Poor show from the club promoting this knowing the games are about to be behind closed doors.
Tweet has now been deleted by the club too. Rumbled

It`s horrendous, bordering on slanderous, to put that on a public forum when you have no evidence that there`s any truth in it whatsoever.
Any excuse to put the boot into a club.

Seems stupid to launch a marketing push for fans to buy tickets just 2 hours before a FM announcement. Wales announced they’d gone behind closed doors at the weekend. Whilst the club wouldn’t have known the rulings it’s a bit of an own goal not to wait until after she’d spoken.

I`m fairly certain the only ones viewing it as an "own goal" or worse are just waiting for something to get in a state about.
There is really nothing to see here.

I`ve got pals who work in the Scottish Government and Public Health Scotland. I can guarantee you football clubs were not given advance notice.
The only people given notice are the likes of schools and even then it`s on the basis of "could" happen rather than "will" happen.

Agree, probably needs to be deleted.
Nobody saw this ridiculous decision coming, and the idea that the Scottish Government would give a heads up to football clubs is for the birds (exception to PARrot!)
Now the club`s have to scramble around to try and salvage something from this.

It WAS deleted. The issue here is people on social media claiming the Pars had prior knowledge. I wouldn`t be surprised if it was a scheduled tweet. If the club did predict this happening then I`m going to be asking them for the Euro Millions numbers.

My auld mans tuppensworth for what its worth ... I think the op posted what he saw and heard at the time without thinking it through .. There is no way DAFC would try and cheat their fans by cajoling them to buy tickets knowing in advance the new covid restrictions
However what I do find distasteful is that certain posters who disagree with the op`s opinion can call the op`s mental heath into question .. that is where Admin should/need to step in and either delete the thread or ban the said poster ..

The idea of the message from the club was for fans to buy tickets online rather than cause queues in the ticket offices, a reaction to advice we all knew about from the government, for retail outlets to take action to avoid crowding in shops etc. Why would anyone think that it was a ploy to cheat the fans? If they are unable to attend the money would be refunded anyway.
Sometimes if you don`t have anything positive to say, it`s better not to say anything.

Add to that the fact that selling tickets that then have to be refunded will actually cost the club money in interchange and fees make this a really poor scam. Some folk are just not very bright.

Sounds like likely me who is wrong. What I was told is they get told of what may happen rather than what will happen. So, for example, all the schools will be getting parents ready for video classes just in case of a lockdown. That`s not the same as saying there will be a lockdown and video classes will be needed.

It’s possible that hospitality venues got advance notice and football clubs didn’t. We don’t seem to be the only club claiming that there was no advance notice/warning about this. Given the SFA/clubs previously were given advance notice, they perhaps then assumed that this meant this level of restrictions were unlikely, so started to plan ahead.
I certainly don’t believe for a second that the club would try and shaft fans, as has been suggested on this thread. At the time they put the tweet/article up, the latest government advice was to try and limit large crowds etc and therefore, buying in advance/online would avoid unnecessary long queues. The tweet/article also advised that 50/50 sales were online only, to limit social contact in/around the ground. The tweet/article seemed like a genuine attempt to try and limit queues/physical interactions with people at the stadium.

The club uses tweet deck a scheduling tool. Firmly suspect that they would have put that in place some time ago and forgotten about it.
Wouldn’t surprise me if the “heads up” given was informal and only a couple of hours before the decision being comm’d out such is the current situation.
Folk need to calm down and think before posting right now. Tough times for the club.
