Black Friday seemingly becomes a day that more and more companies want to jump on to offer ludicrous deals to customers, and Southampton have joined in on the action.
Tickets to #SaintsFC games for incredible price
— Southampton FC (@SouthamptonFC) November 28, 2019
The club announced on their official website that they will be selling tickets for both games against Watford and Norwich City for just £20, equating to £10 to watch a Premier League match in 2019 in an era of the division where prices for tickets has never been higher.
Although the deal looks impressive from a casual supporter, season ticket holders on social media were fuming with the club’s offer to hand out some of the cheapest tickets in the country whilst some fans pay up to £795 for their annual admission into St. Mary’s as reported by The Southern Daily Echo.
Here’s what Southampton fans had to say about the Black Friday deal on Twitter, with plenty of season ticket holders fuming about the offer…

All I can say as a season ticket holder thanks. Just had a look and so many seats left for the 2 games . See why they are trying to give them away fans keeping away? Why would that be? Maybe ask Mr Geo.

Southampton will be hoping the atmosphere is on point for their next two Premier League matches at St. Mary’s.
