Because we will be guaranteed to have half the stadium then if the junkies don't fill there's then there will be a ballot for the remainder. That's my thinking anyway and they shouldn't get half as they had 8000 at most games they have played this year. Imo our ST holders should all get 1 and they could get what's left and all their ST holders would be guaranteed 1. It's fair right across the board, the 2 teams contesting the final should be allocated a ticket for each of their supporters then every1 is happy. Us v them could be moved to murrayfield for a final and we r still guaranteed a ticket each. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will still get a 50/50 split for glory hunting grannies and wee cunts who haven't been to a match since 19 canteen. Rotten to the core and corrupt cunts who run Scottish Football.

fergiebubs 67 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I can see valid points for each side of the argument. Why not put all those who missed out for the semi-final into a ballot, but only draw 50% for definite tickets. Then put the remaining unsuccessful 50% into a further ballot with all that did get a ticket for the semi-final? This would guarantee those who were unfortunate not to get a ticket first time around a higher all-round chance of a final ticket without completely taking away the chance for those who did. I know it's not perfect, but might be away of being a bit fairer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyscott1963 18,293 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Instead of fighting each other for a ticket we should tell the SFA to shove the tickets unless they dish them out on merit,which means per season ticket holder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
folkestoneger 8,135 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 If this is true it would greatly increase my chance of a ticket. I can't make the match so will just keep the ticket to pin on my wall. just kidding. If I get one I will take it and guarantee someone on this site will get to use it Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueretro 704 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I would very much doubt this is true. Even though I missed out in the ballot for the semi-final I think it's only fair that all season ticket holders that want to attend the final should be included in the ballot.

Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I actually think this isn't a bad idea. Season ticket holders who were lucky to get a Celtic ticket were not complaining then, so what gives them the divine right to a final ticket. For every person who had one there were another 2 wanting them. This would mean the season ticket holders are being valued. It would be really unfair on any season ticket holder to miss out twice.

livibear101 248 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Good decision by the club they were never going to be able to please all ST holders and this at least gives the unlucky last time a chance ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 The sooner they get a loyalty scheme in place the better. 1. CCCS 2. Loyalty scheme with points for home matches/away/cups and Europe. When there's no enough tickets and the CCCS have been satisfied then just take the fans with the most points and give them the tickets, they've earned it. Season ticket holders are automatically awarded points for all the home matches and away ones that they have been allocated. Either Rangers or your bus convener can keep track of your points tally, whichever is appropriate. When I was on my supporters bus both as a kid then as an old cunt they always worked like that. Won't take a ticket for Firhill or Rugby Park? You're no getting one for the piggery then. No-one ever complained back then and they wouldn't now, always been the fairest way to do it, drawing names out a hat is brutal. It's not ground breaking, just common fucking sense.

Bydo 3,215 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Bullshit No chance this is happening. A ballot is a ballot. You might be really lucky and get both, or be unlucky and get none.

1690tamRFC 5,001 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 As much as it won't matter to me, and I can see where the club is coming from, I honestly believe the fairest way to do it is in the same way as the SF ballot where every full ST holder gets a chance to get a ticket.

Now for the final everyone doesn't have the same chance,half of the poeple are instantly excluded just because they were a little more fortunate than others. It's nonsense. Again,I'll have a ticket regardless but this isn't the right way to distribute tickets. My two STs were unsuccesful for the SF but you have to agree with this. Bizarre approach by the club if true Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brubear 2,920 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 As someone who missed out on the SF ballot I am going to benefit from this if they choose to go this route, but I have to say I am surprised and actually don't agree with it. It should be pot luck for all full ST holders who are not on CCCS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
