How is the experience? I always go alone in north stand upper, it’s fine as everyone is there to watch the game, no one cares or will say anything bad, if anything it shows you are a serious fan who is here to watch the game you don’t care what people think or optics! plus I often sing a lot and sometimes people next to me who aren’t season ticket holders will jump up and celebrate and are really happy to be there so they make conversation with you and really sing loud as they are so happy to be there 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just gone through my emails to double check and there was a confirmation email with the e-ticket attached right at the bottom of the email. There is the option to add it to Apple wallet or to just to show the qr code. Definitely check the email! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted August 25, 2023 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2023 My emailed tickets came through within seconds of me completing my purchase - @Creeper I think it's probably worth calling the ticket office if yours aren't with you by now. The ticket sales for this game are strange - it's been sold out twice, there have been a hundred or so available, then next to none, then a hundred or so, then next to none and there are currently a couple of hundred for sale (including some really good ones in the lower trinity). Ticket sales seem to be a bit of a mess this season. Oh, and they've had to give the Terrace View it's own option on the ticket website in their desperate attempts to sell it out - just £96.00 if you're keen. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creeper Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Cheers guys. It's my dads email so I'll ask him when I see him tomorrow. If not i'll get onto ticket sales. Thanks again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Looks sold out for "normal seats" but circa 500 seats seem to be available for the Terrace View at a bargain price of £96 each for adults. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About two dozen or so returned tickets showing again, cancelled because they were bought by Hibs fans when it mistakenly went on general sale for five minutes maybe?

alreadyexists Posted August 30, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 30, 2023 Still lots of tickets… mainly just odd ones though, I would go if I could find a two, but I’ll probably just leave it this time given it’s a bit of a dead rubber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattAvfc92 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Random question, I bought two tickets for tomorrow for me and one for my mate, he can’t go now but my missus is going instead. (Yes i know honestly she’s a keeper!) is it going to matter that her name isn’t on the ticket? I don’t fancy driving 3.5 hours there for her to be turned away because her names not Adam it doesn’t say anything on the Apple wallet ticket about a name.. but on the physical ticket it does. sorry to be a pain… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, might ring just to be safe but honestly if it’s not going to be a problem might just leave it and hope she doesn’t get checked… I don’t get to go very often so I’ll take any games I can get to go to!

As long as both adults should be OK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted August 30, 2023 Moderator Share Posted August 30, 2023 @MattAvfc92 In principle, if the person on the ticket isn't the person that is registered as having the ticket on the club's ticketing system, then you, as the person supplying them with that ticket will be subject to punishment from the club which would restrict your ability to buy further tickets. The club ask that when you do pass a ticket on to a family member you contact them and let them know, they'll then issue a new ticket in the name of the person who will actually attend. In practice, the club aren't very good at that, it's not something you can do online, you'll need to contact the club by phone and talk through it with someone, which can sometimes mean a wait during peak ticketing hours and then there have been a number of instances where the new ticket has not arrived by matchday and people have had to queue up at the ticket office before kick off to collect it (I'd hope that would now be fixed by the e-ticket though.) it's the kind of thing that you should be able to do by self service on the website in a few seconds with no need for a new ticket - that technology isn't there yet. At the moment, in so far as I can see, the club very rarely checks people on tickets, if at all, and have concentrated on deciding and issuing the draconian punishment list rather than making the process easier or enforcing it. It'd be a miracle if you got caught swapping this ticket, a lightning strike, a lottery win, an absolute freak occurrence - but if you do, then you'll get a one month ban, as per the below which were issued this week: https://www.avfc.co.uk/news/2023/august/29/ticketing-regulations-for-2023-24/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
