The_Maestro Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 As you'll see, first time poster. If this isn't in the correct place or has been answered somewhere else I'll happily take directions. In the past I was a member of the Travel Club and a fairly regular attendee at games, all home, the occasional away. I have moved to the middle east in recent years so am a bit out of the loop. As it so happens I can get dirt cheap flights to Moscow from where I am for the dates around the Russia away game. I just have a couple of questions: 1) Is the visa process still convoluted and expensive? 2) What are the chances of a non-travel club member picking up a ticket? Either officially or unofficially? Any help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euan2020 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) sounds like process is simpler - no hotel voucher now I think If you are somewhere remote abroad, possible that process is easier I recall asking consulate in Angola about getting VISA for Russia, and they were quite chatty about process - as a guide my colleague also in Angola organised Cambodia visa,there & was entertained with tea & biscuits while they organised visa Tickets - guys are always able to pick up a ticket at the away matches ( I have never had to, but there are multiple people who do this regular - Personally i would take the chance - @ worst worm your way into the Russian end - Generally I have found russians quite friendly - Edited June 28, 2019 by euan2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 You can join the SSC for £35. It's no guarantee of a ticket but a lot of recent games have gone down to folk on zero loyalty points. Might be worth a gamble for the sake of £35? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainMore Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I am going to request picking up my ticket in Russia as I have holiday planned and the week in Russia is just the second leg of holiday. I had the visa paperwork sorted well in advance of my visit to centre in Leith. I found the application relatively painless in the end thanks to the advice provided on the forums here.
