Whilst from the club’s financial point of view the match appears to be a “sell out” with all tickets accounted for, it’s difficult to see it being a “ full house” when there are nearly 500 seats still available on the ticket exchange. A win tomorrow may encourage a big walk up on the day I suppose ? |  | | |  |

As much as boxing day games are hugely popular, there are also a sizeable number of season tickets holders who are away for Christmas and / or visiting families. I think they will shift 500 if that's how many season tickets holders can't make it. The tickets have been selling like crazy over the last few days. I have seen lots of people asking for tickets on social media. [Post edited 22 Dec 2023 14:27]

Really suprised how quickly the Plymouth tickets went, got my boxing day ones early as I knew it would be a sell out but left it too late to get 3 together for Plymouth |  |

There are still about 500 ticket exchange tickets available. It doesn't seem to be widely advertised. You would think the clin would be advertising it rather than saying it's sold out. | |

Club don’t make much money from ticket exchange so probably not too worried about reselling them, as already been paid for these tickets |  | | |

Yeh, I'm sure you're spot on there. A few distant family members who I only see at Christmas, said they wanted to go to the game but it was sold out. They were very happy when I said there's 500 tickets left! They are now going to the game. It just made me wonder how many others probably think it's sold out but otherwise would have gone. Doesn't make the club very much, but these family members might love it so much they end up wanting to go to more and you would think the club would want as much support as possible, but you're right it comes down to money I'm sure. | |

I just can’t understand what the club are doing.
If you go to the S F C official website under “tickets” it states the both Swansea and Plymouth are unavailable.
If you go to the S F C official website under “ticket exchange” it states that seats are still available.
So, if you are a casual visitor to St Mary’s and have never heard of the ticket exchange you are precluded from attending.
As Southamptonfan states the Club won’t make a fortune from reselling the seats, but what other business would give up the chance of selling the same seat twice ? Let alone the extra revenue they may obtain from sales of food and in the club shop, generated by the additional 500 or so attendees. | | | |

It is strange to say the least. We arn't talking about a few seats here, we are talking over 500 seats. The club might not make much from the ticket exchange, but surely they would still rather take the extra income, however small, plus the extra support and good image of not having any empty seats. And as you say, that's more potential revenue in the shop, food sales etc and possibly future fans. They are almost hiding the fact that there are seats available but why?
As you state, fans are going to the website, to buy tickets for the game, it says unavailable and sold out, so those fans think there arn't any tickets, yet there are 500 available. Very bizarre. [Post edited 24 Dec 2023 23:23]

Whilst I do agree that the club's advertising and pr on the website is awful and at best is not very clear, they have put out a news story to say that you can buy tickets via the ticket exchange |  |

It doesn’t seem very easy to me to find the Ticket Exchange.
When I looked on the main ticket home page yesterday, it just said that Swansea was sold out, and there was no quick link to the Ticket Exchange.
Maybe I’m just blind though….. |  |

If you click on tickets and follow the links it takes you through to the game link and you can press to buy tickets, but it is a bit of a rigmarole | |

I only found out where to buy extra tickets by reading your article Nick and following the link .
As you and others have stated it’s not clear and I bet a load of fans are thinking there are no tickets available.
Have a great Christmas . | | | |
