No…

Yes, they were. They were both saying Away Support would be £21. They were both saying the same thing, that away support at EEP would be £21. Whether that is correct or not is irrelevant, my statement was correct.

Yes

I never stated PATG prices were Away support only. In fact, as I use the PATG prices to calculate values for ST’s just above that post, it’s pretty clear why I’m using it, AND also listing the £21 price as an option.

You don’t like the post, fine…post a correction, but please don’t make it out like I’m somehow deliberately misrepresenting things when both options were clearly conveyed in the edited top summary post. I’m simply trying to gather data from all over in one place.

In the below post you state that away fans will pay £23 at Dunfermline, they won't. They'll pay £21.

Some of the mild sting of the Raith tiered pricing (£22 Base +£2 for Pars and DU) for some Away fans is taken away by the Pars and Arbroath setting their prices at £23.

You know, I went back through this thread and verified:

1) No Pars fan posted any ticket price data until now.

2) It’s clearly shown in the headers for summary prices I’m using best seats PATG and ST prices.

3) Some Away fans at EEP will indeed pay £23, for the best seats.

So, it’s easy, post the prices when they come out and I’ll add them in that way instead of having to dig through news stories from other clubs looking for them. As it is, you’ve successfully told readers on page 4 and 5 what the first post on page 1 said all along (spoiler, £23/21 and, to paraphrase, main/other). Sorry if my postings didn’t meet your exacting standards for the correct phrasing, red dot away.

They will be ejected from the ground if they try that, or at least escorted into the away end.

I really don't know how many times I'll have to post this, but they won't.

We won't.  You can buy tickets for the game against the Pars right now, and the max price is £21.

[TxRover]

The issue has been resolved, the first post amended to better reflect intent of pricing commentary…I’d still pay the £2 to rustle the sweeties though.

This may be an unpopular take but I think most teams are offering good value for money (unless your team is utter dugmeat) considering the price increases for almost everything else, especially those teams offering heavily discounted children's tickets. 

Prices haven't only really been going up a £1 or so a season for patg for a number of years, I really don't think that's too unreasonable in most cases. 

Disclaimer obviously that I appreciate a lot of folk are struggling atm so money is tight.

There doesn't seem to be any financial benefit to buying a season ticket for the Main Stand for us as its the exact same cost as buying the advance priced tickets for all 18 home games.

I don’t know maybe it’s just me but for the teams coming up this year the jump from league 1 prices last season to the championship this season seems quite substantial. 

It’s going to cost roughly £10 extra most weeks for me and the wee mans tickets when compared to what we paid last season. Some clubs will be even more. I know it’s been many years since we last played in the second tier but was the jump always like that?

I think the plan was for us to go to every ground at least once but Dundee Utd can get that to f**k

Best comparison offhand was 2021-2022, with the Championship clustered around £20 and League One around £15 for adult PATG. This years prices are generally up about £2 over the last couple of years, except the high of Dundee at £24 was replaced by Dundee United at £27. I think 2022-2023 was viewed as a year to get the fans back in the habit, so the prices didn’t jump much from what little there was in 2021-2022 and 2020-2021.

Honestly, it’s not going to get better, so may was well go now if you want to check off a place like Tannadice…It’ll be an easy £30 if they go back up. To an extent it’s an investment in time and experience with the wee man, so it might just be worth it, especially if you think that the predictions on Airdrie heading back down may be correct.

If you bought your season ticket in the loyalty or early bird periods you would have made some savings, which I imagine most would have used. The price being shown is also the discounted rate for match day tickets.

So while it does look like there isn’t any savings to be made there was plenty of opportunity or new or existing season ticket holders to make the normal savings of a season ticket.

Are they adding £2 within 3 hours again?

Edit: Nevermind, they are.

That likely moves ICT PATG prices to £22 for most away fans not buying online.

That's just a bit disingenuous

Yeah that's true. But I'm sure the ST prices used to always be less than the cost of buying match day tickets whether it was early bird or just "normal" ST prices.

Pretty much ICT are the only team whose “full price ST” doesn’t save* the equivalent of at least 3 PATG tickets…except Dundee United, who change their ST holders more than PATG prices. That is without QP’s PATG prices yet.

QP PATG - 

Tickets are priced at:

Adult – £20
Concession 65+ – £13
Young Spider 15 and under – £8
Students – £13*

https://queensparkfc.co.uk/queens-park-v-arbroath-tickets-on-sale/

 

[TxRover]

And we finally have at least some of everyone's PATG prices...

Airdrie - £20 adult, £15 O-65,  £13 16-17/students/unemployed/disabled, £8 U-16, £25 parent/child.

Arbroath - Seats/Terrace Adult £23/21 Concession £16/14, Adult w/1 child £26/24, Adult w/2 child £29/26.

Ayr - £22 adult, £15 O-65/student/13-17, £6 U-13.

Dundee United - £27 Adult, £17 Concession, £5 U-12.

Dunfermline - SJR South/Rest Adult and Young Adult £23/21, Disabled Senior, O-75, Student and U-18 £17/15, U-12 £9/7 

ICT - (Main/North or South) £22/£20 (£24/£22 within 3 hours of kickoff) Adult, £17/£15 (£19/£17) Senior Citizens, £14/£12 (£16/£14) 16-21, £8 (£6) Up to 16.

Morton - £22 Adult, £16 O-65 and 16-21, £5 12-15 and U-12 w/paying adult.

Partick - £22 Adult, £16 O-65/Student/U-18, £6 U-16.

Queens Park - £20 Adult, £13 U-65 and Student, £8 U-16.

Raith Rovers - DU & DAFC/Other £24/22 Adult, £16/14 O-65, £15/13 U-21, £10/8 U-16, U-12 Free.

 

That means an adult away fan looking to visit all 9 opponents grounds will be paying £192+ for admission. That's an average of £21.33+ per ticket, but the unluckiest fan would be the Pars fan, who arrives late at the Caledonian and wants to sit at Gayfield...they end up paying £202, or £22.44.

Strange pricing notes...Queen's Park hates kids, especially compared to their other prices. A U-16 ticket costs 40% of an adult ticket...Airdrie hates kids on their own. U-16 is again 40%, but with a parent, it's 25%...The Pars hate teens, with a 71% cost for teens...Raith hates the Pars and DU with a £2 surcharge, while ICT hates late purchasers with the £2 increase in tickets starting 3 hours from the kickoff.
