Ticketing for Disabled Supporters
Tickets can be purchased online through our Ticket Office.
Complimentary Personal Assistant (PA) tickets are available to eligible supporters (DLA, PIP, Attendance Allowance, AFIP, sight/hearing loss certification, or relevant medical letters).
Wheelchair platform tickets must be booked via the Ticket Office directly.
The club applies a pan-disability approach and may offer PA tickets at its discretion to supporters with other physical, mental, or mobility conditions.
For assistance, email ticketsales@perthsaints.co.uk or call 01738 459090 (option 1).
