SwindonJambo Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 £30 for bronze is daft when £2 more gets you gold. I’m heading up for this and look forward to it.

Shanks said no Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Year 1097 Scotland gets a new king Edgar, (born c. 1075—died Jan. 8, 1107, Edinburgh, Scot.), king of Scots from 1097, eldest surviving son of Malcolm III Canmore and Queen Margaret (granddaughter of King Edmund II of England) and thus the first king of the Scots to unite Celtic and Anglo-Saxon blood. As vassal to King William II Rufus of England, he was placed on the Scottish throne to succeed the Celtic, anti-English Donald Bane, his uncle, who was deposed. In 1098 Edgar ceded the Hebrides to Magnus III, king of Norway, who had been raiding the islands. Edgar was a generous benefactor of the church; a contemporary historian (St. Aelred of Rievaulx) called him the equal of Edward the Confessor in personal merit. He died unmarried and was succeeded by his brother Alexander I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away tickets should be priced exactly the same as any home tickets for similar areas of the ground. This is exactly what Heats do, so an away ticket in the upper sections of the school end costs the same as a home ticket in the upper sections of the school or Gorgie ends, and likewise for lower section tickets.

No, I don’t think it should be either. I’m all for ripping off the Old Firm, it’s what their fans deserve for taking the easy option and supporting one half of that. Even £28 for Livingston to come to Tynecastle is ridiculous. I’d like to see the club take a stance and make tickets no more than £20.

Can't believe you'd want to charge them less as they sell out anyway. We charge £20 for bronze in category B games and £28 for Gold. We only charge a fiver for U.13's. Seems pretty fair to me.

I mentioned them cutting their allocations because they’re both petty wee institutions with a massive ego. Therefore, they’re likely to do to others, what they do to them. It’s kinda simple to see what my point is there, like. I know exactly how much I was charged for a ticket for Ibrox. I was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
