Rangers TO teasing bastards , lets me log in and put ticket in basket but of course I cant buy it as I didnt have the 1st or 2nd requirement, so off I go.....BUT.....then they email me to say I've something in my basket do I want to check out....which I cant...
Nothing for me in second ballot thankfully as sourced a ticket elsewhere
Why bother putting it in when you’ve not been allocated? Not so much for this game but you doing that is preventing someone else down the line getting a ticket.
I’ve had nothing since St Johnstone and applied for all bar St Mirren as I forgot.
1350 points for me. Hopefully I get Hibernian

Just shows this rotational ballot isn’t working properly.
I’m on 1494 points, have applied for every game, and have only been allocated St Johnstone so far (which was before the Dundee game you were allocated).
What an absolute shambles this system is…honestly. @Greg Marshall

All a rotational ballot means is that you don't go back in until everybody has had one. Then it becomes a ballot again for the next round of tickets so it is working as planned. It doesn't mean it will keep going in the same order

I'm in silver and have had 2 tickets while I was in gold for a few weeks. Solid system in place 
Anyway registered for them all coming up, ideally would like Hearts as I am in Scotland that weekend, but doubt I will get feck all, but who knows? Do the TO even know?

The lack of transparency is the biggest annoyance with MyGers. I'm a bronze pleb who has applied for every away game so far, i was allocated St Mirren. I've registered interest for all the upcoming games but appreciate there is more chance of muffing Kelly Brook tonight than getting a ticket.
When it went to a ballot this is what was said
The ballots will be rotational ballots. This means that every supporter will receive a ticket within your tier before you are eligible to receive another ticket.
For certain high demand matches (such as Aberdeen, Celtic, Hearts and Hibs), supporters will be required to have registered for additional matches before these games are available to apply for. The match application threshold for these games will be communicated in due course.
What additional matches do need to have applied for before being considered for Aberdeen, Celtic, Hearts and Hibs ? Would a member on 0 tickets who has missed applying for 1 or 2 matches get a ticket over a member on the same level who has already had 1 or 2 tickets but has applied for every game ?
Some clarity is all we ask for

That could happen as you are still applying for lesser games
What shouldn't happened is someone who hasn't applied for the lesser games and getting a ticket for a Cat A game
Doesn't help that due to 'feedback' these games were made available all at once rather still on a match by match basis and then the criteria could be shown for each game
As you say clarity would help

The big secret is probably if people knew the whole story they might realise how little benefit there is to joining. It's strange regarding the 2 and 0 unless one was Ross County or it was because they moved into gold temporarily.

That could mean anything, not every supporter on mygers applies for away games for a start, if you were waiting for every supporter in your tier to get an away game bar gold you would be waiting for years.

It means those that have applied for that particular game . So if there’s some on less they’ll get first . But if folk on silver have had two and others 0 it’s obviously not working .

who knows maybe the ticket off selected mygers members based on close proximity to the said away stadium wouldn’t surprise me if they did, in that case I better get hibs since my flat is on Easter road lolAye, I’m going to be looking at properties in Dalmarnock so I get Celtic away
I doubt they would lol

I know mate wasn’t a dig at you , hope it didn’t come across like that !Hahahaha
I’ll be honest with you, I’m actually loving it right now
Sorry mate but bullshit it's irrelevant it is the most relevant point I can think of pertaining to friends and family. If you want to take your chances yourself then apply yourself however if you want to be allocated tickets together with friends and family group then sign up for the scheme. There is no acceptable reason for friends and family not being offered the same tickets during the season especially bloody adult and children otherwise what is the point?
How do they deal with f&f who are on different tiers?
That's a great question mate and one u find absolutely infuriating about the whole mygers scheme. Previously I pretty much knee that if I got an away ticket my sin got one as well as we are on the f&f scheme.
However at the inception of mygers we were on different tiers (me silver and him bronze) basically I feel he was penalised due to his age (9) and only having his season ticket 3 previous years. There are those who will say rough that's how the scheme works and everyone needs to build their way up. However I disagree as anyone older wasn't required to do that at its inception. He has subsequently moved up to silver as well so for me that's ok however that gets back to my original point we should now be given the same tickets.
I don't agree with the scheme at all however seeing as we're stuck with it I'll caveat my previous post with the point that f&f should receive the same tickets however those in a higher tier should be given some extra themselves due to that.

