Ballot for Livi game

[Thasunke Witko]

I

Got excited there, email from rangers football club. New clothing range, cheers

I’ve had 5 emails this morning regarding clothing and RTV , heehaw about the ballot draw, fully expecting at least another email regarding all things Rangers except being successful(hopefully though) in the ballot.

 

[Papasmurf]

Have we got any knowledge if it will be QR codes again or back to smart cards?

 

[The_Degan]

That would be those peoples' fault though, not the club. Don't see what other way they could do it?

They could just allocate everybody a seat as they’ll know which ones could be used and send out the qr code without anyone having to do anything .

 

[derek145]

They really should be doing the complete ballot by end of play today, I'm fine as I'm a 15 minute drive from Ibrox but others need to make arrangements.

 

[falkirkbear]

That would be those peoples' fault though, not the club. Don't see what other way they could do it?

Email the people direct with their QR code which would do away with the need to log on and claim it, if indeed that is how its being done.

Shit forgot I couldn't find my smart card

[Macdonsj]

Will the ballot be today?

They're doing a ballot to determine the day of the ballot

 

[Brother Moses]

The ballot's ballot.

Same I’ve tried 55 times already this morning.

Rangers must absolutely know when they are doing the ballot so a simple sentence update would suffice.

"We are doing ballot on..."

Done

 

[The Blue Sea]

I’m in Bar 72 and we’ve been told no smart cards at all this season - e-ticket sent out prior to each game

Not sure if that’s consistent across stadium or just for our section

Wednesday is cutting it fine for folks who need to arrange travel

Done

It's the silence from the club that's doing everyone's head in. Just give a fecking update to why the ballot has not been done yet and the reasoning behind it.

 

[Yoga Bear]

Increase to 23.3k had been agreed so ballot can now go ahead

 

[butcherboy]

A Wednesday ballot is a fookin disgrace.

 

[trevaldo]

Increase to 23.3k had been agreed so ballot can now go ahead

Woop woop

 

[Cliffger]

We've got the ballot fever on,until the day is done......

 

[TonySoprano]

Why is the SLO not confirming this ?

[Koist-El]

I suggest a 46,000 person royal rumble and the last 17,000 standing get tickets.

Surely the only fair way?

I’d be up for that but I’d use the old technique of hiding under the ring until the end then climb back in

 

[GF1]

Increase to 23.3k had been agreed so ballot can now go ahead

Such a random figure but I am guessing this is maybe 50% of ST holders?

 

[Square it!]

Considering the nick a lot of folk were in after walking up the steps to the Club Deck I reckon I'd take my chances in this.

The 134 steps to my seat in CD is the only aspect of this whole CF I've not missed.

Sauce ?

 

[Super Ally]

Had the pleasure of doing it in a recovery boot last night. Take me back to the Copland

 

[TheRoofeIsOnFire]

Pretty much a 50:50 chance in the ballot. Guaranteed I’ll miss out!

 

[trevaldo]

Sauce ?

Brown

 

[kclarkhall]

Wednesday isn't fair at all.

I mean its fine for me, I can hop on a train and get there in an hour. What about bears organising travel from further afield? No consideration at all.

Shocking from the ticket centre yet again.

 

[SuperAlly1990]

Shambles if that tweets true.

 

[Yoga Bear]

Sauce ?

Sorry cannot say. We have been pushing since last week for an increase hence the delay in the ballot

Made up nonsense from a guy with <2000 followers.

Fair enough, cheers for sharing

Will we find out today mate?

 

[GraemeButNotMurty]

Should be done asap and anyone lucky enough should not be excluded from the Celtic game. What should happen is that those not successful should be compensated in some other way but all STHs have paid for all games and it's not fair to just write it off as "well you got his game so now you can't get another game until everyone has had a turn."

Especially since the flag has been taken away from the Livi game.

No one signed up for that. Compensate the people who aren't lucky instead by offering them a cup game free or something as well as RTV access to watch Livi game on TV.

If you're going to exclude folk then ask them to sign up for their preference now. Some people won't want in the livi ballot of there's a small chance they would then miss old firm. Others won't care as they will want the opening game and, all going to plan, would get into Celtic anyway.

I'm fine with not being compensated. I get if it was up to the club we'd all have been in Ibrox for the Arsenal game, never mind the season opener proper. I just want a fair ballot and to make sure it's rotated so every season ticket holder gets in for as long as restricted crowds last.

Suspect that's beyond the organisational capabilities of the folk who are in charge of the ticket allocation though.

You were the guy who offered to race me last night when I was standing with my walking stick! I’d have thrashed you!

 

[Macdonsj]

its said to be an "open" ballot
but you wonder if Friends & Family sitting together will be taken into account as it means less "buffer" seats required

 

[Barrymoped]

https://twitter.com/x/status/1419635385131483142

The SLO has been in hiding since last weeks ticketing shambles and lack of subsequent apology from the club.

Do the ticket office staff only have mates who have more than 2000 followers on Twitter?

 

[Barca Bear]

"We are doing ballot on..."

Done

TUESDAY AT 5-00pm

 

[Clarkston_Rangers]

Will the ballot be today?

With this TO, probably at 4pm on Friday.

 

[toobl]

Read most of this thread and still none the wiser on who I need to bri..., ahem, hand over a brown envelope to!

 

[Yoga Bear]

Will we find out today mate?

Now that the 23.3k had been agreed I would expect so.

 

[SE5]

They're doing a ballot to determine the day of the ballot

Don't say that - they'll probably pull "Sunday" out of the hat

 

[Sritch]

Wednesday is cutting it fine for folks who need to arrange travel

Wednesday is no good at all for us travelling from NI. An absolute shambles from authorities and rangers. Rangers were told they were getting 17k in so they should have had that sorted already then any extra we get do another ballot

 

[Souness86]

Doubt it, my friends and family group is made up of 5 different households and I would imagine a large amount of other groups will be the same.

 

[Thewandofpedro]

Now that the 23.3k had been agreed I would expect so.

So the bloke on Twitter saying tomorrow or Wednesday is talking out of his backside.

 

[Tpol_rfc]

Where's this coming from?

 

[Yoga Bear]

So the bloke on Twitter saying tomorrow or Wednesday is talking out of his backside.

Sorry my info is only that the 23.3k has been agreed. I do not have info on the timing of the ballot. Obviously there is now no reason for any further delay so I would hope today

 

[Yoga Bear]

Where's this coming from?

Sorry, I cannot say. It is genuine info at not second hand.
