Pasquale for King Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 24 minutes ago, Luckies1874 said: Dortmund fans staged a protest at the weekend against rumours tickets for Bundesliga games would see their masses have to pay more than €15! Meanwhile in Scotland clubs are charging £30 for cup games that are lunchtime kick offs! There will be plenty empty seats for this one. Wonder if the alleged 3000 peeps on the season ticket list will be given any incentive to attend?! The German fans are quite political, good on them. Unfortunately the other team has to agree to the pricing so we might not have had much option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's widely known that the ultras want a permanent area, most seem to think that the lower Gorgie is the best option. This could be the club testing the water with a view to making it permanent. I'm sure anyone being asked to move that have reasons not to be able to move to the upper section will be accommodated if they contact the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braveheart Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Similar to the rangers game in 2020?only 11500ish turned up for that.no way will it sell out now.should have made it £20 for everyone and dug our heels in.should have made Celtic out to be the bad guys if they didn't agree.

Thumperbeni Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 The pricing, the kick off time, the fact people having to move seats and most improbably our awful record against the old firm will result in there being plenty tickets available prior to kick off, cannot see this selling out whatsoever and even with the waiting list that we have this won’t look too good for us !

When was the last time we sold out a cup game at home to Celtic? Could have probably got away with only opening 3 stands the last time. I suspect it will be a bigger crowd this time as the team is doing better but will likely be loads of empty seats unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Treasurer Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 If, in the unlikely event we get through and are drawn against someone like ICT, will all those who say they won't pay £30 for this game do the same when the SFA charge the same for Hampden ? Nah, didn't think so. Anytime we play an arse cheek in a cup game there is an endless stream of posters giving their "reasons" for not going.

Bazzas right boot Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) £30 is fine. No idea why folk think £20/£25 is ok but £30 is a deal breaker. Surley if you can spunk £20 on a game, then you can spend £30. If it was £28/29 folk wouldn't have batted a eye, start with a 3 and suddenly the difference is massive. Strange how the mind works.

For me it's the cost of my boys two tickets and then the train tickets and food. Bring the price down to £20 and £10 for under 18s then I'm £40 for three tickets and not nearer £60. This then covers my train tickets and food and drink. Maybe both clubs should think long and hard about the current cost of living crisis before they set prices.

If that's the case then maybe folk can't afford the football, travel and food. Also, If you buy food from a shop before you go you'll save that £20 no problem. Going to a football game isn't " a cost of living either" It's a entertainment, I can't afford a hospitality st, so I don't buy one. I also can't afford to go to away games, so I don't go to many. It's not Hearts or footballs fault. Rent, food, fuel, electricity etc are the "cost of living", football is a luxury item. Upto you how you prioritise.

But how many home rugby internationals are there in a normal season? In my view, these prices, for a cup quarter final, are too much (I'll probably go though). That will become clear on the day, when there will be lots of empty home seats. I'm happy to be proved wrong. I'm a senior citizen and pay only for my own ticket, so can afford this. Many will struggle, especially young families. Football lost its way in the 1990s and there's no easy route back. But we are where we are.

Wee Mikey Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Having pondered it whilst in the queue (yes there is one 😄) at the ticket office, £20 is probably about right for any additional game, including Euro ties. I suggested this after our Euro package was announced but was quickly jumped on by posters saying that it was perfectly reasonable when comparing it to league games. However, if it's £20 for Zurich away in one of the world's most expensive locations and £22(?) for Florence, then we really ought not to be getting charged 50% or so more. £20, and fill the stadium regardless of the opposition. It's all 'extra' income after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
