Locky Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Think there's just a lot lf negotiations over how many tickets we will be given. We want more than normal but Rangers are trying to hold firm and keep our allocation to a minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit tricky when you're organising batches of tickets and transport for a supporters club. Something should have been announced by now. The earlier you can cancel buses or let folk know they've not got a ticket through us the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylelauren01 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Shaggy2 - exactly this, easy when trying to sort tickets for 2/3 people, different altogether when looking for 75!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy2 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Why would they? The problem we have is collating all the loyalty points and paying for one minibus or two depending on how many we can ask for. As I said, the later we find out the more annoyed our supplier will be if we have to cancel one....obviously. Friday night games are also going to be a supporters club nightmare for our transport but that's a gripe for another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiler Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Some supporters clubs will obtain all the tickets possible that qualify through their members LP's, irrespective of whether the individuals intend to go or not, as long as the demand is their within their club membership. Therefore some will be at Ibrox that didn't have enough points. That's the reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy2 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 To be honest there hasn't been many games that LPs haven't dropped way down to a level almost any fan that's ever been to a game would get a ticket. The main problem that club ticket convenor's have is judging the stage to apply to try and get us all together. The last ER game being a case in point. We prefer the upper tier down there and by the time it went on sale EVERY person on my list was ok LP wise. Games like Liverpool and cup ties at ER we've got to get the high points in early and hope for the best when points reduce. Ibrox will come into this category I think.

8skacel8 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 The club have been first class with announcements and keeping us to update with everything. Therefore a delay in this will be down to Rangers deciding on how many tickets we get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbee647 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I was told a few years back the buses were well looked after regardless of loyalty points. My mate does a lot of hospitality at Hearts, POTY dinners etc, lucky if he goes to 2 away games a season , both at Easter Road, However if he ever wants tickets for big games, ie Cup Finals, semi final, Tottenham and Liverpool away, then it's no problem, we had centre stand tickets confirmed for 2012 cup final, 10 minutes after the semi against Celtic had ended. What I'm saying there are always plenty of people who are looked after when it comes to tickets, loyalty points are not an issue if you are a business partner of Hearts, I have enough loyalty points, but I know for a fact if I asked my mate to get me a ticket for Ibrox it won't be a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamgerrard Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Defintly should be based on points.Wont be fair for us fans who has supported the team home and away through the bad times and for some joe blog who wasnt so loyal strolling up and getting tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julienbrellier Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 mentioned on another thread that there are 4 sections in the corner where we are usually housed where rangers fans are unable to buy tickets at the moment (accoring to the full seating plan of ibrox). These are: BF5, GW1, GW2 and GW3. It looks as though this is more than our "usual' corner. even assuming some of the sections beside the huns are used in part for segregation, that would still give us about 3 and a bit sections. It seems these sections hold between 2000-2500 fans so maybe we will get a bigger allocation this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the fourth day of sales and they're not exactly flying out the door, there is loads of availability all over the ground. 2,000 would be good, 2,500 would just about see everyone who wanted to go get a ticket imo.

Fxxx the SPFL Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I wonder if Rangers may wish to give us more but demand that Hearts agree to pay for all tickets even if we don't sell them all. If that is the case then Hearts may not wish to be stung. I think the max we would take would be between 1500 and 2000.

portobellojambo1 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I was told a few years back the buses were well looked after regardless of loyalty points. When Supporters clubs submit orders it is just like any person or persons going into the ticket office and ordering a ticket/tickets. You submit the person's name, and customer reference number. The club then allocate tickets based on the number of loyalty points held. In terms of being looked after, I can only think of two occasions recently where that has happened, and it was supporters clubs looking after HMFC fans who were non members of supporters clubs to get more seats for them. The first instance was the Scottish Cup Final, 19/05/2012, the police had requested an area equivalent to one full section be left empty between the two sets of fans. The FHSC sat down with the equivalent body covering Hibs SC's, and the police and the SC's on both sides put a case whereby they would return their already allocated seats for resale to fans of both clubs and the two groups would seat immediately next to each other in the area intended for segregation and the police agreed to this. For the match at Liverpool it was input from the FHSC which convinced HMFC to take more tickets than they intended doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portobellojambo1 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 That corner won't hold as many as 2,000, it'll be closer to 1,500 if anything. When we take our full allocation at Parkhead, and from memory I think the last time we did was the 1-1 draw under George Burley. I am sure the total number is around 1,800. I have a feeling the full allocation available to us at Ibrox is slightly larger, was it not around 2,100 HMFC fans who were in the Ibrox away area on the afternoon where everyone turned up with newspapers and the like, as win or lose made no difference.

We have had larger allocations at both Parkhead and Ibrox for Scottish Cup matches over the years, but I believe this is down to cup rules more than anything. You are correct about the 1-1 game at Parkhead PJ. We had a much larger section than normal that day. It's been a good few years since we've needed a larger section at Ibrox. I can't remember 05/06 there other than the last game of the season, but we did have the bottom Broomloan in 97/98 although not sure if we got the whole bottom or not.
