To understand the impact on resale on Southampton tickets, it’s important to assess primary market prices, which we’ll do now.

Buying Southampton match tickets directly from the club, the prices are as follows:

• Adults: £25 - £70
• 18-25s and over 65s: £25 - £65
• Juniors (u18s): £15 - £65

According to the St Mary’s Stadium seating plan, the cheapest Southampton football tickets are in the stadium corners, while the most expensive are on the halfway line in the Itchen Stand and Kingsland Stand.

For primary market tickets the Match Category (A, B or C) will affect the price, as we’ll deal with this topic in more depth further down this page.

When it comes to the ease of buying Southampton tickets, Southampton Members have the best chances as we’ll show next.

It’s a little easier to purchase tickets to Southampton FC matches than for many other Premier League clubs. In order to fill St Mary’s Stadium, some games reach general sale, which means that you can buy tickets even if you haven’t been to St Mary’s Stadium before.

However, for the hottest matches you need to be a member with proof of a purchase history at the club to qualify for the ability to buy tickets. So for these games it’s a lot tougher to purchase SFC tickets.

Now we’ve shown you how to buy Southampton tickets, in the next section we’ll delve into topics like sales schedules, Match Categories and a few additional details on Premier League tickets for Southampton.

Day 1-10 - Southampton Members get priority access to tickets on a first come, first served basis

Day 11-20 - Southampton Season Ticket holders have the chance to purchase two additional tickets

Day 20 Onwards - The match will go on general sale until tickets sell out

Match tickets for Southampton FC are tiered according to the opponent, making an impact on things like price, how easy it is to get tickets and buyer benefits. Here’s the breakdown:

Category A Matches

These games are against the top teams in the league, like Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United. You won’t be able to purchase Category A tickets as a member unless you’ve bought tickets before.

Category B Matches

Established Premier League opponents like West Ham and Spurs are normally classed as Category B. There are no restrictions for Southampton Members to purchase these tickets.

Category C Matches

These are fixtures against Premier League strugglers and newly promoted teams like Ipswich Town and Nottingham Forest. To help these matches sell out Saints Members are eligible for a £5 discount on these tickets.

Of all the Saints tickets available, the hardest to purchase through official channels are tickets for games on the road. Southampton away tickets are hard to get hold of because there’s an enormous demand and high scarcity.

Premier League away allocations are never much more than 3,000, and the primary market tickets are reasonably priced at between £20 and £30. So you can see why there’s such a scramble to get them.

Southampton Away Tickets Sale Schedule

In practice, Southampton Season Ticket holders have the best chance of buying, and here’s how Southampton’s box office puts the away allocation on sale:

Day 1, 9:30 AM: Season Ticket holders who attended 5+ away matches in the previous season can purchase a ticket

Day 1, 11:30 AM: Season Ticket holders who attended 4+ away matches in the previous season get their chance

Day 2, 9:30 AM: Season Ticket holders who attended 3+ away matches during the previous season can buy their seat

So you get the picture. This process continues with these criteria until the allocation is sold-out.

If not, the remaining allocation is first made available to Saints Members with a purchase history. Finally Southampton’s allocation for PL away matches goes on general sale to the wider public a week after the sales window first opened.

Back at home, matchday hospitality tickets are a more opulent alternative to the options we’ve explored above. So we’ll get to grips with these luxury options next.
