Season ticket and social bubble update

Saturday 22nd August, 2020 at 1:34pm

Following the Scottish Government’s announcement this week that supporters may be able to return to stadiums from mid-September, preparations continue to ensure that we can welcome fans as soon as it is safe and permitted to do so. We will have regular discussions with the SPFL and Scottish FA to finalise entry arrangements as quickly as possible, so that we can prepare for the safe return of Thistle supporters into Firhill.

In line with this latest government update we continue to work on all season ticket, social bubble and spectator arrangements for season 2020/21, alongside our ticketing partner. These remain provisional plans on the basis that we become able to admit some supporters to Firhill for restricted attendance matches.

Ahead of the imminent relaunch of season tickets for 2020/21, we ask supporters to note the following update as per the category they fall within:

• Existing 2020/21 season ticket holders – All 2020/21 season ticket holders who have requested a social bubble will receive an update between Monday 31st August and Friday 4th September. Any season ticket holders with social bubble requests who have yet to contact the club with their request are asked to do so as soon as possible by emailing  
• Season 2019/20 season ticket holders yet to renew for season 2020/21 – When season tickets are relaunched, you will be offered the opportunity to apply for a renewal of your ticket for your current seat. You will also be invited to submit your social bubble requests at this time.
• All other fans (eg. who were not 2019/20 season ticket holders, but are interested in buying a 2020/21 season ticket) – When season tickets are relaunched, you will be able to apply for an available seat. You will also be invited to submit your social bubble requests at this time.

 

It should be noted that in the event of restricted attendance matches, all season ticket holders may require to change seat to enable the club to accommodate all social bubbles at appropriate distances. It is the club’s intention to make any such changes minimal in distance.

The club has now received more than 100 individual requests for social bubbles. If you have not yet received a response to your email, we would appreciate your patience. At present, we have one colleague working through the social bubble requests, as well as performing a number of other duties on a daily basis.

Season ticket holders who are registered at the same address will be automatically entered into a social bubble. If you haven’t checked your details yet, we would encourage all Thistle fans to do so as quickly as possible.

Season ticket holders intending to attend games on their own are not required to do anything.

Information about the streaming of home matches, which will be available for supporters up until the point that Firhill is fully open again, will follow in September after the season ticket relaunch.

Thank you for your ongoing support.
