I’m also not “moaning” about a hypothetical situation there’s 23k people not getting what they’ve paid for Saturday when 23k are, always seems to be a blasé attitude from most and I get why, money for the club but say for instance 2 people went into the shop and asked for the top both payed £65 and the assistant said “your getting the top and we’re giving you a picture of it you think the later would say ok no problem ? No they’d say give me my money back , absolutely the same scenario, and by the way I got a ticket so this isn’t sour grapes TamCoopz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 34,986 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I honestly thought because it was literally half of the ST holders in for livi they’d just pick every 2nd seat in the ballot. Like the guy to my right would get. I wouldn’t but the person next to my left would. Would make more sense tbh and would mean everyone had a fairer chance, it seems those on Friends and family got all or nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say if we’re still in this situation, the 23k not there sat get Celtic if that’s not an option coz we should all be in every ballot as we’ve all paid then people that miss games are refunded Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite easy to get lost in the myriad of 'ticket priorities' the club has now. I'm really not sure why they can't issue a note indicating precisely what the process is or what algorithm the system uses to allocate tickets.

MattyBlue 16,957 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Surely to fuck people knew what to expect when buying a season ticket i know it may seem easy for me to say because I’m lucky enough to be there Saturday but I can honestly say I would have the same attitude if I wasn’t going it was obvious the chances we where taking when buying season tickets, and it’s obvious a ballot is the only fair way. dont get how anyone can be raging with the club about it, I understand totally being disappointed with not being drawn, but to be angry with the club seems silly imo BridgeIsBlue and The Specky Forum Organiser 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And btw its not just us, tarrier mate last night was telling me if you went to the Midtjylland game last week then you're automatically excluded from their first home game against Dundee, something they didn't tell the people who went to the Midtjylland game until a few days later lol MattyBlue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I'll rephrase; every single person buying a season ticket knew that they weren't guaranteed the 19 home games and that phased returns were likely.
