I'd be a fraud if I went to be honest. I'm not a major Scotland fan.

I've applied for tickets through Fifa website, and chances are I won't get (couple group games/quarter/semi and final)... BUT I'm hoping my father holds on for another tournament involving Scotland and I'll have the gazebo and big screen set up in the back garden and enjoy the games with him. I thought Euro 2020 would be the last but looks like I'll get another with him.

He's massive fan of the national side.

Hope you and your old man have a cracking time next summer watching the games together 

My dad and I travelled around Europe following Scotland regularly around 2005-2011

Brilliant times even though we were largely shite during that time 

Going to wait to see what the draw is before booking anything

Should find out today / tomorrow if you were successful in the ballot for tickets. 

Chances of getting through ballot are pretty slim and you'd have to be mighty lucky to land a Scotland game through the ballot. Unless you have 13-12 SSC points getting a Scotland ticket will be difficult, unless of course you fork out for hospitality tickets which will guarantee you one of the group games. 

Anyone had feedback yet?

[dave_min]

Luckily I chucked following Scotland all the time just as they became good.

Applied for loads of tickets as my 7 (seven) points probably won’t get me an SSC ticket.

Hospitality sounds nice though.

Robson has got us being thankful for int break rather than being pissed off it’s interrupting us.

And look at the man you’ve become without being burdened by a second team! A real bloody hunk 

[CCB III]

I was fortunately taken to some great Scotland games as a kid, so I still have that romance about us. The first ever match being when we beat France 1-0 via Gary Caldwell. Got to see my hero Thierry Henry in the flesh as well. Dream stuff. 
 

Had my apathy under Strachan, but will almost definitely be in Germany.

Id argue that my new national team is an even bigger burden x

Ticket portal now open to check if you got any tickets or not - I didn't get any 🙁

[dave_min]

Fuck all here too.

[NEM]

Same.  Fuck Uefa

[minijc]

Fuck all for my group as well.

[Geoff_Tipps]

I got tickets for Dortmund. Group F

Hi Pal 👋 

[Parklife]

Completely unsuccessful in my ballot application.  
 

[Dons79]

Same, not a curdie, utter failed ballot

[Tord31]

I had heart set on opening game and we had several applications in which were all unsuccessful.

We did land one game in group B though

[Andy_123]

Applied for 4 tickets in 4 different games, 16 total. Even selected the upgrade by 1 tier box as well to increase my chances.

Got fuck all. Fuck UEFA

[bruceg1978]

Same. Nothing.  Fan Zones it is

 

[Howard Marks]

I didn't apply because I spend too much money following the Dons as it is. The National breaks are a bit of an inconvenience but usually make the most of it with a few pints out in the town. Will probably do the same this time. Arsed going to Germany to watch the game on a big screen.

Okay I'll lighten up. My pals in Frankfurt have offered me a room. I'll probably take it. 

 

[Parklife]

Re-sale window in March the next chance for anyone who won't get tickets through the SSC. 

[Studebaker-90]

Seemed like a fruitless exercise. Chances of getting tickets very slim let alone for a Scotland game. Seems like a stupidly bizarre way to do it. 

[milne_afc]

It’ll be on tv

[RDS]

Never really bothered with Scotland after Ally Macleod ruined my dreams in 1978

[jamiesd]

When i look back at 74 78 82 86 and 90 world cup squads i still can't believe how fucking shite we were.  We had some terrific players.

Just bat shit crazy. It is UEFA we are talking about though.

They have cup finals in stadiums that are too small, so that a mere fraction of a team's usual support has a chance of attending. Imagine the Dandies getting to the Conference League Final (stop laughing over there) and only getting 8,000 tickets.

Why's that? Seems a fair enough way to do it to me.

It’s completely random as to who you get tickets to see in the unlikely event you get any tickets at all. Presumably there is an opportunity for Scotland fans to request tickets to Scotland games nearer the time? Just don’t know why anyone would bother with this initial ballot.
