Think we're probably around 6k.
Each of the north stand blocks have about 800 odd seats I think (more in east/west stand).
If the D2 block sells, they'll then start selling D1 (although may leave some for segregation), then prob back round behind the goal.
According to the Map we've all but sold out
I3, I4, I5, I6 & J1 in the South Stand
And
D3, D4, D5, F1, F2, & F3 not that far away .
If each section holds say an average of 800 that would point to 8800. I actually thought that with those sections nearly sold out we would have been more than 6000 but bow to those who know Hampden better.
If we sell North of 8000 I don't think that's too bad , all things considered, but at the end of the day it is what it is.

I have attached the two screen shots of seats available about 30 mins ago. The available seats are in blue. All the sections showing are what have been available for sale. If and it is if we were allocated 10000 tickets we look as if we are not far off selling them all. If that proves to be correct I will be honest and say I'm astonished considering the ticketing process and no I'm not gonna count the blue seats left 😂 Does anyone know how many tickets we took , I know St Mirren said they'd taken 1000

Cheers pal. So basically once i bought them I would then get all the tickets sent to my Hampden app and I then transfer them to each person?
Yep, but tickets won't appear in your Hampden app until a week before the game but the club send you a confirmation email as soon as you've bought the tickets

Looking for some advice folks ( no not how to tell a decent joke!!). With our usual Saturday gang plus some extras we are looking to buy 10 tickets.
If say I bought them would I then just email 9 of them to the rest as long as they download Hampden tickets app?
Yes, inside the Hampden App there is a transfer button that you'd use to send the tickets, the email address you send them to must be the ones your "gang" set up their Hampden app.

I see a few St Mirren fans wanking themselves into oblivion because they sold more tickets than us yesterday. They should sell more than us their town has twice the population of Motherwell. My guess is a crowd of 16/17000.. we will be in the region of 7000/7500. Of course if we have 3 good results before the game we might go a bit higher.

Another big home crowd yes? Stama to score at least 2 goals? Our keeper not making any mistakes?
Let’s back everyone that’s in Claret and Amber!SIWY
I'd like to think so. That's been one of the best things about recent changes, the crowds have genuinely shifted for the first time in about 20 years. That's why it's so important to get returns for the way we are playing. The additional 2000 home fans we've been getting ain't locked in punters. We need to keep them coming back. Slip up against Falkirk and Livi and the doubts in these people minds will see them drift. Clowns like me will always be there, so they really could do anything and I'd go. I'd moan like fuck about it but I'd go. These extras fans ain't as daft as me.
Scotland could also help with a decent couple of results, instilling a feel good factor that might help all the clubs.

All in the name of progress apparently
That's fuckin shambolic by the way...I'm in my 40s and even I'm not particularly comfortable with all this new-fangled shite to the point that I considered not going until someone else purchased a ticket on my behalf.
There will be cries of derision about the lack of a crowd in a 50000 seater stadium...the authorities should be making it easier, not harder ffs
The clubs are the authorities they need to be stronger standing up for sensible ticketing.

Not really the society’s roll but agree that the club should be saying something, although the instructions are quite clear on the website they do seem to be wrong about no Hampden app no ticket as my mates bought all our tickets on his without needing us all to sign up. Hopefully it’s not going to be a total riot on the day.
I never let any clubs off with the "it's the SFA" line. The clubs are the SFA and clubs should be piling it into the SFA board if the fans feel aggrevied.

Thanks mate, what a pullava. I’d have thought they’d show some sort of confirmation to confirm youve bought them?
I never even got an email.
the app is just empty with nothing under “my tickets”remember the days when you used to keep souvenirs of cup tickets and stuff. I still have my 91 final ticket. Loses the same impact when you have a screenshot.
I got an email confirmation of purchase from Motherwell. I'd check your email address on your Motherwell ticketing account just to ensure its correct and matches the one in the Hampden app. I'm sure it will be fine. I'm just one of these belt n braces sados.

For the folk who have bought tickets. Does it show anything on the app about your purchase?
I’ve paid for tickets. It’s showing as coming off my visa.
but no confirmation is shown on the app? I know the tickets won’t be there until the week before but I thought I’d get at least a message or email confirmationNo they won't be in the app yet, It says tickets will appear in the App a week before the game and the QR code on the ticket will activate on the morning of the game.

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

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?
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.
-
Just now, mio said:
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.
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.

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.

