N4Footsoldier Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I met a guy in Oslo who had 0 points despite going to most games since the 90s, because he doesn't want to directly give the SFA money or have any of his details on their site.

How does he get into most games without paying money to the SFA? Does he climb over the wall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticket collection is all well and good in that it stops some people from harvesting points however some people just give their driving license to their mate and they collect it. Same age - ish and same hair colour - they’ll probably give the ticket. Never done that myself but I’d imagine some do. Home end tickets are always easy to come by - If you want in to game hard enough you’ll get in I think. Although that boy sounds like a lot of effort when he could just swallow it and pay the £50 fee hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always remember the dreaded scenario of turning up to Safeway when the tickets go on sale to find out they have already been sold out somehow.

GroundsKeeper Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Can anyone remember the 1999, 2000 play off ? GCC, the glasgow city council were entrusted with distributing the public sale of the hampden tickets vs THEM Kevin Kegan was in charge the phone lines obviously crashed due to the demand. All the tickets were sold on the council internal lines. 😡 Edited November 2, 2023 by GroundsKeeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for a fact because someone I knew who worked in the City Chambers used the internal GCC number to buy them for me and the order was subsequently cancelled.

Didn't get any success with SSC staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
