There's only one seat per ticket. It's not as if you could sell one, then get that ticket reprinted to sit in the same seat. As others have said, you can do it by barcode etc for gigs and even games in Europe. Scotland behind with the times? Shock horror. To be fair thats probably what would happen. Give yours to a mate, reprint and then just stand together. 500k in the Rangers end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The email he received states that the SPFL do not reprint tickets. Has he got any chance of getting another one? I've told him to phone Rangers and explain. Thought I'd stick this on here, see if anyone's been in a similar situation. Was it posted because he could say it's not been received? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we qualified we got Bayern, psv and Valencia and I got to Ibrox by 10 that morning the tickets went on sale and I got in at 6.30 that night, Was the side of edminston house then behind the Copland, We were so far ahead with the smart card I thought this would be the next step. If you lost your ticket they just cancelled the barcode and reprint one with a new barcode. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,802 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Just get him to buy another one, enjoy the game, then wait for the inevitable on Monday morning when he finds the original one exactly where he left it for safe keeping.

If you lost your ticket they just cancelled the barcode and reprint one with a new barcode. the technology is hardly new these days, surely it wouldn't cost an arm and a leg to have every ground in the SPL to be fitted with smart card technology. if the tehnology was in place you could buy an away ticket from Rangers or a Cup ticket for Hampden all it would take it to put a code into a computer and use your Ibrox smart card to get in, would safe a fortune on ticketing and staffing of ticket offices etc. I can't imagine this would cost a lot. Nearly every office has the technology now. I honestly think this is just the SFA trying to make a profit when they could make things much easier for everyone Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck all to do with this thread, but it reminds me of the time in the late 1980's when I took my wife and 3 of my mates to watch a one day cricket semi final match at the Sydney Cricket Ground between New Zealand and the West Indies. We were sat mid-wicket in the Bill O'Reilly stand (which was sold out) when a lot of people appeared claiming that we and those around us were in their seats.We showed them our tickets we had actually bought at the gate but as we were doing so more people appeared with tickets in their hand claiming the same thing. Finally things got so much out of control the Police appeared and threatened to throw them all out...It was like a fucking Monty Python sketch. Then as the Umpires threatened to stop the game, the stadium announcer told everybody with a ticket but no seat that they could move to the Don Bradman stand where there was plenty of seats available. At that, my big Aussie mate yelled out so loud the entire stadium heard him......"Yea! Ya bunch of thieving bastards, no wonder that fucking stand has plenty seats... you've sold these fucking seats 10 times already Perhaps your mate might be put in another stand.
