Robroysboy Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I think the amount of harvesting has been exaggerated. I'm going for approx 1800 making the trip. So less than 200 trying it. I am going for 1000 travelling and 1000 at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleSC Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 lack of dedication Would have loved to have went. Annoying as we can afford it cash wise but not time off work wise. As previously said, could do with the point but won't harvest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottcross Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Whos going to be the first one on this message board to do an empty seat count at the game and report back on here saying that empty seats means they were harvesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnW Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 What would be interesting would be the number of people that were eligible from 10 down to 2 that never applied for tickets. Don't suppose anyone knows I'm on 7 and never applied. 3 of us on 7 points never applied Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parklife Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Why wouldn't you harvest at this game? It's only £3 a ticket and the SFA are too stingy to do an efficient ticket collection point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fyvie Fred Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Reminds me of a Skovdahl quote... Hmm. loved his logical illogical quotes "The operation was a success, but the patient died" When comparing the scoring record of some anonymous Don 'here today gone tomorrow' and Henrik Larsson after 2 games.... "Statistics are like mini-skirts - they give you great ideas, but hide the most important bits" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khana Lagur Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 For all their faults, the SFA aren't oblivious to ticket harvesting. They know it's games like this that will attract harvesters which is why they don't say in advance how many random pick-ups there will be. Looking back over recent campaigns the figure for random pick-up has been roughly a third-to-a-half the ticket number sold - so I'd expect about 700-1000 to be asked to collect. Bear in mind there were approx 1400 Scots end tickets used in 2007. In Molde, 500 SSC tickets were sold and 200 members were given random pick-up. Of the 500 sold there were just under 420 actually used - so about 16% of tix were effectively harvested. In Koper, the SSC got roughly 650 tickets and of the approx 175 that were asked to collect their tickets everyone did. In Luxembourg, there were almost 2200 tickets sold with roughly 750 people asked to provided travel documents post-match of which only just over 400 did. Draw your own conclusions. If it turns out there are 1000, or fewer, tickets not 'used' in Georgia the SFA (whether they care or not) will come under increased pressure to tackle harvesting from people who are actually travelling to games without , or unable to get, an official ticket and not getting any credit for it while hundreds who don't travel get their point. Particularly if we qualify and go on to have another good campaign for Russia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
