Yes at bottom tier prices of £15, so you were paying Bronze for Premium Seats. This game is the reverse you are potentially paying £30 to get Row 1 next to the floodlight pylon in the Gorgie!!

David McCaig Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Just now, Boab said: Just edited there, D. Good edit, I had a nagging feeling it was £12 but was too lazy to check. But this meant that Bronze paid a fair price and everyone else got a bargain. £30 for Premium and Platinum is perfectly reasonable, but charging top whack for Gold, Silver and Bronze is just daft. Personally, I usually sit in Platinum and took advantage of the opportunity to buy seats for me and my boys in Premium. But overall the ticket sales look truly woeful for the Rangers match, whereas the attendance for the Airdrie game was exceptional for a modern era Scottish Cup match.

However for families on a budget £30 is expensive and an adults and 2 kids will set you back the best part of £60 after booking fees.

rick witter Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 We are also playing Hibs 3 days after it and have to shell out £30 for that also. Guaranteed there will be loads of fans who simply can’t afford to go to both games. I will be at Easter Road but I’m not shelling out £30 for a cup quarter final. A semi or a final is fine but £20 maximum should have been the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not so sure I think this time it’s the price. Hearts have shown that we have the most loyal fans in the country considering we have been shocking in terms of results for the last 18 months. We usually have a great support home and away. The prices of tickets are just outrageous and that is why sales are slow.

DETTY29 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) 40 minutes ago, ramrod said: Anyone know the ticket prices for the other 3 quarters ? Yes, On the other thread I've done a wee bit of research. But as it's based on research, no-one bothered to ever respond. (prob as all long winded) Based on adult pricing. https://www.hmfckickback.co.uk/index.php?/topic/187574-£30-budge-you-can-ram-it/&do=findComment&comment=7735095 The key analyisis is that all games are just a couple of quid here or there cheaper compared to walk up prices and season ticket holders aren't being given discounts either. That said, I hadn't included Hibs v. ICT who are £20 for their season ticket holders during a reserved period increasing to £22.. The same for ICT. Other research on the thread I'd found out All games seem to be an 'across' the board pricing structure irrespective of where your seat is at this stage. The £30 is cheaper than any walk up equivalent of £32 v. Rangers in league. £8 is the recommended minimum price for quarter finals. There is no SFA arbitration if clubs don't agree and the recommendation is to go to the league pricing equivalent if agreement cannot be reached. Hearts season ticket holders will have paid £57 up to quarter final, Hibs £62 (£20 replay v. Utd, £22 seat at Ochilview, £20 v.ICT) It has been suggested a couple of times by others that Hearts wanted to go cheaper but Rangers refused. Also suggested game v. Hibs in Scottish Cup appears to have been £34 each. I think the pricing is too high but that is the wider problem for Scottish football and it's inability to identify sufficient tv and sponsorship deals rather than this game specific. Ladbrokes and Wlliam Hill are oulling out from the SPFL and Scottish Cup too although obviously we have no idea if new partners are in discussions.
