Chaka Demus & pliers Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 So around 3 times as many St Mirren fans than their average attendance have been able to buy the cheaper tickets. Around twice as many Hearts fans than our average have been able to buy the cheaper tickets. They have another 2,000 tickets available to them if needed. What the **** are they complaining about?

ToadKiller Dog Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I sort of see the gripe about the extra tickets offered to them in the south at ?30 that's a bit unfair to say you can have any more ?20 seats but we can offer you some at ?30 .

jambopaul2007 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Granted I never seen the Hampden part. Rangers got a few thousand more tickets than us and the supporters association etc where raging at it as they had much more season ticket holders than us leading to "diddy" comments etc. we had more tickets at park head.

Boab Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Don't remember a lot of grumbling from Gilmour when the initial allocations were announced. He's been caught out by the uptake of tickets in Paisley and is now trying to curry favour with the fans! It won't work....they don't like him and if he had any balls he would have asked for a 50/50 split. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helzibob Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I see where they're coming from. They've had ?20 tickets with ?10 concessions taken off of them and replaced with ?30 tickets and no concessions. So if folk want to take kids now and don't already have tickets they have to pay ?30 for a kid. Bit steep. However there's no way they would have sold another 3500, for that matter neither will we unless we get a really good result tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 So I was right then. Gilmour is obviously privately pleased that the tickets will be sold to Hearts fans, thereby increasing the match revenue for his own club, so he's giving something back to his club's fans who are being asked to pay more. He can't say this openly of course and is dressing it up as a benevolent act on his part. Playing the victim and playing the upstanding chairman. A predictable and opportunistic act from a slimy snake of a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Order Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Has anyone read the statement line by line? Starts off having "completed" the ticket sale, then changes to "a few hundred around the West Stand" then becomes "we have no tickets to sell at the game today". Which is it, do they have tickets or not? Mind you I do feel sorry for the saints fans having to pay ?30 for a ticket, that ?10 extra could get them on to the bus to Parkhead for their next home game. At least they don't have any more champions league games to pay for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJGJ Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 It could have been so easy.. all they had to do was to let kids tickets be sold in the area in question and charge them ?10....

brownkg Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Who the **** is Mirren and what's he done to deserve to be a Saint? Saint Mirin or Mirren, an Irishmonk and missionary (born circa 565; died circa 620), is also known as Mirren of Benchor (now called Bangor),Merinus, Merryn and Meadhr?n. The patron saint of the town and Roman Catholic diocese of Paisley, Scotland, he was the founder of a religious community which grew to become Paisley Abbey.

SuperSaint Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Afternoon ladies. The issue of ticket allocation is nothing to do with anything Hearts have done. The issue is with the way the SFL dealt with the situation. We had sold 99% of our 1st and 2nd allocation and were expecting a 3rd allocation for the West stand. Instead, the SFL, in their infinite wisdom, decided to give that allocation to Hearts and then gave us an allocation for the South Stand Upper, which cost ?30 with no concessions for children. So anyone going to our game against Dundee Utd today, expecting to buy their cup final tickets, will find themselves paying a lot more than they expected to pay. it will now be ?60 for a father and son, as opposed to the original ?30. I don't think anyone would be happy if that happened to their club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone would be happy if that happened to their club. Simplest solution from the outset was to give St Mirren 50% and tell them to pay for them - regardless. Saints have sold 14,000 tickets - well done. Do you honestly think there's another 3.5k demand out there , regardless of price ? ST holders could by 6 tickets each FFS. i'd have thought there's not much demand left. And I notice the club don't actually say to what extent (if any) they have a pissed off support who have been asking for tickets but not getting them. All they have done is complain that the latest batch of tickets is ?30 a head. What a shame. ?30 for a cup final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forza Cuore Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 St Mirren WILL NOT sell another 3500 tickets...no matter what. There is a very good chance that Hearts will sell them. Simplest solution? .... As St Mirren will be making extra revenue from Hearts selling more tickets, how about Mr Gilmour makes a genuine benevolent offer and underwrites the extra money required for their fans in the section they have been allocated?

The Comedian Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 This seems to boil down to the fact the average St Mirren fan cannot afford a ?30 football ticket. Hard lines. You should have made a better fist at life, scaffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they could have split the sections to give both clubs half each. Hearts fans would then have bought up the remaining South Stand tickets anyway.
