EddardStark Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Is there any point in actualy applying for tickets via the SSC? Many fans arrived to find their seats taken by other fans who had similar problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swetchymaboy Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Correct, its getting worse, me and 2 mates arrived to find our seats taken, I asked them to move as it was our seats, they refused and this went on for about 15 mins, eventually they moved as things were getting quite heated........... 1 day this will cause a punch up.

Jimbo Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Sadly some if not many feel they can sit where the like.As you say it's going to end up in a punch up one these times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimstroma Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Nominated seats are fine if the stewarding in the stadium enforces it. If not it becomes a free for all as people want to sit with their mates or they can't find there seat. It would be a lot easier if seats were not nominated.

Flure Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) I got on the train today at Duisberg heading for Amsterdam. We had a group booking and discovered that people were sitting in our six pre-allocated seats. I told them that they were sitting in our seats and asked if they would mind moving so that we could take them. One guy said that the same had happened to them. He showed me his tickets where their seat numbers were clearly printed and said that some people were sitting in their seats. I asked how someone sitting in their seats had become our problem. He agreed and moved and went to deal with the issue he had in the first place rather than passing it on to us. Nice guy, saw the logic and I thanked him.

Jimbo Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Nominated seats are fine if the stewarding in the stadium enforces it. Nominated seats are fine and wouldn,t be a problem if supporters actually sat in the ones they were allocated.Fortunately some who are in the wrong seats are happy to move when asked,unfortunately some are not and that's when the problem arises Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three sentences and all trying to blame someone or something for a situation that is entirely caused by the selfishness of our own supporters. I honestly couldn't believe the situation in section 57, both stairwells to the main exit blocked meaning there must have been some amount of people sitting in the wrong seats. I also assumed the ones standing at the railings were without seats, surely you wouldn't just stand there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deecie Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I'd reserved seats out of Dortmund yesterday, but when I got onto my (delayed) train there was a women with 5 kids sitting around our table. Felt really good kicking them out so that I had somewhere to drink a few beers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoonTheSlope Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Too many people with German end tickets must've got in the away side. There was not a seat to be seen. The aisle and exits were murder polis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Happens in germany a bit I think. I travelled from bochum to westerland on sylt yesterday and had bother with a russian in my seat. Got him telt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jailender Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 4 of our group had German end tickets and they all got in to the Scotland end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 4 of our group had German end tickets and they all got in to the Scotland end.You were free to wander about once you got in. I was wondering why I was the only Scotland fan in the karzis then realised I was in the 'home end' facilities. I must admit I was guilty of not taking up my designated seat till the second half.

scottincarlisle Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 You were free to wander about once you got in. Once I had staggered my way up to the back of section 58 there was no way I could manage any wandering about. Some hike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macy37 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 The row I was in had at least 4 folk in it that simply wanted to stand with their mates.What is all that about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus_Young Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Some right fairies in our support these days eh? I think this is one of the first away days where I've actually been in my designated seat. A few lads next to us had just piled in though. No big deal IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Rubble Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 The row I was in had at least 4 folk in it that simply wanted to stand with their mates.What is all that about? Lack of manners. It's not difficult, there's a seat number printed on your ticket, so that's where you sit to watch the game. You want to sit with your mates, then book your tickets under one name. Strathclyde's finest would move them if they tried that at Hampden or any of the other venues the SFA are renting for this campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoonTheSlope Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 There's seat numbers for a reason. The aisle and exit at section 58 was an utter shambles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sempre Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Too many people with German end tickets must've got in the away side. There was not a seat to be seen. The aisle and exits were murder polis I was near the back of section 75 and there were loads of empty seats. Dunno why the people who should have been there went elsewhere as the view was cracking.
