shull Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 They are taking the piss. A £1.80 ticket nearly 40 years ago should be just over a Tenner today. http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/bills/article-1633409/Historic-inflation-calculator-value-money-changed-1900.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Concert tickets would be an eye-opener. My first gig was in 1974. Slade at the Apollo. £2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Saints Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Each to their own. Haven't set foot in either for 25 plus years but singling folk out who do is nonsense. How any individual decides to spend their hard earned is entirely up to them. It's nothing to do with cost for me either, wouldn't go if it was a fiver but as I say totally up to each individual.

My virtual cuddle would have helped you. Dinnae fret about Munoz, he is more than capable of giving a cheeky retort, you're not. You are actually very poor .

Companies set prices according to what they think people will pay. Nobody is forcing you to pay. Edited July 20, 2019 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do happen to think ticket prices at some grounds are on the high side. As it happens I didn't attend the Celtic away game last season but if supporters want to attend that's surely their decision.

Although fan power could change everything. By leaving Stadiums empty and protesting about sky high prices, Clubs would have to think again. Unfortunately, supporting your Team is a heavy duty addiction for some who will pay anything for their fix. Emotional Extortion. Thankfully I am now cleansed.

StanleySaint Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 I look forward Shull to your nationwide campaign to have prices reduced accompanied by your organising of a boycott with fans of other clubs taking a full part after which I will applaud your undoubted knighthood!

shull Posted July 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 I can only do my bit. Fans of the two biggest clubs could do the right thing for once and sort the problem out. Imagine their Stadiums lying empty for a few games. All their fans saying no to a forty quid gate price for a cup final. Mind you, I would prefer both clubs dead.

Just because you can't afford the prices doesn't mean stadiums are going to lie empty for games. Crowds are up in Scotland. and English crowds too despite some eye watering entry fees. You are just feeling the bitter sting of being left behind financially. Just do the honourable thing, stop fecking bleating like a child and actually do something about it. You are all mouth and no bollocks. Edited July 20, 2019 by oaksoft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shull Posted July 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Our average league match we can muster around 4000 home fans. Make just one league game not valid on the Season Ticket, charge 25 quid at the gate and. we will be lucky to get 2000 home fans attending.

Ayrshire Saints Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Very poor at what exactly? I too pick and choose my games as I said but it's a personal choice.

Be better choosing a different team the way things are going. Anyway, if you wish to pay 30 pounds for a game of pish football then wire in. It's a horrible addiction. Hope you get cured and cleansed, like me. If you can't, it will be FORTY POUNDS in a few Seasons. I am well out. I can't even afford to get the bus to Greenhill Road to pick up a complimentary ticket. Fecking dammit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
