Yep, that’s what I’d do if the other people I’ve bought tickets for don’t have a smartphone. It’s very common to do this.

Yeah, I think so. I've stored my son's ticket on my Hampden app, and we've entered through the turnstiles via this method for Scotland game previously.

Think right at the top it says no Hampden app = No ticket. Not a great use of technology for the end user, the fans.

Agree 100%. I guess that the SPFL, or whoever is behind this arrangement, simply doesn't care. A symptom of society in general; you only need to look at automated supermarket checkouts which invariably aren't user friendly.

So scan yourself in, pass the phone back to 5 different people and they all scan in separately?

You can buy and store multiple tickets in the same smartphone app and scan each person through the gate one after another.

Another thing I was wondering what happens to kids who dont have a smartphone. Can their parents keep two tickets in their smartphone and get them both in via the Hampden app

Infact I can’t, I’ll need to buy him a smartphone and set him up with a contract and an email address. FFS

He’s been to every Hampden occasion since 1950 but as he’s not got a fkn smartphone he’s banned. I think if I can get tickets for the family we can all meet up and go in at the one time but I’m not a season ticket holder. really poor stuff

There isnt and thats the biggest scandal. Not only do some old buddies need all the confusing faffing about they need to buy a fuckin smartphone.

I’m reading through all this just now and he’s fkd. He’s been a season ticket holder for 50yrs. he goes separately to me as well so I’m at a loss how this will all go? I don’t think there’s a facility to print off a ticket either to give him?

It is absolutely shocking cos he will need a smartphone with him and the app to get in. So if an old buddy doesn't have a smartphone they cant go, piss poor. You seriously wouldn't know football was a business dependant on customers.

Yeah he’s just been punted from the ticket office this morning and told to find someone with a smartphone. i will try and get them but i think that’s fkn disgraceful to be honest.

From. What I've read no you cant its all digital, no physical tickets will be issued. Its a nonsense to be honest, all I can suggest is get a friend or family member to get a ticket for you.

Just purchased my tickets, it was all straightforward and you can pick your own seats if you don't like where the auto selection places you in your chosen section . Still a ridiculous way to attract fans to football.

How does this work for pensioners who don’t have computers or smart phone and have no idea what an app is? Can they go to the club shop and get tickets?

I was hoping for the same, but as you say not on sale. I decided on south stand section J 1 and got 2 £40 tickets in there, an extra £4 but should be a good view.

Celtic only won because a ridiculous mistake gifted them the equaliser and lifted their tails. Our weak bench didn’t help either, but we still should have seen out at least a draw, especially as they were generally poor compared to previous seasons.

I've just logged on. They are selling tickets for North Stand D4 & D5 East Stand F1 & F2 South Stand J1, I4 & I5 You can select your own seats. I was thinking about buying tickets for the North Stand near the halfway line, but they aren't selling for those sections 😢

Entitled wankers.

Read this today in the Guardian's Football Daily newsletter: A mercifully moderated forum set up for Scottish fitba fans to critique their teams in public, the Daily Record hotline pulsed with the power of 10,000 suns on Sunday. So hot that whoever was manning it had to wear asbestos gloves as they sifted through comments left by supporters of one particular Glasgow team, who felt compelled to rant about “the turgid, unwatchable garbage” (Sean in Cumbernauld) they’d just been forced to sit though by “players not good enough or not performing at a level anywhere good enough” (Kenny in Moffat), who “don’t seem to know what they’re doing” (John in location unspecified). Rather remarkably, these appraisals were among the more printable posted by a selection of furious Celtic fans, who had just seen their team win at home to Motherwell.

Allocated sections were in a previous communication, but they should have highlighted them again. We are basically in the East Stand starting in Section F1 round to G7. We also have sections in the north stand and south stand. Not sure if you can pick your seat or if they will just be allocated randomly.

Why can't we do the same? There won't be shortage of tickets. An unnecessarily complicated set of instructions. Unlike the St Mirren site, our doesn't seem to mention the location of our allocated sections, unless I've missed this. These sort of instructions put folk off going to football.

He has got previous for making a right mess of important moments in three matches now out of 7 played and we are no even 20% into the season yet. Ward needs to up his game and cut out the howlers pronto , or it could be a season of what ifs.

You and I are looking at this from opposite angles, you see a pass to the opposition striker, I see a horrendous attempted pass (albeit under pressure - see picture above ) to a Motherwell player, the type of pass we see every week numerous times between outfield players be it by ourselves or on tv by another team which is groaned at but then forgotten unless it leads to a goal. By your criteria every player should be dropped after a misplaced pass or two. As I’ve said earlier McGregor made a mess of a shot and got a penalty while Ward messed up a pass and they got a goal. These things happen and are not a reason to crucify anyone. I’m sure Ward is more pissed off about it than anyone here and I’m also sure that his teammates, although gutted, stand by him 100%. My only gripe about the incident is that Ward jumped and cursed himself for a couple of seconds before reacting instead of getting himself into a better position to face the shot. THAT is where he should be looking to improve in future. Misplaced passes will happen to players it’s how they react that matters. You also see that mistake as what gave Celtic the win, it wasn’t, they still needed another goal for that. Someone stated a statistic for the pass of 5% chance of success against 95% chance of failure, I’d love to see the data that backs that up because I’m sure every manager and his data analysts who sets up to play the way we do would bin that style of play if that’s not a pulled out of the arse statistic.
