Matchday Information: Saints vs Spurs

We advise you to arrive early so there’s enough time to collect tickets, get through security checks, turnstiles and make your way to your seats ahead of kick off.

Limited tickets are available for the game and can be purchased online.

Supporters can also visit the ticket office at St Mary’s, open from 9.30am. Ticket office phone lines are also open from 9.30am-5pm on matchday (02381 780 780).

You can use e-tickets to access the stadium, which can either be printed or scanned via your mobile phone. We’d advise you to do this where possible to avoid queues at the ticket office. For anyone using a mobile phone, please download your tickets, ensure brightness is full and pinch your barcode to extend across the width of the screen – then scan at the turnstile to enter.

For pre-arranged collections, please visit ticket office 2 and if your tickets haven’t arrived and you haven’t contacted us, please visit ticket office 1.

Remember that all bags will be searched on entry to St Mary’s, so only bring an A4-sized bag if you need to. If you’re cycling to the game, please don’t leave bags with bikes, to avoid security risks or thefts.

TRAVEL

RAIL STRIKES

With significant industrial action taking place on Saturday, South Western Railway are running a severely reduced service.

There will be no trains back to London after the match, and final trains to Basingstoke depart at 17.30 and 18.30. These are likely to be very busy.

Supporters are advised to check train journeys before setting off.

Our Park & Ride service is available to avoid rail disruption. Find out more and secure your place here.

ROAD CLOSURES

We’ve been notified that emergency road closures have been put in place on Winchester Road and Bassett Avenue and these will remain in place throughout the weekend. As this is a popular route into the city from the M3, this could cause significant road disruption and journeys to St Mary’s may therefore take longer than usual. Please keep this in mind when planning your trip to the stadium, using alternative routes if possible.

Our Park & Ride service is available to avoid additional congestion as a result of these roadworks. Find out more and secure your place here.
