Been holding out for this as both my brothers are under 18 and wanted to take them somewhere they could still be in amongst it for the England game. Fingers crossed I can get tickets now... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Clicks on link to see some VL with 55 in their username whining about Rangers bring discriminated against.Leaves satisfied.Probably because GCC and the SG know 6000 Scotland fans won’t run riot over the city and destroy George Square while knocking 7 shades of shite out each other [emoji23] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 That link says available to book from Tuesday. Have downloaded the new Euro 2020 app and that still says "keep an eye out" on their "festival" section. Does anyone know what time they will be available tomorrow? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 Also I have followed the link from ticket confirmation email, and am now in a massive queue, similar to the original ballot where there is a red bar showing progress to being allowed into the portal. Am assuming everyone is just checking at once, but sitting like a clown watching it through FoMO on something! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaves satisfied. Not to get drawn on a "Rangers have been wronged" type debate, but I genuinely think domestic football fans across the board have been unfairly treated. We are seeing instances where only 500 fans are being allowed to attend a match tonight in Kilmarnock yet in less than 3 weeks time we will see up to 12,000 fans inside Hampden with an additional 6,000 allowed into a fan zone. It just simply doesn't make sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't bother waiting, it just lists your ticket and order numbers, but those were up last week, there isn't any useful new info that isn't in the Email 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be amazed if there’s any left as there was less than 130 and they went on offer at 10am. Or is it directly through UEFA? Fingers crossed you get one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 No, the original UEFA ballot. Only left with 1 Croatia ticket after the refunds. And the email says "we are happy to inform you some of your tickets are still valid"....so I know it's ok. Just want to see it in black and white! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just simply doesn't make sense.The attendances should have been a bit higher and it’s probably more UEFA that are driving the push for fans and a fan-zone rather than the SG who would probably reduce the numbers if they could as they’ve been very cautious about large gatherings. Domestic fans haven’t helped their cause obviously Rangers fans have had a couple of high profile gatherings against the rules but not fair to just blame them as at the height of lockdown Celtic were gathering at Parkhead to demand Lennon’s resignation and I’m sure there’ll have been others at various clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there's not a lot I can disagree with there. I think one of the issues I have is that we were essentially told that Hampden would not be able to host Euro matches if there were no fans allowed. All of a sudden we were then confirming 12,000 could attend with a "special dispensation" of reduced physical distancing which has not been replicated for domestic football. I think this casts a bit of doubt on the whole cautious approach as it seems like they simply agreed to forego their own restrictions just because UEFA were threatening to withdraw Hampden as a host venue and no doubt the money that goes with it would vanish as well.

Billy Jean King Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I don't think it is 6000 capacity. It's 6000 in a day but there are 2 "sessions" each day so it could on be 3000 per session. All seated and socially distanced also suggests 6000 "seats" which would seem unlikely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just simply doesn't make sense. It looks like some additional risks are being accepted because the alternative was Scotland losing the opportunity to play two European Championship matches on home turf. It could be the difference between us ever making it out of a group and not. There's no other sports thing going on in the country that comes close to that. I'm surprised at the fan zone being confirmed with the amount of uncertainty just now due to rising infection in Glasgow and the Indian variant. They say it's 3,000 at a time and they'll be in allocated seating, but it's still a lot of people going for drinks and to the toilets simultaneously at half time. If the Covid situation isn't much better in Glasgow by then I wouldn't be surprised to see it scaled back or cancelled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem content to allow fans in at Hampden because it suits certain needs, whether it be financial, home advantage or whatever really, which doesn't really add up with the messages of caution and firm stance on domestic football they've adopted on the grounds of health and safety. They can't claim it is unsafe to have substantial numbers of domestic fans attending matches while simultaneously making an exception for the Euro matches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
