You’re doing a grand job, JALBO - don’t be put off by the carping from passers by. It must feel like being on the golf when some six-year-old comes by with his mum and says ‘mummy, why didn’t he hit the ball straight?’ ?? so so keep up the good work, as we push towards a sell-out ??? ?

This pattern could continue - but I've no idea what the thinking is behind this kind of selling. trying to undermine the dot counter elite in my opinion Mad Budge Oot!

I know a guy who has a season ticket and is taking his wife and kid to the game but can only buy two tickets at the moment so is holding back until the general sale. I am sure there will be lots more like that so we could see a big uptake from next Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all had season tickets for 15 years but due to work,family and moving abroad we all can't attend as many matches as we would like. Hopefully be able to get tickets Some people do jump to conclusions when you say that you don’t have a season ticket. Just as big a jambo than someone that’s had a season ticket for many years, things just come up. Midweek and Sunday games for me. I think there should be no problem getting a ticket come Thursday mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

innerjambo Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Given that whole blocks of seats seem to be getting released, that were previously thought sold...... I wonder if we haven't yet reached 15k? That would certainly be in line with the club announcing 5k, and then 10k accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JALBO Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 5pm Dot Count. Please bear in mind all the caveats mentioned previously about possible unreleased seats. West Stand - currently selling W5-W17 (lower) and W10-W22 (upper) Allocation currently on sale: 7380 Seats remaining: 222 Seats apparently sold - West Stand: 7158 Hearts End (South Stand) - currently selling S1-S17 (lower) and S2 (upper) Allocation currently on sale: 5834 Seats remaining: 338 Seats apparently sold - South Stand: 5496 East Stand - currently selling E11-E17 (lower) and E14-E22 (upper) Allocation currently on sale: 4643 Seats remaining: 154 Seats apparently sold - East Stand: 4489 Total seats currently made available for sale: 17,857 Total seats remaining: 714 Total seats apparently sold: 17,143 It could be that including hospitality, wheelchair, blind and PA sales, we're closer to 18.000. There does appear to be grey'd out zones in the middle of East and West stand allocations that are presumably for hospitality seating. Also - it does appear that Celtic have more of the East stand than Hearts. It looks like that at least some of the segregation will be in E11 and E14 which are Hearts sections. We may find the opposite happens in the West Stand to even it all up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theme From Sparta F.C. Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I went along to the Ticket Office yesterday for 4 tickets. The Lad that served me said the East Stand was totally sold out. They couldn't sell the South Upper until the South Lower was sold out. And limited tickets in the West Stand. I managed to get 4 tickets in W14. So we're in the West Upper. So folk in the queue left saying they'd come back next week when the South Upper go on sale.
