  • A bizarrely short window of time allowed to actually buy tickets, yet again.

  • Will have 12 caps by the time of the game and have missed out, yet loads of people who have zero caps have got tickets. Not overly impressed to be honest. Surely given that we gave Scotland 14,000 at Wembley, The FA could secure the extra few hundred tickets it would take to satisfy demand?

  • I think it's a disgrace that the Scottish FA can't or won't satisfy our members requirements. Considering only 5805 registered their interest the FA should insist our allocation requirements are met.

    Time for FIFA to intervene I think.

  • Why would the Scottish FA want to satisfy our fans when they will have just as high demand from their own supporters. The allocation is about right given the size of the ground and the segregation that is required so can't see how blame can be put on the Scottish FA. Its not their fault that our own FA were more than happy to offer 15k tickets to the Scots in November.

  • You say why would Scotland satisfy the demand when they don't need to......well why on earth did we give them so many....everyone assumed it was because it would be reciprocated but they have just screwed us, like Johnathan said only 5000 odd applied they actually got away lightly with giving us that but they must be rolling around laughing at how they have stitched England up! If we only gave them 4K at Wembley it would still have sold out!!! We just assumed there had been an agreement! It stinks.two of us with tickets two of us without! Sort it out FA or at least give us assurances that if they ever come down here again they will be given the bare minimum required by competition rules

  • Would we have sold out if we only gave them 4k? Possibly but it would have meant a lot more Scots in the home end which is one of the reason I reckon the FA decided to give them more tickets. I doubt there was any sort of deal regarding ticket numbers and at the end of the day given the size of the ground 4.5k is still a good allocation. There was always going to be more demand than tickets for this game so the FA were never going to be able to please everyone.

  • If I'm reading correctly then us that have missed out on this ballot won't get priority if any go on general sale. Surely the FA can at least give us 1st option on any unclaimed tickets?

  • I'm sure the Scottish fa said they would reciprocate the 15 %

  • Do Caps still get allocated for matches that are over subscribed?. I've now missed out on Scotland and Germany tickets so will potentially get knocked down the Caps table if so and therefore making it less likely to get tickets for up coming games.

  • Come on the Scottish FA. Increase the allocation by 1000 please and we will all be happy! Got euro tickets but not this time - the luck of the draw I suppose.

  • I currently have 11 caps and missed out yet a friend of mine gets a ticket with only 7 caps so I this 16 caps cut off point is rubbish

  • Simon - you need to understand how the ballot works! 16 caps is the cut off to be in the top 70% and guaranteed a ticket, everyone on 15 caps and below goes into the draw for the remaining 30% of tickets. Your mate got lucky and you didn't.

  • two games in a row now, i've missed out, how can i build my caps, if 2 games in a row i've missed out on the ballot

  • Apparently there was 2 emails sent to away travel members, which I am. However I recieved neither email and only saw there was a ballot today. To say I am upset is an understatement!

  • Cassidy - home games plus second chance sales plus games that won't sell out (e.g. France away)
