MarkyMark Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 What are the club’s proposals for the Ayr game given that we have sold over 3,000 ST’s. Will it be a free draw or will they hive some tickets off for a privileged few before having a ballot like they seem to have done for the play off. They need to be more transparent this time given the number of ST’s sold. The other alternative is to ask for a higher capacity given that we have 18,000 seats minus the areas being worked in. If families sit in bubbles we should be able to squeeze a few more in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berts Killie Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 ST holders who had bought a Privilege Seat should be the first to get a ticket. That was the deal when they were sold the seats under Bobby Fleeting. Yes it was a long time ago but that was the deal and should continue to be so. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillinger Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Fyi, I believe capacity nowadays is around 17k 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfc_superteam Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) I think there should be a case for asking for this to be postponed for a week or so. Surely to allow at least all season ticket holders in or the SPFL should compensate lost income Edited June 28, 2021 by kfc_superteam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provided the holder kept up their end and continuously purchased season tickets for it? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fletch Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 The announcement said 2k minimum with extensions that can be allowed per application. Surely we apply for this to be extended? I can't see there being a problem for such a big fixture to get additional number given the size of the game, size of the stadium and it being the week before restrictions are planned to be removed? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had to continously renew to retain the Privileged status. I wonder how many have (I didn't). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killie billies pal Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 The pressure on ScotGov to lift restrictions will be massive if England goes ahead on July 19th, and it does look like they will. I can see a mad rush for ST’s in late July and all holders will be allowed entry to this game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely to allow at least all season ticket holders in or the SPFL should compensate lost income You can't shuffle fixtures around based on tentative dates set by government. And there's no legal grounds for the SPFL to compensate. I don't even know how a claim could be quantified as the match is being televised which would impact the gate anyway. There's no recent matches between the clubs on which to estimate the crowd. We just need to get on with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Anything less than all season ticket holders who want to attend at the game is an embarrassment IMO. Felt we should have been pushing harder for more than 500 at the Dundee game. They’ve had that educational experience or whatever they called it now so get the fans access. They need to come up with some sort of fair ballot or rotation system for this season or at least as plan b 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan R Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) I’m 100% sure the club will apply for an increased limit. It would be a slap in the face to fans if the club was continuing to push ST take-up beyond 2,000 but not intending to apply for a substantial increase. There are many loyal walk-up fans - the club should be fighting for them too. Edited June 28, 2021 by Alan R 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMark Posted June 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) Transparency is the key. Whatever the number is the club need to be transparent in how tickets are being allocated and if they are deducting an amount from that total for sponsors etc. Ayr Utd will also want some tickets. They may get none for normal fans depending on the restrictions. The club also need to apply for as many tickets as possible so that as many ST holders can attend as possible. Walk ups are more difficult to deal with as it is difficult to estimate those. I think non ST holders would have to purchase a ticket in advance if they can be accommodated.

MrTumnus Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 I would apply for 2000 in each stand, up to 6000 Killie supporters, up to 2000 Ayr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guff92 Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 If there’s still a max of 2,000 fans allowed into this game with everything else that’s gone on between other sports and off the ball politics I give up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
