Lindberg Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Hi all We are five boys from Denmark looking to make a trip to McDiarmid for the upcoming Celtic match. I have called the tickets office and I was told that I needed a season ticket holder to vouch for me in order to create an account in the club's ticketing database where I can purchase tickets. My problem is that we do not have any connections to the club and we do not know any season tickets holders. As a last chance I thought that maybe we could be lucky to find a kind soul that would help us here in this forum. Please let me know if anybody want to vouch for us or if anybody want to sell tickets to us directly. We will be very grateful if anybody could help us. We would very much like to take part in any pre-match events and also going to a pub where the fans hang about before the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mc Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Who are you supporting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindberg Posted January 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 We are not supporting any of the teams really. However, we have great respect for your club and we will do our very best to fit in on the stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 I'm very cynical, but Celtic fans regularly try this to get tickets for the home end once their section has sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slf Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Why did you pick the Celtic match ? if you were to attend any home games outside Celtic and rangers ,then you would have my respect and I would vouch for you. as it is try Celtic.

Lindberg Posted January 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 I understand your scepticism. But we are really not supports of Celtic and we will not support them on the stands - to the contrary we would love to support St Johnstone. We have a history of going to matches of mid/low table clubs as these matches are more "real" and support the underdogs. We have picked the Celtic match because it is the only match the the league that Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheaven Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Hope someone helps these guys out - what harm is it going to do? It's money for Saints and they might even end up as Saints fans if it's a good experience. This is one of the problems with this ticketing strategy - people are prevented from going and giving the club their money.

I apologise if I'm miles out, but this tweet appeared within 20 minutes of the user signing up and wanting tickets for the exact same game. Again, I'm hyper-cynical, and if I'm miles out just call me a ****. andy rhodes fancy watch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akuram Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 After the last Celtic match how many saints non season ticket holders will pay to see this one so extra bums on seats are surely a good thing. Why not just sell tickets to anyone who wants one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepless Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) I'm somewhat suspicious as well, it has to be said. A few extra bums on seats may be fine, but not in the wrong part of the ground. Segregation is a fact of life in football. And, with the OF, for good reason.

541ntees Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 can the mods or admin not tell where the i.p address has came from? and even if its real he called us a mid/low level side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melbourne Saint Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 smells fishy... why can't stewards do their job & get them out??? because it will cause trouble??? if it does, dock celtic 20 pts. that'd shut them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That person is looking for a different number of tickets though, which would indicate that it's not the same person? Not saying you're wrong, or even that you're wrong to be cynical about it - I just think it's a bit of a shame that casual fans or neutrals are basically locked out of these matches when they're willing to give the club a bit of money. When I visit new places I always like to go see the local football team if I can, but I have noticed in recent years that it's becoming harder and harder to do that because clubs are now so suspicious of newcomers.

garydavidson Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I think Saints fans have the right to be suspicious. If it turns out these chaps are Celtic fans and make it known it will be the Saints fans around them that get thrown out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindberg Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) Hi everybody I understand you are suspicious but we are truly not Celtic supports. We live in Denmark and we do not have any affiliations with any Scottish football clubs. If I can validate my IP or prove my location in other ways, I will have no problem with doing so, so I can dismantle these theories I'm trying to get a hold of the SLO - I will let you know if we get tickets. It will be perfect if they could be posted to Denmark Edited January 17, 2019 by Lindberg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendy Saints Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Isn't it sad that The Forces of Darkness and Sellick make us as paranoid as them.... its hard to disagree with any of the posters/postees? I too like to visit different football grounds, however some of the nonsense the ugly sisters bring makes you not want to even attend your own home games... I'd like to think that our wee non sectarian diddy team could welcome any other football supporter to our ground without worrying about whether it is a pseudo Sellick or FOD fan.... sad in this day and age that their nonsense can taint our beautiful game... blueheaven, dave mc and south inch 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
