""The messaging we got from the SFA (Scottish Football Association) on Thursday was that emails would start popping into our inboxes and then we would find out if we were successful or not. That goes for both the Scottish Supporters' Club, which people could apply through, or the Fifa ballot which people used if they didn't get tickets through the SFA. But no-one has had any emails from Fifa.""
"Fifa has already faced criticism over ticket prices for the finals, which will be staged from 11 June to 19 July in 16 cities across the USA, Canada and Mexico. Prices for the group games will range from 134 to 523. The governing body also sparked outcry by confirming travelling fans will only receive a fraction of available tickets at the host stadiums."
"Scotland have been allocated 3,889 tickets for the Haiti match on 13 June and the same number for the Morocco game on 19 June. Both fixtures will be played in the 63,815 capacity Boston Stadium. For the clash with five-time champions Brazil on 24 June, Scotland have been granted 3,736 tickets. It will be played in the Miami stadium which has a capacity of 64,091."
Scotland's men's national team will play Haiti and Morocco in Boston and Brazil in Miami at the World Cup, marking a return after 28 years. Tens of thousands of Scottish supporters applied for tickets and were told to expect FIFA confirmation emails on Thursday, but many have received no official responses. Supporter groups report fans are panicking and unable to access the FIFA site because it keeps crashing. FIFA faces criticism over ticket prices (group games ranging from 134 to 523) and for allocating only a fraction of stadium tickets to travelling fans. Scotland received 3,889 tickets for each Boston match and 3,736 for the Miami fixture.
