I get that but this goes totally against the spirit of the SSC and its terms and conditions. Surely they could have made that clear or at least discouraged it in some way. This way they are basically condoning it. Quote

Probably Or the person has upped the price. 100% it was $575. I had it In my basket. Didn't buy as I think prices will crash. I need 2 tickets anyway. And the great train robbery has made me determined to get reasonably priced tickets for the games or watch it in Downtown Boston. I knew it was a great buy for somebody though. Sorry you couldn't get it for the cheaper price M8. Quote
McFadders Posted April 8 Posted April 8 15 hours ago, Souness said: Not wrong. And the SSC know who they are but won't do anything about it. That would involve FIFA letting each nation know when a PMA ticket was transferred or sold on the marketplace. Surely they aren't allowed to pass on that information? Quote

Surely they aren't allowed to pass on that information? I'd agree, although depends on the data sharing agreement between the orgs and what we signed up to. Of course, the SFA has already been a middleman to identify who's entitled to what therefore it suggests there is an 'agreement' Quote

Every SSC Member who applied for Scotland tickets with the intention of going. Has been robbed by other SSC Members who just wanted to make a fast buck. Some SSC Tickets are being sold for $2,700.

I can't imagine they were involved in the allocation of seat numbers just the cat of seats each person got. And I doubt FIFA are allowed to pass on seat numbers for each person buying PMA tickets either. FIFA make money on every ticket sold (30%) so it's in their interests for people to sell tickets on their marketplace and why anyone would pay the prices ($2700 for a football match) I just don't get. I'm convinced that nearer the time everyone will get cheaper tickets, I was the same for the Euro's and needed two tickets for the Switzerland game and managed to get them nearer the time for a ticketing site for just over £400 for both.

Only 1 man in here can answer that. And He appeared to say that the SFA would know the Members Tickets for sale from the Seat Number? (I think) Although they would be reliant on actually seeing it for sale and still would not know if it was the 1st sale or it had been re-sold. 🤣 Quote

If you want full transparency, the SFA are fully aware but there's no T&C breach - a person has agreed a contract with FIFA. Quote
kumnio Posted April 8 Posted April 8 The SSC will have no control over people selling their tickets on. FIFA have allowed it, they are pretty much encouraging it and are keen to profit off of it. If someone is mad enough to spend $2700 on a ticket to see Scotland, that's their call. UEFA allowed us to transfer tickets for Euro 2020 and Euro 2024. There were probably people selling their tickets on for those events as well. Quote

Plans fall through, circumstances change, we’ve all been there. Touting for profit and ripping off your own is an entirely different thing. These cunts should be outed and the SFA could absolutely have done something to discourage it. Quote

Sorry you couldn't get it for the cheaper price M8. I have a feeling you are right that the prices will crash. I have suspected this all along but simply didn’t want to risk* missing out so I bought at crazy prices (albeit nothing like as crazy as what’s available on the Resale site right now). (*I am taking my wee boy so watching in a bar in Boston not really a viable option so it was all or nothing for me) Quote
