Christophe Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Ticket portal opened today for applications. Any optimists tempted with the nation packages? You can apply for 3,4 or 7 game packages for any country that is still in the running to qualify, rather than guessing/waiting for group draws. Cheapest seats 3 game Scotland package comes in at £167. £244 if you fancy us to get to the last 16. And if you are a complete lunatic and fancy us to be contesting the final you can see the lot for £1,187.

Jambomo Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Just applied for Scotland tickets. I did the 7 game package, wonder what happens should the unthinkable happen and we don’t get to the final? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 The SFA allocation if we qualify will more than cover the amount of people who will travel so there doesn't seem much point in applying now. Accommodation seems to be the bigger issue than getting tickets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I'm going to look for an ingeniously cheap way of doing it, like stopping in Zanzibar between games or something, but I doubt there is one. The tartan army could get it together to hire a big cruise ship but that's unlikely too, and would probably be horrific. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Wouldn't go near this tournament. Saving up for Germany 2024.... We should (fingers crossed) have a great chance to qualify. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip but more likely I'll use Bahrain as a base.Yerevan in Armenia also a decent option as there are quite a few low cost airlines over in the middle east now which brings into play lots of other countries Oman being another decent and compared with the rest of the middle eastern countries a cheaper option than Dubai 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 ATAC put up a link regarding accommodation in Qatar for the World Cup. There's no prices yet and nothing can be booked until March, looks like there'll be cruise ship hotels and camping in fan villages along with the usual hotels and apartments. https://www.qatar2022.qa/book 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampden Diehard Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I can imagine the fan villages won't be cheap and, let's face it, it's not going to be a big bevvy event. Will the Qataris be happy at what will end up looking like a refugee camp? This is not a tournament for punters. For the first time ever, I'm not even entertaining the thought of going if we qualify. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anfield 1977 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) Agreed. attended each tournament we've been at since Spain and I just don't fancy this at all. So we're bound to qualify. 2026 is much more appealing. Edited January 27, 2022 by Anfield 1977 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbaxters Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 One big plus is the vicinity of the stadia. It should be possible to take in every game of the tournament if you're there. The new Metro system is great which is just as well as the traffic is horrendous. The locals are going to have to put up with it for the month as getting the tournament has put them on the map for every other international sport. It will be a different tournament from the others but not as much as people think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if any slaves die whilst the tournament is going on or if they will be hidden by then. Hope folk going are packing their rainbow flags to bring some colour to the desert. To a similar end if we qualify I hope our away strip is a rainbow kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the UK there are people who have to rely on food banks. Making anyone involved in a football tournament feel guilty about the host countries politics won't do any good.
