I certainly hope so. I eventually went down for mines just after 4 and waited for something like 10 minutes. The talks down the Brandon shop are of a decent amount of new season tickets being shifted, and not many tickets being left for the ballot, which is unlikely. I did hear of a ticket limit of two per ballot entry as well, which could be true I guess.

Just out of curiosity, how many people do they have actually serving in each venue?

I've just spoken to someone who's been in line since 10:30 this morning, and is still waiting. I'll head down tomorrow I think.

I wasn't telling anyone anything, I was posting my opinion. Get a grip. My view is that whomever forks over their hard earned to attend the cup final is as much of a Motherwell fan on the day as the next person, regardless of their track record. MJW may be a regular feature at Fir Park, but moaning about being sat in a row next to a load of "day trippers" is cringeworthy. The last time I checked we needed all the fans we could get, and should be encouraging these part-timers along to the games, not looking down our noses at them. 16,000 is still the number I'm hearing at the moment Jim.

I'll tell you what then, let's just accept an allocation that covers the real fans who show up "week in & week out", shall we? It'll be the grannies & other family members who make up the bulk of our cup final crowd. When they pay their money for their ticket they are just as much a supporter on the day as you or me. What I'm hoping is that we can retain even a small percentage of those who attend the final and see them at Fir Park a few times a season. It's a national spectacle, and as such it will hopefully see the entire area embrace the occasion like they did in 1991. Sure, most of the fans that go won't know Bill Dickie's shoe size or have a mention scrawled in the east stand toilets like yourself, being a real hardcore and all that, but their support will be crucial in making it a great day for all concerned.

Well, if you're that afraid of ending up in a row full of daytrippers you could always do everyone a favour and stay home. Whoever buys a ticket for the Motherwell end of Hampden on May 21st is just as much of a fan on the day as you or me. This elitist pish is doing my head in.

Aye, it made it to DVD. I've got it.

There's no better way to put the Rangers behind us than to look forward to the match with United next week. The main positive to be taken from todays football is that Killie dropped two points at home to Hearts, which keeps us in the running for 5th. We've got Dundee United away next, whilst Killie face Celtic, so I fully expect them to take nothing from the game, whilst we could realistically hope for a point at least. That would see us two points behind Killie by the time we meet at Fir Park. A win there sees us leapfrog them into 5th. Last game of the season sees us more than likely lose to Celtic, whilst Killie will likely lose to Rangers. 5th place cemented

Results like this happen every now & then, and don't really mean much in the grand scheme of things. We've got Dundee United away next, whilst Killie face Celtic, so I fully expect them to take nothing from the game, whilst we could realistically hope for a point at least. That would see us two points behind Killie by the time we meet at Fir Park. A win there sees us leapfrog them into 5th.

I don't think there'll be any in place for Monday.

I would certainly hope so. Not sure what time the ticket office opens at right enough. I'd guess around 9ish.

I'm not quite sure if it's the same now, but when I had a season ticket for the east a few years back I would tend to sit with my mates during games that didn't involve the Old Firm, which meant pretty much wherever suited on the day. Two of us had season tickets then, and if it was only the two of us we would sit in our allocated seats, and if more mates were there then we'd sit wherever. Sometimes we'd even switch ends at half time to follow where Motherwell were shooting.

Any idea of the opening times? 9am I'm presuming?

There's already a thread discussing buses.

It's pretty self-explanatory really; If you have over 50 posts and registered with the forum before December 2010 then PM a mod or admin for the password and see for yourself.

I hope one of those cats isn't my Rangers supporting namesake, is it?

I doubt anyone who wasn't getting a season ticket for next season in the first place will have their minds changed by this. What it may do though, is encourage those who were seriously thinking about it (me for example) to buy one this week. Just for the record, I'm taking an extra two tickets. One to the left of me for sitting my jacket on, and one to the right for sitting my over-priced cola & chips on

There's a simple solution to anyone wanting to get a ticket. Go down to the ticket office on Monday and buy a season ticket if you don't have one already.

A win or draw against Rangers will go towards helping us in two ways. Obviously it'll provide points in the campaign to climb up the league table, but it'll also help to take Rangers out of the title race which will ensure that we see European action next season regardless of the cup final result.

Nah, I doubt there'll be many people that desperate to see the cup final that they'll pay another few hundred quid for a season ticket on Monday.

According to the club season tickets for next season go on sale this Monday, at the same time as the cup final tickets which means you'll be abel to pick up your new season ticket allong with your allocation of 4 cup final tickets.

In the middle of cup final fever it's easy to forget that we still have a handful of league games left, including the visit of the blue bigot brothers this Saturday. Now, putting the boot into the Old Firm's title hopes is always something that I enjoy, even if I do just want the season to end so we can get to cup final day! I'm going to go with a draw for this one. I can see us getting a goal or two, and Rangers doing the same.

Aye, four tickets could cost over a hundred notes, and I doubt every season ticket holder will be willing to shell that out, or have three mates who are wanting to do so. If the club go down the route of a general sale instead of a ballot I think everyone will be fine.

How is this ballot shite going to work though? If you have to get a ticket via a draw then you'll likely not be sitting next to your mates etc. What's wrong with general sale after the season ticket sales?
