151 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Anyone any idea why the tickets for this aren't on sale on the website? Surely it's not just pay at the gates? We always take a large following up and there's usually always a batch of tickets for the old loyalty points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTBCAL Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Been every game but will be giving this a miss. ?25 for an adult and ?15 for kids is a disgrace. I emailed the supporter liaison at Dundee last Xmas to ask why they charged so much more than both we charge their fans and what Dundee charged their home fans for the same game. He actually tried to say we charged kids ?15 for a game at Tynie. Costing ?70 for be and my kids so I will be a pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM1874 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Dundee are absolutely ripping the urine with their pricing ?40 for me and my 6 year old is a disgrace Even ?25 for adult ticket is poor. One of many clubs that make me feel strongly behind the ?20 is plenty argument (appreciate it's not as easy up here because the money available to clubs down south makes it easier to implement) ?20 for adults ?12-15 for concessions ?5 for kids u12 Should be maximum at all Scottish clubs. Obviously a lot of clubs have higher and yes the example is in London, but Leyton Orient change ?30 for adults this season! In the national league Carlisle is ?19 sitting (bought before matchday) prices are just wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

151 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Funny you should say that, I went to Dens on Saturday with my brother whos a St Johnstone fan - and I couldn't believe the pricing. Seen on their website a season ticket is the same as Tynecastle ?380. Their stadium lies half empty every single week so why not lower the prices? Doesn't make sense.

Elmo Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I avoided dens last year due to the pricing It's just too expensive with 2 kids as well We will avoid this also if they charge the same They must reckon the pricing won't deter enough people to justify lowering the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen on their website a season ticket is the same as Tynecastle ?380. Their stadium lies half empty every single week so why not lower the prices? Doesn't make sense. It's a difficult balancing act, unfortunately. Maximizing revenue is the key goal. Fag packet example: Dundee get 5k at ?25 per head = ?125k if they drop the price to ?20 (20%), to get the same revenue, they need 6,125 (25% increase). Any HMFC supporter that decides they are going, are not going to stay away for the sake of an extra ?5. Dundee supporters may, because they may be fed up of what they are seeing. Without doubt though, it's families that have a the real problem in justifying the gate cash.

maroonsgotop Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I've only been to the first game there when we came back up. Not been back since because of the prices.

fabienleclerq Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Similar last year in that I went myself but left the wee man at home. ?15 they wanted for a two year old in the same game home kids were a fiver . Jakey pricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott herbertson Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Will probably go, by bus from Birnam via Perth, but then I've got a bus pass. ?25 is steep though, I agree According to their own website it's a category b game and therefore ?24 for adults http://dundeefc.co.uk/tickets/ticket-information/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think it's time clubs like Dundee, St Johnstone, Killie and others who can't fill a stand let alone a stadium lower prices and get fans through turnstiles. ?10-15 for adults free-?5 for kids and get fans back into supporting the clubs. ?20 maximum for away fans across the league would be ideal as well would appeal to more folk.

I checked my email correspondence with Dundee last Xmas and they did say they were reviewing their child prices so credit where credit is due. Now costing me ?48 as opposed to ?70.

joondalupjambo Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 35 quid for a junior to play my course. Takes 4 hours so 8 quid an hour for attending but exercising. 15 quid for 90 minutes so circa 10 quid an hour for the entertainment at a game and sitting on their bum. Kicking a ball in the park with your mates, costs 0, lots of activity. Sitting in the house playing XBox, costs 0, zero exercise. So for youngsters better playing something outside? Just a thought.
