iainmac1 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 It's my dad's 60th this year and was thinking of doing hospitality at the Lithuania game in October for it. Anyone done hospitality for a Scotland game before? Would you recommend it? What's it like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTV Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I can highly recommend it - have done it twice, and was a brilliant day each time. Get there about 2h 30 before k/o as I recall. Food surprisingly good and beer and wine flowing liberally. Waiter appointed to your table to look after you all day. Great service, friendly and very efficient. Pie and a cup of tea or coffee at half time. An hour or so of the free bar afterwards for another couple of beers whilst the crowds die down outside. Programme, team sheet etc. They used to have a little kiosk taking bets as well wi coupons on the table but don't know if that's still going! Obviously you can't turn up in jeans, trainers and a fitba top, but it isn't too formal or stuffy either. No jacket or tie required, nothing like that. A normal shirt, trousers, pair of shoes. Only drawback is that although seats are obviously very good, the atmosphere sitting in the South Stand just isn't the same, so I would not do it for a big game with an intense atmosphere like Ireland, Germany, Poland etc. But for a Gibraltar or Lithuania, excellent. A really good day for a special occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braveheart_lynch Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I've not done it for a Scotland game but I have done it at Hampden and a couple other stadiums as a neutral fan and have always enjoyed my day. If I had the money it's something I would do more regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesney Hawkes TA Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Taking your dad to a Scotland-Lithuania game for his 60th birthday. I hope whatever you're getting him back for wasn't too serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between two good teams at somewhere that's not an appalling place to watch football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham of Montrose Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) My work has done hospitality at Scotland games before. Think it was about £200/£250 a head. (I got invited but chose to be in the North Stand) Edited April 12, 2016 by Graham of Montrose Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTV Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 aye it's usually about £225-£250 per head. Depending on match and timing. They offer a small discount if you are feeling very flush and want to buy packages for every game in the qualifiers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecraigfanclub Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Its £275 plus VAT for the Scottish Cup final. I think I'll pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
