Here we are today now pushing 18000 with extra hospitality for fans, in-house shop and in-house catering Gotta take yer hat of to both the supporters and club The future is Maroon Exactly and the thought of possibly hitting 18,000 at home to Livi as well is impressive where as you say about budgeting for about 12,000 in seasons gone by this game would’ve been one of them. How far we’ve come in such a short space of time is amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been a bug bear of mine for a while as I moan about Dundee charging us £28 and other teams charging well over £20 yet we charge £28. I'd like to see the away fans charged a flat £20 (unless it's a Cat A game). Whilst we may lose a bit of money, our away support would benefit and hopefully more away fans would attend games.

Rangers and Celtic - Cat C Hearts and Hibs - Cat B All others - Cat A Main difference is Cat C games they will not sell tickets on the day, Cat B they MIGHT sell tickets on the day, Cat A they will sell tickets on the day.

I'm not sure what it does to the actual tickets sold scenario though, with dozens of seats being sold twice. However, it's all positive of course.

Silvery_Moon Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Great effort from the fans yet again.
