Buying a ticket, step by step

When tickets go on sale: Tickets go on sale a week or two before home games; the club posts links on its news page.

Membership: None needed for single tickets. It gets you in before general sale, but you don't need it.

  1. Open perthstjohnstonefc.co.uk and read the news post for the home game.
  2. Follow the buy-tickets link in the post, which opens the club's online ticket sales.
  3. Create an account with your name and email and log in.
  4. Select the match and choose a stand; the Ormond Stand sits behind the goal and the North Stand has a family area.
  5. Pay by card and save the e-ticket to your phone.
  6. If the online page is closed, call the McDiarmid Park ticket office; the number is on the club site.
