St Johnstone have made some interesting announcements in their season ticket sales for next season.

Firstly, they bizarrely appear to have cut Aberdeen's ticket allocation, but increased the Old Firm and Hearts'.

Rangers and Celtic will now get three stands at McDairmid Park. Hearts will get both stands behind the goals. Aberdeen will get just one stand behind the goal (which will now be at the opposite end from where the away end normally is) with no allocation in the main stand anymore. They say it's to maximise revenue, but seems odd to potentially lock out Aberdeen fans who usually travel there in numbers, especially if we are doing well.

Another thing they've said is, similar to what Hearts do, is they'll be selling their worse seats for cheap and increasing the price of premium seats to compensate. It means 60% of their tickets season tickets will be cheaper. Meanwhile we still seem to think the RDU should be sold at "gold" prices, despite it being partially restricted view with the goal line often invisible from certain seats.

The sign of a real diddy club.

We should just not bother buying tickets for our games in Perth, but it won't happen. I'd say more chance of Aberdeen selling out two stands than the relegation specialists. 

Get them right back into the championship.

Is that built into the agreement with ST holders then? That they will only be moved for games against the three cheeks. 

Yeah. What used to be the away end will now be the family stand, but they don't include games v the Old Firm and Hearts. Likewise, all season tickets holders in the stand opposite the main stand have been told they'll be accommodated in the main stand when Rangers and Celtic are in town.

I wonder if it's a coincidence that it is being released on that date?

Half listening to off the ball yesterday but sure I heard Stuart Cosgrove mentioning something about some saints supporters not wanting to attend games against yon Tic and SEVCO due to their fan's behaviour and the authorities etc not caring.

Perhaps Hearts fans have taken some of the tar from that brush?

Can't remember the club - it may be St Johnstone - but apparently only 70% of their season ticket holders turn up v the Old Firm.

None at all.

Etched in the memory of all daddies and which he is very much a part of.

Thought they may have had the launch today too.
