The only people really disadvantaged are those who had cheap seats in the Itchen South, £399 was an absolute bargain and far lower than the rest of the ground.
Once they announced the away changes it was obvious that these tickets were going to go and perhaps the club should have made this a lot clearer and suggested that those in the Itchen South moved to the Northam and £499.
There is also the option of the Northam/ Itchen corner which is not a lot different in terms of positioning than the old £399 tickets.
These are £479 so around a 20% increase.
All in all this is pretty much as expected, what is pretty much also as expected is the p*** poor way that the club have organised it and delivered the message |  |

The thing they really ballsed up on was not releasing the new season ticket prices at the same time they announced the £499 Northam ones. This would have avoided so much unnecessary grief as everyone would have known whether it'd be best to move somewhere else or stay put. |  |

"Prices still remain lower than in the 2016/2017 season, Pricing for the 2016/17 season ranged between £853-£584."
Our season ticket prices are still lower then Bournemouth's. Pricing is largely determined by supply and demand, so the smaller the ground in relation to the size of the fanbase, the higher the ticket prices. Demand at St Mary's was also exceptionally high in 2016/17 due to recent success, which is another factor. We begin next season on a high after the Wembley victory so you'd expect most home games to be sold out.
What the Club don't want right now is overheating i.e. demand massively exceeding supply and causing frustration and disaffection in the fanbase, which with last season's ticket prices they probably would have got, and they are not yet anywhere near ready to expand the stadium so prices will be used to regulate demand.

Bit of a ploy to sell out the Northam so that the move could be justified from a PR perspective.
Think they did drop in a hint at the time about 10%-15% increases elsewhere in the ground to coerce people into moving there.
Bit sneaky though, aye. |  |

logistics made sense. Get people to relocate en masse to the Northam frees up gaps for the poor sods being kicked out to accomodate the unwashed away hordes |  |

Why all the negativity “ploy, coerce, sneaky”?
The club were up front about wanting to fill the Northam and offering reduced prices. They also stated average 10-15% increase elsewhere! |  |

During Cortese's tenure, there was much talk about pr plants doing the rounds on message boards and social media.

I am guessing this will be where the Club make reference to the cost of implementing the improved wi-fi.
Which I believe was at the time championed by them as being an example of enhancing the customer experience (sigh….) and responding to feedback from fans (double sigh…..) |
Bügger the wi-fi then, would prefer to get the plebs off their phones completely so they can fully immerse themselves in the ‘Saints’ football experience.
Mind you, if the price increase was to set about the introduction of dancing girls that might be different….. |  |

Well done Southampton Football Club, well done. |

seem to remember when all the tv money came there was a fear that it would effect crowds,however we were assured that the tv money would enable clubs to make live football very affordable then the clubs realised they could have there cake and eat it and the rest is as they say history. |  | | |
