kmcca5 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 DO we think it will sell out? Looks like they are doing the usual trick of selling it section by section to increase demand not look half empty on TV etc. Prices are a f&%king joke but as I’m up with work I’ll part with the cash. Did anyone else notice when watching the Malta game on TV you could easily be fooled into thinking there was a crowd of about 40k in the stadium if you didn't look to closely. I think this is why they are selling tickets in sections, pretty cynical in my opinion, you can end up with a crap seat because it looks like better sections are sold out on the ticket site.

It seems common sense in my opinion. Better with the crowd in one area than spread everywhere. Easier to police/steward too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDange Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 There are some attractive options that would steer the crowd towards capacity, although I think a sell out is optimistic Thursday night, easier to accommodate than a Monday / Tuesday for most folk Quality opposition The match has massive significance and importance to the campaign Last home game of the campaign Whatever happens it'll be some night in a few weeks.

sporranmaster Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Can't see it being a sell out, especially as Scotrail trains going north from Glasgow going to have part journey covered by buses - unbelievable (no, typical) !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that be a problem? I wouldnt imagine there's many trains after 1030pm anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main camera is in the south stand which is the biggest and is always the emptiest as the tickets are the most expensive so the camera always faces the busiest stands. Whether that's done on purpose or not I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doric Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 North Stand virtually sold out. Started moveing into section A in West Stand. I like the SS upper. That is always last to open up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHFC Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Looking like West Stand and South Lower will be sold out soon. Can see this being a sell out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a disgrace if we don't get at least 48,000 in the door. Slovakia won't bring that many so I doubt it will be a total sell out but high 40 thousands would do. This is our biggest game for years I would say. Some people might say the Poland game at the same stage of the last canpaign was as big but things weren't in our own hands then.

Quite poor the way they open up the sections ain't it. If one is nearly full just open up the next ffs. Sfa of all people should be expecting a sell out.

I'd imagine quite a few non regulars have been on and seen only single seats left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
