Ricardo Quaresma Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 OK, this is getting tedious now I asked yesterday if anyone bought seats in G7, 6, 5 Now, someone implies those 3 are held back, but someone confirms they bought in G7; there is NO G8 on E-Tickets or any seating plan Reason I asked, about G7, 6, 5 is because I looked back through thread to see all the snapshots of E-Tickets and that area (G7, 6, 5) had snapshots of these sections taken off a PC screen with a phone and the picture quality was low, although it very much looked like there were blue dots in there; obviously there were in G7 This may mean G6, G5 are still unsold, but anyone claiming they know this, I have to admit, the trust level is deservedly low Guess we'll find out soon enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckies1874 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) 37 minutes ago, This is My Story Podcast said: No idea. I just know that we’ve got around 2500 tickets left to sell. So assumed there must be unopened sections. Correct. There are not full sections unopened but there are rows and blocks in certain sections that have never been put on sale. I've heard we are hovering around 18k which should get forced up nearer the 19k mark today/tomorrow with the Big Hearts initiative and continued drip drip sales. In my view absolutely superb sales given the history of the fixture, continued recent humpings by them in Glasgow, whet we've taken to recent semis v the Old Firm (including just 5 months ago against the same opposition - we will have at leat 3k more this time!) etc. When all is said and done we will have sold nearly twice as many as Aberdeen have for a Saturday fixture!

This was our chance to show that we can sell 20k plus with a relatively successful season.

CaptainShanks Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 We have sold a lot more than I thought we would and have done historically against the Old Firm in semi finals.

Gorgie_Rules Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 The actual number sold isn’t really that important, its the big gaps in the stand that looks a bit shite, especially when the club asked for half the allocation and couldn’t sell it. Thankfully more fans have snapped up tickets in the 2 and a half empty sections that we had last week, therefore come sunday its going to look pretty full. Hopefully a rush of sales coming up to the weekend as a few change their minds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with all info from the TO, unless you get them to qualify it by stating how many seats have been held back, it's not much help. The TO told me last week that "most" of the sections were open for sale - but "most" could mean 99% or 51%, so pretty useless in terms of working out where sales were at. FWIW, there weren't over 1K left on the ticketing map at 1pm yesterday, more like 800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brunoatemyhamster Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) Am I missing something? Why are we having to shell out for the unsold tickets? Surely if we only sell 10k, then we get 10k worth of sales. Where's the 150k that's being reported going, if it's not coming back to us as a share of tickets sold?

Don't think there can be in the East Stand - tickets have been sold in each section. There are 3 rows at the front and 2 at the back which haven't been available (that's a sizeable number) and there may be small rows/blocks held back within sections but that's impossible to tell. Otherwise the only possibility is H5 & H6 South Upper (great seats!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveandal Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Dot count update (usual caveats apply) Looks like about 655 seats available to buy at the moment. As has been covered extensively this does not mean we are 655 away from a sell out. Since 5.30pm yesterday we have sold, give or take 166 tickets. The only sections with sizable available seats are G1 and F7. G1 looks to have 275 seats left so at least 2/3rds full. Whatever happens between now and Sunday this has been a monumental effort. The BH total is currently £17.7k as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
