LondonSuperJ Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Given we normally can't fill a 10,000 seater I'm assuming it shouldn't be too much of an issue to get tickets for the final. However, I would rather be over prepared than blasé about it. So... Is anyone expecting issues with this? How much do we expect them to cost? How many can any one fan purchase? What time is kick off (obvious maybe, but with TV nowadays I'm assuming nothing!)? Will we only be able to buy them from McD Park? In short what details do we know about getting our hands on tickets for the final? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint-johns-toun Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 at the moment we know nowt, im keeping a close eye on the saints official facebook page tho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CunninghamVideo Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I think we'll take at least 10,000 to the game, but yeah since we're in a 60k stadium you shouldn't really have a problem getting a ticket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydavidson Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 As always you will be able to order them over the phone from the wonderful people at the Saints ticket office. Born2Bru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete1967 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Think the club should ask for an allocation of 15,000 as I can see the usually apethetic perth public backing saints, especially with it being an all tayside derby obviously season ticket holders would be a priority but also the 3000 that backed us at ibrox hopefully the sfa will keep ticket prices low which they did do for the s final N G E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydavidson Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I see the price going back up to £25-30 but I hope they don't make that mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 As I've said elsewhere, I've had 14 people ask me about tickets for this match. Most of whom I doubt have ever been to a game. I think we're going to take a huge crowd, for us anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MySpazz Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Given we normally can't fill a 10,000 seater I'm assuming it shouldn't be too much of an issue to get tickets for the final. However, I would rather be over prepared than blasé about it. So... Is anyone expecting issues with this? ------------ NO NONE - EVERYONE WILL GET A TICKET. How much do we expect them to cost? LAST SEASON THEY WERE £10 - 28 for Hibs v Celtic at Hampden. So expect around about the same. Intersting Students qualify as a concession. How many can any one fan purchase? Usually 4 or 6. But it won't be a problem. St Johnstone will have as many as they can sell. What time is kick off (obvious maybe, but with TV nowadays I'm assuming nothing!)? 3pm and no change will happen to the time. It's one match they don't **** about with (well not this year at least) Will we only be able to buy them from McD Park? When tickets are released just call the office, they will sell and send them via post. In short what details do we know about getting our hands on tickets for the final? they'll be out after easter. sooner the better as the club don't want the headache of last minute rush Cheers! nae bother!

ex-montrosesaintee Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I assume the game will be televised, and if so does that not mean it cannot be at 3pm on a Saturday? Does that not apply once the league season is completed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint-johns-toun Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 if I don't get to this i'll be gutted, I missed all their home European games last season thanks to work, made it to my first away game ever this season to raith rovers and have managed about 4 home games - work...I hate you!

PauloPerth Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Think that's only so as not to clash with other matches. The league will be over so think yes it's 3pm kick off ex-montrosesaintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 2010 was a Saturday, 3pm kick off. ex-montrosesaintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-montrosesaintee Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Cheers, makes sense, but I question anything that makes sense when the SFA are involved. Still reckon they'll try and limit both teams ticket allowances to back their own Armageddon theory. I will never forget the 1998/99 League Cup Final, and hope that this one will be the same for my lad. How many did we take that day? About 14,000?

PauloPerth Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Was it as much as that?? I thought 9-10k but don't remember that one too well other than dasovics screamer to equalise! Def 9k for semi in 89 at parkhead. 12-15k for this one?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE FRIDGE Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Communities tend to really back their club come Scottish Cup final time. Killie and Falkirk both had huge followings at their finals. Non OF finals are usually still full houses. I reckon Saints will take around 18000. Tickets wont be a problem however. sixties saintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we will take more than that Ross, go back to the 69 Final how many Saints fans were there, they will come from every far flung nook an cranny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair Man 67 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 I was at Hampden in 1969 and I think that it was probably in the region of 10,000 Saints fans. I reckon that it could be at least 15,000 this time. I'll be looking to get a ticket if I can as will countless thousands that don't/can't get along normally.

ejksjfc Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 The only thing that will stop me going to this game that I have been waiting 50+ years for is death. My own would be pretty well final anybody else's I would work round. PS I should add that I am not being flippant in that comment Bill Shankly was wrong when he said football was .ore important than life and death it is not. I should also add a very good friend of mine, a diehard Saint all his life died earlier this month and never got see his beloved Saints in a major final. So I will be having a very special drink on 17th May to celebrate his life(as I did on Sunday) Born2Bru, ex-montrosesaintee, templeofsaints and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uphallsaint Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 There will be a few of us Ejksjfc raising a glass to those Saintees who never had the chance to see us play in a Scottish Cup Final. TheYellowBox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstar101 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Wonder if any of our EsEs friends will come across? Maybe the club could help with arrangements? livi saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abernethy Saint Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Ejk that's heart-breaking. Me Dad came up to Scotland in late 2000, to see the old country before he died of the dreaded Big C. Took him round all sorts of tourist crap, but the thing he remembered most was Saints v Hearts (2 - 2 draw, we were 2- 0 up at half-time - anyone remember that one?). He spent the whole match moaning on about McD not being as good as Muirton, like. Yur pal and my Dad and so many other Saintees passed WILL be there, because we will be there for them. As others will be there when we have passed. Which may be sooner than we think if they leave it to the 83rd minute again...... COYS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhq Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 There will be a few of us Ejksjfc raising a glass to those Saintees who never had the chance to see us play in a Scottish Cup Final. Me for one. My Dad was a lifelong Saintee who never lived to see this, he'd have loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jez1971 Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Me also, my dad supported Saints all his life and passed away around a month before we won promotion back to the SPL in 2009. I will be there with bells on to celebrate a Saints victory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
