That is still available to members at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leg-End Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Still waiting for my tickets to arrive. I’m travelling up from East Anglia on Thursday so if they don’t arrive tomorrow I’m screwed. Phoned the SSC and they told me to call back if I don’t receive them in time. Bit of a joke not to have them so close to the first match.

hursty Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I bought mine for Albania game on Monday afternoon, paid £2 or whatever for the postage and they arrived yesterday - good service for me, but doesn't seem right that others are still waiting having bought the package ages ago..

I used to travel up for all the games when they were on the weekends. I know Friday night is fun for people in the central belt, but it makes it tough for anyone coming from further afield. Monday night? That's just out of the question I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That only really benefits people who watch games on tv but screws over people who actually go to games. Re the central belt comment I would go furhter and say it only really suits people in and around Glasgow. There are only 3 trains back to Falkrik/Edinburgh after the game (and to make the first of those 3 you have to be very efficient in getting back to the train station). These trains are usually rammed and on occasion have been full which meant people have to wait on the next one. The poor attendances for the next few games should mean this is less of an issue.

Squirrelhumper Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 When I stayed in Saltcoats, midweek games were usually okay in terms of getting home as last train was about 11pm from central. Can understand the frustrations of others though from north of Edinburgh as public transport is a no go. Sadly outwith the control of the SFA.

You're absolutely right. In fact, I even used to think it was a nightmare getting to/from Hampden from Drumchapel haha! One time I ended up walking home through the Clyde Tunnel. If you've never been through the pedestrian tunnel, keep it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Not ecstatic about paying £25 for the Albania game, but I’ll still go. Few mates not bothering, mainly due to the Monday night. Can’t see anymore than 25k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could’ve had 4 tickets for the Wales v Ireland game tonight for £60. Belter of a game and, if you’re Welsh, a magnificent night’s entertainment. Much more enjoyable and entertaining for the Taffs than Monday will be for us I’m certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor are they concerts as some would have you believe as a reasonable comparison. They are friendly football matches (despite the marketing by UEFA). People's imaginations are firmly underwhelmed by 30 notes and are keeping their wallets firmly in their pockets for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
