  1. A bit of common sense would be to bin collection for this match (unless requested by the SSC member). It's not a fixture for harvesters - if folk aren't going to to go to a fixture like this then what the hell are they harvesting for?

    Edit: Mind you, I see a single on a non-ICE train from Duesseldorf to Dortmund is only £14.50, so in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter much.

    There's someone on one of the other threads saying he has a spare ticket as his "mate" can't make it anymore.

  2. Well i think its diabolical that the ssc cant let people check in at pick up point and send tickets out.So no we dont need pick up points in cities all over germany just send tickets out then random check in at dortmund.

    Who the fecks goin to harvest a point for this game anyway.

    I just think the ssc could use a bit of common sense and help their members save a bit money.

    Again,it's not the ssc's fault that people choose to stay in a city that the game isn't hosted in.

  3. You don't get it. I wasn't chosen to pick up. I tried to buy a ticket and ask they post it to me, they refused, i asked if I could pick it up and they refused, their perogative i suppose but not very helpful. If i was chosen to pick up in a ballot that would be a different matter.

    The whole pick up system is a waste of time in any case as it has no impact on harvesting. Note the Scotland end tickets being sold on this message board. If someone buys a ticket to harvest and is then asked to pick up all he or she has to do is contact the SSC to say they can no longer travel for whatever reason. That's why they had tickets when i called today. If you aren't harvesting and asked to pick up it's an inconveniece, not a major one in most cases. It might actually generate a wee bit a revenue as returned tickets aren't refunded so are sold twice, helps pay for the staff trips I suppose.

    They should forget it or maybe try 100% pick up.

    No,you don't get it,the game is in one city,you are staying in another.

    They asked you to pick up,you refused.

    That's your choice.

    Why should they bend over and let everyone choose where and when they get their tickets from?

    The free travel had nothing to do with them,I know a couple of 9 pointers that have to collect,it doesn't help their plans,but there's plenty varied times in Dortmund to get them,so if you don't like the rules,don't join,end of.

    Edit to add:

    As to your point that they wouldn't send it out,I agree with that,I stay in Aberdeen,I have no intentions of travelling to the game,what's to say that I couldn't call up 3 days before the game,say my circumstances have changed and can now make the game,offer to pay for special delivery,have it next day,take the point,then not bother going?

    That's the whole idea of the system,it works,get over it.

  4. Is that legal ??

    Apparently so. Mycousin was in Munich a few weeks ago and they wouldn't accept any of his foreign euros.

    He had to travel back through to holland to exchange everything all over again into german ones.

    Bloody nazis!!!!!!
