Clarke Urges Scotland Fans Not to Take On Debt as World Cup Ticket Scramble Begins

Supporters confront high FIFA prices, tight allocations under a dynamic system drawing criticism.

Overview

  • Applications opened for Scotland Supporters Club tickets for Haiti and Morocco in Boston and Brazil in Miami.
  • Steve Clarke warned that travel and tickets will be costly and asked fans not to put themselves into debt to attend.
  • The Scottish FA has taken its full allocation of roughly 8% per match, with remaining access subject to FIFA’s dynamic pricing and resale market.
  • Fan groups have condemned reported prices of about £134 to £524, and Clarke cited FIFA’s claim of roughly five million applications for two million tickets.
  • Clarke confirmed a 26-player squad plan, outlined training camps and friendlies with a U.S. base to be named in January, and said the door remains open to Harvey Barnes subject to commitment.
