I think it's total fuckin bollocks that Wemberley hosts both semis !!! And as a previous poster stated, that is a massive advantage to engerland should they get there !! Did they no play every game at Wembley when they won it in 66? Quote

It would also be a massive advantage to Scotland if we reached the semi final stage and it was being staged at Hampden. Like wise with Wales at The Millenium and Eire at the Aviva. Thats the way the jobby splatters As I also said it will mean less travelling for fans Quote
Bristolhibby Posted July 26 Posted July 26 I can see them wanting maximise seats for semis. But seeing as the Cardiff and City of Manchester stadium are both massive, really no reason for Wembley to host both. J Quote
Contrarian Posted July 29 Posted July 29 On 7/25/2026 at 6:01 AM, biffer said: The stadium took 20k more people Exactly. As well as a guaranteed 10,000 to each FA, UEFA have said that "over 80%" of tickets will be for those allocations and general sale. If we assume 85% (which itself may be generous), that means 7,500 of Hampdens 50,000-ish capacity for dignitaries, sponsors etc. Take off the 10,000 official allocations and you have 22,500 available for the general ballot. So even if every single successful application was a Scottish one, which with a random ballot it obviously won't be, that still only comes to 32,500. I would love to be wrong, but it's just not conceivable that there will be 35,000-40,000 Scots for any of these games, host nation or not. Quote

Nor should there be for what is effectively a “neutral” venue Quote

Seems unfair if you ask me as we are one of the host nations !!! Yes. The SFA will have zero to do with the running and organisation of the matches and venue being played as it will be a UEFA venue There’ll be no long Proclaimers, Runrig Frattelis and We’ll Be Coming South Parkesque montage as it won’t be a home game. There’ll be as much Scottish fanfare as there is for the opposition. There’ll be no segregation and other than the PMA allocation the fans will be mixed Depending on when the Scottish Cup Final is scheduled that year the SFA might even have to apply to UEFA for permission for it to take place at Hampden Quote

Even had a Croatian FA ticket. Feckin Touts. Still less than I paid in the States for official SSC tickets. J Quote
Big Ramy 1314 Posted August 11 Author Posted August 11 Question troops !! Who sets the ticket prices for this tournament! I realize it is 4 Nations hosting, but I would imagine FIFA will have fuck all to do with the tournament, and UEFA will run the show? I hope FIFA is not involved ! I would imagine the host countries will get a percentage of the ticket sales? Quote

I guess the other 20 percent will be for sponsores, kick backs, and folk that know hee haw about football.. These tickets surely won't be anywhere near the price FIFA charged for the WC ???? Quote
