Being an old fart I like the main stand, which is why my season ticket is there. Just could have been better done with 24hours notice. Don't think anyone thought tickets would be on sale before the united match. Only got the Ormond for Motherwell and really enjoyed the change. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Says it all that the East and Main are sold out for Thursday, yet I'm not sure are much than about half full for tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Are they not selling this "blocked" section for the United game? There's tickets in every section of the East Stand still for sale. I'm not going tomorrow as there's no way I can get 2 days off from being parent in the same week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's enough seats for us all, enjoy the experience of another stand and probably being 100m from the Shecks and Muirs of this world. You glory hunters need to remember that if it wasn’t for our glorious army of season ticket holders sustaining the club through lean and average seasons, you wouldn’t get your big days out like these and would have to make do with watching Real Madrid or Man Utd or whoever your real teams are. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Heliums Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I've been out all day and only realised now that tickets are on sale. So yeah, I'm joining the club of pissed off fans - not just because I can't get my season ticket seat in the East Stand - not hugely bothered about that - but I can't even get a ticket in the East Stand now. (Can't even seem to buy tickets in the Ormond as it says I need to buy 'additional products') I can appreciate foibles in the ticketing system, but would it have been too much to ask for a wee 'heads-up' email to ST holders to let them know about the sale ahead of time? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 If you knew, you knew. If not? The north stand awaits, just try and make an atmosphere please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm honestly delighted we've sold the Main and East Stands out. I wasn't sure we would. But when it comes to ST renewal time next year, I'll have more of a think about it. I'm certainly not going to save money with my season ticket, and if there are few other tangible benefits I might as well pick and choose with the rest of the demi-monde.

I think 3rd place in the league this season gets conference groups, I may be wrong about that though, sure I heard it mentioned somewhere. It may depend on this years coefficient points though. That will make me buy one for myself, f**k even if we get the groups this season I'll probably buy one as surely they'll get first dibs at tickets when we actually have a fixture list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akuram Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I got a seat in the Main stand so i'm happy, but: Surely its not too much to ask that the club told all on the data base and a general announcement when tickets would go on sale and what was going to be the procedure to book. Just starting the sale without notice is poor. Us season ticket holders some for over 40 years deserve better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Heliums Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I couldn't initially buy tickets for the Ormond Stand because I chose 'Ormond Adult Matchday' from the drop-down list, rather than 'Ormond Stand Adult matchday'. On the plus side, looks like you're not restricted to a single purchase – ie you can return later and buy more tickets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) To the shock of everyone, people have bulk bought seats in the East Stand and are now selling them for £30+ Edited August 21, 2021 by RandomGuy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 To the shock of everyone, people have bulk bought seats in the East Stand and are now selling them for £30+That’s a fucking disgrace that. I’ve got a seat in the east after glancing all afternoon out of concern. I get the tickets had to go on sale, if the ticketing agency were using has fucked it the club needs to be honest and tell us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like yourself, I've been fortunate enough to be notified about this and get on and get our seats but the thinking that long-standing ST holders (many of whom have bought multiple STs last season when they only actually needed one for Saints TV - which, as someone said, has turned to complete shit) could have ended up behind goal etc... and have been shown no loyalty is pretty galling. The 9,000 fans won't always be there, Saints. You look after the folk that back you week-in, week-out. Fully expect the backlash to this but there you go. I agree wholeheartedly but in truth don't really care. I'd have preferred my own seat and I do think there should have been a small season ticket only window but in the end I'm just happy to be able to see my wee team stand on the edge of the unbelievable. The day trippers for the most part won't be back again for a long spell and that's their loss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my (pathetic) defence, I’d gone out and came back to my wife going through the process to make sure I didn’t miss out and she’d already chose the east stand but I hope I’m not getting abuse on Thursday for my choice of seat You don't need to defend yourself at all 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye everyone who wants a ticket will get one, just might not be in their preferred seat. Folk block buying seats and selling them for a profit are c***s though. Incidentally I genuinely don’t think you can blame ‘daytrippers’ for a lack of atmosphere. Season ticket holders are mostly old c***s and home games are dead. The folk who make the atmosphere are the people who don’t go every week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
