Thanks in advance.

I'll ask my friend if he will let me pass on his ST details. As well as the Client Reference Number, what else will you need?

Thanks Legion. Name, ref and first line of his address (in case they ask), will be fine, please.
In case you're wondering, I'm a trustworthy type!. I've got tickets/refs for several people on here over the last few years,
Thanks again.

Tickets for our away day at Southampton go on sale on Monday.

The Barclays Premier League clash with the Saints takes place on Saturday May 16, with a 12.45pm kick-off at St Mary's.

We have an allocation of 3,187 for the game.

All tickets are subsidised by £10 as part of our away match initiatives for this season.

They are £32 for adults, £27 for O65s, £27 for U22, £15 for U17 and £6 for U11.

They are available from Monday April 20 to 2014-15 season card holders who attended 9+ Barclays Premier League away fixtures this term.

They are on sale from Wednesday April 22 to 2014-15 season card holders who attended 5+ Barclays Premier League away fixtures this term.

From Thursday April 23 they are available to 2014-15 season card holders who attended 1+ Barclays Premier League away fixtures this term.

On Monday April 27 they are on sale to 2014-15 season card holders while from Wednesday April 29 they are on sale to Villa Cash members.

From Thursday April 30 they are on sale to supporters who attended 3+ Barclays Premier League away fixtures this term.

On Tuesday May 5 they are on general sale.

It's a good idea to supply one client reference per seat to build up booking history.

Coach travel for this fixture departs at 7.30am.

I'd like to join the queue for a reference on behalf of a Villa supporting friend who is foolish and never bothers to maintain a booking system. Much gratitude will be earned if anybody is able to help.

Could I also request a few ST refs please? I may be a newbie, but have been registered since 2007 and long time reader.

I have been away to Leicester and Sunderland this year so fall short of the 3+ away tickets.

Don't say that! I was planning on going to this one but have to wait for GS which I think is dumb.  I've been to three matches this season, two away, that should entitle me to some pority.

Yeah I do keep checking it.  I'm thinking that if their not all sold by now then there should still be some left come Tuesday.

Any travel advise for this one...what are the options for car, coach and train?

On the guide it mentions there is a park and ride service for £10 not far from the ground rather than driving into Southampton city centre...has anyone used this previously?

edit:
Just found this on Southampton website:

Take your sunglasses , shorts and Hawaiian shirt, if the Suns out the away end is drenched in it. Bloody marvellous

Well I don't want to look like that prat Charlie Sheen so might just with a regular shirt lol.  But yeah fingers crossed the weather should nice that day.  Plus its two days after I hand in my disseration so singing Villa on to an impressive away win would be a great way to celebrate!

Won't be much on it? That's hopeful!

Away allocation now sold out.

Saints are starting to look like a team who have given up on 4th and just happy to finish around 7th or 6th.  If we win at the weekend then I think that is us safe. If not then this could be a bit of nervious afternoon I grant you that.  It will be a good game either way I think they play good football, and we have been much better to watch the last month or so.

Phoned the ticket office today and was offered free coach travel to Southampton. Apparently the club are providing 10 coaches free of charge so may be worth a call if you're looking to make travel arrangements.

Plenty of city centre parking within walking distance

I should be able to leave my car in the hotel car park. Otherwise, I'd probably have used the Eastgate Street multi-storey

Travelling down on the official coach for the first time in years. Leaves VP at 7:30am and I'm assuming it will take about 3hrs to get there. Do the police generally shepherd away coaches straight into the ground or will we be able to find a decent pub and food outside the ground?

Same here...I'm planning on making a break for the city centre for a full english and a couple of pints.

If anyone needs to shift a couple of tickets can they let me know? My Dad lives in Southampton and we always do this game together but I missed out this time because I was on holiday when they went on sale & it being the last away game made it a tougher gig than usual anyway.

I am travelling down to Southampton anyway so that we can watch it together on the telly, but if any last minute tickets came up we'd be delighted! (Although getting them might be an issue - I am intending to travel Friday night)

Which pubs are people thinking of heading to before and after the game?  In previous years it's been Yates' in the city centre.  But with an early kick off time wasn't sure if that's still the case?
