Yesterday afternoon we attended an Operations Meeting at Livingston with respect to the Ramsdens Cup Final and are now in a position to confirm more detail regarding the match.

We have been given an initial allocation of over 3,000 tickets to sell. These tickets are in the Main (West) Stand and the South Stand. However, there is an additional allocation potentially available to us if we are able to demonstrate a need for it. As previously advised, ticket prices are £15 adults and £5 concessions (over 65, under 16 and students) in the Main Stand. The adult price will drop to £14 once we start selling in the South Stand behind the goal but we are required to sell the Main Stand tickets first for segregation purposes.

Tickets will go on sale from Sunday February 17^th. Season ticket holders can come along and purchase their tickets from 10am on production of Voucher 2 from their season ticket books. There will be no limit on the number of tickets each ticket holder can purchase.

Tickets will then go on General Sale from 1pm on the same day, again with no limit on purchases. Ticket sales will close at 4pm on the Sunday and thereafter remaining tickets will be sold from the Palmerston office between 9am and 3pm weekdays.

Telephone and Internet orders will be taken for those who cannot get to the club. As usual, tickets ordered by phone or online will be posted out using Guaranteed Next Day Delivery at a cost of £6 per order. There will be NO facility for later collection at Palmerston. Telephone sales will open at the same time as personal sales on the Sunday. We will make tickets available to order on the internet ahead of time but orders will not be processed by staff until initial queues of personal callers are cleared.

A small number of wheelchair and carer passes and ambulant disabled passes are also available for the match. Please get in touch with the club direct if you wish to apply for these.

We are happy to hear from organisers of buses who wish to book and pay for groups of tickets together, though such orders will not be dealt with ahead of initial queues on the opening Sunday and we cannot necessarily guarantee that tickets for bus groups will therefore be in the Main Stand.

Whether purchasing tickets as a group or not, we would be grateful to hear from anyone organising a bus for the event as the SFL has asked us to help them estimate the number of buses that will be going to Livingston. Queen of the South Supporters buses will park at a nearby college a five minute walk away and bus passes will be issued free of charge by the SFL for this purpose. Directions and required travel routes will be advised nearer to the event.

Finally, Lothian & Borders Police and the SFL have asked us to remind fans of the following information:

• No public drinking is allowed in Lothian and offenders will be dealt with accordingly.

• Flares are not allowed within the stadium and the police FOCUS group will be attending the match and will deal with offenders seriously.

• Small flags on canes WILL be allowed in the stadium.

• Large flags will be allowed in the stadium only if they have an appropriate certificate that they are made of fire retardant material.
