I guess one way of doing it would be to have a ticket booth somewhere on-site, where fans can walk up and buy a ticket and get assigned a seat number on the day of the game. But really, I don't see any reason why the vast majority of people can't just buy a ticket online in advance using the club's existing system. Pretty soon cash is going to be a thing of the past - not just at football games, but everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintJet Posted February 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Not heard a great deal from the team. I thought we would have got a wee titbit about how the new signings were settling in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s ok for those of us who have the IT skills to purchase on line but there are fans of a certain vintage, and others, who cannot order on line, be it because they don’t have a smartphone, tablet etc., or because the have ‘fear’.

Understand that but I'd have to wonder how many people that actually applies to at this point in time. Ticket sales for most other events have been heading this way for some time now, and if anything Scottish football has been pretty slow to embrace the change. Saints, to their credit, do always say that anyone unable to buy a ticket online can call the ticket office for assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely be tempted to put Sang in for Brown and Bair in for May. If they are both as good as they are claimed to be that could be quite a team. Too positive, too soon? 5-0 Saints Agree i thought brown was our biggest liability against Livi... Lets all sing for Sang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite sure there has been other games that have been pay at the gate this season. Its not about one or the other being the best way, its about choice and finding a way that allows both. Ticket only is prohibitive and the club needs every fan they can get in through the turnstiles. It allows spur of the moment decisions to go to games. It would be foolish to get rid of that.

HOODLUM65 Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Just an update on my previous post. For home supporters gate 1 and 12 will take cash. Not sure which stand(s) these gates are in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MySpazz Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 Can't wait to see what Bair can do..... see how much of a player we have per pound spent, compared to the likes of watt....reckon we could do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland-Saint Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 blair and hendry, thats what we have for tomorrow>? havent had a big striker for a while and this big cannuck seems up for it....i think if hes in the stands at livi game hes maybe acclimatized....? must say (again) always liked hendry, just seems to have that striker instinct and noz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chips Posted February 5, 2022 Report Share Posted February 5, 2022 Unfortunately no Bair in today's line up as still waiting for international clearance (always seems we are lagging behind others with this issue) but a good chance we'll see Sang on the pitch at some point today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is international clearance not more to do with the registration paperwork transfer from one national organisation to the next? Assuming the work permit would be sorted already.

I think Bair's was worse because it involved Canada and the MLS. At least he's here, fit, covid-free and ready to step up. Might see Hector-Ingram at some point today as well. crieffsaintandy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
