  1. Your husband might have the cheaper tickets but you’ll have a better view at 2 of the games.
  2. Yeah fair point. It seemed easy to me because I got them and my 3 mates all got the same as me but I appreciate that others weren’t as lucky. We all had our codes in the field from 11:55 and clicked submit at 12 on the dot.
  3. It is possible because 2 bonus points are available. I agree with the rest of your points though. The SSC loyalty system is not designed to give people with high points first go at cheaper tickets. If it wasn’t for the huge discrepancy between the cheap tickets and expensive tickets nobody would be moaning about it. It wasn’t that difficult to get FF tickets today if you entered your code at 12:00 exactly. I got one easily enough for Munich and bought cat 3 tickets for the other 2 games as a choice (FF tickets were still available).
  4. I’m not sure it’s me that needs help. The BBC is showing 2 Scotland group games and 2 England group games. ITV is showing 1 Scotland group game and 1 England group game. I agree that the BBC is heavily biased in favour of England in general but you are seeing a problem here where there isn’t one.
  5. Do you not get ITV where you live or something?
  6. Everyone should have a secret wee Monzo pot (or something similar) their other half doesn’t know about for just such occasions.
  7. I’m pretty sure it tells you in the FAQs on the SFA website that the seat with option can’t be used for tickets from different categories but even if it doesn’t I would say it’s pretty obvious this is the case. I wouldn’t be too happy if I paid €600 for a ticket and someone who paid €50 was sitting beside me. Edit - I misread your post so I’m talking pish I think. I think you would have had to pay for each ticket individually to use the seat with option for certain games.
  8. The BBC can’t just choose which games they want to show. They are sharing the rights with ITV and have to come to an agreement with them. The game is on free to air so there is no issue here.
  9. There should be somewhere between 2200 and 2500 for each game left at least. Possibly a good bit more for Munich depending on how many 12+ pointers had the stomach to pay €400 for a ticket. I reckon will be no fans first tickets or cat 3 tickets left for any games and a small amount of cat 2 tickets will be available for folk that get in quick. Vast majority of remaining tickets will be cat 1 would be my guess.
  10. The BBC is showing our other 2 games. I’m not defending the BBC but not really sure what point you are trying to make. I’m sure the BBC would have loved to have shown the opening game but I’m not really sure how the broadcast agreement works.
  11. This post is a bit of a shambles. 😂 Sorry to hear of your problems though. Sounds frustrating.
  12. If you put all three tickets into your basket and paid for them all together you will have one order number. If you pay for the three tickets in three separate transactions (I’m not sure why anyone would do this but it is possible) you will have 3 order numbers.
  13. Are you using your phone or a laptop/pc? I couldn’t find anything when signed in on my phone (although admittedly I didn’t look very closely) but if you log in on a laptop there should be an Order History link under tickets on the right hand side.
  14. Nice one. The stress of the last couple of days has lifted and we can start looking forward to the games. At least you don’t need to worry about flights and the like.
  15. They have plenty of money to pay for a decent website/servers etc.
  16. That was easier than I feared. £145 for three tickets.
  17. Some people probably hoping UEFA have pressed the button early and they can swoop in a get their mitts on some cheap tickets.
  18. I could be wrong but from what I remember the last time you don’t get to see your tickets straight away. You need to download the ticket app and they become available at some point later but not the same day. It was 2 years ago right enough so I may be talking shite.
  19. The game will sell out though. The old saying of if you fill your ground you are not overcharging comes to mind although I obviously agree that the higher prices are ridiculous for a game of football. Unless everyone makes a stand and refuse to buy the more expensive tickets then UEFA and FIFA will continue to charge what they think they can get away with for tournament matches. There will always be people willing to pay through the nose to get to these games.
  20. That’s fair enough but you need to accept that people who manage to get to more games than you will get more loyalty points and will benefit from that.
  21. The SFA website can be manipulated like that I think but not sure the UEFA one can. I remember in the old days we used to change the last digit in the ticket sales phone number from 0 to 1 and you’d get through straight away instead of queueing for ages.
  22. We all have the same chance of getting the cheaper tickets (if you have at least 12 points) which is fair enough. My post was just a Blackadder joke though. I wasn’t suggesting anyone actually needed a cunning plan.
  23. They probably don’t have them yet. Original codes should definitely have been sent yesterday but not sure if sending the new ones today would be an option.
  24. I hope you have a cunning plan to secure your tickets tomorrow?
