Jordan Sibley just tweeted: @jordansibley: For everyone asking about Season Ticket news, you don't have too much longer to wait. Keep your eyes on http://t.co/NAA95ooc today #saintsfc Exciting stuff!
Exciting until the price has gone up about 50% and everyone starts complaining that they're too expensive.
I'm expecting to pay around £550 tbh, probably a bit more, to renew my seat in the Chapel. There was no increase in renewals from L1 to the Championship which was a nice gesture, but not one I expect to be repeated. Friends of mine pay between £850 to £1000 for STs at Whiite Hart Lane and The Emirates, I'm sure Saints will compare very favourably with those prices.
Expect a price hike, but remember we are PREMIER LEAGUE. Cortese's ambition doesn't come cheap. Doesn't affect me, but hope for a good saving for ST holders from last season if bought early.
I'd like a bit of reward for loyalty but a hike in prices is inevitable, so I won't complain (too much).
It doesn't matter if you've saved the dosh or not, a huge increase might just be taking the pi$$. I'd imagine most of the current season ticket holders have been so for a few years - i.e. with the club during bad times. I had to pay an increase of £80 last year (which was about a 20% increase), if they're going to do the same again this year, whether I can afford it or not, some increases are just too much. That said, I'll see what they propose before before making a decision but I have a feeling they'll go up over £600. Which, considering I was paying almost half that 3 seasons ago is a bit of a kick in the nuts. If I had any.....

Pretty good on first glance thought last year were abit steep but then they havent gone up as much as expected this year so cant complain. Of course it doesnt affect me because I made the ridicolous decision that getting a degree is more important than watching saints! Wonder when the match ticket details come out. Also good to see we advertise ours with our own players not with prem stars like qpr last year!
Anyone who moans should remember that at least they can get to all the matches...I manage to get to about 6-8 a season. Just had a happy thought...Sunday matches would be good!
This will now cost £1150 for wifey and me. I'm not complaining but I will be expecting to qualify for the Champions League at least.
