Cedrick 8,048 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Got to hope Motherwell win the other semi , they show a bit of sense and take the allocation they know they can sell unlike yer hibs and sheep of the worlds where S/T holders are entitled to 200 tickets each just to get half hampdens allocation , Motherwell get to the final and so do we , all the bears signed up will get a ticket Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, can't agree on that. This means that fans who have been to every cup game miss out, and those tickets go to buses to be given to people who haven't supported the team at the match through earlier rounds? Nah.

Fans that go to every cup game regardless will have missed out anyway tho. The buses have always got an allocation for celtic games at Hampden.

As I said before, the club recognises them as a singing section so always put them in the same place at Hampden. The taig brigade are always in the same place behind the goal aswell.

I don't know but they must have some agreement in place with the club. Certainly not every one of their members goes to every away game but they're always grouped together.

Nope No one in the UB gets any special treatment from the TO. Cant quite grasp how hard that is to understand. Most members go every week so it's not to hard to pull a ticket out for a game that we get near 20k tickets for.

Would think most buses do it on a loyalty basis, any tickets available are allocated by number of games attended, I know mine does it that way.

Hows there always ten or so rows of a the UB behind the goals together then ? The only explanation can be if there isnt an allocation set aside , a UB lad and his 4 mates (friends and family max 5) come out the ballot, it flags up on the system they are a UB member or flags up BF1 and Rangers TO then put them behind the goal and it continues like that till ballot is completed and that’s how they have there own section ?

Don't agree because if the buses don't get tickets, then buses don't run and a decent % of those folk don't get to the games or it would put some folk off going knowing there's no bus in their area. It's not that bad if your in Glasgow and getting the train to Hamilton or Motherwell or something but a train return from Glasgow to Edinburgh can be about £20 ... £40 to Perth ...a fortune for Dundee ... sky high Aberdeen.

Fair dos. I didn’t say they shouldn’t get any, I said they get too many. They can still run buses with less and then more people signed up could get some. I know people not signed up who get almost every away game. Not right, IMHO. I’m all for signing up and being rewarded for that, same as I think you should be priority for Hampden for ‘attending’ previous games, not just buying a ticket.

In theory they could - but suffer losses. There's been a big demand for away tickets past couple of years which is remarkable because we are utter shite but on the day, a lot of buses are taking a loss or sharing with other buses because they don't have the tickets (with the exception of a couple of clubs who do well) ... take away even a couple of tickets from their allocations and they might not even run some of them.

Yeah I know. The work they do is awesome. I don’t begrudge them tickets. I get my fair share from mine. I just don’t particularly like the way we allocate our tickets for the big cup games. I’ve been lucky, but others consistently aren’t, it’s not right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
