Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Definitely a reduction if we reach the final. Celtic will correctly point out the lack of loyalty and demand a fairer share based on the semifinals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time there is a Cup game, a kind of Uber fever comes over some and wild suggestions are aired. If we get by sevco, the allocation of tickets will be fair and everyone will get one ! Yeh I know mate, just pointing out how stupid and petty his suggestion was. but he knows that seeing as he failed to reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 13 hours ago, Fozzyonthefence said: No, the point was we’re getting good crowds despite folk not going through the turnstiles, I.e. the many ST holders who are not bothering to go but are still counted as being there. Thought it was pretty obvious. Do you have exact numbers for this? Each game and why folk aren't there? For example, I'll miss the next game as away, nothing to do with the football.

Ridiculous notions of putting people ahead of others because of attending one game have been shot down in flames many times in the past, and will continue to be so....because it’s daft. Do we need to do this every time ? However, that is exactly what happened for the cup final in May, if you went to the semi you got a ticket for the final.

Deans Jambo Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Sales so far I'd approximate are over 10,000, possibly 11,000. Quick count of G1 and I get 942 seats. Some of the other G sections smaller so I'll average 900 per section. G1-7 (7x900) = 6300 J1 = 750 I3 + I6 (approx 900x2) = 1800 I4 + I5 (approx 800x2) = 1600 I1 + I2 + G8 = 500 TOTAL (Approx) = 10,950. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Dont think we were ever going to sell half the stadium given our form. Should have given us until end of month to buy before given the rest to the Uglies to have a public sale on the friday n saturday . It wouldn't be a problem for the Orcs as they all live in glasgow anyways so could quickly nip to ibrox . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have got the whole of the South Stand given that Rangers got the North Stand. Now we see our allocation of top tier seats, I'm wondering who gets to sit in sections K and L? Rangers fans? Corporate? Empty seats? I would have bought more tickets if concessions were available in the South Stand so if SPFL are serious about maximising attendance at future semi finals they need to look at pricing and availability of concession tickets.

Nothing to do with what I’m saying. All I mean that if we never had so many ST’s sold our crowds would be lower.
