  1. They introduced another Category called Prime which are Eur 400 per group game and Eur 900 for opener
  2. Ross, it is one of the perks of living abroad - always have to collect in host city. Can be a right pain but suppose this time it shouldn't be too much of an issue :-). Did you get a ticket
  3. Duncan, I have tickets in French end and can only download the tickets from 10 October onwards according to confirmation email I received from FF. So contact the seller tomorrow and hopefully tickets are available. Good luck
  4. Perfect, right where my rental apartment is - not far to wander home
  5. As I have a foreign address I have to pick up for every game. Last time in Cyprus there was actually 2 pick ups at the stadium - one for the official SFA allocation for those chosen to pick up and a bigger queue for those who Davy Provan ( buses) had bought tickets for.
  6. I was through Schipol this week and noticed most Oslo flights leave from B terminal gates. UK flights tend to arrive in D Terminal gates - there is a security control and passport check between B and D terminal gates. Hopefully you do not have any issues
  7. Pot 1 is made up of the prior years winners, the winner of the prior year Europa League and the Champions of the top 6 ranked nations. As Real Madrid were Champions League and national title winners, then the Champions of the 7th ranked nation, the Netherlands, and therefore Ajax were put into pot 1. But the point you made about about the CL destroying domestic league competitions is so true. Although I have been an Ajax season ticket holder for nearly 20 years now, I find the gap between Ajax and the other teams in the league barring PSV has become so large it's unbelievable and affects enjoyment of watching games. Through a combination of CL money, a very very smart marketing department and great transfer policy, Ajax's turnover is now bigger than PSV and Feyenoord combined and bigger than the 3rd placed teams and every other club below them combined. That's not healthy for any league
  8. hi, a number of Scottish friends lived there and used to go to the following 2 places to watch football regularly https://wirstromspub.se/ https://www.olivertwist.se/
  9. Sorted now - the pdf file attached to email had all details for each person. The file I downloaded on website when purchased didn't.
  10. does each ticket have owners name on it - for some reason only my ticket and 1 other have personal name on them - other 4 have my email address. I did fill in all sections tho - strange
  11. Tickets aren't on sale yet in Moldova according to their website. Probably will go on sale after the next Government announcement re covid restrictions. Late ticket sale is not a bad thing as that probably means tickets will be issued by email in a pdf format rather than physical tickets being sent out. And tickets will probably go on sale via this website https://mticket.md/ro
  12. quick response from SFA to say 'I doubt we would conduct a sale if the majority of the members of the SSC were not allowed to travel. If the UK is still on the red list for Denmark then we probably wouldn’t receive an allocation from the Danish FA.'
  13. Good point - I have emailed the SSC to make this point known - it might be worth asking other foreign based supporters who are free to travel to do the same then that way they are aware of our situation
  14. Although living in Netherlands I am sceptical about attending the game. All UK bar Wales is on Denmark red list as you rightly say. And therefore football not valid reason for travelling. I cannot see SFA accepting any tickets whilst red list continues. And with England opening up on Monday and Scotland to a certain extent the same day I can't see infection rates dropping if the Dutch example is anything to go by. Daily Infection rates here have increased 20 fold in 3 weeks and we were starting off at far lower point than UK. So likelihood of Scotland dropping from Danish Red list is slim. I am allowed to travel from Netherlands into Denmark without quarantining but can't see SFA accepting any tickets. Best option for me is to buy home end tickets but even that is a problem as you have to have a membership and also it looks like being limited capacity as well. See link https://www.fordanmark.dk/herrelandsholdet/parken/
  15. It was the same for Oranje Supporters Club - they had to buy tickets via UEFA portal. We will be the same as everyone else. Their is a part on registration at UEFA ticket portal where you have to put your membership number of any national supporters club. Also payment for tickets is direct to UEFA who will be issuing the tickets with our name on them. So there will be next to no chance UEFA will deviate from this procedure
  16. That seems to be the initial indications from news reports. A lot of discussion going on in Ajax related forums etc about how the clubs will manage this. Both clubs have in excess of 45,000 season ticket holders so will it be a case of opting to attend certain games or a ballot etc. Overmars at Ajax has indicated that he wants all the "big games" such at the games between Ajax, PSV and Feyenoord to be played in 2nd half of season with hopefully full capacity. This raises questions re the 3 Scotland home games in October if a crowd is allowed - will tickets be allocated on the existing points system etc
  17. Not yet confirmed - tonight the Dutch PM will make announcement re large gatherings including crowds at football matches. All indications are that spectators will be allowed into matches but with social distancing in place and no chanting allowed at matches 😂 The Eredivisie is due to start September 11 so this will probably be the first large scale crowd at a match in Netherlands since the outbreak. There was a report yesterday that the owners of the Amsterdam ArenA in conjunction with various other organisations like museums etc are planning to do some analysis into how best to allow larger crowds into events without affecting public health.
