If your theory is brought in then I’m a bit pissed off . Dont get me wrong , I’m not having a go at all but there has to be a balance. A £15 walk up price over 18 games is a lot less than I pay for my ST If you buy a season ticket I presume you are aware of your working hours, availability to attend games etc in advance. I don't in my work. This is why walk ups are so important for those of us who don't know in reasonable advance of when they can attend. Am I to buy a season ticket just to help the club and not get the benefit of attending? No of course not. Nobody in their right mind would expect that of normal , hard working, shift working individuals. £15 over 18 games might be less than your season ticket but it's not going to be bought by the same person week in week out. Season ticket benefits people who can attend regular-100% .. That seat that's empty week in week out to the left/right of you.. club could get £15 for that every week. Plus pies etc... Making season tickets cheaper in future because the stadium is fuller more regularly..... What I'm trying to say is that the inflated prices for walk ups/individual tickets is, IMO, detrimental to the club long term. I, and many others, can't afford it. The club should be attracting fans, not turning them off by inflated prices. for what it's worth, I think season tickets are over priced aswell.. It has been alluded too earlier in the thread that Doncaster et al are seriously negligent in marketing the game up here. This has a massively detrimental effect on prices in the game. Seriously shite TV = Pricier entry fees for the lifeblood of the game. i.e. the ordinary fans, be them season tickets, occasional attenders or walk ups.

Kirky Jambo Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I should know the answer to this but is there a way to “give back” your season ticket for a particular game to the club so they can sell it for a knockdown price? I have a season ticket but can’t attend quite frequently. Sometimes manage to give it to someone but as I’m based in the west it’s not always possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clark Griswold Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Was at a game in Moscow recently and it cost £13 a ticket, cheap Metro to and from the ground from anywhere in the city centre, cheap wee Wrap thing and a water at half time.

Byyy The Light Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) Think the OP is at the wind up to be honest. Having said that I personally I think season ticket prices are too high. Season ticket holders should get a right good saving and other wee bonuses like free drink with a pie and discount for hospitality. Better to have 17,000 season ticket holders not giving too much of a feck and feeling good than 13,000 folk grudgingly paying and feeling they’re getting taken for granted And the rest in the humpty cos they’re paying over the odds to walk up in order to justify the price of a season ticket Edited August 21, 2019 by Byyy The Light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Internet Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 It does seem overpriced but I mean it's just the economy isn't it, Scottish clubs need to charge these prices to make sure they've got enough money coming in. It's not like they're doing it for a laugh. I'm sure if they were able to sell tickets at a fiver they'd do it but it wouldn't be sustainable. A better TV deal might bring prices down. And I'm not sure they can arbitrarily set 1000 seats at £15 as those 1000 seats likely have the same views and everything as a lot of other seats, so they'd then need to bring the price down for all those other ones or you've got folk paying more for essentially the same seat.

credit card Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Agreed home tickets are overpriced. My gripe is why should they be full price when a match is televised? So you fork out for your ST or a single ticket to watch us play in December. There's usually 5 games that month (Doncaster is a twat) and you've got Santa competing with your wallet as well. The game is midweek so you fight the extra Xmas traffic to get home first and then back out there and there's a howling wind sand blasting your tammie. You get out of Gorgie's Siberia by diving into the pub. Although its warm it is rammed as everyone else has the same idea. You then face the risk of gooly frostbite in the stands watching Willie Collum gift wrapping a dodgy penalty to the other team. With icicles dripping from your beak you negotiate the icy pavements like bambi all the way back to your bus stop using your swinging Hearts scarf as a counterweight to avoid falling. But someone else is sitting in a nice warm house or pub in comfort - yet you pay full whack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingantti1874 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 You can’t blame the clubs, they reduce prices, turnover goes down, the level of player goes down, the fans moan, the gates drop.. it’s that simple. the real problem is the lack of outside investment in the league.

Shaggy2 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Does anyone genuinely believe that a football club’s first course of action when receiving cash, say from an improved TV deal, will be to reduce ticket prices? Reducing ticket prices won’t even be on a board meeting agenda. As for requesting that walk up prices are £15 (lower than your ST per game)? Wow, just wow! I’d like to see a cap on away pricing like there is in England. I believe it’s £30 down there, so £20 up here should just about do it. A similar maximum charge for ST holders of both clubs involved (maybe up that to £30 as some games are huge and could be sold out several times over) to gain entry to cup ties. For walk-ups who attend as often as possible there could be a loyalty card. You could pay £30 for your first game of the season, £29 for your next, £28 for your third and so on, down to a minimum price of £20. If you found you were able to attend all 19 home games that would total £435 if my calculations are correct. Not much more than a Gold ST, but essentially it is more as it just has to be.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) At one game last season I didn't use my usual ST seat and joined a mate in the front row of the Gorgie as he had a spare ticket. The view was terrible and if people are being asked for £21 for that then it isn't good value. About half that would be OK for row one and maybe £15 for row two!

People that work some weekends and can only go to so many walk up games and want a decent seat are paying nearly 70 quid if they go with a mate or the missus and that's before travel costs, food, a few pints etc. To a game against Hamilton ******* Accies. That's the point though, only the best seats are that price. Thanks to having a great stadium, there are plenty good seats available at a much cheaper price and kids tickets are cheaper still.

That's true, but even the upper Roseburn and Gorgie are 29 quid each and are the second cheapest seats available. That's 60 quid for two folk in seats that are not exactly great tbh.

fabienleclerq Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I'm working and unlikely to make the game, I have an adult and child season ticket you can have for a donation to big hearts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
