Czech Republic match tickets have now arrived for those 4 pointers and above that applied for tickets.
This is probably the earliest we have received tickets in the past 5 years. Congratulations SFA.
Remebering of course that we have to prove we were in Prague by the 30th June or we loose the point for the game. This point could become crucial in the games against Macedonia and Iceland later in the year.

A new system of allocating away match tickets for Scotland Supporters Club members is being trialed by the Scottish FA for the upcoming friendly against the Czech Republic in May.
Taking on board comments from Tartan Army groups and individual Scotland fans, changes are being introduced that will result in fans being contacted earlier about their own entitlement to a ticket, rewarding those Supporters Club members who consistently travel to away matches as well as making better use of electronic communications to speed up the process.
The details of the trial for the Czech match are as follows:
• Members with 4-10 Supporters Club points have already been contacted offering them a guaranteed ticket for the upcoming match. The deadline for this group to apply is Friday May 2.
• Members with 3 Supporters Club Points will be emailed on Friday May 2 to offer them a guaranteed ticket. The deadline for this group to apply is Monday May 12.
• Members with 2 or 1 Supporters Club points will also be emailed on Friday May 2 inviting them to register their interest in a ticket for the match. At the point of registering their interest, members will be asked for payment details in order to guarantee them a ticket should they be successful in their application. The deadline for the group to apply is Monday May 12.
Everyone who applies using this new system will receive their tickets well in advance of the game.
Of course, it is important to make sure that every Scotland fan has the opportunity to follow their team abroad. With that in mind, every member who has yet to accrue any points will be invited to apply for any remaining tickets from Tuesday May 13. Email will be used, wherever possible, to contact members who fall into this category.
As with any trial, feedback will be sought after the game in order to make sure that any improvements can be made.
Colin Banks, Scottish FA Marketing Manager said:
“The way in which our fans follow their team around the world is incredible. No matter where the National Team goes, the Tartan Army travel in huge numbers.
“This trial system is designed to reward loyalty, but also to make sure that we deal with people quickly, efficiently and in a professional manner. With the World Cup qualifying campaign coming up, we want to make sure that everyone knows how to apply for tickets and that we take some of the hassle out of doing so.
“Our fans are part of the team. We want to support them every bit as much as they support George and the boys.”
