DesiScotsman Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Seems like the only success tonight. Got in quick with no issues & turnstile queues were moving well and quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoonTheSlope Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 A rather seemless process from start to finish. From the initial purchase of the package to the download of the app to entering the stadium Credit where credit is due. A big thank you and well done to the SSC, SFA and all at Hampden who have contributed to the improvements made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you close to the away support like us? What a fun night that was 😬 Re. the app; no problems. Can't tell whether clocking-in gives you a point, as am maxed out on home already.

Barney Rubble Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 One annoying inconvenience - at the North Stand entrances at least - is that a phone has to be removed from a protective wallet in order to place it inside the scanner reading mechanism. Granted, that's hardly the end of the world, but it is a bit tinpot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I was in the North Stand last night, and was there about 35 mins before kick off, and was very seamless, even the lines felt like they were moving that little bit faster to get in (even with security checks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceudmilefailte Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 The app does get rid of the faffing about trying to make the qr code the size you think it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoganRoy Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I was sceptical, but it was pretty slick. Body searches too and scanners, a few people getting cans taken as they were flagged on the scanners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDYER63 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 It was utter shite. Was so efficient it got me in 30 mins early. Please can we go back to missing the entire first half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runningtings Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Haha that's so true, virtually no queue and straight in. Was there in plenty time and didn't know what to do with myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously wish I had, it was bloody baltic to add to the rest of the negatives. First time ever I considered leaving early, and I have stayed to the end for some amount of dog shit performances.

Or wet ones, or had folded them incorrectly or were upside down (I’ve seen that). I remember helping a load of people into the ground at Krakow. All sort of wacky ways to try and scan.

I queued for a good 30 mins at the Norway game (got in at 0-1 down), and asked a polis while queuing if it was like this for cup finals at Hampden. He replied no, just for Scotland games. Was he right, or....? Edit: It's an open question to everyone re cup finals. Obviously Squirrelhumper as a Killie man doesn't know much about cup finals 😜 Edited April 5 by Dave78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazil in London maybe but that’s about it (and even that had nothing to do with the actual game). Don’t know why I bother going to them.

Thankfully the nations league has now kept friendlies to a minimum as they really are a tough watch. I tend to just go as they are usually part of a package. I am not going to rehash everything that has already been said about the NI game but there is nothing remotely friendly or worthwhile in hosting that type of match , a spectacle that only encourages the worst inhabitants from the west coast of Scotland. The app did work well , though I am with Dave78, a greater test may be the Finland game being the last home game before the Euros and on a Friday night. A lot of folk will have made an effort to go early to the NI game due to the new app and may have been lured into a false sense of security by its apparent slickness . Everyone goes back to arriving 15 mins before kick off we have the same old massive queues. I do tend to think this is the biggest problem. Plus I expect a more bevvied crowd ( based on a small poll friends and family poll) and the complications that brings 🙂 Is there any entertainment before the game with it being the send off game? That might get folk in earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
