Mazziessc Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) £25 a game on average is decent and as well as we could have expected. No sure how much lower people want it. On the way football is priced in the UK (and it is over priced), that's as good as its gonna get I'm afraid. As much as I can't stand the SFA they have made an arse of pricing for years, last campaign the worst - they didn't make the draw and get us at least two games v absolute shite. Are people honestly saying we shud then pay more if it was better opposition? Edited January 29, 2016 by Mazziessc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ByronLoon1986 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 As an SSC member and a greedy miserable Aberdonian I still think the prices are too high and the SFA need to take a right good look at themselves! I won't be buying a season ticket as I won't manage the Malta and Slovakia games due to them being midweek and I'll be working!! So that leaves Lithuania £37 Slovenia £37 and England £57!!!!!!! ARE YOUS FOR REAL... And remember I've got to get to Glasgow on top of this... All this to support a team who failed miserably to qualify for Euro 2016 The thing is though I will because I love my country and travel to ALL the away games but if your someone who joins just for home games and the odd away game you're being fleeced IMO Rant over..

Geeman Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 What are people still expecting. Into the fitba for a ha'penny and lift your lad over the turnstiles! They have listened to the fans and made the prices cheaper for Malta, slightly more expensive for the winnable but yet competitive games, and top price bracket for the one team that the whole country wants to see play at Hampden. Think it's fair. And £180 for north stand is relatively speaking fair compared to last campaign. What they should have done is move the Denmark friendly about to some other stadium. Preferably hint hint, up north to Pitodrie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Think the pricing is fair. It's £20 to £22 to Firhill. Think of the prices for premiership and championship matches where half the players play (our sit on bench). Food, bevvy, transport cannot be taken into account when pricing as they are variable and impact different people in different ways. The sfa does not make a profit for private owners or shareholders. Profit is used to fund Scottish football, run the regional academies, give to club youth development and pay for coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzo Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 If it fell on a midweek then they would struggle to sell tickets, as interest would be nowhere near as high, but with it being a weekend game it will probably add more people on the day, so they are chancing their luck by cashing in on this a little bit.totally agree ?

The problem being that the reinvestment of this profit has not brought any tangible benefits, the national stadium is not the greatest whilst we haven't qualified for a major tournament for 20 years.

DoonTheSlope Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) £37 for Lithuania??? Robbing, brass necked kuntz So much for there policy of not differentiation between each opposition Thinking about it, purchasing a season ticket works out at £25 a game and only one p&p fee then if you are going to all the homes games then it seems fair enough I suppose. That's if your fortunate enough to make every gameAs other posters from further afield have mentioned though midweek games against lesser opposition where they can't make it or have to take a day or two off work then it does take Noel Hunt Edited January 30, 2016 by DoonTheSlope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewelk Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 £37 for a game against Lithuania - Good Lord! I applied for £40 tickets for the Italy v Belgium match at Euro 2016. Similar levels of match no? No... My regular excursions to ligue2 matches every other week cost £7. To put that in perspective, the standard in Ligue2 isn't much different to the SPL. Season ticket is £90. People can try to put it in perspective by comparing these prices to other Scottish football events but Scottish football has been insanely overpriced for many many years. A reality check is sorely needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goozay Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Aye f*ck it your right Season ticket in West Stand purchased Wuft! That was sharp. I hope your seats are up the back and round to the left... I think the ticket pricing for the next campaign is a vast improvement on the previous one. Although that's not hard cause the last one made the SFA look like out-of-touch, money-grabbing, opportunistic barstewards. If they release the ticket prices on the same day they release the cost of renewing SSC membership (including any early bird deal) I might just consider changing my signature.

adamntg Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 I disagree. I think football prices across the board are ludicrous, but I really don't see how these are particularly obscene. They're a huge improvement on the last campaign and the £35 to see Gibraltar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
