I totally disagree with the concept. Prices should be set at the initial point of sale. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Surely the ticket price is the ticket price. Anything above this is theft and should be illegal. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houston_bud Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 I realise that was probably said in jest bit evenfor fans of those two clubs, I couldn't support dynamic pricing. It's quite worrying to see teams try it, seems like a slippery slope. Seeing Spurs (and others) starting to get rid of concessions, now this. It's horrendous. Football, certainly at the top level, is eating itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 It's only "dynamic" if it also goes down, otherwise it's price gouging. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unforgivable. For all we moan about Scottish football at times, thank god we're miles away from shite like that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted September 7 Author Share Posted September 7 (edited) Aye, no chance I'm supporting or backing any form of dynamic pricing at any level. It's something that needs to be shot down ASAP and folk will only do so by voting with their feet. Unfortunately for all the controversy over Oasis tickets, those in charge won't give a shiny shit about complaints as they still sold out in a few hours so have free reign to carry on.

Creativity and genuinely exciting players at that level have been replaced with mindless possession machines who will pass the ball sideways rather than run at a man. Ball retention takes precedence above anything else. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Celtic or rangers charging about £90 for the 3 home games package for the champions league and the kick up about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most defensive, safe, manager on the planet who's entire gameplan is around reducing the risk of his side conceding, yet proclaimed some genius everyone should copy while being the only manager in history to have spent over £2bn on signings. 14yo wingers these days being taught to pass back to full backs FFS because it works at the very top level. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it would seem that the people buying tickets at these obscene prices don't give a shiny shit about the prices either. Obviously a big part of this, with respect to concert tickets, is fuelled by individuals with a great deal of disposable income, where money is no object. However, there are people putting themselves in huge debt to purchase tickets to listen to over hyped drivel. In terms of football, I think I get fair value from my season ticket, but if I did fancy going to away games again, the prices at the gates would certainly put me off. We're just as bad. £27 is too much to pay to watch a game of football IMO. The dynamic pricing idea stinks of profiteering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the most frustrating things to watch in football today. I find myself exploding when a player with a clear option to run into space or to pass forward to a player making a run, stops and turns round to pass the ball back, where it inevitably gets passed laterally between a succession of defenders and any attacking momentum is lost. We've been quite guilty of doing it of late. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
