SAINTS have sold out tickets for their first home game of the 2024/25 Premier League season against Nottingham Forest.
Russell Martin's side welcome Forest to St Mary's on Saturday, August 24 after getting their campaign under way at Newcastle.
Southampton have also sold out their away allocation for that opening weekend trip to St James' Park as support from fans continues to grow after promotion.

Their league fixture against Forest will mark the first time the new Northam Wall will be heard in full voice for a competitive fixture.
Martin has previously expressed the important role supporters will play this season as Saints look to avoid an immediate return to the Championship.
Nuno Espirito Santo's Forest finished 17th in the Premier League last season, avoiding relegation by six points.
Southampton suffered a 4-3 defeat at the City Ground when they last faced Forest in May 2023.
