tartanpar Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 sections 501 and 502 hold aprox 1400 travel cluc section aprox 3150 sfa hospitality and sponsors aprox 1000 abbey 4 sections aprox 1800 thg aprox 600 plus whatever are scattered through rest of ground think the guys saying 10k-12- wont be far wrong There is no way the SFA hospitality and sponsors will be anywhere near 1000.

washboarder Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) they wont tell us will they , from what I am aware all clubs get so many tickets, the sfa ,sponsors corporate, wives and girlfriends and families + hanger ons. also if you take full squad plus backroom staff and player tickets for them should be in region at least 6 each so that alone would be two hundred.i believe they have 127 128 129 sections, perhaps im wrong maybe someone with clout with ssc sfa would give us an idea if these figures are wrong cheers.

deecie Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Everytime I've had comps (but once) - they've been in with the normal away support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washboarder Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 so they give comps in away section while paying members on three points canny get a ticket its just no cricket. No one loves a comp ticket more than me but when we are oversubscribed I think common sense should prevail. ps I am not on three point so its not a personal grievance I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition visiting associations are entitled to purchase up to 200 top-category tickets (unless otherwise agreed between the two associations in question) for their VIP supporters, sponsors, etc. I have never had a comp ticket for an away Scotland game but I know a few people that have and they have always been in the normal away section.

washboarder Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 cheers tartanpar for clarifying above. can anyone confirm that Scotland have been allocated section 127-129 as these sections did not seem to be on sale for the polish game maybe gtr can confirm if away fans were allocated those sections for previous games cheers again lads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robroysboy Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Donegal lad was saying abbey get 15 percent of tickets, think he was reffering to away allocation not home ? Could this be the abbey home section ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends who we play. Some comps are in with the normal away section, but I know of lots of games where they have been in the posh seats.

@neaver82 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 No chance. Thats what you said about the Gibraltar attendance whjen people were quoting 30k+ and you were wrong. I think washboarder will be about right except for the amount he has estmated for SFA sponsors. I have spoken to THG and Abbey and they have said its 99% Scotland fans in both. 501 and 502 are virtually all Scotland fans plus our official allocation. Plus I am running two buses and I know plenty who are travelling on that have had to buy tickets elsewhere in the ground so 10k+ is more than realistic.

I totally agree that it is not unrealistic to expect 10k+ of us in the Aviva Stadium. The way things look to be it could well be 12k - there will be more travelling too and may pick up tickets on the day. I would be interested to know why Washboarder thinks there is 'no chance' of this attendance being the case? Everything indicates that it will be 10k+. Do you think there will be 5k for example?

wanderer Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 TBH I am expecting no more than 7-8k to be in the stadium, and numbers in Dublin not being much higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about the figures quoted in hospitality. There will be about 8-10k in ground but hospitality ones are an overestimate imo. The sponsors tickets etc is pie in the sky stuff too.

The hospitality isn't an overestimate though as it has been confirmed by both companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I think there will be more Scotland fans watching it in a venue in Glasgow than are in the Aviva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleSC Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 It depends who we play. Some comps are in with the normal away section, but I know of lots of games where they have been in the posh seats. There were sponsor tickets handed back to SSC for the Germany game which were sold over the phone on a 'who called and asked basis'. They were for seats on the half way line and not in with the away section. I would like to think 10,000 is not too far away with a good few more in the pubs of Dublin.

mooneynulson Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Using the Seville calculator, 29500 inside the stadium with 47,000 more locked out. Or the Manchester calculator 200,000 traveling fans minus all the trouble of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casey777 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Realistically 10-12k fans in stadium with 17k-20k in Dublin as it seems everyone I speak with is after the gold dust tickets . Could also see near the stadium full of ticket touts so maybe a few hundred more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newryrep Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) selling very well by all accounts and the presale offer hasn't even been opened to independent season ticket holders ( which again the FAI in their wisdom continue to shaft ) doubt there will be a general sale Edited April 24, 2015 by Newryrep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
