The SFA has announced that all members of the SSC can now apply for tickets to the Sweden V Scotland match on Wednesday 11th August. Previously only those on 3 or more points were eligible, but only 1,500 tickets were requested. 1,500 tickets are therefore available to those on 0 to 4 points.
Tickets will cost £20. Applications close at 5pm on Tuesday 6th July.
It's been rumoured the SSC may make all members pick up their tickets in Sweden to prevent point "harvesting".

The venue has been announced for the forthcoming Sweden V Scotland International Challenge match on the 11th August 2010.
The match will be held in the Råsunda National Stadium in Solna, on the outskirts of Stockholm (map). It's hosted about 75% of Sweden's international games and is hime to the AIK football team. The stadium was built in 1937 and will be replaced in 2011 by a new stadium next door.
The stadium has a capacity of 35,000 so we shouldn't have any issues securing tickets. The SSC have asked fans to register their interest in going to the match - you can do so by logging in to the SSC website (poll here).
