Several people have renewed since then. They may now have more members on 7-12 than tickets. I wonder if they sell more than the allocation (and they can't get more), they'll refund money to those on lowest points who bought a ticket.

Several people on 7-12 have since renewed their membership, so there may now be more members on 7-12 than there are tickets available.

runningtings Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I'm on 5 points, not particularly hopeful at this point. We'll go anyway and try and get a ticket out there. Be great if the SFA secured more tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have thought they would have projected figures to take your scenario into account but even if they didn’t all they have to say is tickets now sold out, as I said not worth the hassle of using up staff doing refunds just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wubbs Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 how can they have projected figures? cancelling tickets and refunding money to those on 7 (and possibly 8) points to satisfy demand for those on higher points would be the correct decision. Yes it might be a hassle, but not doing it make a mockery of the points system. Why should a 12 pointer miss out on a ticket at the expense of a 7 pointer?

I disagree, if people renew after the tickets have alrady gone on sale then no way should tickets be taken from those who renewed and purchased tickets.

So what happens if a 12 pointer (who renewed membership a few weeks back) tries to buy a ticket tomorrow morning at 9 am and there are none left? The deciding factor for who gets a ticket should be number of points. Not when you bought membership, and not when you logged on to buy your ticket. Otherwise why are we bothering with a points system? edit: were 7-12 points only yesterday until today? Thought it was a 48 hour window?

In which case I think SSC should have cancelled a ticket from a 7 pointer and allocated it to the 12 pointer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irnbruman Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I was on nine points before I renewed. Didn't get any emails from sfa re ticket sale - tried earlier in week when site wasn't working. Just got a message from a mate saying tickets sold out . First time I tried today it said sold out -just tried again and was able to buy one. What a fucking shambles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone has tickets in their basket and they take too long to process the transaction they will be kicked out and any tickets are back on sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
