Return to St Mary's: Leeds United ticket information
Southampton Football Club is delighted to confirm that fans will return to St Mary’s for the Premier League fixture against Leeds United on Tuesday 18th May, kick-off at 6pm, subject to government confirmation – find out who is eligible to buy tickets and the purchasing process below.
Due to government restrictions, around 8,000 tickets will be available for the match to ensure the safety and wellbeing of supporters and staff at St Mary's - we have been working on a number of measures and changes designed to keep everyone safe.
The attendance of supporters at this match is subject to the government confirming that we move into Step 3 of the roadmap out of lockdown. The club will notify fans if government guidance around fans returning to St Mary’s changes.
Priority for purchasing tickets will be given to supporters that bought a 2020/21 Season Ticket, regardless of whether they have claimed a refund or kept a credit on their ticketing account.
To ensure that all Season Ticket holders have a fair opportunity to attend a match this season, supporters that had been due to attend the West Ham United fixture in December will be given priority access to buy tickets, with Season Ticket holders that have not yet attended a fixture this season then given priority over fans that have already attended a game.
Eligible Season Ticket holders are able to purchase tickets regardless of whether they had previously informed the club that they were unable to attend fixtures during December as we understand that supporters’ circumstances may now have changed.
Tickets will be sold to groups in the following order to ensure that all 2020/21 Season Ticket holders are given a fair opportunity to attend a match at St Mary’s this season:
