Rangers game tickets...

Not a fan of the pricing but the cup derbies recently were sell outs and they had higher priced tickets think mine was £35 plus booking fee of course.

 

Derbies should always be a bigger draw than playing some new diddy club that's never won anything. 😁

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. 

Did you have enough LP’s for this on your own account or buying on a PHM’s

account? Just curious to know as you seem to boycott more games than you attend these days

Aye but you've announced it rick, you've informed the world. You've typed it all up for everyone to sit there and admire.

 

I bet you even said "submit reply" out loud in a 'thatll get them told' type of voice as you hit the reply button before slowly sitting back in your seat letting out a slow, satisfied sigh.

 

Thats why you are THE man.

Aye that’s exactly what I done. 
Are you going?

They will maybe think the low turnout is due to the rank rotten product on the park.  People wont spend this kind of money if they think we are getting pumped out.  If we were flying there would be a scramble for tickets whatever the price.

Had or have? They drop off every season you know? Curious as to know how many you have. Hope you don’t think I’m picking on you as I don’t want reported for cyber bullying. 
 

Im also curious as to what price people in general would be taking up the option of buying - £20 or £25 in order to attend. Is an extra £5 or £10 really the deciding factor or is it really down to the 5h1te performances this year? 
 

 

I still can’t believe our own fans wouldn’t turn up in there thousands to cheers us on in a quarter final cup tie at home against the weeg. Sad time’s indeed and an even sadder indictment of all that’s wrong with the playing side and not the business side of HMFC imo!

I Have 98 LP probably not as much as a PHM like you but easily enough to get me to any game I want including Easter Road. 
I do of course buy the odd away ticket but don’t attend to keep the points up. I give the tickets to someone who takes their nephew now and again. Is that allowed??

Ach I know but its a bit like that daft, one eyed, slavering auld mutt thats never been quite right since it choked on a bit lego and now shits and pishes all over the place and tries desperately to dry hump the kitchen table legs. You want to hate it, you want it put out its very obvious painful misery. You know youd be doing it a favour melting it with a shovel and lobbing it in the canal.

 

But then he makes those big eyes at you and rolls over and before you know it you find yourself tickling his belly.

Flights cost me £150 and a Hotel £50, £20 for the tram into town. 

 

I DESERVE to be bought beers but it looks like nobody is going so you can all GTF and I'll buy my own. 

[deejtee]

I thought I would go when the draw was made but have still not bought a ticket. I suppose last season the cup was a welcome distraction from extremely tedious league form. This year avoiding relegation is the be all and end all and sadly I can't be bothered trailing down to watch. Neither of my chums that I sit beside are around this  weekend and my son is busy in Aberdeen which made my mind up for me. Sadly this season we have bigger fish to fry even if it is the tiddler of avoiding automatic relegation.

 i hope it is a good game and the fans see a performance that boosts confidence for the remaining league games.

Thats a good total rick and not to be taken

PHM? I know what it means I just don’t know what it stands for. I’m no better or worse than the piss poor Hearts fan that can’t afford to go. That doesn’t make them any less Hearts fans because they can’t afford the price of a ticket.  My argument is with the ones who can afford it but won’t go. The ones who will flock to the pub in droves and spend more on drink than £30.  This is a big game for us and we need every single voice heard to cheer us on. I’ve actually bought some tickets for pals that can’t afford to go this game. It’s a thing i do regularly infact. I want fans that can’t afford to go, feel they’re still a part of our club as it’s all our HMFC. 
 

 I’m not aware of everyone’s financial circumstances and I’m in the fortunate position to be self employed with a decent salary that enables me to attend home and away. I grew up in saughton mains with feck all and getting a roast dinner on a Sunday was seen as an achievement. If we went to Tynie we were given a lift over the boys gate. Always stood in the Gorgie road end as you could back then, unless it was the weeg or the hobos. I’ve known what it’s like to have nothing and then later on in married life, with four kids to raise then the price of a game was always way too expensive for me. Thankfully my family are all grown up now. 
 

As a side note, a former club captain actually bought me and my son a ticket as I couldn’t afford to go to the 98 cup final. I barely managed to buy my son the away top for the momentous day that lay ahead and I counted every penny I spent that day. I travelled with him and scott crabbe for what was the greatest day out I’ve ever witnessed. Much better than 2012 (it should’ve been ten). This week, after 22 years, I finally get the chance to repay my thanks  as I’m taking him on Saturday as my honoured guest at the captains table. 
 

As for following the ethos of our former club captain then I got 18 tickets for last years cup final and gave them all away to family and friends that couldn’t afford to go or otherwise wouldn’t have been able to attend.  I even paid their travel and bought them a pint and a bite to eat. That still doesn’t make me a PHM. Just a fan that cares deeply about our club.
 

So maybe rick you can see why I get really pissed off about people moaning about an extra fiver to help us through to the next round. 
 

PS. PHM doesn’t exist. It’s a myth that’s been created by Uber jambos. You’re either a fan or you’re not!

We get 15 though, and more importantly a bit of support that is going to be very much needed.

 

Cant believe as a support we are just going to wave a white flag at this one.

 

That's not the Hearts I fell in love with

[1953]

I have a family thing on in the afternoon which makes it difficult for me to get to the game. If we were playing well I'd bust a gut to get there but as we're not I'm not going to bother, save the cash and watch it on telly with the whole family, so it's how we're playing for me rather than the cost of a ticket. If there wasn't anything else on on Saturday I'd be there. I suspect that a lot of folks will be saying that the low ticket uptake is down to form.

It's nothing new though. There's a bulk of the support that cry out for an excuse to miss these types of games. 

 

Fans should just be honest and say they won't go because they fear defeat, it's human nature for some, nothing to be ashamed off.

Both games are on TV

As we only get 3.5k for the derby not everyone will have the choice, yet many like yourself have decided not to support the club in a home cup quarter final.

Using that logic I’m assuming you won’t be going to Hampden for any semi or final? We won’t get the full face value income, possibly/probably won’t be a derby, will be on tv, ticket price will be over £20.
