Points

[faddysgirl]

Does anyone know when our SSC points are likely to be updated?

[jamboman]

Another question, do you get the points if you transfer your tickets?

[Diamond Scot]

How many points do we think will be required to get tickets?

What % of tickets do the SFA get for each game?

Reported today that its 8% of the stadium.

If that is the case then it's further evidence they do not give a stuff about the fans of the competing teams. I mean 84% going to the corporates. Well I hope the stadiums are half empty. That will teach them.

[kumnio]

Yep, its a ridiculously low percentage, the Euros weren't much better at 10% though.

No-one seems to have an answer to this.

There are fans who have transferred tickets and lost the point, and those that have transferred tickets and their points have been fine.

I wonder if there's a difference if you transfer a ticket after it activates in the app? 🤔

Aye but that includes tickets for the SFA hangers on, players families (fair enough) & corporate spivs 🤬

I had it in my head that Euro 2026 was allocations of 10,000, rather than by %age, in order to accommodate the large differences in stadium size?

Whereas 8% of the grounds in North America works out as follows:

 

City	Stadium	Capacity	8% allocation
Mexico City	Estadio Banorte† (Mexico City Stadium)	87,523	7,001
New York/New Jersey (East Rutherford, New Jersey)	MetLife Stadium (New York New Jersey Stadium)	82,500 (bid book: 87,157)	6,600 6,973
Dallas (Arlington, Texas)	AT&T Stadium‡ (Dallas Stadium)	80,000 (bid book: 92,967) (expandable to 105,000)	6,400 7,437 8,400 (although I doubt the full expansion will be available)
Kansas City	GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City Stadium)	76,416 (bid book: 76,640)	6,113 6,131
Houston	NRG Stadium‡ (Houston Stadium)	72,220 (expandable to 80,000)	5,777 6,400
Atlanta	Mercedes-Benz Stadium‡ (Atlanta Stadium)	71,000 (bid book: 75,000) (expandable to 83,000)	5,680 6,000 6,640
Los Angeles (Inglewood, California)	SoFi Stadium (Los Angeles Stadium)	70,240 (expandable to 100,240)	5,619 8,019 (although I doubt the full expansion will take place)
Seattle	Lumen Field (Seattle Stadium)	68,740 (expandable to 72,000)	5,499 5,760
San Francisco Bay Area (Santa Clara, California)	Levi's Stadium (San Francisco Bay Area Stadium)	68,500 (bid book: 70,909) (expandable to 75,000)	5,480 5,673 6,000
Philadelphia	Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia Stadium)	67,594 (bid book: 69,328)	5,407 5,546
Miami (Miami Gardens, Florida)	Hard Rock Stadium (Miami Stadium)	64,767 (bid book: 67,518)	5,181 5,401
Boston (Foxborough, Massachusetts)	Gillette Stadium (Boston Stadium)	64,628 (bid book: 70,000)	5,170 5,600
Vancouver	BC Place‡ (BC Place Vancouver)	54,500	5,160
Monterrey (Guadalupe)	Estadio BBVA (Estadio Monterrey)	53,500 (bid book: 53,460)	4,280
Guadalajara (Zapopan)	Estadio Akron (Estadio Guadalajara)	49,813 (bid book: 48,071)	3,985
Toronto	BMO Field (Toronto Stadium)	28,180 (expanded to 45,736)[53]	3,659

 

Based on this, it looks like 14 points will be required to secure a ticket for the smaller grounds, and 12 points for the bigger grounds.

14 might not be enough to secure one for smaller grounds as the 8% includes SFA delegates, players' families etc

[Mazziessc]

There's less than 5k members on 13 points or more. That after hangers on etc gotta get you into all games with the exception of the three small ones as clearly not everyone will go. 
12 points you gotta have a fair chance as you would need 1 in 2 uptake. Any less than 9 point's which is over 20000 members based on NE TA's graphic I'd be concerned about my chances through SFA. 

Expecting SFA to manage the pricing better too. Release each ticket category one at a time so those on higher points get first dibs at the lowest prices.

Market forces dictate that the third party tickets won't be much different than the SSC tix in terms of price.

They will if demand is high and FIFA stick to dynamic pricing. £60 for a SCO v ARG ticket via SFA vs £100s on FIFA Viagogo etc.

Unfortunately, the USA doesn't have the same supporter culture as Germany, where there was a concerted effort to force UEFA to price-cap the tickets, as well make sure the cheapest category was reserved for the supporters' allocation in a pretty decent part of the stadium.

FIFA will be able to apply price-gouging and put the travelling support's allocations away up in the top tiers in the corners without a second's hesitation.

[Diamond Scot]

Im on 12 points which is 9350 members. Given that alot of those will be people who only normally go to home games then im hoping I should be able to get a ticket to at least 1 or 2 of the group games depending on the stadiums.

The Dutch have said 70% of their allocation will go directly to the fans.

The other 30% is for hanger ons and players family/ associates etc 

 

I suspect we will be similar.

So Toronto, smallest stadium, actual fans will get 2500.

Shouldn't be a percentage for the corporate/associates etc, should just be a set number, and that number should not be too high either! 70% to the real fans is a disgrace, essentially giving your own fans an allocation of just over 5% of the capacity!

Each country should be entitled to minimum 15% allocation, with any unsold then being sold on.

This, combined with the prices and general contempt FIFA has for fans leaves a sour taste. It would really put you off going, and that's before we even talk about how much of a rip off USA is.

[Wee Man]

Scotlands Coefficient has done a good piece of work trying to estimate what the SSC members may get

[NE TA in the weeg]

If those are the final numbers, that's a disgraceful allocation for such large stadia.  We'll have had bigger sections for normal away days during the qualifiers in most campaigns.

I think available SSC tix will be $300+, I think they won't be much more on the open market.

Surely the fact we only get 8% leaves enough for the locals and hangers on? Do they really need to scalp 10,000 seats first? That seems extreme even for FIFA.
