Debian Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Bearing in mind there was talk of the price being increased to £60, can't complain about £45. Not as if they are going to reduce it to a tenner. Thats the early bird special. The normal price will be 60 quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larky Masher Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Can't believe they're charging £3 postage per membership renewal. The stamps and envelopes are dearer in Glasgow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goozay Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 This is from the FIFA regulations in respect to the qualification games. 1. The relevant host association is responsible for the ticketing and shall manage the ticketing operations in a manner that meets all applicable security and safety standards. It shall set aside an appropriate number to be fixed by mutual agreement and in writing of complimentary and purchasable tickets for the visiting association. At least five representatives from the visiting association shall be seated in the VIP box. The visiting association shall inform the host association no later than 15 days before the match and in writing of the total number of tickets to be unused and thus returned upon arrival at the venue. 2. The host association shall, upon request and free of charge, provide FIFA with ten VIP box tickets and up to 40 category 1 tickets for each match. Such tickets shall be provided no later than 30 days prior to each match. 3. FIFA reserves the right to require certain terms and conditions to be included in the terms and conditions which apply to preliminary competition match tickets. That's an interesting change, I wonder what impact that will have on our allocations for this coming campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASTA Mick Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I'm not sticking up for the sfa in anyway but the Saturday thing is not their fault It wasn't their fault. However, their reaction to a change which made attending games more difficult and inconvenient for most fans was to put a big price increase on the tickets and include a friendly in the season ticket. If the games were priced right, all of them would be sold out. They weren't last time and we all know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we were one of the top 10 highest average attendances in the qualifiers, ahead of some big teams like Spain. Interesting considering the ticket price and we're apparently no a very good football team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamia Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 If some people dont want to pay the money, fine, thats okay, but please do not critisise the people who are happy to pay and follow their country. Sorry but those happy to pay are the reason the price increased to this level in the first place so we are quite entitled to criticise if we want. And on the freebees I don't want yet another polo shirt clogging up space in a drawer never to be worn. All I ever wanted from my membership was to be able to buy tickets - that doesn't cost the SFA £45 to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShedTA Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I'm not paying SFA prices for home games. Will still go to away games but never failed to get a ticket in the past with or without the required points so f@ck em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larky Masher Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I'm a bit torn over whether to renew or not, I certainly haven't had any real benefit from the last two memberships, the freebies are utter tat and I only really fancy the England game but I've been a member for so long I'be got some sentimental attachment to the club.

LewisEDI Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) when will the deadline be to renew? will renew just for the england home game, never been to one, sat on the phone in 99 with a stinking hangover for hrs with no joy, looking at the fixtures doubt i would get tickets for any away games apart from the malta game which im sure will be a 0 pointer, will just have to hope to get a wembley game spare off here ;-) Edited November 30, 2015 by LewisEDI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 The SFA got very lucky with England - it seems people are prepared to pay what is effectively a hefty premium (£45 membership) to guarantee a ticket for the England game at Hampden - especially when we could be out of the running by the time the game comes around. While still a rip-off I suppose it's only £22.50 a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teale27 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I'm not adverse to a bit of tartan tat. Don't think it would take much to work out a few freebies that supporters would fancy every couple of years. They used to give the wee z cards mini guide of the city going to which I thought were quite good and stuck in your sporran. They then scrapped that and did video on the website then scrapped that. Biggest issue for me is the underhand way they either put the price up or keep it the same....but give you less for it. In fairness a membership fee that gave u proper and decent discount on your home ticket would be the best reward. If they don't want to give sensible prices for all at least do it for the elite!!!
