Allocation

[dan cake]

I’m pretty confident everyone in the travel club will get an opportunity to buy tickets, this tournament is going to cost a fortune to attend and I think they’ll be a low percentage of our support actually travelling from Scotland. Iv been sticking away money since we never made Qatar and my pot (5 k) will be lucky if it stretches to flights and digs for the duration of the group stages, added not everyone can get time off work at that time of the year. For me fingers crossed it’s Mexico, the less Americans I have to encounter the better

Has that been confirmed? Cat 3 $140-215. Cat 2 more likely $310-$465

Not confirmed, but read as much on the Dutch SSC equivalent on Facebook.

My cat 3 tickets cost $225 per match! 

As previosly mentioned in other threads, the small print says that if we get a host team in an opener, there will be an extra charge which will take the cost to over $1,000.

Where did you get this. Tbh I would take this now if I could.

The guy said earlier in the thread that it was from the Visa pre sale phase draw which is now over.

Just on the subject of visas. You do not need any kind of visa to enter Mexico, a valid passport is enough.

It's possible that our first game could be the opening match against Mexico at the Azteca-  we have form for being drawn against the hosts in the first match, as in France 1998 and Germany 2024.

If that should happen, then the cheapest way to get there might well be to fly to Cancún, then get an internal flight (or 20 hour bus! 😨) to Mexico City.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see some/all games go down to around 3/4/5 points

The distance and cost to get over there will make it extremely difficult for anyone who is not travelling alone. It’s going to be dear enough for individuals and by the time you factor in domestic travel it will be almost impossible for working class fans, especially families

You'd need to be a very wealthy person to attend all 3+ games or you’ll be racking up a lot of debt on the old never ever card

The upside to that will mean it’s a lot less hectic than Germany and will hopefully separate the elite from the riff raff

That being said the immigrant population in North America will be what boosts numbers in cities hosting Scotland

Never equate money wiith class or lack of money with lack of class.Big mistake to be sure.😁

They’ll decide on a window some time after that date. Each qualifying country decided on their own date to sell. EG England sold their allocation for the last Euros almost a week after the SFA false start!

Posted similar here. I'll be very surprised if tickets are sold before Xmas based in historical practises.

The draw for Euro 2024 was on the 2nd December and our tickets went on sale 5 days later.

I really hope so! The Germany game fell to 9 points compared to the Hungary game of 11 points. The driver for that must have been the ticket prices for the opening game. Playing in North America is a whole different ball game with the cost of tickets, flights, accommodation pricing so many out the opportunity 😢

Although unconfirmed but it sounds like ticket allocation to be as low as 3k tickets for SSC at some grounds… meanwhile FIFA are selling tickets in a lottery system to anyone in the world. Feels they are doing this just to make sure people are pushed to the resell site so they can make more money!

What is the situation with selling on tickets ? I am on 14 points which should give me a realistic chance of getting tickets for all but the smallest stadiums.
I agree this WC will be far too expensive for a lot of people, certainly for all 3 games, but is there the chance people on higher points who aren’t going will buy tickets and sell them on , or is that banned ? If its banned there is a far greater chance of getting a ticket but I feel there may be no control over this. 
Sorry if this has been mentioned and I missed it my head is bursting with all the threads.

I don’t think anyone has commented as knowing for 100%. 
 

We know that the Euros app allowed transfer of SSC tickets but we don’t know about the World Cup setup. Maybe our friends in England or Wales could advise if their tickets were transferable in Qatar 2022 if anyone knows such folk.

There is a FIFA resell platform that you can sell your tickets on for any price you want (above or below face value). FIFA will take a 15% cut of your proceeds (and a 15% charge on what the buyer pays from the buyer as well). Obviously you will only get money back if there is someone willing to pay what price you put on your ticket. So a match against the top seed I would imagine you will easily sell if you are sensible with your pricing but a match against Curacao in a 60,000 stadium and you may struggle to get back what you pay for the tickets, if you are able to sell it at all.

I bought what would have been tickets for all of the Scotland group games in Qatar (had we beat Ukraine/Wales) and ended up reselling them on the FIFA resell platform. That all worked very smoothly BUT the big difference this time is that it had to be at face value last time whereas you can name your price this time.

I am pretty sure from memory that if you bought multiple tickets you only had to put on your own name plus "guests" and you could transfer/sell/give away your guest tickets and FIFA didn't really care but you still had to go yourself. You couldn't officially sell your own ticket outside the resell platform but I ended up going to Qatar anyway and there was a lot of "unofficial" transfers going on albeit given they were electronic tickets there was an element of risk about being paid as once you transferred your tickets you had no comeback and of course there was a nervousness from the buyer about giving people money in advance of getting tickets in case they didn't really have tickets.

👍 Yes,  I transferred my ticket to a random person at the Euros but it was a swap as his wife was in the same section as my husband and vice versa . So I could have easily sold it and was wondering if the same would happen for the WC.

Thanks. 
 You would think this uncertainty would put some people off buying purely to resell for a profit , so hopefully not everyone above me on points will be tempted to do this.

The guy i was swapping with was having a nervous breakdown as he transferred his ticket first just as I was going on a train , so I had to wait for 5 -10 mins to transfer mine. I was getting frantic calls from him every 2 minutes .
Me saying ‘ honest , I really do have a ticket’ wasn’t really pacifying him 😊

Not suggesting you’d do it but it would be unfair if STC members with say 16+ points bought tickets to resell them for a profit denying members on 12 points the opportunity to buy to attend.

I’d hope the SFA/FIFA would try to stop that to prevent our ‘official’ fans area full of non-members.

You would hope not and I personally wouldn’t do it but realistically some folk will do this if there was the chance to make a decent profit.

If folk have enough points to buy tickets for all games but only intend going to one two games then they might sell the other ticket for a profit and help towards the cost. Going by what Northern Light says there hasn’t been any restriction before, the SFA probably dont have that level of control. 
Hopefully the uncertainty of not knowing if you will get rid of them will prevent people from doing this. That and some integrity ..

Took a call last night from fifa official ( only ?) hospitality provider 

“onlocation”

$6750 US std

$7200 US std plus - better seats

follow your team

3 group games & round of 32

whether make it or not …. ( so that ll be a very expensive ticket to watch Norway play Cape Verde then !)

 

[sandyb]

For the euros I got 2 of the 3 on ten points. So I think most folk will get tickets if they can afford to go.

I remember the Germany Cat 1 tickets being available for a fair while - can’t remember what points level, but they dropped down the levels as there was obviously a price premium for the opening match compared to the Swiss/Hungary match. 
 

With the ticket prices being talked about, I think it’s fair to assume that Cat 1 tickets are will drop and drop down the levels.

FIFA have it sown up to deter touts and get the money for themselves. First they are charging $200-300 for average tickets. To get $300 back, someone needs to pay about $400 from a buyer due to the fees on both sides. Scotland v Senegal in a 60,000 stadium. The market value for an average seat will not be $400, it will be much lower. Even in the Euros, tickets fro Scotland v Swiss in a 40,000 with loads of Scots in Germany were going for around £200.
