I had the guidance last night and reviewed it in detail, but it wasn’t that easy when. A. You’ve been in a waiting room for 40 minutes. B. You’re trying to buy 9 tickets! C. You’ve already had 10 goes to choose seats and every time you’ve attempted to add to cart, it says no longer available! D. You’ve also got the potential your payment may fail (history of that previously) E. loads of folk posting they’ve still got the black line of doom and at least 30 mins from getting into ticket site.Had tickets in basket so bought with alternatives being reduced by the second, then hope the SFA see that the system is slightly more complicated for a first time user (under pressure)than for those in their office who have been beta testing for 3 months at their leisure!!

It shouldn’t be that complicated!!’

There’s a lot of luck involved in this process now!! Old system was a bit cheatable!

Once I eventually get in probably still got the failed payment frustration to still go through!! lol

Mine had gone from black line only to add a countdown timer!! Lol

Well this has been easy so far! Sitting watching a black line going across at 1cm every 5 minutes!! lol

Most major ticketing sites have a wait room. It means once your in less likely for transaction to fail which is even more annoying than waiting in a queue!

Based on these prices it’s a fair price!!

You are correct, but validating is the final process, if you have a UEFA non SSC bought ticket you firstly transfer it to another person. They then arrive at the ground and go through the validation purpose, for themselves using their own App and individual Logon.

We have used Revolut for a good number of years now. Download app and order a card for free. Good conversion rates. £150 a month free cash withdrawals and £1,000 a month free debit card type transactions for each card year. Top up instantly when you need it from your main bank account, built in security to freeze card, turn on /off chip and pin and/or contactless through the app. Plus the split a bill function is fabulous! Once you pay a bill decide who you’ve to charge in your group and it will automatically split the bill equally to each of them! If someone drinking more slowly or god forbid eating. You just adjust for that person before sending. It then automatically recalculates the remaining balance equally! Their individual split bill is automatically forwarded to all in group that have been charged. They go in to App accept charge and credit immediately back to the charger! It’s been great for our group.

I’m not as convinced. Whilst I agree that the timeframe is tight. I can’t see us not easily selling 6,000 tickets for the next round. There are so many ways to get to Germany, air, rail and road make it easily accessible. Secondly school holidays will have started so potentially that group and other folk who couldn’t go to the first phase might go for a one off experience. Another factor which could affect it could be the opponents, if eg as could happen we get England in the 1/4 finals you’ld sell 20,000+ tix. Let’s hope we find out!!!! 🤞

On a more serious note both Holland and Gibraltar will have a big impact on any getting tickets for any further games that we qualify for in Germany. Mainly because the ticket allocation falls by a fair way for the next phase of games to 6,000 last 16, again 6,000 1/4 final, then up to 7,000 semi final and finally back to 10,000 for the final. I would imagine that the next 2 games will be 100% individual person pick up!!

Will they! They should be but will the points be added!! Mmmm

Yes I think that would be fine to change. Re contacting them. It can be a bit of a faff but you can beat the system by confusing the virtual chatbot. When you are going through the chatbot questions either do not answer or ignore them or where they make it compulsory to put something in just put a random letter in. As they haven’t got any answers to your query it will fairly quickly move you in to the queue to speak to an online agent rather than a virtual one.

I’d keep the other flight just in case it changes again or there’s a crazy delay.

If they agree to change the Cologne flight to the earlier one I personally would considering ditching the other flight. I’m assuming you’re flying back to Scotland that day from Stansted. If so there are some not too bad basic fare prices, eg lunchtime to Edinburgh for £26 with Ryanair and £34.99 with EasyJet back of 3 to Glasgow.

You won’t be offered you’ll need to ask! They’ll just tell you of the amendment and you will need to go chasing the change.

Bit of a bummer but normal practice with Ryanair. Had this a few times where I’ve clocked the change before they officially tell you. You will get an email at some point soon advising you of it unfortunately. You should be able to change to the earlier flight in the day if you contact through their live chat it’s a bit early in the morning that one mind you.

Although staying locally always look for a wee overnight in Glasgow as part of a home game! Unfortunately must be quite a few other things ongoing that night in the area as being quoted minimum of £150 and much much higher per 2 person room for one night. Shame for those that do need to travel from further afield!

Looks like plenty of availability as well!

I’ve just checked on the DB app and on the 16th to Cologne from Munich there really is nothing under 50€ available that day now even in 2nd class unless you’re going before breakfast or arriving after midnight! It will be interesting to see what’s available once the Euro tickets are available! There are spaces on trains so would like to think that some cheaper tickets will be allocated to these trains! Perhaps they may have the ability to limit them to a certain number per train.

Perhaps we should just skip the preliminary 3 warm up games and just have booked for the business end of the tournament!

Easy for the fans as ever!! Lol

Wasn’t a dig! Just didn’t want anyone diving in. Lol
