St Johnstone vs Dundee United, Armageddon sponsored Scottish Cup Final

By the way these ticket prices are shite, especially for a game that won't sell out.

Seriously? £28 for your first ever cup final. Seems reasonable to me.

Still don't understand the whole no concessions in the North stand. Surely add a few pounds to the cost of the concession ticket price would see a lot more people tempted to pay that bit more. My whole group are now going to sit in the Jock Stein stand which is less money, especially for us only having a couple of concessions. Surely no one will pay £25 more just to sit along the sit of the pitch? If it was £17 or something for concessions in the North Stand a lot more people would consider it.

He is furious for some reason, bless him.

He's normally good for popping up with a bitter post usually regarding United, but it seems prospect of either United going 6-5 ahead on trophies over Dundee, or Saints winning their first trophy and becoming yet another team to have won a cup more recently than Dundee has really gotten to him already. Hence the numerous deluded whining predictions about the attendance for this game. Obviously if it was Dundee in the final then they easily would sell out Parkhead and still have plenty of their fans demanding tickets. Unfortunately, Dundee are too busy doing their best to screw up yet another promotion challenge to be able to worry about such things as major cup finals.

Tickets are going on sale for United season tickets holders on monday but there's no restriction on how many they can buy so I'm going down with my mate to get tickets for the group of us going through then. Are the pillars which always get complaints from away fans at Parkhead for ruining the view of the pitch only in the away end btw or are there a few of them around the stadium?

Away end only, in which no tickets will be sold, it does look like it is the corner that united are in.

Yes and I'd pay double but it's still a shite price they could have had them at £20 and £10 which is reasonable, the prices won't effect the crowd though I just think it's a bit snide.

Just the normal away stand by the sounds of it. Surprisingly the SFA seem to be aware of it and aren't selling seats there, it certainly seems suggested by the fact there isn't a big orange block on that corner in the diagram above

Delighted we'll be getting behind a goal, only think its fair in a Final for some reason. Left it up to the bloke that run the bus to get our tickets, so hoping he gets decent ones!

Usually section 120 I'm sure

Around 5k tickets sold today at McDiarmid in first day!

[Honest Saints Fan]

Folk reporting we sold 5,000 or close to on our first day of sales. Jock Stein lower tier close to sold out.

[glenrothes 1884 saint]

Decent first days sales,hopefully plenty more still to buy,come the open sale

[The Real Saints]

That's an excellent start, taking into consideration the amount of season tickets holders we have. Still two more days for the remaining season ticket holders to snap up tickets.

[Kyle]

That really is a great start. Considering a lot of people would've waited until the weekend also!

[chazas_]

Are the TV cameras in the south stand? If so looks like the SFA have done alright after all the rumours beforehand.

[Mad Capsule]

Can't believe we've only sold 5000 tickets after one day.

Armaggedon indeed.

[Steve McQueen]

Get this title fixed too!

We're the 'home' team in this one.

[Old Pack]

Fans of other clubs at a loose end on May 17 th are more than welcome to come along and support the Saints

I'll be there mate

[realmadrid]

Another 1000 sold today. Monday and the general sale will show how many tickets we can shift.

[Steve McQueen]

Seems we've moved onto selling upper tier tickets.

Don't think the £35 ones are popular
