickets, which will be priced at £17 each, with no concessions, will go on sale in the following order:

  1. Monday 3rd October – 2016/17 Season Ticket holders who attended the FC Midtjylland vs Southampton fixture on 27th August 2015 OR attended the Hapoel Be’er Sheva vs Southampton fixture on 29th September 2016.

Supporters in this group are guaranteed a ticket if they apply on this day. Please note, supporters who failed to collect their match ticket for the games in Denmark or Israel will have the credit for that fixture removed from their account.

  1. Tuesday 4th October – 2016/17 Season Ticket holders who have attended at least 10 domestic away games from the 2015/16 or 2016/17 seasons.
  2. Wednesday 5th October – 2016/17 Season Ticket holders who have attended at least 8 domestic away games from the 2015/16 or 2016/17 seasons.
  3. Thursday 6th October – 2016/17 Season Ticket holders who have attended at least 7 domestic away games from the 15/16 or 16/17 seasons.

Please note, the Leicester City vs Southampton fixture on 2nd October 2016 WILL NOT count towards the eligibility criteria for this fixture.

Tickets will not be issued at the point of purchase and will instead need to be collected in Prague on the day of the game by the qualifying Season Ticket holder, on production of photographic ID. Full details on locations will be confirmed nearer the fixture. Failure to collect your ticket will result in the credit from the game being removed from your account.

All sale dates are subject to remaining availability. Tickets will go off sale at 8.30am each day, and then sales will resume with the new criteria at 9am.

In the event that tickets remain after Thursday 6th October, a further announcement regarding sales will be made.

down to ST plus 4 aways at the mo for the Inter game - will it get lower???

I mentioned before the day of the draw I was go excited. Even more excited after the draw, to know that I would be seeing Saints in Europe for the first time ever. This makes up for all the relegation battles, money I have spent watching Saints, travelling to away games and the amount of heartache. It is like it has been very well earned. I would hate to think how much I have spent through the late 80’s to mid 2000’s. It was fun in hindsight, but some of the pain and the waiting was a killer.

I played the game and got a season ticket again for the first time in 11 years this season for the main aim, to get a European ticket. I bought tickets for Man U and Arsenal away, just for this chance. Jeez I could cry. I will not believe it until the teams are coming out onto that pitch on the evening of 20th. After this I can crawl back under my rock and be away game sfcsim! I will be proud as punch!

Love the saints!

Hmmmm.

So the wife gets a free ticket to a conference in Italy leaving me home alone for a 5 day bank holiday with “The Lodger” (full story coming soon, it involves Golf)

I’ve got free beer for the game in Corporate & free accommodation but will anyone give me a flight ticket?

Nope £560 at the moment but can get for £380 IF I take 31 hours to get there.

Damned old age, back in the day wouldda been a piece of cake to blag a flight

31 hours man :grimacing: spend the 180 quids and get it done. Think of it as paying tax…

Just order the ticket and wait for someone else to pay.

ST + 3 aways today - there is also a rumour on the dark side that more may become available from Inter direct

I’m not sweating at all, will be able to pick up a ticket out there no worries, they either want the money or they don’t.

Rumour from more official sources also on Twitter that the club are trying for more for both Inter & Prague

Inter should give us more, I doubt there is any interest from their fans for this game.

I repeat what I said earlier, it’s not Inter that’s the problem, it’s the local police that are putting a blocker on it.
