Johnny Knoxville Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Pretty sure Prague was random. From memory I was the only one of our group who had to collect. As per usual! You could be right, i was very very drunk!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Prague (4-6-0) was random (but I think was a pretty high %-age asked to pick up). I got tickets for a group of 5 at the time, and all but 1 of us got tickets posted out, with the one who didn't having to pick up on match day.

doonhameronthedon Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Don't think I saw an option to get them posted. Macedonia and the Poland friendly were the last two I remember, both times I applied with the wife. Coincidence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannibal smith Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Doesn't appear to have worked for me, Ally. I seem to be selected for random pick up every other game. We all know the reason that the SSC girls select you for pick up Kirky!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannibal smith Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) They haven't twigged so far but if I do then it's cool, I'll be there, well looking forward to this one! So you are a farmer! Ha ha no I bought the farm to develop the steading buildings and now I am building houses in the paddock ?

Bristolhibby Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Pretty sure Prague was random. From memory I was the only one of our group who had to collect. As per usual! Prague was random. Me and the old man got one in the ballot. He got his posted, I had to collect. And with the hundreds of other ticketless fans queuing in the hotel landing.

macwomble Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 In 30 odd away games I have never been selected for random pick up, only when It has been a full pick up. The SSC probably assume that people from Perthshire are already fully aware of the dangers of harvesting Exactly the same for me and another three that travel with me.

And with the hundreds of other ticketless fans queuing in the hotel landing. J Prauge was a pick up for anyone who was on lowish points. The Czechs never released additional tickets until very late. So it was a big pick up. Alls well that ends, well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Only ever selected from random pick up for game in Molde. It was pretty handy though as the discounted pizza buffet was in the same place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC in Doha Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Contacted SSC & advised only members could purchase tickets. Told the lassie all booked up flights/hotel etc. still told me no chance. Anybody know, if there are tickets left for collection in Tbilisi ...will the SSC sell them to fans that have travelled & turn up at the collection point.....? Going to be gutted if travel all the way & canny get into the game!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be gutted if travel all the way & canny get into the game!!! They have done it a couple of times (Japan and Cyprus I believe) but think you had to prove you were living locally. If you are going to get one from the SSC it will probably be very late in the day.... if they have 2000 and shifted less than 1000, then could try your luck a couple of hours before kick off.

FFC in Doha Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 So looks like trying to get a home end ticket & trying to get in the away end looks like the best option .....! Fun & games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarky1606 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I would say the chances of the SSC selling you a ticket as a non member are slim to none unfortunately but I would definitely advise to turn up at the collection point and try your luck! For the Gibraltar game in Ocober there will be many Scotland fans who arent in the SSC tagging along with their mates who are to catch a few days in the sun and experience an away game (I have 3 in my group who arent members but coming along). If word got out tickets went on sale in Tbilisi to non-members it could turn into chaos with people expecting the same for Gibraltar.. The SSC won't want to be seen as having 1 rule for the Georgia game and another for the Gibraltar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsno1 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 No danger you will get one as a non SSC member. I tried to get my brother for Germany. The only way tickets will be re sold is if they have been cancelled. If it's a no show and not cancelled then it cannnot be re sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FANDABBYDOZZY Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 So looks like trying to get a home end ticket & trying to get in the away end looks like the best option .....!

snoopyhill Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 2 of my mates picked up Scotland end tickets in Croatia after Ted Christopher put a shout out in the pub and I've seen it happen at Warsaw as well. So definately worth asking around when you arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazzat Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I hope your right as I was latchy in applying for tickets and now am on a list. Back in 1997 our Aberdeen Flight was delayed which meant we missed our Tblisi flight from Heathrow so no Georgia then but hoping there are no delays this time. I can only hope. I will get into the game one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
