ex-montrosesaintee Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Remember they have a sleeping Giant to contend with in their City as well so better to go on 80,000 also as Aitchy says Perthshire is close on 100,000 OK OK, we've got a shite support, but it's gonna be a hell of a day anyway.

TheYellowBox Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) I don't think the initial allocation is relevant anymore. Was it not for the JS lower, corner and North Lower? As we are onto the JS upper, we effectively have the original allocation plus whatever the upper tier holds, which I think is 9,000 including the upper corner. So in short, no danger we will sell out our now c20k allocation. Although I'd love it if we did!

Steve Zissou Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 They are already selling the upper tier of the Jock Stein stand which is outwith our initial allocation. That isn't to say we have sold out our allocation, i assume it just means our allocation is now 11300 + whatever the capacity is of the upper tier.

I know of a few people who are waiting until nearer the time to buy tickets - there's little chance we'll completely sell out our entire potential allocation, which I'd imagine is well over 20,000 too.

Kyle Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Seems United have nearly sold out their initial 23000 allocation. That's some effort if true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole JS stand is 13000, plus the 6-7000 in the north stand lower and that should be plenty for us. Am guessing utd must now be into their half of the north stand upper. 23000 is a good effort on their first day if that's right enough.

Ginger Bakers rebel army Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Suspect the initial allocation of 11,300 would be about 6 or 7 thousand Concession tickets and the remainder £35 North stand, as bottom tier sold out or as good as additional top tier concession tickets were released, should be several thousand available in the top tier, think we will go through the 15000 sales and would not be surprised at more.

The ghost of Jim Morton Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I think it's great news that United have sold so many tickets already and I hope they shift 30,000 at least. The more the merrier as far as I am concerned and the more money Saints make from the cup. If the crowd is 45,000 it will be brilliant...

Inchcolm Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I read somewhere that the 4 teams share the semi final and final gate monies...that could also be complete bollox though... Rules from SFA site (g) The receipts from the Semi-Final matches in the Competition shall be pooled and shall be deemed to include monies received from all admission charges to the matches, radio and television fees, and any sums in respect of advertising within the stadium specially for the occasion. The Association shall retain 10% of the balance, after payment of the expenses of the two matches and the clubs’ guarantees. The remainder, after payment of the rental for the use of a ground or grounds, the scale of which shall be determined by the Board, shall be divided, equally, among the four clubs. (h) The receipts at the Final Tie shall be calculated in the manner defined in section (g) foresaid mutatis mutandis. The Association shall retain 10% of the balance, after payment of the expenses of the match and the clubs’ guarantees. The remainder, after payment of the rental for the use of the ground, the scale of which shall be determined by the Board, shall be divided, equally, between the competing clubs.

truefaith Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I read somewhere that the 4 teams share the semi final and final gate monies...that could also be complete bollox though...

truefaith Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 If Saints can sell 15,000 tickets, they will get 15,000 tickets, I am absolutely certain. There is no way we will sell 15,000 by Thursday, and if we look to be close to selling out the initial allocation, I'm sure the club will be in contact with the SFA to ensure a continuous supply is available. Considering it is pay day tomorrow/wednesday, I reckon we could get close to selling the initial allocation by the end of Wednesday, which would be a brilliant achievement. What some people might be worried about is no concessions after the JS allocation runs out. It's £35 a ticket after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
