Cup Final Ballot

[Seaside Blue]

Are the emails out yet or is this just scuttlebutt?

 

[Blue As]

The latter..

 

[Live Forever]

They don’t.

Look at previous confirmation from the ticket office. Last 2 years attendance on CCCS also taken in to consideration.

What’s this about previous 2 years?

First I’ve heard about it.

 

[arch999]

Likewise although my issue is t

Don’t get worked up about these things

Have a season ticket & don’t miss a game at Ibrox, shifts & a young family mean I don’t have enough holidays or time so I sacrifice away games

I go to Hampden when I can so if no ticket then it’s no issue, I’ll cheer on from my house

likewise. Different situation for me in that I’m down south and already booked travel up for the final. Booked it after the semifinal so will have to take the hit if I don’t get a final ticket. Pain in the backside but it is what it is.

 

[Coopers left foot.]

First I’ve heard about it.

Last 2 old firm semi finals were Done on a 2 year countback, attending all home games excluding friendlies.

Always been the way.

 

[Live Forever]

So I’ll have more chance for the final than someone who has just joined the CCCS this season?

Spot on.

 

[sregnar]

Games still a while away haha.

It doesn’t seem like that at all.

It does. It’s not just on this circumstance.

Example, they had Lazio tickets out about a month before they went. Our Porto emails were out about 2 weeks before we went.

 

[ForzaMorelos]

Spot on.

how does it work if your in friends in family with someone who only joined this year?

 

[Troy McClure]

He wants away games included.

Conveniently making him a part of the special few I see

How noble

 

[theperoniloyal]

There’s a spanner in the works!

No idea I’m afraid mate!

 

[George Goudie]

Bar72 should be guaranteed a ticket then.

 

[davmcc]

how does it work if your in friends in family with someone who only joined this year?

You don't automatically get a ticket if one of you're friends or family get one.

You are matched up after if you are successful.

 

[Amato]

Anyone else get an email there from Rangers? Its not about tickets though

 

[davmcc]

Anyone know how many were on the semi final and final scheme last season?

 

[jr21]

Anyone else get an email there from Rangers? Its not about tickets though

Yes, someone on the rangers email distributions is at it.

sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for a ticket and I get offered £50 off an Emirates flight!

 

[Gascoigne8]

Shuttleston Harrier in the work says they get a portal thing to log into and select their seat

 

[Rydel06]

Anyone know how many were on the semi final and final scheme last season?

was it 23k last year and now its 26k I think

 

[George Goudie]

Shuttleston Harrier in the work says they get a portal thing to log into and select their seat

For home games.? Same as we do. Not Hampden?

 

[Mitchell McCoist]

I’m guessing the reason the mentally challengeds get the allocation out quicker is they ask the fans to log on and select specific seats to buy whereas Rangers take it upon themselves to allocate seats.

 

[Mitchell McCoist]

For home games. Same as we do. Not Hampden.

Celtic fan I work with just logged on to select a specific seat for the final. Think that’s why they are able to get their allocation done quicker. Technically the club will be doing the seat allocation for us just now

 

[Tpol_rfc]

They don’t.

Look at previous confirmation from the ticket office. Last 2 years attendance on CCCS also taken in to consideration.

No mention on mine mate.

 

[Modfella]

Emirates offer, operation tango 2 by Rangers PR.

 

[JMT73]

Bar72 should be guaranteed a ticket then.

Why?

 

[FrankieGovanLoyal]

This thread is some laugh. No I deserve a ticket more than you because

 

[Brian11Laudrup]

That essentially makes Rangers a closed shop.

So when those people miss 1 game, do they reset and go to the bottom of the pile, or does there become a point when they can pick and choose which games they can go to.

If someone missed a game then they’d fall 1 point behind those at the top of the pile

Essentially what some on here want is that every game away from Ibrox is a random ballot therefore if someone decides they only want to watch Rangers at the big games at the sheep, piggery, they should have the same chance of a ticket for those 2 games than someone that goes to every game including the shite at Hamilton Livi etc.

That isn’t fair

 

[Uncle Albert]

previous attendance from 2 years ago does not get looked at and never has for semis and finals.

it's simply everyone on the scheme that's paid for every home game from st josephs to present are in the ballot with an equal chance

 

[GazzaG]

The point is away games don't earn Rangers any revenue.

Of course not, the point I'm making is that I take every ticket available to me.

What more are we meant to do?

