Any reason? Simple not allowing football fans the same options as others get every day to go about their business?

I think it's more a case of there are only a limited number of them available for any particular day. As the saying goes, once they are gone they are gone.

Rather like Hearts' season tickets!

The ticket deal is there purely to maximise revenue when there's normally less demand, hence the reason these deals aren't available during the week. When there's a large demand, they don't need to do it.

I can only presume that's the reason this weekend. Does anyone know if the offer was made unavailable during the Six Nations home games?

I've got the groupsave tickets - If that's the deal where 4 adults get a much reduced price?

I bought my tickets on Monday 2nd April mind you, so perhaps they pulled them when demand rose.

I believe that you are right. This outdated webpage says they were unavailable during the 6 Nations in 2010: http://www.scotrail.co.uk/content/groupsave.html
