It does seem overly complicated though. I ordered Hearts tickets and the semi final tickets at the same time one was instantly delivered one took until this morning. For a country whose football teams need (with some exceptions who get UEFA money just for being the best of a bad bunch) all the money they can get, surely some games like this could still be a combination of buying tickets up front and pay at the gate unless there are concerns about selling out which is not the case for this game .
