Rich NATA Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 3 hours ago, Bristolhibby said: Think our wires are crossed. My preference is for all tickets to be allocated via the SSC. Cancel the ones sold in the public sale, net off any tickets going to the Czechs or Croats then allocate all spare through the SSC. What I was saying is they are giving the SSC a reduced %, and a ballot for those who have pre ordered general sale tickets. There will be low pointers who will luck out in the presale ballot because they bought a ticket a year ago. My point is there are a lot of SSC supporters with a decent points total who will miss out, who would have got tickets pre COVID and put off even applying for general sale as we knew we would be alright to the them through the usual SSC allocation. (I’m in this camp. Would have walked into all three games with my points). COVID has holed that idea below the waterline. J Understood... and I agree with you.

celtic2thecore Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 I've been in the ssc for a few years and have accumulated a decent amount of points but I'm resigned to the fact I'll be watching our 3 group games on the tele. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shows the new points system doesn't really change anything. Attending away games gets you 1 more point per game than a home game. 20pts v 10pts over last 10 games. It gave the home fans a bit of false hope. It's possible to get 12pts without going to away matches when you renew early and have been a member for a few years. Looking at the numbers that may be enough to have a chance at a ticket for Wembley even with the vastly reduced allocation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyDD Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I had presumed that international travel would not be allowed yet come the Euros and as such any tickets from the 12,000 that would have went to the Croats and Czechs would be available to allocate in some other way, but now, it might well turn out international travel has indeed resumed. So long as they use the points system for allocating the tickets we do get for the SSC, I reckon I'll get one, but I'm doubtful any of the other people I usually go with will. So I might be faced wi a dilemma. Will being there wi a mask on, distanced from other fans, really be better than in a beer garden, inside a pub or in a house? Cannae believe it's even up for question, but that's the reality now. Presume a lot of us are having similar thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah it’s against the law. Except in hospitality areas of course. There was talk a couple of years ago of trialling the return of booze to football grounds and using Euro 2020 to test it but it came to nothing. Will be brutal if you have an early every slot for the games and can’t get a pint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 There is a big fenced off area going up around Hampden at the moment, I imagine Alcohol will be permitted outside the stadium in a closed off Fan Zone for those with tickets, but not actually sold inside the stadium.

TA Torr Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Its a great way to get fans into the ground early if we know we can get a pint inside the "fan zone" @ hampden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they will want all those with tickets in the "fan zone" at the stadium in early before the match (for the tv camera's and spending their money) which is probably as close to getting a beer at Hampden as you will get, before you get your slot for entering the actual ground at the turnstiles.

rOsCo2 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Considering the current restrictions on going to the pub, if there is a fanzone at the ground (even better if you can buy a beer!) then that is ideal to maybe at least get a bit of atmosphere before the game. I've not seen anything to suggest there will be one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fingers are crossed on alcohol. This matches up with uefa website saying do not bring food and drink as there will be facilities once you get past the barriers.

Mate went to take a look at Hamdpen yesterday and said a large portion of the South East car park was fenced off (but suspects this is the media area) and work about to start on the large area behind the West Stand, which he suspects will be the "fan zone" at the stadium for ticket holders to games.

Nice one hopefully there is going to be stalls setup. I am hoping we find out this weekend on the allocated times to be in the stadium.

Rents Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Managed to get booked into the shed for the pre match bevvy for this game. Still holding out hope that there will be stalls at the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if you get a ticket for one game you should be excluded for the ballot for others, spread the attendance amongst folk.

Probably the cheapest of all the secondary markets, although it’s still scandalous that these Tossers can sell tickets at that price.
