Even €195 is ridiculous for a game of football. In a few years when I think back on us pumping the hosts in the opening game I won’t be thinking about what I paid for my ticket though.

Luckily we won’t need to worry about going to that game. 😂 Ye of little faith! 😂 It is a lot of money, but think it needs a bit of context with the level of event it is and comparison to what folk pay for concerts or other big sporting events. Look at going to el Classico, or a day out at Wimbledon or the US Open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat 1 and 2 are a disgrace. Even if i could afford it i couldn't force myself to. pay 400 or 600 euros for a football match. Even the 190 euros is borderline. Dissapointed that there are not more lower price tickets. Got a feeling the tartan army will be well represented in the Munich fan zone.

scottincarlisle Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 The prices for all nations official supporters clubs should have been capped at the lowest 2 price categories for all games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubsDave Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 If my maths is correct about 80% of those on 12 or more points will be able to buy tickets at the following prices: Munich €50 - €195(!) Cologne/Stuttgart €30 - €60 Do we expect >80% of those members on 12 or more points to buy tickets ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a fair few people on 12 points or more (especially any 12 pointers who only go to home games) who won’t be going to Germany next year at all and a fair few folk who might only go to 2 of the matches. Hard to put a figure on it but I would guess that the vast majority (if not everyone) of people who log on at 12 tomorrow to buy tickets will pay €195 at the most for Munich and €60 at the most for the other 2 games.

Got a feeling the tartan army will be well represented in the Munich fan zone. The SSC allocation will sell out easily enough and the Munich fan zone will also be full of Scots. There will be lots of people on 11 and 10 points who will happily (well happily might be a bit strong 😂) pay €400 or €600 for a ticket for the Germany game.

kumnio Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Seems ridiculous that a 12 pointer will possibly be able to buy a cheap ticket, and a 32 pointer will miss out on it. It should have been done in smaller groupings IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your point is valid to be fair but UEFA will want the tickets shifted as quickly as possible so I doubt the SFA has much of a choice.

Sempre Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 If my maths is correct, more than 70% of Scotland fans in the sale tomorrow will be paying a minimum of €195 for a ticket for the Germany game. 47% will pay a minimum of €400 for a Germany ticket, and over 10% will have to pay €600.

In a few years when I think back on us pumping the hosts in the opening game I won’t be thinking about what I paid for my ticket though. It is but like everything we’ve been slowly shifted to accept it. Im going to Cardiff for the rugby and an OK ticket £115. Which is scandalous. I think my first ever game in Cardiff in 1996 was £13! €195 is £170. Not that big a leap from £115 to £170. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will price a lot of people who can’t get cheaper tickets out of going right enough which is really not in the spirit of football. The opening game will sell out easily though so UEFA will claim the pricing is fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned earlier that the website was down last night so I wonder if they originally meant to send them out today but have had system problems which has delayed it until tomorrow? I suspect we’ll never know. If they always planned on sending the emails an hour before the sale going live and there is a delay for some people the SFA will have some explaining to do.

I think it’s closer to 36% who will pay a minimum of €400 but admittedly maths isn’t my strong suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
