As long as you let them know, tickets will be resold. Plenty get a ticket before finalising trip, then too expensive, cannot get time off or other half puts foot down, or keep powder dry for later. Our wee group will give stadium a bash re tickets, morning of the game or happily watch in a boozer. No tckets are being resold as the original members name is on the ticket. Seems a waste of tickets to me , especially when its a low allocation, but not much the SFA can do on this occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called them yesterday as my mum is in hospital and I need to cancel the trip. I thought I could free up my 2 tckets to give someone else the chance of having them , but they said they cant take cancellations as the names are on our tickets.

As Wubbs says, they won't be bothered. I'm sure the SFA could sort it if they wanted to. Just give the tickets to somebody who needs them, and take your points. They don't make it easy for folk to be honest. I blame Flure. He said the names would NOT be on the tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am no that honest, I got chosen for a pick or those tickets would be winging themselves to anyone who could rustle up Mr and Mrs Tdyer63 passports 🙂 Come to think ot it , that ambassador guy could be doing a few homers as we speak. No wonder he looked so chirpy in that video. And know what you are thinking, you are thinking ‘ is her mum really in hospital’ ? 🙄 Flure has submitted an official complaint as his tickets arrived in standard post under the very common title of Mr J Flure. It would appear there is no ‘Lord and Lady’ options in the Hungarian FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tartanmartin Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I wonder why they left it so last minute? It must've been when they realised their team are pish and there was no way they'd sell out any of the home ends. Perhaps they should have given the SSC more than 1050 when the SSC originally asked for more tickets at the initial discussions. And given the problems created by the Hungarian law on ticket selling (name, d.o.b., place of birth on ticket etc) I'm not sure how the SSC would have distributed a last minute allocation. It would ideally have had to be based on away points but how do they get that message out to fans that are already in Budapest? How do they co-ordinate the orders? The SSC never had enough staff on the ground to sell and distribute an extra 1000 or so tickets with the legislative info that needed to be on the tickets. And, rightly, the SSC cannot vouch for all Scottish fans that go to a sale organised by the HFA. How do they know they are SSC members? Would points have been allocated to SSC members? Where in the stadium would this section have been? The Hungarians had fans in every available section of the grounds - how would segregation have worked at the last minute? Total arse covering exercise by the HFA now that the finger is being pointed at them. If only they'd fronted up with 2,500 away tickets in the first place then this whole sorry episode would largely have been avoided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexy Midnight Runner Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Well said Tartanmartin, Hungarian FA cocked up on a great revenue opportunity for them, their loss but a shame no true assessment on Scotland travelling numbers was able to be obtained ahead of the game, for that SFA have to take responsibility, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanmartin Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Dexy, the SFA asked for a few thousand tickets but the HFA dug their heels in and said 5% = 1050 = the segregated away end. The HFA honestly expected to sell out their sections! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Jim Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Maybe the HFA thought the home sections would sell, but a few Hungarians that spoke to me on different occasions seemed pretty hacked off that Azerbaijan thumped them, so that maybe drove their support away. On the other hand, the behind-the-goal section beside our corner seemed also to have netting round it, so was maybe a 2000-seat segregated area. Maybe too big for the SSC to risk?

Goozay Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I wouldn't let the SSC escape criticism on this. Customer service of the Club has been dropping for years now and I'd have zero confidence in their ability to negotiate a decent allocation or even have it as a priority to get a decent allocation in the first place.

tartanmartin Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 The HFA have made a total mess of this. The SFA need called out when they're in the wrong such as the new ticket system and the subsequent delays with renewing. But when it comes to away allocations we're permitted 5%/10% in Europe. Time and again they've secured us more than the minimum. GrimJim I didn't notice the netting at the adjacent section to us but I'm sure ours was the only one with the perspex surround which designates the away section.

Bzzzz Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Very disappointed with the SFA, I am sure they could have done more to secure a larger allocation. Hungary don't attract huge numbers at the best of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