Never straight forward. Will need an hour to work out the instructions
Plus if in F2 bring yer autograph book as its a signing section 🤣🤣
It's a pain in the arse and will ensure many who would have gone won't. The process despite being a pain in the arse is quite straightforward.
1. Everyone who wants a ticket downloads the Hampden app.
2. Season ticket holders can get as many tickets as they like.
3. Season ticket holders purchase tickets from Motherwells ticketing platform.
4. Every ticket ordered must have an email address associated with the Hampden app. If you order 5 tickets for family / friends they must all give you the email address that they set up the Hampden app with.
5. When tickets are purchased all tickets will need to be sent from the Hampden app of the purchaser to the email that each person used to set up the Hampden app , the ticket will appear in each individuals Hampden app on the week of the game.
6. Entry to Hampden will only be possible using the Hampden App ticket QR code that will go live on the morning of the game.
Disenfranchising our older supporters who are not mobile app savy. Shocking way to treat potential paying customers.

Ive not argued that it wasnt a f#ck up. I would have preferred he put his laces through it.
My argument (I prefer debate) is that its not solely on Ward.
We have a manager instructing him to play that way. No surprise that he did as instructed.
I also have sympathy with those saying we should give Ox a chance. Perfectly reasonable stance to take.
My question is, why hasnt the manager done so? He see's the same things as us. But he also see's Ox in training every day and has decided to stick with Ward. Why?
Fair enough...

Hopefully yesterday will be a learning curve that there will be times when the ball needs to be kicked long or booted into the stand and we regroup from there.
That for me is really all that we are missing. If we get results against Livingston and Falkirk we are well set up for the season but we just cannot give either of those sides the goalkeeping freebies we've given Hearts, Kilmarnock and Celtic. We really should be sitting top of the league and that's a testament to how well we've played but shooting ourselves in the foot.

Im not sure I agree with that.
If you look at the still, there is a clear pass to Watt, that if it comes off allows him to turn taking 5 Celtic players out the game and giving us a great opportunity to attack.
Ward makes a rickets of it, and you could argue the pass is too risky. But the manager has stated clearly numerous times that he wants us to take risks and thats what he likes.
I was happy to criticise Ward over the handling errors, as these are basic goalkeeping skills, but this isnt the same, and totally ignores the lack of options the manager has to deal with this without ripping up what we do. If fhe thought Ox was the answer he would have been in after the Killie game.
Everyone is going round in circles on this one. It was a keeper fuck up plain and simple. He joins Stevie Woods in the worst fuck ups against the OF from a winning position. Games done and lost, we can't change it.

Why should he though? Every other time we passed about at the back we beat Celtic's press, the one time we failed they scored. What if he boots it up, Celtic player wins the ball, passes to a teammate and then scores immediately? Is that really seen as a better option?
It's the risk we are taking and it's absolutely fine when it works.The chances of the latter giving Celtic the equaliser compared to the former is 5% against 95%. Its just a bad judgement call no matter how its dressed up.

I never thought I'd live to see the day where a Motherwell keeper would emulate Stevie Woods horrendous fuck up when we were on the verge of putting Rangers out the Cup in 1998 but there you go. Ward now has now made the "Worst Goalkeeping Fuck Up Ever" a joint Motherwell award.

Calum Ward's error rate is now unsustainable. Yes, keepers do make mistakes, but there comes a point when it really becomes unacceptable, and thats where we are now. The Ox is now due his chance again. If he proves unreliable then we have to move for a new keeper in the January sales. Goalkeeping errors are now costing us big time.
Pretty much how I feel.

If the pass hadn’t gone astray and got to the intended Motherwell player then Ward would have taken out 5 of the Celtic outfield players with one pass, leaving plenty of room for out midfield and strikes to exploit.
Yes it’s risk and reward football which when it works is beautiful but when it goes wrong, like today, horrendous. I’m still a believer in it so won’t get too upset about it.
Celtic got the breaks today, FFS their penalty came from a McGregor mis-hit shot that bounced up off the ground.
It's all ifs, buts and maybes but they definitely got the luck today.The luck they always have against us? is it luck. How many times have we lost games against Celtic in injury time over the last few years?

The errors made by Ward are nothing to do with the system JBA is asking the players to play, they are pure and simply him making a complete James Hunt of it and failing to meet the basic requirements of a goal keeper, ie catching the ball or not passing it straight to an opposition player.
Correct , in any type of play a keeper of ANY standard should be able to deal with that today. He just made an horrendous error of judgement. Sadly too many have been happening to him . The dropped ball against Kilmarnock was not because of our style of play. The two goals against Hearts were not because of our style of play. They were all basic goalkeeping errors. I suspect there will be a finite level of the number of basic errors the manager will accept.

I've heard that from a St Mirren fan too and a number of their fans on social media confirmed the same.
