Div Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I've no issue at all with how the tickets are being allocated. Possibly what they could have done is introduce one more tier in the sale, perhaps 20+ points on day 1, then 12+ points day 2, then drop by a point each day after that but I think suggesting releases dropping a point every hour is far too complex an idea for an association that couldn't even get the dates of the games right never mind email the codes to the correct people. The big issue here is the price of the tickets and for the opening game they are a fucking disgrace. That isn't the SFA's fault and it's the ticket prices that is causing the issue for the 12+ pointers who at the end of the day are all guaranteed a ticket (rightly) but who (again rightly) aren't overjoyed at the prospect of shelling out 400 or 600 Euros for a single ticket. The 2nd and 3rd matchdays aren't quite as bad IMO. Expensive yes, but not the eye watering numbers of MD1. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 There are 10k tickets. the first sales tier there are what 7.5K members? There is no need for an additional tier to allow the self entitled "elite"members access to the cheap tickets. I say this as a guy who would pay for the dear as f**k ones if needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggested that about 5 hours ago. 5 hours ago, Skyline Drifter said: Its an irrelevance to me too but I dont think the point is entirely unreasonable. I do understand staggering the sale for those above 12 is time consuming and more complex but in practice its just an extension of what they are already doing. Even if they'd maybe had 2 tiers, one for say 16+ points and one for 12-16? I do agree that the scandalous uplift in prices for the opening game is the cause of all this stramash. However, as much as that isn't the SFA's fault, I'm damned certain they knew the prices before they designed and announced the system so they could, and probably should, have considered that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomo Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Did anyone else not get either of the emails this afternoon about the rescheduled sale tomorrow? I usually get all the marketing emails and got the access codes today but now I’m worried because I didn’t get those. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing that confuses me is why are the sales being launched during the day midweek when many people have jobs that don't allow them access to attempt to but tickets. I'm not sure when would be the ideal time but possibly a Saturday morning or an evening? My mate went to both of those friendlies and is a 12 pointer as a result. However between travel and beer he spent the thick end of £1600. So if I end up getting a stubhub ticket for the Switzerland game at 300 euro who is the winner? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he has more chance of getting a ticket for the final when we pump England. Swings and roundabouts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Anyone know the script about transferring tickets? I am aiming to attend all three but work may only permit me to go to one. Can I move them to someone else later? No points issued so no harvesting risk. Uefa indicate that you can transfer if unable to attend but also say tickets are subject to association rules which usually doesn't permit transferring? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SFA tickets are definitely unable to be transferred, I believe they all download onto you phone via your SSC /UEFA account. If you're giving a ticket to someone that you know, it might be possible to download them to a spare phone that you can share. Don't take that as gospel though!
