The SSC have announced that all tickets to the Scotland V Norway game have been allocated. 2200 Tickets were available originally with 1,400 going to people who had between 4 and 10 points. Those that applied for tickets that were on 3 points will be entered in to a ballot. The ballot will take place in the next few days and all members on 3 points should find out by Friday 16th June. It is though that the SSC were short by about 100 tickets.
Unfortunately due to the way the Norwegians have sold their how support tickets it is very unlikely they'll be able to accommodate extra Scotland fans.

An email just in from the SFA still asks fans not to book any travel until Japan confirm the venue.
I'm starting to think that the game may not be played in Japan!
Dear Supporters Club Members,
As you know, we recently announced that we are playing a friendly in Japan in October this year. At the time we announced the match, we gave an undertaking to let you know the venue as soon as we could.
I know how important it is for you to get this information quickly - as I realise the travel costs involved in getting around Japan mean that flying into the right city is absolutely paramount.
We recently met with a delegation from the Japanese FA to discuss the match. I am afraid that they made it clear that, due to a variety of factors, they are not in a position to confirm the venue yet and, indeed, that it may be next month before they have this sorted out.
I can give you my commitment today that as soon as we have this information from the Japanese FA we will get it out to you. In the meantime, I strongly urge you not to book any flights.
I know that this may be an inconvenience to the many loyal supporters who are in the fortunate position of being able to travel to Japan to follow the team. We will continue to press for this information and will be in touch as soon as we know.
My thanks to you all for your patience and for your incredible support for Scotland.
Gordon Smith
Chief Executive

The Scotland Supporters club have announced the qualifying criteria for members to purchase tickets for the upcoming World Cup Qualifier against Norway.
Scotland has been allocated 2,200 tickets each priced at £32 each and SSC members will be seated in sections 109 to 112 in the VG Stand of Norway’s Ullevaal Stadium.
If you’ve 4 or more points from the last 10 away games you’re guaranteed a ticket. The ticket application hotline opens at 9am on Monday 8th June till 9pm on Friday 19th June. The telephone hotline is on 0844 481 5660.
If you’ve 3 points you‘ll have a chance to apply for a ticket. If there isn’t enough tickets available members on 3 points will be entered in to a ballot. The ballot will be drawn on Wednesday 24th June and members should know by Friday 26th June if they’ve been successful. 3 Pointers should register on the same hotline as above during the same dates and times. It’s estimated that there’ll be approximately 400 tickets left from the 4 and above pointers.
Should there still be tickets left unallocated the SSC will contact members on 2 points, then 1 point, and in the unlikely event that they’ve not all been sold, they may even contact the zero pointers.

The Norwegian Football Association have informed the SFA that Scotland will be allocated 2,200 tickets for the forthcoming World Cup qualifier in the Ullevaal Stadium in Oslo.
Under FIFA regulations, the away team are entitled to 10% of capacity. Unfortunatly Norway are carrying out work on their main stand reducing the capacity to 22,000 (from 25,000).
Ticket prices have been confirmed at 35 Euros and will be available to registered SSC members. This game is likely to be very popular and at this stage the SSC have yet to publish qualifying criteria. It's likely members applying for an official ticket will need at least 3 points to qualify for a ticket.
Scotland fans will be located in lower tear of the VG stand in sections 109 to 112. This is the same area we have been allocated on the previous 2 visits.
