Last year was pathetic folk who got lucky for the semi were then put on the back burner to accommodate those who weren't lucky when it came to the final. And some didn't get any tickets for either game. Feck knows how that works out. While the ticket allocation system needs looked at the op cannot expect tickets for every game. Every cccs member deserves to be in with a chance of getting tickets therefore you got to expect to miss out sometimes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louden_Greg 827 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Supply and demand. I see often "something has to be done" but is there any specific solutions mooted that are are fairer than the ballot system? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Bob 1,360 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Three of you and not one ticket? Rather odd. Bet you folk with one ticket in the family for four years will be at the game. Your name doesnt fit by the looks of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about rewarding those who tick every box - home and away cup, away league, friendlies etc by guaranteeing them a ticket and balloting the rest to those who tick home and semis/ finals. Those who want to follow week in week out wherever we are playing will be the ones guaranteed a ticket then. Just an idea Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdybear55 72 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Has anyone spoke to the TO since the ballot and find out how they actually done it? Posted this in the semi final post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
superally07 387 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I got a ticket thankfully but I've had a season ticket with every box ticked for 12 years so id be pretty pissed off if I didn't. Simple way to fix it is similar to the travel club info remember correctly. If you have a season ticket n tick cccs you get 1 point for that season. Say for a maximum of 7 points (aka u need a season ticket for 7 years with cccs to get 7 points) When games like this come around everyone with say 7 6 5 4 points or whatever fills the allocation all get tickets and if there's not enough for all with 3 points to get a ticket then they ballot 3 points only. 2 and 1 miss out but know that if they keep loyal they will be rewarded in future. Somethingsimilar for General away games also. Would be easy to Install andwill already have the last few years on system *when I say fill the allocation I mean only the cccs allocation , RSC should always be looked after Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gersandy 594 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 We seem to take the easiest approach when it comes to issuing tickets. Obviously looking up a database to make sure the fans who've stuck at it get a ticket is beyond them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC16 226 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Thank you for your email. The ballot was processed in the following manner:- We only balloted season ticket holders who met both of the following criteria; · Enrolled in ‘Priority semi-finals & finals’ · Supporter has all 4 league cup games paid for on their file; o Annan Athletic o Stranraer o Peterhead o Queen of the South. To this end, 18,068 supporters had this requirement met, whereas the allocation of tickets only allowed for 16,451 tickets to be distributed to season ticket holders. As demand outstripped supply, as per the terms of that continuous credit card scheme, we required to ballot the tickets & unfortunatley Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

j1mgg 3,766 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 We only got 16451 after RSCs and staff had been taken off, that is pretty shit. Is that about 8k gone before is gets to cccs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 There is a high demand for OF tickets, the club's could just decide to sell them at 80 quid a go that way many wouldn't be able to afford tickets and there'd be less folk complaining about not getting one. The current system is the only fair one and 99% of those complaining are only complaining because they were unlucky. That's all it is, luck, if you didn't get one its not unfair it's just bad luck. Imo ST holders on cccs have made the biggest commitment to the Club so deserve priority Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goal machine 7,791 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 It's shite you didn't get one and there should be a loyalty scheme in place but there's no conspiracy against you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 At the end of the day that's the way the cookie crumbles.

Dickie1963 2,352 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 You are a season ticket holder like everyone else. In your (and my brothers) mind you are an uber fan due priviledges. You and me who kept going through the bad times have no right to anything more than others. I am different in that I was there through the latest (but not the first) trauma we have been through and now have given my ST to my cousin as I am now involved in an amateur team. Sh!t happens. At some point I will be back full time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchammer 245 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 The real problem is the SFA having a shitty little capacity national stadium. They should have built a bigger capacity stadium when they modernised it. Every time it comes to semi finals and finals there are never enough tickets. Depends on who might be in the semis mind you. The not so many tickets are needed. But finals, never enough no matter who is playing in the major finals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at it I think this is the fairest way. as others have alluded to if you used years of history then how do our young fans ever get to a semi or a final.