Adult and children are meant to, if they don’t then that’s a %^*& up at the ticket office. If a child gets then an adult is meant to also get.

Only way it would work is that the F&F group all agree to be balloted in the lowest tier that one of the members is in
So if you have 2 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze in a F&F group, they all get balloted in the bronze tier. They’d be lucky to see more than one away game together, possibly wouldn’t even get one in total
It’s a complete non starter that’s totally unworkable. Why would anyone in gold agree to be balloted in a lower tier just so they got balloted for same games as their pal? People clearly want it both ways with the guys later post

Not at all, I’m thick skinned. Even if it was a dig it wasn’t the most offensive thing I’ve been called

How’s that workable though?Not really when there it could also easily work the way I suggested two posts up
So in the situation I suggested, the group would need to be in the bronze pool when they registered as a group. So just for clarity, would you be suggesting that for certain games you can apply as an individual and others as a group?
I’ll tell you why it wouldn’t work - the individuals in gold could be on 4 tickets (as some are now) and the majority of bronze on 0 tickets (as is the case now). The F&F group in the situation I describe wouldn’t be successful until all bronze members caught up with the ST holder that has had 4 away games. Therefore, it’s a complete non starter
No. I'm suggesting you apply for them all together. However due to mygers the top tiers will get say 8 tickets for illustration purposes. The lower tier folk get say 3 but for the 3 they are allocated they'll be 3 the same as those higher on their f&f

Bronze will be lucky to get more than 1 ticket in the ballots, I’d suggest that Silvers will be extremely fortunate to get 3 but the majority might struggle to get 2
Again, I’m not really sure how it’s possible. So would the person in gold get allocated a ticket based on the same the bronze F&F gets of visa versa?
I'm going to go away and have a think about why you're picking faults at what I've said.
Guys on more get more. Guys on less get less but the ones they do get will be with th

That would only work if you could rely on the ticket office knowing what they are doing.

Should add, I’d love it to be the case as my F&F group is split between tiers, as are other F&F groups from others I go to games withI'm going to go away and have a think about why you're picking faults at what I've said.

Just don’t see how it’s possible given the current parameters of the system, for it to work they’d need to implement a group application vs individual application in my mind
That point I can entirely get on board withThat would only work if you could rely on the ticket office knowing what they are doing.

In saying that we may as well just lock these threads as any suggestions made by anyone however good are entirely irrelevant when you're dealing with the ineptitude of our ticketing office
Think my reply above is probably appropriate to yourself as well haha
First away ticket for me this season from silver.
Is there a way to upgrade a youth's ticket to an adult?

It’s actually been pish. Almost Christmas and we’ve got bronze folk on zero tickets when you’d normally have two.
I’ve been allocated one, and I’ve picked up all the rest except Motherwell elsewhere. People who previously went to games, will still get to games (that’s my experience so far) except previously I’d have been able to pick up a Motherwell, don’t know if them cutting our allocation affected that

As you know, I was against it from the start but people viewed me as the MyGers jester who was throwing toys out the pram because I’d be affected. Turns out I’ve had tickets for all games apart from Arsenal friendly
My reasoning why I don’t think it’s fair was discussed at length but people kept saying give it a chance to see how it works in practice. The system I ripped to shreds lasted one game before moving to ballots
I don’t get why anyone in Bronze would renew tbh. Others will say it guarantees a ticket for hampden 50/50 but if you’re in Bronze it’s likely you could miss out anyway. I’d fancy my chances getting a ticket for a final even if I didn’t get through my own ST

I would say if you're a ST holder, on CCCS and a MyGers member, (irrespective of tier colour) you will likely get a ticket for a 50/50 final.
I would estimate there would be around 20k that fall into this category mate.
I also think if you don't meet this criteria, then you'll have little, or no chance of a ticket.

In terms of the bold bit, I was meaning getting helped out and pulling in a favour
For a 50/50 split against Celtic we get circa 22,000 tickets I believe. Corporates get around 10%, buses get around 10% and then the rest will go to mygers. I kind of agree to an extent but many Bronze will see it as paying £40 to guarantee a ticket for a 50/50 game which is extremely rare unless it’s Celtic (I understand Hibs 2015 was but normally it wouldn’t be)
Just can’t see people viewing it as being worthwhile though we are agreeing here, I think
