Yeah I would agree with this. I am fortunate enough to have tickets for all 3 matches but I think it would have been better to limit everyone to one match with those on higher points getting first choice of which game they wanted to go to.

Would probably have been an administrative nightmare so can't really blame the SFA on this occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word fair means different things to different folk. They stuck to the SSC rules that we all signed up for. Can't say fairer than that.

I think the SFA have done well and conducted the tickets in the right way with the limited powers they have had. I do understand peoples disappointment as pre covid alot more would have been rewarded. It should hopefully encourage higher attendance home matches going forward as i suspect in tournaments to come going to these alone will guarantee a tournament ticket. I was on 13 points, 1 for renewing, 10 for last 10 home games and 2 points for attending away game to Belgium. None of it has cost me an arm and a leg and the 5 match package was very competitively priced in my opinion. the most expensive was the away game but ticket, accommodation + travel cost approx £150 and a futher £80 on food and beverages. I have Wembley and Croatia and look forward to a very coarse voice and the inevitable emotional roller coaster. I'm 36 and this is my 1st ever Euro game in 98 i was 14 and can remember the buzz watching it in the local bowling club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word fair means different things to different folk. They stuck to the SSC rules that we all signed up for. Can't say fairer than that. There are arguments for doing it either way. The fairest way would probably have been to have three categories of member depending on how many points each had, for example: Category A - 25+ points (all 3 matches) Category B - 15-24 points (2 matches) Category C - X-14 points (1 match) As others have pointed out this would have been a nightmare to organise and the way it was done was the easiest and as you say the normal points rules were applied so nobody can complain. I am certainly not complaining as I have my tickets but it does seem a pity that some people who may have went to every home game for 20 years won’t even get to see one match at the finals. Can’t be helped though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t be helped though. TBF they have had about 6 months to chat to fans and get the opinions. IMHO those who would have been in SSC allocation but for COVID should have been looked after. So 5 pointers would have still been stuffed, but it would acknowledge those who through no fault now get Boy Scout. It could have been sold as “all in this together” and “Team Scotland”, and I’m sure most would be fine. Remember it’s only those I reckon on about 11 points to 8 or 7. Not a massive amount and everyone would have got to one game. Yes those at the very top would get all three to reward top loyality. As you can tell I’m a 9 pointer who will be at pub / home. Still, it’s all done now. Anyone fancy taking a guest? I’m your man! J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbhoy11 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Apologies if this has been covered on another thread. I’ve purchased 2 tickets via uefa website for myself and 9 year old son. I’ve thankfully managed to keep a hold of these. I’ve Read on here tickets couldn’t Be purchased for kids. Was that just for Scottish Fa allocation or is that the overall rule that no kids can attend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Hibs Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Talking of Covid, has anybody seen/heard anywhere what the stadium entry protocols will be? I'm talking about test/vaccine certificates type things. I live down south but will be in Scotland a few days before the games and not sure how you go about booking an official test and how many days it needs to be valid for before the game. I'm guessing home tests won't count for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamessm238 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) When downloading the new app for tickets it says there is no tickets associated with this email? Does that come in time or will I send them an email? Sorry I knew I had seen a post about this before and just read up 2!

Unfortunately for people on lower points, the system rewards high attendance, and rightly so. If you want a game for tournaments, there’s one way to guarantee that.

Normally I would agree (and still kinda do) but you’ve got to feel a wee bit sorry for the guys who have went to enough games to guarantee a ticket under normal circumstances.

Well they could’ve done it so that nobody with a certain amount of points would lose out completely but yeah they had to pick a way to do it and nobody can have any complaints. Can’t please everyone when there are so few tickets available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
