Cagey Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 It will be interesting what Saints put in place for the Rangers game. Will they move the home fans to Main stand or just move Ormond fans. Will they just give Rangers the North & north end of Main stand now that we are not desperate for the blue pound. Will they ban away fans. How do they stop Rangers fans buying tickets for home stands. Interesting & a challenge for Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the selling of online tickets will be via season ticket holders only. Phone or in person tickets will have to be on the database. That seems fairly well set up at least. They can't do much more than that to keep them out of the home stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYellowBox Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 I think there is too many season ticket holders to shift everyone to the main, especially with the red zone. Maybe the club will assume that not all ST's will want to go. As an aside, was there an issue with the ticketing system for the LASK game? System showed east and main as sold out, but there was a lot of empty spaces and not just random seats here and there, there was blocks of seats free. I think the way to stop Rangers fans getting home tickets is to fire out a tweet now to get fans to sign up to the database if they are not on it, with the stipulation, no one not on the database gets a home ticket. That or say if you are not on it, you must buy a ticket for more than one home game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that area had originally not been sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the empty seats that have to be left in main stand I don’t think it can accommodate 2700 season ticket holders with the seats that are left. There is no chance all ST’s are turning up but club will have to work on basis they are. we’ll also want maximum income so think you would give rangers East, North and 1/3 of Ormond, leave a small section of ormond empty in middle then we get rest of it and Main. If they do that, with ST’s, there will be very few, if any tix available for saints ST’s and those on database to buy additional tix but so many folk don’t like attending OF games anyway.

Yeah totally, it could still create issues. maybe given the number of ST sales we simply cant give them the east stand?? If so I guess they get both ends plus section of main stand nearest north; but club will likely be losing out on significant potential revenue if they did that. tough one for the club to figure out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many ST holders now to move from East. So move Ormond ST holders to main stand & give away support North,Ormond & north end of Main. The problem you are left with is trying to stop away fans getting tickets for East & east Main. Saints have to get this right as their could be a few high demand games this season with a few OF & Hearts etc fans coming to Perth. That may all be easy to achieve but keeping away fans out of East & east Main will be difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYellowBox Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 The alternative way to do it is to keep the saints 2/3 of the main and keep the whole Ormond stand. That would be north of 3k home seats. East stand fans mainly in Ormond, pack it out and get the songs going. Obviously standing is allowed in there for these games anyway.

I paid for a seat that runs parallel to the pitch. I no circumstances am I prepared to go behind the goal so they can have my seat. I don’t even think there’s enough free seats in the MS to house all ST Holders if we kept the usual away end. With 2700 ST holders now, giving away 3 stands doesn’t seem likely to me.

garydavidson Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 I think they will keep Saints in the East and Main stands and move the Ormond season ticket holders so old firm get behind both goals and the away section of the main stand.

You are a nice guy and there is a saying "guid folk are scarce" so I would not advise repeating this suggestion audibly in the East! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipa Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 I'm an East Stand ST, and have not objected to being moved in the past, giving them the 3 stands. However, we already have significantly more ST's than before, we have more money from that and also from Europe, and fitting the ST's in will be more difficult. The financial difference between giving them both ends and the away section of the main, and giving them the 3 stands is maybe 2000-2500? seats, at £28 would be 56-70k. Take extra stewarding and police, extra damage to the stadium, and loss of goodwill from the home fans, is it worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger Bakers rebel army Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 1,970 season tickets sold in the East Stand, would make sense to allow season ticket holders to sell additional tickets to other saints fans if the online system will allow it, I would expect East to stay Saints I wish we could fill it and make some noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add on say 300 to 500 non ST holders who may wish to attend and the only way to accommodate them is to make the East Saints only. After yesterday now is not the time to pee off our loyal fans any further. templeofsaints, Pat McGroin and Broggy Man 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
