Falkirk bear 1,020 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Just noticed on club website in the ticket information section that a ballot to be held for fans signed up for the above scheme, saying that it depends on previous attending for this tournament. Just wondering if any fellow bears can ever rememember this happening before? I can't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanzmeanzheinz 4,312 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Obviously it's too many cccs applicant against what tickets they will get. So if anyone lapsed on a home ticket earlier this season then they're bottom of the list.That's how I read it - which if correct is fair enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CF2 WINNIE 1,006 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Fingers crossed get one in ballot so more from RSC get as id be guaranteed one from bus. Well done to ticket office though right thing to do priority going to those who've been to all games Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueretro 704 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 What does this part mean? "Special Match Applications have been sent for this fixture and the deadline date for the return of applications is Monday 3 October, ticket allocations will be confirmed shortly thereafter. Payment will be taken from week commencing Monday 3 October." Supporters clubs maybe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

j1mgg 3,766 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 So you not get kicked off of cccs after two returned tickets/payment failures. Think I just ticked all the boxes, so should be fine. I don't think there was a huge number at the QoS game, so must be enough tickets to go round.

jintybear 8,535 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Surely a lot of the 20000 cccs will have signed up after the QOTS game so hopefully even if you've only been to a couple of the games on cccs then you'll get a ticket Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how many of those who singed up after the qos game will "opt out" if they don't get one for this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,277 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 So does this mean we're now penalising folk that have paid for a ticket but perhaps couldn't go for whatever reason? Wow. If so talk about moving goalposts. Wish we could be revolutionary and tell folk our ballot rules / criteria before a season starts and then stick to it. And I say that as someone whose been fortunate in the draws so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be extremely disappointed if it don't get one since I haven't rejected a ticket in the cccs in all the time I have been on it, plus technically pay for all home cup games.

"Please note a ballot will be required for those on Semi Final / Final Priority, the ballot will be based on attendance of previous rounds in the competition. Payment will be taken from week commencing Monday 3 October." Yeah maybe just ambiguous in the wording. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueretro 704 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 It would be nice if the club could give more information on this. Something like, if you signed up at the start you are guaranteed a ticket, if you signed up before QOS you will be balloted with a favourable chance of getting a ticket. If you signed up after QOS, sorry all the tickets are gone, you won't be in the ballot. That's obviously not set in stone, and is based on absolutely nothing.

ShanksRFC 3,866 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Looks fairly clear to me that if you ticked all home games you will get a ticket? T ballots only for those on semi final/ final and then your chances in ballot are based on tickets bought prior in the cup. Doubt it will matter if you actually attended the games.

The CCCS closing date stayed the same as previous seasons. It should probably have been changed to stop this happening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn't tick only semi-final and final. You had to tick all home games as a minimum to get that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

foghorn leghorn 608 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Years ago it was easier for the club to dish out tickets to ST holders through the CCS scheme by probably pressing a button, an address was printed on an envelope, a ticket inserted and posted. Job done. We applied for all away games knowing only 4/5 tickets would be issued and gave most to the supporter's club and through CCS we got Manchester tickets.

Aye, you can tick just one option on a paper form and when they receive it back they put it in the bin because it states clearly you can only select semis and finals if you've also selected the home games one. They will basically look at how many games anyone on the CCCS has got tickets for already, those that signed up early, or have signed up now but also bought tickets for every previous game wont be in the ballot in all likelihood because there will be more tickets than those people so they'll just get one and they'll keep doing the same until they get to a group (maybe folk now on CCCS who have missed 2 games) that outnumber the number of tickets left and they'll be balloted. With the numbers being thrown about I'd be pretty confident that anyone who signed up after the last game and who hasn't attended any previous games has no chance at all.
