Raith Against The Machine Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Just quite pathetic and sad, really. If Dundee United were selling the Shed to their own fans and sticking us into a corner instead, I'd have no real issue with that. There's a limit to how far you should go with that, away supports are an integral part of the game, but if you can sell a seat to a home supporter, it makes complete sense that that's your priority and your prerogative as the home club. To give the away support a full stand and only make part of it available, when there's comfortably enough supply for the rest, is just indicative of the small-minded attitudes that permeate right across the decision making class in Scottish football. You're locking out people who make the game what it is. People who are willing to put their hands in their pockets and pay, quite frankly, way over the odds to be a part of something. And they'll enhance the occasion, make it a better spectacle, and if you want to get into marketing talk, improve the 'product'. Possibly the biggest strength that Scottish football has is its match-going supporters. Dundee United choosing to limit the away support in a stand that's already open is a sign of a football club whose leadership is small-minded, panicking and with no clear idea of it's place in Scottish football. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris1883 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Looking at how they are selling the tickets (block by block) - I think they will increase the entitlement. I mean, they do need the money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevoraith Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) That’s them all gone. I logged on at 10 on the dot and couldn’t click quick enough to get two seats together (clicked one and by the time I clicked the one next to it it was sold). Farce. Edited to add- all sold in less than one minute. Edited March 21 by stevoraith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris1883 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 People who put them in their basket but haven't bought them (shame!), mean some are re-appearing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanStarko Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Just now, Pride of Fife said: Never seen so many dots disappear so quick in my life It was mental, trying to click a seat and they just kept disappearing. Also, am I missing something is the ticket price not less now, that was £25 but I was sure it was £27 last time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevoraith Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) And just to confirm, they’ve given us the shittiest section of the Shed, next to the Jim McClean stand. No way that’s the full allocation of 1300 though. Edited March 21 by stevoraith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Jack D Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 That was mental... If they do release more blocks, what a stupid way to do it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryBumpkin Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Totally pointless way of doing it, open the stand and let it sell out. Typical of Scottish football, doing the simple things in the most convoluted way possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Funny Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Tin-pot joke of a club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevoraith Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 The absolutely know we’ll sell all 1300 for a more important game than the previous one where we sold 1950 so why not just release them all at once!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAITHROVERS84 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Got the two I needed but that was a farce. It’s Scottish championship football FFS not a champs league final. How Dundee United can be posting 5 million pound losses and turn away 700 punters paying an average of 20 quid a go is mental to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris1883 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 There are quite a lot of seats popping up in the block (50+ every so often) - people are putting them in their baskets and not paying for them. This is really unfair to the people who actually want them and it is also not helping our point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starksdynamo Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Had 4 in the basket, had to put names in for every ticket and they were gone by the time I pressed pay. If I was paying Tony Watt 5 grand a week then I'd be looking for as much cash as I can get 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride of Fife Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I managed to get two seats, filled in details…then told that they aren’t available anymore!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodricoh Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I almost got one over and over but it kept asking me to specify the number. I couldn't see immediately how to do that and it was then gone 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAITHROVERS84 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Look like it’s easier to get Taylor Swift tickets than it is for a game in the 2nd tier of Scottish football. We really don’t do ourselves any favours in not looking tinpot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Specky Ginger Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 There'll be plenty of tickets available in the home end when they go on sale. Just saying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
