Picking up 1230 tickets should be easy but as DTS says it's too much hassle for them. Delay the sale to say Monday and get their house in order first before having the usual 10% or so pick up is the only real solution. Saying it takes two weeks I just can't buy. A week is more than enough time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alloa1878SC Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Cant see any home end potential yet (no ticket links online), hopefully that will change in the near future. They havent sold out their ground in the entire campaign, so I live in hope. Expect them to lose at Wembley, so provided we win against Slovakia (or scoreline reversal ) every potential of scoring a ticket over there if forced to play the waiting game.

Given the increase in numbers of staff and new (?) technology there is still no excuse for this truly appalling level of service. Am interested in getting in on the ATAC gig you mentioned earlier if there are cushy privileges involved. Can you give me some details?

Points do not become active until 15th September, by which time the tickets will be sold and likely posted out. Makes a bit more sense now.

Mazziessc Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 I don't agree. It reads it takes two weeks to add and won't be considered for any match "within this period" the Slovenia game isn't within this period. It's actually three weeks after. Therefore wait till 15th and sell the tickets. Plenty of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolhibby Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 The consideration for the Away match in clause 55 refers to any subsequent sales period. (Starting at 12:30 tomorrow). That's how I read it. Not the game in question itself. I presume that's exactly how it is interpereted in SSC towers. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It specifically says 'away match'. This would be sensible if we had an away double header where you wouldn't get the point from the first game to apply for the second game. That is not unreasonable. We have away games pretty much every September and October, at least over the last 3 years and this hasn't came up before. Why now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it happened last year at some point, France game and another if memory serves but like Belgium/Wales the gap was short. Not like the 5 weeks between Lithuania/Slovenia. As someone else pointed out they haven't even had to update this since after Wembley. It's just nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
