50yrs a Saint Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I've got my ticket but fair play to you OSaintee89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOODLUM65 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hi all, been watching this thread closely and the situation is ****. I have a spare ticket due to the father in law (recently moved here from Trinidad) thinking it'll be too cold for him. So rather than take a part timer i'd like the ticket to go to a full time fan and clearly you all fit that category on here. Can't think of a fairer way than to say its only on offer to someone who's already posted. First correct score prediction for the Celtic game on sat wins the ticket at face value. One guess per person. Also guess the time of the first goal as a back up incase the score isn't predicted.Ha ha. Nice story. I've supported Saints all my puff and I'm finding it fffffff freezing OSaintee89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 If those figures higher up are correct, that VIP's/ corporates etc are getting 3500, then the spfl should be reducing that by a 1000 or so, as the spfl are the ones who have caused this, move the Hibs fans from our end of the main stand to those comp seats in centre stand (better seats so they shouldn't object), and give Saints the front and rear sctions of that end of the Main Stand.if Saints fans are getting no joy from the spfl, and want to get back at them a bit, it might be worth an email to utilita, who are this years league cup sponsors. Something to let them know about this ticket shambles they've put their name alongside! An unhappy sponsor would certainly make the governing body pay attention.. http://www.utilita.co.uk/contact-us/contact-utilita http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34527126 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin James Is On Stilts Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 We will get the 500 seats that were assigned in the original plans or we will get nothing at all. It's far too close to the match date for them to entertain any alternativesThere is absolutely no chance of cancelling 1000 corporate tickets and moving large chunks of the Hibs support. It would be a logistical nightmare, and the biggest factor is obviously that the SPFL will be more comfortable pissing off supporters than pissing off sponsors. That should surprise nobody.

Guest ScottMann Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Capacity at tynecastle 17 529Saints allocation 3 500Hibs allocation 11 500Suits etc 3 529So based on this the bloody sponsors have a bigger allocation than saints. Common sense would have seen the saints side of the main stand left until both clubs requested them. Unbelievable if true. Surely the number of freebees should be dependent on the overall number of tickets? Will there be about 7000 spongers at Hampden for the other semi?

Guest ScottMann Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 If the issue is Saints fans being above Hibs fans surely they could fill the front row with stewards and maybe not sell the row or two behind that. I don't know how many seats that'd be but it's better we only got eg 300 extra tickets than none at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how many seats that'd be but it's better we only got eg 300 extra tickets than none at all.looking at the ticket plan on the hibs website, I suspect it is more of a segregation issue in the mainstand itself rather than sitting above Hibs fans. There is nothing more than a passageway between the sets of fans in the mainstand itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilgour Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 What a frigging whoo haa......Ffs there was only 2500 saints at the Hamilton game !! As long as they get tickets eh ?? Hibs could not sell their allocation at the last Easter Rd clash with the Currant Buns.They have had "disappointing" crowds in their most succesful season for a while..Dont forget the Hamilton game was in doubt and like the SPFL I think you are abot 500 short.

ex-montrosesaintee Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 1-0 to Celtic, Commons 78 minutes Should I win I'd give the ticket to my dad, a long time ST holder who was unfortunately ill and missed the ticket release. He was going to get me a ticket, so we both missed out, but I'm gutted for him as he's hardly missed a game for years. OSaintee89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denzil Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) And so, because of SPFL incompetence and exaggerated segregation fears, Saints fans will now pick up tickets from the Hibs allocation, and with it create a 'segregation issue'?

Genius. Get buying and show them up as the tools they are.Exactly what I was thinking. They are stalling over a decision because of fears of segregation, yet the UNTHINKABLE has happened and tickets for Hibernian sections have made it to general sale, tickets for the very area that should have been allocated to saints in the first place... Yet hibs fans are still even at this stage of crisis are being offered first. Insanity!!The campaign to fill: "Mainstand block N2 lower £20" with saints fans starts now...https://www.eticketing.co.uk/hibernianfc/basket.aspx Edited January 22, 2016 by R.B.B:- Adz 541ntees and dublin saint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
