St Mirren fans have no reason not be at Hampden
Interesting plan for sale of tickets
St Mirren have been told they can have an initial 14,000 tickets for the League Cup final at Hampden against Rangers with the possibility of getting more if they sell these tickets.
This should ensure that every regular St Mirren who wants to be at the final can be and then let’s face it, a whole load more beside.
This can be summed up with the plans that St Mirren have to sell their cup final ticket allocation.
The tickets go on sale this Thursday on the club website and season ticket holders can buy 5 tickets each!
5 tickets, ha!
However, it doesn’t stop there.
After the St Mirren season book holders have had the rights to buy theirs, from Monday the 8th of March, people who hold a stub from the semi-final have a right to buy up to 4 tickets.
And then a period of time after that, any tickets left will be put on general sale, again with four tickets per sale.
And yet, you can still expect St Mirren fans to moan about the split of tickets for the cup final and how it is all so unfair that Rangers will get almost double their allocation.
You do want a good mix of fans for the final, it creates a better atmosphere and no club should be given a clear advantage with regards to backing but in another respect, St Mirren fans do not deserve the same amount of tickets as Rangers fans.
No offence to the family members who probably haven’t been at Hampden since May 1987, they will hopefully have a great day out when it comes but surely people who pay season book money up front to back their team should be guaranteed a ticket?
St Mirren can do this, Rangers cant!
Your opinion on this is likely to be determined by which team you support and there is never going to be a split that appeals to everyone. And if St Mirren fans want to show they are deserving of more Hampden tickets, they should snap them up quickly and get the additional tickets up for grabs.

87 ian ferguson class and a great player. as a rangers season ticket holder x5 4 boys, they are quite right getting their allocation its teams like that make the cup
Just a pity some of these peeps couldn’t make more of an effort to get to Love St or whatever it is called these days for SPHell games
BTW Jaz would you be so enthusiastic in your support of the allocation if you were one of the Rangers ST holders who did NOT get a ticket for this game?
no i signed up for the continous credit card scheme for semi finals and finals im safe billy
There’s a fine line between sorting out both sides allocation and this appears to be fair enough. They will struggle to sell their initial allocation and then any Rangers fan wanting a final ticket will get one. The problem exists when some of the bigger clubs get to a final, Dundee Utd, Hibs, Hearts etc. all with steady home crowds of 15,000 and they all of a sudden demand an extra 10,000 at the expense of normally Old Firm fans and then add in the fat cats and you have a lot of unhappy people.
