Miss Saint Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Haven't been in a few years so can't comment on quality. £133 is ridiculous and for me all games should be the see same price - we are there to st.mirren doesn't matter who we playing! Always annoyed me paying extra cos we playing one of the ugly sisters - why??? Not that I'd go when playing those feckers mind you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club can sell out easily for category A games so charges more as it only has so many seats it can sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People seem to want to cut into the club's budget at every turn, whether it be ticket prices, hospitality or even the price of the replica kit. This is part of supporting the club - financial support to help it compete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Part of supporting the Club is allowing yourself to be ripped off. £45 for a Top which is worth around £12 or less. £20 for Admission where less than £10 would be sufficient. Hospitality miles overpriced for the standard served up. FOOTBALL CLUBS REALLY RIPPING THE ARSE OUT IT. Unfortunately, we all love our Team unconditionally and accept most of the shite thrown at us.

What you have to laugh at is the club having the balls to firstly suggest that there exists "Category A" games in the second tier of Scottish football, and subsequently it is beyond question they can charge more for these games.... the chickens always come home to roost, like when they struggle to sell hospitality as a matchday bar!

Do you think that St. Mirren F.C. should unilaterally reduce the price of everything and thereby put itself at a disadvantage to its peers/competitors?

Lord Pityme Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Maybe.... its just a thought? if you declare yourself a 'Category C! supporter you get to attend hospitality at the cheapest rate? Two can play at that game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSS Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 When we were in the SPL entrance at the turnstile to a Cat A game was more expensive than B or C games.This doesn't happen in the Championship so why should it happen at Hospitality?

Complaining about a price is tantamount to saying that budgets should be cut? i don't recall anyone saying they wanted to cut in to budgets, in fact the tone is positive. if the product on offer was value for money then more would partake more often. Supply and demand would dictate that you then expand availability of the offering whilst maintaining prices and improving quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already been covered. This is all about following the Football Club we love unconditionally. It is bad enough not doing away matches due to price. IT IS EMOTIONAL EXTORTION It is not like buying.goods like Alcohol. If a Pub is overpriced, then there is always the cheap Pub along the Road. St Mirren is a partnership of deep love.

Supply and demand would dictate that you then expand availability of the offering whilst maintaining prices and improving quality. I get it from Shull wanting gate prices cut from £20 to £10, replica tops sold for £12 instead of £45 and hospitality prices to be slashed. If we make less money, we have less money to spend - this is what we call our budget. Supply and demand doesn't really apply when you have a finite number to whom you can sell - less than 8,000 seats to sell, so around the same number of people who would buy a top (although far less than that in reality as many older guys get weird about wearing a football top...). Reducing the prices as advocated by Shull would mean a drop in revenue, even if we sold out the stadium and the tops. It's not that hard to grasp, surely?

Cannae get why some don't understand that Yes indeed we all love our club unconditionally, and we are all wanting the best value for the money we pay to support them. Admission prices are one thing, and I agree that it's far from cheap, but like it or not, our survival as a professional club is reliant on money coming in through the gates, but hospitality is NOT compulsory, it is a choice.

Not for the first time you have completely lost me. Are you drunk? I could be excused for thinking you have missed the sarcasm in my original question, but then I think nah, no one could be that stupid. Not even shull.

Same answer I gave before Squire, it's just supply and demand. The demand for the likes of a Morton game is huge. They can only sell circa 200 seats for any game so they price it high to maximise the revenue they take. The games against the likes of Brechin have lower demand, so they price lower to attract people through the doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
