truefaith Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I just got through after all morning on redial - then had to listen to the phone ringing out for a couple of minutes before it was answered. I thought they were taunting me! Â Interesting that they asked for my email address when I ordered. Can't remember them doing that last time I called.

Bazm Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Just Back from McD  Smallish queue 6 punters in front of me bought 94 tickets between them  Over 9000 sold now R Scobby_SJFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstar101 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Okay....is the upper section of the Jock Stein a better view?  If so, why do the people who purchase their tickets early (including the 'perk' for season ticket holders to be allowed to buy first) need to do so for the lower section (as that is all that is avaiable*), with those buying later getting the option of better seats?  Once again.....IT MAKES NO FUKIN SENSE!!!  *not including North Stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 The middle section of the lower tier to the top of lower tier is the best view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger Bakers rebel army Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Looks like we are heading for 10,000 by the end of today, so exciting to be a saintee. rik2304 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ex-montrosesaintee Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) 10,000 from a city of 45,000 folk, looking like the 15,000 target isn't that fantastical. 1 in 3 people attending the cup final is staggering.

Aitchy Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 10,000 from a city of 45,000 folk, looking like the 15,000 target isn't that fantastical. 1 in 3 people attending the cup final is staggering.  Dundee has a population approaching 160,000.   Lets not get too carried away. To insinuate that it is only people from the City Of Perth buying tickets would be wrong. Perthshire as a whole is a very large catchment area and traditionally Saints have always been well supported by people from rural Perthshire.  Its great to hear we are well on our to breaking the 10,000 mark, however in my opinion, thats the least we should expect to see at the clubs first ever Scottish Cup Final.  Just hoping that the club are able to capitilise on the great positivity surrounding the club to create a legacy long term. dave mc and Al C 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shouldn't speak, I live in rural Angus and I'm a Saints fan, ha ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonSuperJ Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Any idea what our initial allocation was as haven't yet got through via phone and my brother wont get down to office until Thursday at the earliest? With 9000 already sold would like to know the buffer before we have to wait until the next allocation is given to the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 9000 already sold would like to know the buffer before we have to wait until the next allocation is given to the club. I really don't want to sound negative and in my heart I hope we sell 30000 tickets, but I seriously wouldn't worry about it, the tickets we have in the ticket office and campus will not sell out before Thursday.

Widge Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 We'll need more tickets for sure. I reckon we'll hit the 14k mark going on recent sales. Whichever way you look at it, it's gonna be one hell of a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Center Half 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   10,000 from a city of 45,000 folk, looking like the 15,000 target isn't that fantastical. 1 in 3 people attending the cup final is staggering.  Dundee has a population approaching 160,000. ex-montrosesaintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-montrosesaintee 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. Â 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. Â Â 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.
