aam025 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Got four tickets this morning about 9.30. No one else in the shop and it was slow on the phones. Emily said they had expected it to be a lot busier. I think the points will be dropped as there can't be that many on +145. I go to most all ticket games and I have just made it and no more.

Walter Payton Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Tickets purchased. Nearly didn't get on because of my arsehole mate forgetting to go online. With mates like that who needs enemies! Essential background info for anybody who doesn't know Craig personally- he's not the cool, laid back, anything goes guy he likes to portray on here. Experience has taught us time and time (and time) again that if you have enough loyalty points to be above whatever threshold Hearts set initially for a ticket sale, you'll be guaranteed a ticket if you want one. Craig is always a wee bit slower to learn these lessons though (in fairness it may be due to half of his loyalty points having come from others using his ticket number to attend games he couldn't be bothered attending)- by the time the first day of sales comes round, he's soiled at least 3 pairs of Hearts jammies during sleepless nights worrying about whether he'll get a ticket or not. People less familiar with Craigieboy might find they recognise him from evening news pictures of people who have queued for hours/days ahead of the ticket office opening on the day tickets go on sale- all very admirable, until you remember that the more intelligent amongst us have had no difficulties logging onto the website at some point during the day and getting tickets for the same game. On this occasion, I must admit to playing on Craig's paranoid tendencies and waiting until 11am before confirming to him that, once again, the tickets have been taken care of- this despite Craig's frantic pleading that I should be logging onto the website at 8.30am, "just in case". It's worth noting that at 1pm, tickets still haven't sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't seem to do it. God old fashioned queuing is what I'm accustomed to. And it was quite good for the cup final. A great sense of camaraderie that you don't get by sitting like a smart arse logging into some sterile ticket system that doesn't work. Cheers for the tickets though. Prick.

CJGJ Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Car parking at the Bet Butler Stadium is ?1 per car, but for this you get the opportunity to win some cash courtesy of the half-time 50/50 draw. There are plenty of spaces available. Travelling (away) supporters will be housed in the West section of the stadium, normally in sections one and two with access to facilities such as food stalls and programme vendors. As Dumbarton Rock dominates the skyline for the town, the Bet Butler Stadium is easy to find. If travelling by car, you should follow the A814 into the town from the main A82 trunk road and journey along Glasgow Road until you see Dumbarton East Station. 100 yards or so along from the station you will see a brown sign for the Castle (Victoria Street) and the ground is at the bottom of this road. By train Dumbarton East Station is approximately five minutes walk from the Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 So no ticket for Mikey on 138 points But....still fancy this trip so why not. Dumbarton Rock may nor may not allow a view but there may be other means. If can't get a view can still always visit the Castle on the Rock, the Maritime Museum, or the local hosteries. Or even old Boghead estate! Nearly ended up working in Dumbarton 30 years ago but ended up in Paisley. At least have consoled myself with travel booked for Dumfries. Great times!

Jambof3tornado Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Think it was due to the lack of parking facilities. It was indeed.
