Surely if the promotion is now closed that would suggest that all the free tickets have been allocated.

I didn't see the offer and I'm assuming from posts on here that the club didn't advise a date when people would be notified. If they didn't it may be an idea in future to do this and prevent any confusion? There appears to be a lack of thought, planning and ability to foresee any problems that may arise. What should be a positive campaign for the club ends up having a negative effect on some supporters.

The offer is on the first page of this thread posted by Pev.

It quotes:

'Now the best bit is we have as many FREE tickets to give away to as many people as we can!!! So that's you, your family, your friends and their friends and family or anyone who may like to come along.'

Hmmmm? 'to as many people as we can'?????????????? Suggests not everybody then??????????????

If it's anything like the promotion the club set up at work then they started to email the tickets today.

Checked and nothing there good thought though !!

Thats how I read it, it also said once you apply you should hear "shortly," our application was over a week ago.
It also mentioned our record crowd as 6k and "we have 12 thousand seats to fill."
It will be interesting to hear what the three differing attendances appear as on friday.

Sorry what I meant to say was .. I wasn't aware of a notification date being advised during the application process. And if there wasn't it would be good practice to have one to avoid the confusion of people not knowing if they are getting a free ticket.

Not being funny, but aren't these offers supposed to be for new supporters, and not freeloaders/away fans?

Exactly, I'm assuming the offer is only available to people within the area that are not currently on the clubs database.

Correct. Anyone already on the clubs database is unlikely to receive free tickets. As for anyone from a St Helens postcode I would suggest you need to arrive with a crisp £20 note on Friday.

Could the freeloader not be a supporter and the new supporter be a freeloader ? just a thought.

A supporter is not fully 'supporting' the club if the are 'freeloading'

Whilst I don't disagree with the sentiment I wonder how many of the 12K will come back or how many are stood outside selling their ticket at a reduced rate.

My lad and his missus told me about the offer and they both got tickets before i had even posted,but I thought the sponsor of the offer was The Oasis Academy MediaCity, so they are responsible for the number of tickets that were available and the advert was their wording. So I don't know if the club are to blame for this fiasco in some peoples eyes or the sponsor in not setting out the full terms and conditions of the offer.

The link was originally on the clubs official website wasn't it Bigpev? If it was on the clubs website then the club have a responsibility to ensure it is factual.

club says emails are going out today/ tonight for the remainder guyss

I don't know my lad sent it me and he got it from the Oasis Academy site as far as I am aware he doesn't know about the SCR website.

Confirmed by the club, again on Facebook. People who are already on the club's database and Saints fans (presumably going off postcodes) have been filtered out of the offer. I guess it stops people from abusing the system.

A friend signed up for the offer whos never been a game. He received an email 3 weeks ago for a freebie for the Catalans game for whatever reason, which he didnt use because of work commitments. He aint received a ticket for tomorrow though. We are meeting for drinks tomorrow afternoon so I will have to convince him to part with £20.

has anybody had an e-mither for this yet? lots of my mates signed up for it but as other people have said they also got a cats ticket but nothing for this.

No! Ive heard from three people who signed up for the offer. They received an email giving them freebies for the Catalans game but nothing for tonight.

If they are that interested in going tonight they will pay however it has left them rather baffled and not the best first impression of the club for them

My Nephew got a reply but as it said he has to go and collect his ticket from the club chop and take ID he said stuff that.
The fact it is pi$$ing it down has not exctly made it a enticing proposition either.

My nephew did it all he had to do is go to community centre behind the South Stand, said it took 30 seconds max? Don't see what the problem is, people getting in for free at still moaning. If you get to the marquee, your nephew could nip down get his ticket by time you've been served? Issue over nothing.

Erm, if they had freebies for the Catalans game then they won't get one for this as they are already on the club's database. The idea is to get people to try it for the first time and then keep coming back if they like it. If the tight f**kers don't want to pay then it's not exactly working in the way it should for the growth of the club.

And it can't be a first impression of the club if they've already taken advantage of the offer, can it?

You are missing my point. This offer was publicised for free tickets for tonight which they clicked the link and signed up for. They then received an email giving them free tickets for the Catalans game a day before the match. They didn't use them for a variety of reasons. My point is why offer tickets for tonight and then send them tickets for another game.

my mates who signed up(if thats the right phrase) did so for tonights game. they got e mails for cats game and not for tonight,so when they applied for saints game they were not on the database.i know you should not complain about something for free and its good the club are trying to get people in. would have been good to say either cats or saints game on the offer.
