Attila the II Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I am tempted to make a flag with "Aberdeen fans were supposed to be sitting here......." on it and put it on the empty seats in our section (hopefully there arent any empty seats) blueheaven, templeofsaints and hutchyjunior 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scobby_SJFC Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Not sure why we need a season tickets sale for 3 days surely with 62,000 in a stadium in which the same game on Saturday drew 5200 there is not going to be sell out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd on Saturdays not really comparable to a cup final crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have said, it's maybe to steady the flow of sales a bit more for the staff. Most clubs offer a priority window to their season ticket holders. It's nothing new for Saints.

PauloPerth Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Think season ticket holders definitely deserve a few extra days. When this is all a distant memory and we're playing ross county at mcDiarmid next December, it'll be the season ticket holders and a couple of hundred others who are there supporting saints. This is a wee perk for them, a chance for the club to reward their support. .. Am not a ST holder by the way!! fazman1977, pitsjfc, dave mc and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a wee perk for them, a chance for the club to reward their support. .. Am not a ST holder by the way!! Spot on. Not playing the "better fan" card by any means but most clubs reward their season ticket holders with priority for ticketed matches for the reasons you mention above. I go to every home game and already have my money set aside for my season ticket for next year regardless of the cup final result. I saw someone post on the Saints Facebook page "what about the fans who have supported Saints in every round?". There's no issue here obviously considering the number of tickets available but I would be raging if I missed out on a ticket despite supporting the club all season while someone who maybe only goes to the fun Scottish cup away days got a ticket for the final! Clubs have to try and do what is best and fair for everyone. Nobody is going to miss out in this instance so I think they're keeping their ST holders happy and spreading the workload for themselves. Incidentally, I didn't have a season ticket for a couple of years and knew this meant I could miss out on tickets for big games as the priority would and should go to the ST holders. That was a fact I readily accepted being a non ST holder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born2Bru Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 -------- https://www.facebook.com/spottedinperth/photos/a.679056092112687.1073741828.678839205467709/765918756759753/?type=1&stream_ref=10  That info must be wrong. The expensive seats will be along the pitch, ie North Stand, and concessions behind the goals only, ie Jock Stein Stand. This would be the same as the semi-final.  "Arabtrust suggesting their allocation is looking like Main Stand £35, Jock Stein Stand £28, Lisbon Lions Stand £28/£10."

pitsjfc Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Aye be cheaper seats behind the goals, would be good to have a standing section?

Hate getting moaned at by people behind for standing and don't want to spoil any ones view of history being made! Exactly. Delicate balance of atmosphere and getting right behind the team, without blocking 90 mins for a small child or 70 year old. St Johnstone for all!!

Nelly78 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I still don't understand the logic behind having no concessions in the north stand. It will end up being the 2 supports behind both goals with an empty expanse of seats, in full view of the TV cameras, along the side of the pitch.

Ally91 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I've just found out I've won two tickets for the game through Carling, but there's a big group of us hoping to go together so would rather get tickets with them. I'll be looking to get student tickets so anyone looking for just the two tickets together I'm happy to sell them for a tenner each? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the ground isn't going to be full, and we want to encourage kids to keep returning to football, why price them out of having a better view of the game? Both sides of the pitch full with gaps behind the goals would be so much better!! Â It's so fukin annoying!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
