thesaint Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Just wondering why suddenly there are a certain amount of tickets available for the game.Suppose it must be unused debenture tickets .Can't see why there are suddenly tickets available if it's not the unused debenture tickets.

Happens every game! Combination of debenture holders and SFA member clubs, groups etc. not taking up their full allocation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah.That is the only explanation i can think of.Shows you the kind of w..kers that are involved there.Suppose all the better that some FOOTBALL fans might actually get the tickets and not those debenture types.The further they are away from a football match the better for all concerned.

I got 2 tix just now for a colleague and his wee boy. Wee boy is so excited . They stood in the pouring rain at Hampden before the Georgia game trying to get tickets , unsuccessfully, so glad they got these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loanhead-tartan Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Logged in at 9.30 and only just got in 4 minutes after tickets were announced as sold out . Had it open the whole time in work and the estimated time just kept a going up and up . So if anyone has a spare ticket I’ll gladly take it off your hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesaint Posted August 25, 2023 Author Share Posted August 25, 2023 Good that attending the Georgia game was required before getting the chance of an england ticket but a bit surprised that each buyer was allowed to buy 6 tickets. Surely 2 tickets each would have fairer.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie84 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Personally think it's a bit of a piss take from the sfa tbh. Me and a mate both been members for about 20yrs and missed out on tickets originally and couldn't apply for these today because we didn't go down for the Georgia game but people could buy 6 even if they already had.

Willie84 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 We waited for the public sale so we could get tickets to take our kids with us along with getting tickets together for them for Cyprus and Spain games as well. It had sold out by the time we got sorted so that's on us but to release more and not have the option as a member is a piss take. People who already had could buy another 6 as well which is a joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the tickets were getting sent by post I could perhaps see the ‘ less hassle’ argument for 6 tickets per person as we are close to the date of the game . But they are being sent by email so it’s irrelevant, I had the tix in my inbox within 5 mins of ordering them. I could have asked more friends if they wanted them but I didn’t, I got them for the colleague as I knew he really wanted to take his son. I think 6 tickets is far too much per person given the general demand for them , its only fair its spread around and everyone has a fair chance of getting them. They used to allow 6 or more tix per member years ago when they were finding it hard to fill the stadium but I haven’t seen that offer for a long time.

Your probably right regarding the tickets getting sent to a phone but for the life of me i can't see any reason at all why they gave a single member the chance to buy 6 tickets .Surely as you say it should have been spread out among more potential buyers.That decision came out of left field vis-a-vis the usual ticket sales schedule.😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
