Dont these clubs learn? £15 to pay on the night we should only have to pay that and no more for a league game. Fair play for taking our season ticket holders into consideration but surely it should be £5 to season ticket holders and £7.50 0n the night if that. Its on sky and in midweek so I cant see why these prices are so high.

    Even if it was free, I dont reckon I could be bothered to go. Would rather save browny points and enthusiasm for league and FA cup away games.

    I'd only pay that if there was a "Take a Punch at Pardew" voucher included.

    Advance seats for the game on Wednesday, November 11th (7.45pm), which is being broadcast live on Sky Sports, are available to season-ticket holders for £7.50 adults and £3 over 60s and U22s.

    Non-season ticket holders can purchase seats in advance for £10 adults and £5 over 60s and U22s - with all U17s able to gain admission to St Mary's free of charge.

    Southampton have already confirmed that fans will be able to pay on the night, but prices will rise to £15 adults, £5 over 60s and U22, and £2 U17s


    To be fair i think the prices are very reasonable. And to let U17s in for free is only to be applauded.

    In advance tickets very good and free to kids so can't really complain about that.

    and Under 22's for just £3. Ok you amy well think that £15 on the night is steep but that is basically covering the cost of having to pay a few more staff to actually sell the tickets. Buy in advance and you are laughing.

    Prices look decent if you're a season ticket holder buying in advance. No idea why Southampton and Reading give discount to season ticket holders of other clubs. Does matter to me though as I won't be going due to the below reason.

    I supposed as well they want a good idea of how many are going to turn up on the night and getting people to pay up front... so they can keep half the ground closed!

    Just looked at that site and what a deal, how can they not lose money with tickets that cheap?!
    However unless i'm mistaken it says the last train back is 9.55. Assuming the game ends at 9.35ish you'll just about be ok but if it goes to penalties you'll either miss them or miss your train.

    I've used it before so i know it's genuine as much as it look ridiculous.

    Just South West trains.

    The station is a fair trek, it's a 20 mins walk so you will be cutting it very very fine... took an hour for the league game last season as well

    I have a ticket for my brown leather sofa, free of charge, I may even indulge in a bag of cheesy Dorito's.

    I am yet to ring the trainline to see the cost of a return from my kitchen to the living room.

    Did you not get caught by the "If you're watching that, then I'll watch strictly come dancing/eastenders/gok wan(ker) for the rest of the week" charge, levied by the missus?
