St Mirren v Celtic, League Cup Final Sun 14th Dec

[faraway saint]

Tickets sorted, very excited, need to calm down a bit, over 5 weeks to wait.

Now, our numbers should be, what, double what we had last Saturday?

People flying in from far and wide, traveling from all corners of the UK and all the locals.

The Tifo on display was outstanding on Saturday, credit to all involved.

Wonder what they'll come up with for the final?

Tbf it is a bit pricey for fans who are planning on making it a family day out, 

Hope they go on sale very soon before Xmas spending takes over people minds...

Everything's pricey. 

It could easily be a Christmas present. 

Not sure what people expect at a National Cup Final. 

I'd be very surprised if the price has any effect on the crowd.

A few dozen posts on SPFL facebook, mostly about Celtic V Rangers, is that a meltdown these days?

While the ticket prices are the same as last year, they are still pretty hurtful on a lot of wallets.  I'll be putting an adult and a child ticket in to the help-a-buddy scheme and encourage all others to do so if they can afford it.  You cant donate previously purchased tickets via the scheme

Who said anything about the SPFL Facebook page? 🤣🤣🤣

Oh, good for you, my fecking hero. 🙄

PS  anybody with class would have done the help a buddy scheme without shouting about it on a public forum. 

Says, a lot about you, eh?

They have exclusive access until midnight on the 19th 

Ridiculous decision : we have initial 9,500 with access to to 7,500 more - we only get the 7,500 extra IF sales go quickly on the initial release 

Jesus Christ! Put them on sale sooner to all ??

So, each season ticket holder can get tickets for 19 people who are not season ticket holders, yet the other 4000 who attend regular who don’t have season tickets have to wait?

There will be plenty of tickets for everyone. 

While 20 for each ST seems quite high I'd be surprised if they all take the full allocation. 

Plenty of the ST holders will be feeding the group your talking about. 

Stay calm, no need to panic.

It'll also reduce the chance of Celtic supporters getting in amongst the St Mirren support.

The 4000 season ticket holders only need to buy 4 tickets and it pretty much rules most of the rest out.

Depends on the appetite for the League Cup from the occasional fans I guess 

My point is that they don’t require 9 days exclusivity

Not sure why the time is critical? 

If you know any season ticket holders and you're getting a bit nervous get in touch. 

As I said, not many will use their allocated 20.

I agree that 8 days is excessive but ST holders must get "first dibs2 as they will probably start with the better viewing seats and work outward so maybe giving them 3 or 4 days to purchase.

 Those making that massive effort and expense in many cases have been royally shafted with season ticket holders able to doll out 20 tickets to
those who never go to a game while they wait for November 20th to see what shite Hampden seats are left over.
Those with previous purchases where they've travelled hundreds/thousands of miles spending a small fortune to back their team, all be it on a less regular basis but no less commitment, have been left high and dry.

High and dry? 

Are you saying ST holders shouldn't get first choice? 

What, exactly, should the club have done?

As a season ticket holder we don't need all that time to buy a ticket, also I'm only buying 3 and they are all for season ticket holders

There was a big fuss made about the prices of tickets, which can be an issue for some. 

Maybe some people need a bit of time to come up with the cash? 

[Katie Bear]

Season ticket holders should get first bash - agreed. But what's been proposed is hugely excessive.

Since my season ticket holding father passed away in '22 I have to sort my own and do the 500 mile round trip as often as I can.
6-8 tickets would have been more than enough and 3 or 4 days up to Friday would have been more than enough time too.

Must be hundreds like myself, not glory hunters turning up for 1 game but those who went home and away for 25 years but had to move away but even then
make the journey home as often as they can.

@Scott-Leeds and @Katie Bear, why don't you get in touch with @fmckinnand see if you can come to some agreement on tickets?
