Richie Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Phoned up for a ticket yesterday and got section the back of section P2, although it was only a single ticket. Not sure the photo ID thing will be an issue if you're on the database already with a purchase history (which the vast majority of folk likely will be).

Kat Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 I assume we have sent some tickets back. Celtic said on twitter yesterday they sold out but today they are saying they have got some additional tickets to sell for the West Stand. Thought we would have sold the 15k no issues.

Stu Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 I await being told of several obvious solutions and not trying hard enough but it just wasn't feasible for me to drive from Aberdeen to Motherwell to buy tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_P Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 How many tickets we ultimately sell in the end remains to be seen but I think the club have played it pretty well with the tickets all things considered. I'm always of a mind that if a club believe they can sell out half of Hampden then they should be entitled to a 50/50 split in a Final regardless of the incessant whining it never fails to generate amongst (the invariably) Old Firm opponent who believes they should be entitled to whatever number of tickets they want. I think by the time the game comes around the club will have been able to accommodate every 'Well fan that wants to be there whilst at the same time maximizing the income we can make from the game. If we were of the mind we could I suspect have stood firm and refused to allow any Celtic fans in the West Stand or get that top tier but if we've ample tickets for our support and nobody is missing out, then why not take the extra revenue? There's the argument that numbers wise we'll be at a disadvantage but I think there 200 of us at Parkhead the last time we beat them there and 9,000, 10,000,or however many thousand Motherwell fans there will still be a better ratio than what we're used to in many cases. Still hope we can limit them to as few sections in that West Stand as possible but there presence isn't completely without its benefits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yosemite sam Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 The one thing we have to do against Celtic, is be right in their faces from the kick off, same as we did to Aberdeen in the quarter final. If we allow them space and time there will be only one outcome. So lets intimidate them from kick off. COYW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxteth O'Grady Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 I'd heard we'd sold approximately 9000 as of close of play yesterday. Thought we'd have shifted more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellowell Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 As Hibs showed at semi final I think floating fans give up before a ball is kicked when playing Celtic these days . I am sure if Hibs has been playing any other team in semis would have taken a lot more . I know some people who would have went if game had been Saturday also and imo its wrong to have a cup final on a Sunday as I would rather have 5 30 kick off on a Saturday . I expected 10K tbh so not far away but as said before semi final would rather have true loyal fans going ballistic at game than all spread out within people only there for the occasion . We will still make enough noise so Bring it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 As a part owner of the club, I want Hampden to be be full. I'd prefer Motherwell fans, but if Motherwell fans can't fill our allocation, then I'm not fussed if it's Celtic fans or neutrals that make up the numbers. I don't get the hate for people "there for the occasion". It would be one thing if they were taking tickets away from the hard core support, but it looks like there will be enough to accommodate all parties concerned.

Squirrelhumper Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Numbers sold means fuck all lads. We only sold 11,500 in 2012 and Celtic were on a massive unbeaten run and going for a treble. I actually preferred it as it was less of a day tripper final and the atmosphere was better. Get right behind your team and anything can happen. If we did it, then so can you. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellowell Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 I certainly dont hate people there for the occasion just saying that if we have 9000 diehards will make just as much noise if not more than 9000 diehards in among a crowd of 15000 . I would rather we had sold our allocation but as we have not it shows the floating supporter not going so all Im saying is Im sure we will make just as much noise with or without them . I also agree if we cant sell our tickets Celtic should be given more as would prefer fans there rather than empty seats like the Hibs semi. Every Well fan who wanted a ticket has had access to 1 and thats all that matters . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelman1991 Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Thought we might have held our allocation at least until the weekend. Public sale only started yesterday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuwell Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Thought we might have held our allocation at least until the weekend. Public sale only started yesterday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk At the moment we have no idea of how many tickets we have returned - if any. We could have asked for 15000 with a provision that if sold we would get an extra couple of thousand if required and these could be the tickets that have now been allocated to Celtic. There might be more to be returned after the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 I await being told of several obvious solutions and not trying hard enough but it just wasn't feasible for me to drive from Aberdeen to Motherwell to buy tickets.

Brazilian Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 I await being told of several obvious solutions and not trying hard enough but it just wasn't feasible for me to drive from Aberdeen to Motherwell to buy tickets. I take it you are trolling, there is no way you are a Motherwell fan residing in Scotland that is unable to get a ticket for the final with very little effort. I certainly dont hate people there for the occasion just saying that if we have 9000 diehards will make just as much noise if not more than 9000 diehards in among a crowd of 15000 . you made a decent point about match scheduling maybe limiting the floating fans , but the patter about us having 9000 diehard fans is pretty laughable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellowell Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Im sure if you asked club Stu you could have purchased tickets over phone and collected from Pittodrie on Saturday and could probably still do so , or even purchase and pick up from Fir Park day of game but thats only if you really do want to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 The club may post them out as they're doing for our group or maybe a member of this site could pick a ticket up for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larkhall Dosser Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 Guy at work is Celtic ST holder and bought seats in B4 today Seems like then weve given back tickets for B4 and B5 then. Taken from the announcement on the general sale which was put out on the official website on Monday "As per SPFL instructions, tickets will be sold from Area P1 towards P6, Area A1 towards A7 and then Area B1 towards B3". As previous posters have commented, id rather we were getting a share of the gate receipts from a full stadium rather than from a 3/4 full one.

Stu Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 I wasn't trolling but, as that's how it might be viewed by some, I'll not say anything more except: thank you very, very much to those who offered to collect tickets for me.

Our information is it's not the clubs' decision given public sale only commenced on Monday. Suspect, as has been mentioned previously that the powers that be don't want the empty seat scenario and if my club can maximise revenue - small price to pay.
