TDYER63 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 18 hours ago, GroundsKeeper said: Euro 2020/21 was obviously reduced capacities due to Covid. To the credit of the SFA I understand they gave most if not all of their allocation to the SSC due to the pandemic. IF we do make Germany and the SFA get 16 percent of the stadiums capacity do not expect the SSC to get the 16 percent. Players, sponsors and hangers on will get a percentage. Also heard UEFA are considering 10K per competing nation instead of 16%. Again how may of those tickets will be passed onto the SSC is unclear. But the points tally required may be higher than the 12 quoted previously. This leaves me a bit unsure what to do. Currently on 14 points should move to 16 after Spain game. Should I be applying for tickets in the ballot or not ? Another question, is it likely to be the same people within the SSC, ie those on highest points, who get first chance of tickets for every game, or will those people be restricted on buying tickets for second game for example if they already have a ticket for the first game ?

I will sit tight just now. You'd be buying tickets blindly for fixtures you don't know the make-up of yet and you probably have a 1 in 10 chance of you buying a ticket and Scotland end up playing in that match.

I’m on 14 and I’m assuming I’ll be ok. I did apply for tickets for the opening game, the semis and the final - a long shot to get them but you never know!

The UEFA website will only let you buy tickets for one game on any particular day. So, if you just happen to get a ticket in the ballot for a day that Scotland are playing, the website won't let you buy a Scotland ticket for the same day via the SFA allocation. It's explained in more detail somewhere else on here. You'll find if you have a look about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And good luck with the other games. I would need a lottery win and a new job to hang around that long 😁 1 hour ago, saintydave said: The tickets will go on sale in December, UEFA want your money as quickly as possible, so no more points available after Georgia yeah, I am not going to France or Georgia so this is the maximum i will have. 35 minutes ago, Orraloon said: The UEFA website will only let you buy tickets for one game on any particular day.

It's explained in more detail somewhere else on here. You'll find if you have a look about. I know that, that is why I am asking the question. I was unsure how many points I would need to feel guaranteed I will get ticket/s through the SSC. I don’t want to get a ticket in the ballot for a game that doesn’t involve Scotland then lose out on a Scotland ticket via the SSC on the same day. If I felt i had enough points to be safe I wouldn’t apply at all for the ballot. It sounds fairly positive I will have enough , but it may be borderline if a load of tickets go to corporate etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLOSTA Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 If I remember rightly for the last Euros we had to go via the SSC who them emailed out a code/link to get SSC allocation via UEFA... but it was a while back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLOSTA Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) For those that missed out on last Euros (covid cut the allocations) be prepared for the joy of tix only available via the UEFA app and having to go a couple of hoops to activate them on the way into the ground... To be fair it worked OK, but the fear of a flat battery haunted me all day. Edited October 4, 2023 by GLOSTA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair it worked OK, but the fear of a flat battery haunted me all day. My phone went into a "talk back mode" at the turn styles for the opening game at hampden vs the Czechs. Complete nightmare and if it wasn't for the help from a fellow TA it would have ended in disastour. Obviously the activation thing is to stop ticket touts and people forging tickets but yes it was stressfull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Fae Hamilton Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I'm in Germany for 8 Days, applied for 8 Sets of 4 Tickets! All around the Frankfurt area.

stirlish Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I wont have enough points for SFA tickets. If i apply for a few matches in the ballot and I'm successful do i have to accept them? The matches could be utter dungmeat or even worse, England! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do get tickets through the first ballot there's a deadline to pay for them, so if you don't want to go to them don't pay. Problem is you can't pick & choose, so if you've tried for 10 matches & get them & a couple of them are Scotland games, you've got to accept the 10 (or how many games you're successful in) or none at all.

deso1 Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) I've applied for around 10 matches, but it's my understanding there isn't a swap portal, and we won't know the teams involved intil after we accept the tickets. So it's a totally blind gamble, with the odds totally against getting any decent games. Edited October 11, 2023 by deso1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stirlish Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Thanks for the replies folks. They do like to make things complicated, is it just football, or are other sports this convoluted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