  18. Pubs here in Netherlands opened on June 1st and apart from the first day they are still very quiet. Didn't help that it rained quite heavily for days afterwards. But you are right about social distancing part. Here the outside terraces have to have tables about 2 metres apart and table service only. For a number of terraces you have to book online to reserve a table. And all sort of regulations if you live in same house etc. For the inside part, a maximum of 30 people are allowed inside and social distancing to be maintained. It looks very strange as the actual bars have a perspex screen round them and customers are sitting at bar 5 feet apart facing the screen. Very few bars are busy from what I see. Customers are staying away in droves whether still scared of catching the virus or maybe enjoying drinking at home as it's cheaper or whatever. I was reading that some bars have closed again as social distancing has meant it wasn't worth reopening financially at moment. It's definitely good bars have reopened but it is certainly not the same experience it was before. It will take a long time if ever that pubs will be back to what they were before the pandemic.
  19. Been an Ajax season card holder on and off for last 17 years and sadly for last 10 years the Feyenoord v Ajax has lost it's shine for me as no away fans allowed. My first ever Ajax game over here was v Feyenoord in 2003 when Van Der Vaart scored with outrageous overhead back heeler. Atmosphere before game was plain crazy with fans trying to get at each other through riot police cordon. Sadly those days are no longer
  20. Are you sure this is correct as the UEFA brochure shows following as allocations Quotas 2016 2020 General public 42% 50% (1.5m tickets) Participating National Associations (PNAs) 32% 32%* Commercial partners (sponsors and broadcasters) 13% 9%* Official Hospitality 6% 4%* UEFA football family and corporate social resp. 4% 1%* Host country/countries and host cities 2% 3%* VIP guests 1% 1%* Comparison of ticket allocations for EURO 2016 and EURO 2020 I read this as being 32% for the teams competing in a game which is 16% each and SFA will also get 3% as being the host country irrespective of who plays at Hampden
  21. Don't know if this has appeared in Scottish media at all but this appeared in Dutch news today http://nltimes.nl/2017/07/12/isis-calls-terrorist-attack-ec-womens-football-match-utrecht
  22. 4 seats required here - about to paypal and mail you
  23. Fischer was rated a couple of seasons back but suffered a bad injury 2 seasons ago and he was out for over a year. Just finding his way back into the team but looks to have lost some of his sharpness. Whether he will ever fulfill his potential is a matter of time
  24. I don't care about teams who didn't qualify for Europa League but if you honestly think Ajax are a quality side then you are welcome to your opinion. As an Ajax fan I will disagree. And yes, neither is a top side. If they were they would have beat decidedly average teams in the Champions League qualifiers and been playing the last 2 nights instead of tonight in this competition
  25. As an Ajax season ticket holder of 10 years plus I will agree with Rossy in this case, the current Ajax team are utter pish. I can't find one Ajax fan who says otherwise. At least in the past there was a few players you can imagine playing at a much higher level, this current Ajax side I can see maybe one or two at most. Good point for Celtic but don't be deluded that you are playing a top side. You werent and neither side is and that's why both are playing in the Europa League.
