They've done a great job securing 25% of the ground and made clear that's all we're getting. An excellent job all round I'd say. The difference is at least people who miss out know why , if they won't give us any more fair enough but it would be nice to know if they even tried to get more . You obviously find it impressive to "negotiate" 25% of a stadium which will probably be half empty even with us in it but it's the least they can do for SSC members who pay their fifty quid and might want a ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debian Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 There's been plenty of opportunities in this membership of 16/17 to get on the ladder. Stop yer greeting and get on with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're just looking for reasons to complain. If they'd published all their correspondence with the Malta FA you'd just moan about something else. As always, if you want tickets for popular games, go to unpopular ones. Like the game we played in Malta 6 weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I then added my boy to the list as well. I then asked where we were on the list and was told numbers 76 and 77 I'm guessing everytime someone with a higher points tally they go on higher on the list?

Malfaetheburgh Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Got 2 in the section advertised on Malta FA site, did an e mail to them on Monday and they responded straight away, saying if would be an open sale and they stated home and neutral tickets would be available. I e mailed the SSC last night to ask where they were with extra tickets and if they even tried, still waiting on a response! pretty poor service with the cost of the membership. Not a problem with the points system as I don't go to many away games, but regardless would expect them to make a bit of effort for the lower pointers who pay the same membership fee, or at least say they were knocked back/didn't bother asking, instead of the wall of silence. Btw most of these 25Euro tickets are just about gone looking at the site map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Laud Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Doesnt affect me as im on 7 points but surely the sfa can come out with a statement to their own supporters on why they cant get tickets for said members while the Maltese fa sell tickets to Scotland fans.

I know, it's shide. Malta selling tickets to Scotland fans (at over double the price) is just a slap in the face. It also smacks of the SFA not trying their arse to do anything to help low pointers get on the ladder. Why would a home FA just disregard totally the allocation system is beyond me.

washboarder Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) Dont know, perhaps someone can clarify, Do the ssc have to pay for tickets up front from other nations?. If so that would be the answer to many of the questions supporters ask re shortage of tickets. and why they dont over subscribe. As when people who return tickets at last minute the ssc would be left with unsold tickets. hope someone can enlighten me. I think this reason would be plausable cheers Edited August 3, 2016 by washboarder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAY Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 (edited) Just bought tickets for the "Scotland section" via the Malta FA. Looks like we have quite an allocation via the Malta FA, whole upper tier of section A. So it's the posh seats hence the price of 25 euros. I contacted the SSC about additional tickets today and told it was highly unlikely they will get. How can this be when Malta are selling them to us directly? The main issue is not getting the "away" point for this game like so many others who missed out via the SSC allcation. Any hoo, tickets are printed off and now and raring to go Edited August 3, 2016 by SAY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I responded to the poll advising I was going but still missed out getting a ticket via the SSC. Whats the point in the poll if folk who are going (and see the email for the poll) can't be bothered to reply and the SSC use the poll as the indicator to how many tickets they require. what about those who say yes upfront getting allocated a ticket if the number allocated exceeds that figure and then offer the remaining tickets to those who didn't reply to the poll. just a thought!

I'm on 9 points , so i've been at both ends of the points ladder , and don't need a lecture from you on how to get there , i just don't take the i'm all right Jack approach you clearly do .You don't know me , so you keep happy clapping the SFA and i'll complain if i feel there's a reason Edited August 3, 2016 by tattiescone69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalgety Bay TA Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I don't know the exact lay out of the stadium and haven't looked into the Malta FA sale of tickets in the "neutral zone" but is there any chance that the number of tickets the SFA have received accounts for the whole of the actual away end, hence why that's all the tickets they have officially ended up with? The Maltese FA then sell other tickets, not in our away end, to anyone who wants one ie mainly other Scotland fans. I know it sounds daft but you never know with FIFA/UEFA regulations nowadays but its possible due to segregation requirements that we couldn't have officially got any more tickets? Someone with a better idea of the stadium lay out will have a better idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other actions would mean you're either "alright Jack" or a "happy clapper". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
