Accies World

1st game - wee trip to Kirkcaldy - very handy for me as I'm in Edinburgh that's a 30 min train trip - I wonder if it will be PATG if the guidelines improve

Just checked the Raith Rovers website - no decision made yet on PATG prices

Has it been clarified that away fans will be allowed in?

A guy can fly in from the Czech rep to hampden but I can't go 8 miles over to Albion rovers, couldn't make this up

I've been told by Accies that there won't be PATG next season!

So its just going to be about 100 season ticket holders then. Just as well the club is not skint and needs the money

if the club is saying that a season ticket is the only way to see a match then that is a ridiculous strategy as folk may not have a pile of money available but can afford £20 odd quid to see a match occasionally

Is this true ??
Then HAFC can fuck off ....
I have followed HAFC for nearly 40 years and have never owned a season book ... so that means I can’t go this season ??

Fuck right off .....

Edit - my brother is in the same boat .. as are my two adult sons ... so that’s 4 folk that won’t be allowed to follow their team this season ... very , very disappointing...

I've sent an email to Gillian at the club for clarification on this

I also heard if you buy the 'cheap' season ticket option then you'll be in the away stand.

If you have the corporate option you'll be in the main stand which will be for press, players etc, no dross.

See if someone can clarify that as well.

An update from the club saying in response to suggestions from the new Supporters’ Association they are offering a 10 home match package ticket. No mention re PATG though.

That can't be right. Wherebdomthenaway supporters go then. The tent on the Far Side?

Like many others, I've had the same seats in the main stand since it opened and we returned after the wilderness years.

Sean to check this out, please.

There is a suggestion that some clubs in the Championship will not have PATG in the sense that cash won’t be accepted. Ayr apparently for the last 2 seasons haven’t had this but you can order a match day ticket on line or get one in the shop on match day. Arbroath are moving to an online match day ticket purchase system if you decide to attend last minute and are not a season ticket holder. I would imagine that an online ticket system would allow away fans to order tickets and it means the club can can control numbers allocated while they are still subject to crowd limits. However this is Accies and as it took over 10 years to get a debit card reader installed then setting up an on line ticketing system might be in the too hard to handle category. Mind you the system for the PPV works ok so it shouldn’t be difficult to set up up a ticket printing system surely. Calm down everyone and let’s see what happens this week.

Gillian has now replied by to me as follows:

At the moment there won't be any cash gates available. When fans are permitted to return they will only be able to gain access via a season ticket or pre-paid ticket.

We have put another offer on as requested by fans Rob where you can purchase a ticket for £150 which would give you access to 10 games and you can choose the 10 games that you would like to attend.

This is all subject to change as we await any guidance from the Scottish Government.

I hope this information helps.

Kind Regards

Gillian

Why is it so hard to get an answer to a simple question!

How much will it cost to attend a single home match next season?

Other clubs manage it - why can't we?

Ayr United: Season Tickets - Adult - £260 Gate Prices - Adult - £18
Dunfermline: Season Tickets - Adult - £305 Gate Prices - Adult - £20

etc

I know it will cost me £20 to watch Accies at Dunfermline, but no idea of the cost at home!!

Link to the Arbroath Fc site and-an article about their new electronic ticketing system. Initially for season tickets but eventually for match day tickets. Doing it in conjunction with a ticketing agency. All e tickets with scanners at the turnstiles. Now if Arbroath can do this then surely……. Oh just forget it.

Raith Rovers played their first home friendly yesterday and had 600 fans in. I assume home fans but can’t see any reason why Edinburgh City can’t allocate a couple of hundred tickets for Away fans. Nothing on their website re ticketing arrangements for this game.
