1ANDYP Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Ok I bow to your greater knowledge. Astounding that so many would not buy a ticket for the biggest game in years. Edited July 13, 2015 by 1ANDYP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radian_13 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 you can't increase it too much, some tickets would still have to left to be left for public sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they don't want to have public sales for these matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radian_13 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Must be some legal issue to stop them doing it otherwise people would be forced to have to pay the ssc fee to join just to get a ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltedsteamer147 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Must be some legal issue to stop them doing it otherwise people would be forced to have to pay the ssc fee to join just to get a ticket I'm not sure if there's a legal issue or not but as far as I'm aware there has been a public sale for every home game. The only reason people are getting their knickers in a twist this time is because of the number of Poles living in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernscum Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 This will be an immense atmosphere if we get the 3 points in Tiblisi and getting anything from the Germany game would be a bonus. If we limit the Polish uptake of tickets it can only help our chances of making it a winner takes all for 2nd spot. Just secured my North stand ticket due to the re-release to SSC members.

blackcountry jock Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 For once think the sfa have done the right thing but don't for one minute it's for the fans benefit they know a fair few missed the deadline so as a sweetener they have done is a favour in their eyes but it only because they know they will get more cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radian_13 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Aye, go call the police. Police about what? Even if it was a legal issue the fact they had limited it meant they wouldn't have broken the law smartarse....Ah your cute with your emoticons though!! Doesn't concern me i've got my ticket was just maybe a reason why they do limit the numbers. Edited July 13, 2015 by radian_13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanpar Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 The SFA can choose to sell the tickets to whoever they want. They could decide to sell none if they wanted. Even if there were 50000 SSC members the chances of selling out Hampden regularly to them is next to none. It is only extreme cases like Poland where they are against a public sale. As I said above if 1/3 of the SSC members don't fancy going to a game that potentially could see us qualify for the first time in almost 20 years then I don't think we need to worry too much about other games not been available to the public.

There are thousands of Scots who are not SSC members who are waiting to buy tickets for both of these games and they will get their chance. It's just a matter of how many tickets will be available for the public sale. Even if they open the sale up to members who have already bought a ticket I think there will still be a public sale. There are folk on here that seem to think the 20 odd thousand members who have already bought a ticket are all sitting about waiting anxiously to buy another ticket which I just don't think is true. The fact is that most members already go to games with their mates who support Scotland. I offered a few mates the chance of my additional tickets last Friday and none of them were interested. Not 2-3 months before the matches anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but disagree I've loads of guys at me for both games, as I've said 3 times now on here I've spoken over the phone direct to the ssc office and they said immediately there will not be a public sale!!!!! Maybe I'm talkin a different language to some on here, I give up.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone I know who has spoken to them has been told that the process for the public sale hasn't been decided on yet. There was also a tweet today which was along the same lines. The tweet also said the FINAL members sale would end on Friday. How can they possibly know if there's going to be a public sale or not until the tickets are sold out?

ChrisPro Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 What are the chances of the SFA offering non season ticket members a stab at an extra ticket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltedsteamer147 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 What are the chances of the SFA offering non season ticket members a stab at an extra ticket? It's looking likely according to what people are saying. If they don't open it up to members who have already bought a ticket then you'll have a chance in the public sale.

scottincarlisle Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I would say there'll be a public sale for Germany but the SFA will 'ensure' there won't be one for Poland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think they'll do everything they can to prevent one for the Poland game but they won't have much of a choice if there are tickets left after all of their jiggery pokery.

McVinceSCT Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Good decision by the SFA for (the few) people who had missed the SSC sale period. But how many more will they sell? 100? 200? Does somebody know the exact amount of tickets sold for each game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimstroma Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I can see them doing a 2 match package similar to what the FAI done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doric Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 It's a no brainer. The SSC have to decide if they want the stadium full of Scots against Poland or open to a public sale and allow the Poles getting a few thousand extra fans in . If they go for the public sale then it will be another school boy error from the SSC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to me like they are doing as much as they can to avoid a public sale and hopefully they announce that all members will have the chance of extra tickets after Friday.
