Southampton Sell Out St Mary's For The West Brom 2nd Leg Play Off Semi Final

After selling out the 2,000 tickets for the away game at The Hawthorns in a matter of hours, Saints fans have also turned out in numbers for the home leg of the Play Off semi finals with only a few tickets available in hospitality left.

Southampton FC have announced that all tickets in the general seating areas of St Mary's Stadium have already sold out for the visit of West Bromwich Albion , despite the fact that the first leg is still 3 days away up and it is over a week before the fixture is due to be played.

Hospitality packages though are still available, but I would be surprised if there is a mad rush to snap up tickets in these areas.

The cheapest ticket is for The Saints Bar and that is £210 , that is extortionate given that for normal League matches prices start at only £90, for a fairly limited food & drink package this is day light robbery, but cheap at less than half the price of the top package of £410.

Who is going to pay £410 to watch a Saints game ?

The club is clearly trying to milk it's own supporters for the most important game of the season and quite frankly I find that disgusting, that for the biggest game of the season so far, the club is putting making a big killing from the fan base, ahead of making sure that as many Saints supporters as possible are in the ground to back the team.
