TRANSFERRING SSC ISSUED TICKETS

[Newlands Willie]

I heard on the grapevine that the SFA have relented, and that they are now allowing their own issued tickets to be transferred via the UEFA ticketing App?

Previous comms from the SFA were that tickets were not transferable.

Has anyone else heard this, as i have not received any communications from the SFA confirming this?

Now that all tickets have been issued, has anyone tried transferring SSC tickets via the APP, and more importantly, did it work?

Happy to hear any feedback in regards to this topic.

Cheers.

Yes, it's possible mate.

[GaryWood34]

Was not possible for euro2020, was very surprised but these are transferable for euro2024.

[Newlands Willie]

Thanks guys.

Any official confirmation?

Dont want to try and transfer and find that tickets get blocked or cancelled?

I transferred all 3 tickets for the group games to another SSC member last night and it all appears to have worked. It only took 2 mins and the tickets appeared in their app within a minute and no longer show in mine. All I needed was the email address they have used for the app. I don't know if it makes any difference that they hold SSC membership or not as the UEFA app doesn't know that. So totally possible as I have just done it.

Thats very informative ...thanks

Good to see that it has worked.

The official line is that SSC tickets are NOT transferable, but i have always assumed they could not prevent it.

I suspect the SFA are not widely broadcasting this.

I have a friend who can no longer go to the games and wishes to transfer all 3 Scotland tickets to a friend.

Looks like your experience suggests it can be done with no jeapordy.

Thanks again.

There was a post on the Tartan Army Facebook group roughly saying they’d emailed the SSC and the response was that they frowned on transferring tickets but could not stop it as they are UEFA tickets. So I presume you’re fine

The only role the SSC play in this is issuing access codes to those members with sufficient points. After that everything is a UEFA matter.

Also no SSC points are issued for tournament games, regardless of whether your ticket was acuired using a code from the SSC or being lucky in the UEFA ballot.

[Texas Pete]

As others have suggested it won’t be anything to do with the SFA. UEFA won’t want to risk any empty seats being seen on TV so they’ll be happy for tickets to be transferred. 

Interestingly though I don’t think the tickets bought with SSC codes for Euro 2020 were transferable but I couldn’t guarantee my memory of that being accurate.

It was possible to transfer them. But needed a bit of deleting & downloading the app. between the different parties.

SFA reply...

do we know if these can these be transferred more than once?

Thank you all for your feedback.

Looks like transferring is possible with no risk of losing tickets or them somehow being blocked or cancelled by the SFA via UEFA.

I will let you know once my friend has done the transfer

Thanks again

Related to this thread, it's a bit concerning about the distribution of tickets for the round of 16, should we get through.

My son and I had enough points (eleven) to buy tickets for the group matches. I didn't buy them though, as I didn't want to take him out of school. Even if it had been clear at that stage that they would be transferable, I would have left them for other SSC members to buy.

We are, however, going to be in Germany for a week from 26 June. Now that the cat is out of the bag about these tickets being transferable, what's to stop members with more points than us (who have left Germany after the group games) buying tickets and passing them on to their friends?

I'm aware that the allocation per competing nation drops to 7,000 for the round of 16, and that we might not have enough points anyway, but the fact they can potentially be bought and transferred by fellow SSC members who have no intention of going doesn't seem very fair to other members who will be in Germany at that time.

There’s nothing to stop the transfer of people buying round of 16 and passing them on.

The cat is indeed "out of the bag"

But still not official as there has been no update sent to SSC members to explain this.

It was always nonsensical that the SFA could stop them being transferred.

It will be first come first served for the round of 16.

I have no doubt that the transferability will create a secondary market, and whilst most SSC members will purchase for themselves, there is no doubt that some will purchase to forward on.

Good luck in getting round of 16 briefs.

A lot of people will have spent all the brownie points (and actual cash) on a fortnight in Germany. That could free up some tickets. 
 

That said, most high pointers will make the effort for Scotlands biggest game in our history (I will be, told the wife this).

However the chance to quadruple your money or pass onto a mate will be too much for some.

i suspect there may be many with domestic commitments that have to get back home before the round of 16.

They will probably try to get tickets if they have enough points and will pass them on to friends.

If the SSC had the appetite to address this they could of course insist on in-person collection in Germany of purchase codes, in the way that they sometimes insist on in-person collection of physical tickets.

Even then, however, log-in details for the UEFA app could be passed on to friends.

I don’t think the SSC could insist on this when the tickets will go on sale around 5 days before our potential second round match.

If we do get through our game could be in Dortmund, Berlin or Munich. Is everyone just supposed to travel to one of these cities up to 5 days early to get their code? Would be a hassle for SSC as well.

In addition to the 3 cities mentioned we can also potentially play our 2nd round games in Cologne or Frankfurt!

They'll need to dust off the "Notice of Instructions for the Distribution of Knockout Round Briefs © 1954" document from the Hampden museum.
