Stockholm 1980 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Would UEFA not be better to have a short sale period for Czech and Croatia fans to see the uptake and if there are any spares generated, before commencing the Scotland sale. I can’t see UK based Czechs and Croatians taking up their 16 percents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A calm controlled and fair distribution to SSC members based on points accrued, or a free for all on the UEFA website? J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ofcourse have a heavy preference for it to be the person that will pay the highest or enters the ground via a sponsor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be good if the SFA could outline my last sentence to UEFA. The rickets will sell out regardless. Scots will be in those seats (if the Czechs and Croats can’t attend), A calm controlled and fair distribution to SSC members based on points accrued, or a free for all on the UEFA website?

Stockholm 1980 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 There will obviously be areas of mixed fans. There must also be a fair number of Scots who have and not yet lost Wembley tickets and will be in areas with predominantly Non Scots.

Sure This is the euro 2020 hospitality line : 020 3356 2020 I called them to enquire what they had left as I’ve had my Scotland Czech ticket cancelled and I’m on 10 points. Was informed that there is now no hospitality at Hampden for the Euros this summer. I then went on the site to check this information and it’s down as “sold out” however it has been cancelled fully.

Interesting. Weren’t they selling these packages for £3500 or something? UEFA bigwigs will choke on their prawn sandwiches if they have to refund a couple of hundred of those.

UEFA bigwigs will choke on their prawn sandwiches if they have to refund a couple of hundred of those. I certainly know there was some crazy packages kicking about. Their brochures are still live online. I enquired about Wembley once and was put off by pricing - not sure I’d have followed through and booked for the Czech match. I think €500 would be the highest I’d go. Most I’ve ever paid for a match was a Barcelona game and that was €120. Never thought I’d contemplate higher than €200.

The pinnacle for many a home nations player and whom many a passionate Irishman has represented with his heart and soul. It’s just a shame everyone has to apply football mentality to everything... More a small minded mentality than anything else really. It's the equivalent of having an issue with Scottish golfers being part of the European Ryder Cup team if you happened to vote for Brexit. Both viewpoints would be just as stupid as the other. As you've rightly said it's the pinnacle for these sportspeople. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitch Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) With things changing and getting better what are the chances of the amount of fans at the games increasing? They have had concerts in Liverpool and now the brits and the snooker world final all with a full house and no masks. If the SFA push to get more tickets and sell them to members surely that is more money for the bigwigs at UEFA.

Although the snooker and Brits etc. were full or had big crowds they still only had 1000-4000 people. Although the football is outside there will be concerns about overcrowding on public transport if 20,000 plus people are streaming out of Hampden and packing into the trains like cattle like we normally do. Personally I’d be happy to take the risk but that’s the kind of pish they’ll come out with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly were all doing so when I was watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion Rampant Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 The fans at the snooker and the folk at the brits are part of government run test events. Everyone attending has to test beforehand and afterwards for a period of time to see what effect having these events have on transmission. Can't see that being applied to 20k people going to a football match unfortunately. Might be wrong but I would assume that the SFA and Uefa would love more folk in Hampden, its the Scottish Government that are restricting the number of people. I can't see them relaxing the restrictions on that anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p gala ta Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 What worries me is that UEFA won’t use our points totals to allocate tickets , doubt if they have even asked SSC for the totals . They will only use your membership number we gave when registering with UEFA to see that we are eligible for tickets. The result will be first come first served when their site opens to ticket sales . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
