blackcountry jock Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Ok just for clarification I have just come off the phone to the sfa the cancelation tickets will be given out like this..... Those on waiting list with most points will be given priority then it will go on first come first basis so basically if you have 3 points and below the list with someone on 2 points the 3 pointer will jump the que but if 5 people on 3 points ( or same points) then tickets will go In order on list have been told to expect a call either today or tommorow as they have hundreds of cancelled tickets and are working through the list btw I'm on 1 point so looking good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so Georgia will be another game where any member who wanted a ticket will get one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so Georgia will be another game where any member who wanted a ticket will get one! I seriously doubt there have been hundreds of cancellations. As most of the tickets will be posted there won't be hundreds, unless they are having a 100% pick up and they've fooled us all. That said I might have to cancel myself but won't know until Friday. And I elected to collect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcountry jock Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Put it this way I'm 164 on the list and have been told to expect a phone call either today or tommorow..... If it was only a few they wouldn't have a waiting list they would just do what they normally do sell them to first person that phones up...... And do you honestly believe 2000+ want/are going to this games ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Well Plaid Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Put it this way I'm 164 on the list and have been told to expect a phone call either today or tommorow.....

And do you honestly believe 2000+ want/are going to this games ??? I was 66th on the waiting list, and have 0 points. If it is true that people with higher number of points will jump the system again, then that sucks farts. If people had 3, 4, 5 points, whatever it is, then they had a window to apply. Like many others, I'm trying to get back on the points ladder, but it's increasingly difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsno1 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I am on 1 point and got tickets for myself and 2 zero pointers this morning. I eamiled them 2 days ago asking about cancellations and got told to call this morning. They did say there are no more at this time. Keep calling or emailing is my suggestion.

radian_13 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Waiting list should be first come first serve. Points shouldn't move you up the waiting list, that's poor imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do you honestly believe 2000+ want/are going to this games ???No I don't believe they are but the vast majority that are cancelling had no intention of going in the first place. So unless the sfa got lucky with the randomly select collections, I don't see there being hundreds of cancellations Edited August 25, 2015 by tam4ritchie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EIFA10 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Waiting list should be first come first serve. Points shouldn't move you up the waiting list, that's poor imo I tend to agree. I am saying that as a complete outsider. I'm not going to this game but on 5 points. The high pointers had their chance. The waiting list should be first come first served.

tartanpar Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 It sounds like it doesn't matter what method they are using as everyone who wants a ticket is going to get one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagtag Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I was 66th on the waiting list, and have 0 points.

Like many others, I'm trying to get back on the points ladder, but it's increasingly difficult. How many people though do you think are on enough points but missed the purchase windows? I would take a guess at about 5 or less. You are talking as though there are hundreds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like many others, I'm trying to get back on the points ladder, but it's increasingly difficult. That's the whole point of points. As Blackcountry Jock said "Ok just for clarification I have just come off the phone to the sfa the cancelation tickets will be given out like this.....

It looks like 0 pointers are getting tickets, so I reckon everyone will be fine. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 A 1 pointer in our group called up & got his ticket sorted. To collect it in Tblisi. Happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcountry jock Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) I think they are doing it on a daily basis so for example if today they had 20 tickets 6 folk on 2+ points ( regardless of where they are on list) they get first tickets the other 14 go to 1 pointers on a first come basis and so on... Bit unfair as already stated so it is a bit like a lottery if no high pointers want a ticket when they giving them out then 1/0 pointers have a chance.... Under a week until I fly out getting twitchy arse syndrome lol Edited August 25, 2015 by blackcountry jock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are talking as though there are hundreds. You may be right, and it's only a handful. What I'm saying is whether it is 1 or 101, it is wrong if these guys are being moved up a waiting list, which should be first come, first served.
