wanderer Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I don't remember us getting ripped off for playing at Ibrox and Parkhead in the past. The main reason for the hike was mentioned on here before. The SFA marketing team had been given commitments to boost revenue by a % that I can't recall, but it was significant. Regan muttered something in the press at the time about the costs for extra security needed for Ibrox and Celtic Park...... I suspect there will be a price freeze this time around (though they will try a price Slovakia and Slovenia like its a draw on the level of Ireland and Poland..... plus Malta are actually in FIFA, so can say "this is what we charged for Gibraltar who are not in FIFA, so we are giving you the same deal for Malta who are in FIFA.... isn't that kind of us?"

northernscum Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Any gigs coming up that they can compare it to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjc1987 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 i dont recall a massive (if any) change in pricing from 2008(ish) to this campaign when there was a massive increase. Given the press and noise about it and being unable to sell out our most important games this campaign i dont see an increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus_Young Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 i dont recall a massive (if any) change in pricing from 2008(ish) to this campaign when there was a massive increase. Given the press and noise about it and being unable to sell out our most important games this campaign i dont see an increase. That's just it though. Unless there is a reduction I think a lot of punters will take the same stance this time around. North stand should be no more than £165 IMO. £45 for England with the others £30. I think they would see a big increase in season ticket sales pricing it at that. I fully expect them to be £200 plus however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcountry jock Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) The ticket prices will defiantly go up because it's a World Cup qualifier not just euro they know we will buy the tickets look at this campaign can't see England tickets going for any less than £50 for cheap seats and at least £35 for other games we had a chance to boycott games this campaign but didn't take that opportunity and with our last two home games of this campaign being a sell out there is only one way ticket prices will go for wc games Edited July 30, 2015 by blackcountry jock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langtonian Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I boycotted games Is the Poland game a sell out?Germany was a struggle to sell out,Georgia,nowhere near a sell out,Gib game,what was it 30k which included 10k free tickets given out.

tartanpar Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I bought a season ticket. I planned going to all the games so makes sense to save myself money. I go to see Scotland so makes no odds to me if it is Germany or Gibraltar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langtonian Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) That's where we differ.Having served my time some 40+ years following Scotland there comes a time when ripping the pish ticket price wise you have to make a stance and £32 for a game against the likes of Gib is ripping the pish.The whole debacle surrounding the season ticket guaranteeing this and that was a piss take also.We are no longer seen as supporters but cash cows.We see wages frozen some even cut yet ticket prices continue to rise If supporters continue to fork out prices will continue to go up Edited July 31, 2015 by Langtonian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenfrewBlue Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Football is not a value for money product. The cost has increased every year but the quality of the entertainment has reduced considerably. The fact that the facilities at Hampden are pish too doesn't help. You can't buy food without queuing for an eternity and missing some of the game you've paid to watch. You can't go to the toilet unless you want dysentery and your miles from the pitch. Having said that Ibrox is just as bad other than the distance to the pitch and I still buy tickets for there.......

girvanTA Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 They should take a leaf out of Bayern Munichs season ticket prices which start off at £104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robroysboy Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I think this time they may be forced into a 2 tier pricing system. (Which will probably mean £45 for Malta etc. & £90 for England). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 They should take a leaf out of Bayern Munichs season ticket prices which start off at £104 Part of the reason they can not is they say UEFA changed the rating of the North Stand.... SFA had it as a Cat B price bracket, but UEFA said due to the view you are getting, it should be a Cat A pricing (which the South Stand is). I questioned them on this as the key word they used was "UEFA", and said would that mean under FIFA ruling the price would be different for the World Cup (the question caught them off guard, as they did not know the answer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deecie Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 They should take a leaf out of Bayern Munichs season ticket prices which start off at £104 Go try to buy a Bayern ST, bet you pay closer to 10x that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