 

[Brian11Laudrup]

You have, you've simply chosen to ignore it.

I've asked where every Bear can get one of these passes you have that gets you to every game.

800 tickets for the piggery, how do we all get one?

A ballot between those at the top of the points list?

 

[RupertDeBoer]

Bar72 should be guaranteed a ticket then.

While we are all sticking claims to be one of the chosen few I'm in one of the dearest seats in the non hospitality sections. So stick me down as well

That isn’t fair

So outside the 2000 top rankers who'll get a ticket for every game what's the incentive for anyone else signing up for the away scheme

No they don't.
Absolutely nobody has said they want a CCCS or away scheme that let's them miss out Ross County or Livingston.
I get you want a final ticket, but resorting to making things up doesn't help.

Both schemes are simple, you take the tickets or you're out.

Absolutely nobody has the option to pick and choose.

 

[GeckoBear29]

Rangers playing with our nerves there

 

[Brian11Laudrup]

I hope Laudrup doesn't get one

I’ll be there one way or another

 

[GazzaG]

A ballot between those at the top of the points list?

So how does anyone else ever get to go?

I'm genuinely astounded that you admit to wanting away games to be a closed shop but want to complain about fairness.

The ballot is random between us all regardless of the fixture. Again, we don't get to pick the games we want.

You still haven't told us how you get these every game tickets.

 

[Papasmurf]

Bar72 should be guaranteed a ticket then.

Not sure about that. A few rowdy folk up there

 

[Brian11Laudrup]

How noble

How dare those that follow the team home and away, believe they should get tickets for away fixtures ahead of those that don’t go to all away games.

Thing is, this season I haven’t been to every away game due to being out of the country a couple of weekends however, I still believe that the points system should be in place even if it meant I’d be a couple of points behind those that haven’t missed a game this season

 

[Brian11Laudrup]

previous attendance from 2 years ago does not get looked at and never has for semis and finals.

it's simply everyone on the scheme that's paid for every home game from st josephs to present are in the ballot with an equal chance

Last year I was told that the club had taken account of previous 2 years

 

[Brian11Laudrup]

So outside the 2000 top rankers who'll get a ticket for every game what's the incentive for anyone else signing up for the away scheme

If they’re desperate to attend every away game then they’d eventually reach maximum points ... the same as the travel club works

By your logic, what’s the point in any newcomer signing up to the travel club?

 

[Coopers left foot.]

Of course not, the point I'm making is that I take every ticket available to me.

What more are we meant to do?

Nothing at all the system in place is the fairest imo. If your lucky enough to go to away euro, league games great.

 

[ClockworkOrange]

I think some of the words people are using are really inaccurate.

If the season ticket waiting list remains as it is, then even attending Rangers games becomes a closed shop.

If the demand for away games excessively outstrips demand, then getting to an away game (I've had one all season, and we're now into November) essentially becomes a closed shop if you're getting so few chances to attend.

Joining the Travel Club and building up the points to go to those early away games with low capacities is essentially a closed shop at it is.

Why should games at Hampden be any different when attending games is difficult enough as it is and the club are operating a de factor loyalty system in other ticketing methods?

Tesco reward me more for my loyalty than Rangers do!

 

[Oranje]

The problem with a points system for domestic away games is that people take tickets and just sell them on.

Happens with Chelsea and unfortunately down south people are making a business or being touts.

On paper it looks like they attend every game. They collect all the loyalty points and snap up all the tickets. In reality they are only attending big games (or no games at all) and selling the use of their season ticket for home games and selling on tickets for away games, at double/triple the price.

So a travel club style system?

But aren't people moaning about how that is done too?

How can you get tickets for ALL the away games?

The system in place only allows you to get SOME of the away tickets?

And how does that make you more entitled than anyone else?

 

[G-Hallbear]

I should get one based on the amount of times I’ve worn my Rangers jammies and slippers combo.

 

[GazzaG]

If they’re desperate to attend every away game then they’d eventually reach maximum points ... the same as the travel club works

By your logic, what’s the point in any newcomer signing up to the travel club?

You get points for applying in the travel club.
You apply on a game by game basis.
People on zero points still have a chance.

 

[Boumsong]

Emails out later today or tomorrow. Everyone who had paid for all non season ticket matches since the start of season were eligible. Over 8k who are on scheme will unfortunately miss out. Good luck!

Hopefully yours, I, and everybody else on this thread's loyalty is rewarded with silverware at the end of the season.
