Wembley Tickets On General Sale From Monday Lunchtime
Southampton FC have been busy since Saturday morning when the first tickets for the game against Leeds United next Sunday went on sale, since then they have been going through the qualification process.
With 35,667 tickets allocated for the trip to Wembley and only a little over a week to sell them and more to the point get them out to the supporters, it was not surprising that Saints acted quickly once the final whistle on Friday evening had been blown.
Tickets went on sale at 11am on Saturday morning, barely 12 hours since the game had ended and the last supporter had left the stadium.
For obvious reasons there was a qualifying process, starting with season ticket holders who have been to away games and then ending with the last of those who are paid members or Junior Saints members.
It should be noted here that those in the earlier categories can still buy their ticket after their designated slot, if for some reasons they had been unable to do so.
That ends at Monday lunchtime and at 12.30pm tickets go on General sale.
But that does not mean anyone, these days you have to be on the supporter base, ie register to buy a ticket, initially they are to those supporters who have bought a ticket for at least 1 game this season either home or away.
This slot ends at 2pm and then it is open to anyone who has bought a ticket since season 2021/22, ie the last three seasons.
With around 20,000 season ticket holders and at least 8,000 non season ticket holders per game on a revolving basis, this could well see a sell out by this afternoon and it will give some of the younger generation a chance, the game against Walsall saw many season ticket holders give the game a miss, but there were still 22,000 in the ground and many of those were young Saints fans who didn't often get the chance to go, this could enable them to now attend the game.

Blackburn AwaydazeThis season’s trip to Blackburn Rovers is tomorrow with kick-off at 1.30, provided the pitch has dried out enough after last week’s postponement. Once again it looks like we’ll be taking the biggest away following in the Championship this season.
Farke sees room for improvement despite victoryLeeds duly went back to the top of the table with a fairly routine victory over Luton Town, but Daniel Farke thought the win should have been even more emphatic when he spoke to the BBC after the game.
Leeds fighting spirit wins through as we beat Swansea to go topLeeds were twice behind in this incredible game at Swansea City, and then seemed to have victory snatched away right at the death. But each time we fought back and our sheer determination finally secured the victory that we needed to finish the weekend on top of the Championship.
Swansea AwaydazeOur visit to Swansea City is on Sunday with a 3pm kick-off, and once again we’re being televised live on Sky Sports, which will be handy for those of us who can’t get to South Wales on a Sunday.
Farke complains bitterly about Firpo suspensionWe had a surprise yesterday morning, as we found out that that Junior Firpo had been given a three match suspension as a result of an incident in the match at Millwall. Our manager has complained about the short notice when he was preparing his team to face QPR, and about the FA’s process itself.
Leeds labour to victory over stubborn QPRWe made hard work of winning this game, but we finally put the match beyond Queens Park Rangers with a second goal deep into injury time, sending the visitors to the bottom of the table.
Farke happy with the performance despite defeatDaniel Farke has claimed that his team were excellent last night, but many others disagree, after we failed to get past an organised defence yet again, and Millwall were able to hang on to all three points.
Millwall AwaydazeOn Wednesday night we can once again look forward to another fun-packed visit to Millwall on Sunday with kick off at 7.45. You’ll find the New Den in a really pleasant part of South-East London, but if you’re not heading this way, there is always the option of watching the game live on Sky Sports plus.
Leeds coast to comprehensive win over PlymouthThe goalscoring was confined to an eight minute period towards the end of the first half, but Leeds were so dominant throughout the entire 90 minutes that Plymouth Argyle didn’t manage a single shot on goal.
