blackcountry jock Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 You should very went to more games then in the past ? Family work etc has stopped me from becoming a member for last few years but now a member not whinging about missing out on a ticket because of fans in more points that tough titty on my part moaning about the point that approx 40-50% of folk buying tickets have no intention of going yet us "newbies" who have forked out a small fortune might miss out because of them not having a dig at anyone who are genuinely going and if there is 20,000 ssc members in tblisi and I can't get a Scotland end ticket then fair play you won't hear me whinge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speiro7 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 2x 8 pointers not going to this one. Its mental how so many low pointers looking at going to this one. Been going to zero points for years now barring a few games( if I can remember right) so surely could use those games to build up. Every football club/ association has similar issues. We moan about it every game now. We have improved massively, now with France and England round corner scramble for points. Harvesting tickets happens all over the place. Think read Man U clamping down on it. These regulars buying tickets every week and shifting them. It's just the way it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slasher Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I'm on 0 pts. Haven't had an official brief for years. This one should have been a shoe in but too many harvesters and the SFA don't give a flying as long as its cash up front. Of course I'll get a ticket anyway but that's not the point. Yet again I'm wondering if its worth being in SSC at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're either trolling or haven't been to any games and got nothing to moan about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagtag Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Of course it stinks. 1451 sold to 3400 4-10 pointers. I would have thought that those figure should be about right. If 100% of 10 pointers, 90% of 9 pointers, 80% of 8 pointers etc travel then it stands to reason that most of the tickets will be sold to higher pointers.

Donaldo87 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Maybe I guess we'll see in 3 and a half weeks time. Would be amazed if 40/50/60 % of 4,5,6 pointers are going to this. Surely the type of game they miss. Hopefully there are 2000 Scotland fans over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win this and we just about Guarantee a play off place. Also leaves us in a great position to qualify automatically. I would be surprised if regular travellers didn't make the effort to be at this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the high-pointers I know are going (6-10 pointers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khana Lagur Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Only one person I know in the 7-10 points level is not going to this game - and that's cos his wife wants him to be there when she pops out number three child. Otherwise he'd be there. Bad family planning if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radian_13 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 This argument about harvesters is daft. Most of yous are trying to imply the 10-6 pointers are mostly harvesters yet the real travellers and the only ones who have forked out money are the 0-2 pointers!!

No chance, too expensive, too far and a hassle to get back for the Germany game on the Monday. 1K tops travelling I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I wanted to go I couldn't justify the costs for 3 of us to go to a football match. Sadly its the only game of the campaign I'll miss.

Exglasgowasc Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I'm on 9 points and have not ordered a ticket. Wont think about getting a ticket until I have booked to go. Still not done that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLOSTA Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Bought my ticket Friday but got no conformation email. So logged in again tonight and went through process again. Either user error first time round or I will get two briefs. I will of course return one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantyboy1983 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I'm guessing that when harvesters get the email asking them to collect they just contact the SFA to say they can't go anymore and the tickets can go back on sale? If they don't get the email, they get the point and don't show. You would think those who 'cannot go anymore' and contact SFA to inform them would have their cards marked and would be asked to pick up at the next away game (1 at least) in case they are 'at it' again. Obviously there will be a few people who cannot go for genuine reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
