It would have been one of their largest visiting supports of the season but I am sure many feel the same way as I do. £27 is too much for the top flight, never mind the championship. Anyone who pays £27 to watch their team play Dundee United in the second tier of Scottish football is agreeing that it's an acceptable price for a ticket. Don't go. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, it's pretty wild how much the prices have increased the last few years. it looks like $25 is the lowest Premiership PATG, so its coming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Blue Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Ticket prices throughout the keague are too high imo but Fucking hell. £27 to get into Tannadice is an absolute rip off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 15 hours ago, TxRover said: This is the upcoming issue, ticket prices aren’t really that far out of line, but they feel that way. Breaching the £20 mark for the Championship has been coming, but Dundee United should certainly have tried to keep it £25 (or less) if they wanted any away crowds. Last year their base price was £26-28 in the Premiership!

You replied to a post with regards to how much away fans will pay at Tannadice, with an incorrect figure for how much they'd pay at EEP. If you're quoting the highest price why not go all out and say how much a hospitality box is at each ground? Or, you can keep it simple and just say how much away fans will pay at each ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you did literally any research whatsoever then it's perfectly clear how much away fans will be getting charged at EEP this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't go. They're banking on clowns like me having a moan about it then going anyway, and plenty of people will do exactly that. I don't think it's a remotely acceptable price but we've not played at Tannadice in over 20 years, so as much as I think £27 is ridiculous I'll probably pay it (once). From what I can see on here that's their most expensive matchday price so is there any chance the away section could be slightly less? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’m the same, I’ve never been so it’s a ground I need to tick off the list. Not going back after that though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't go. That's it in a nutshell. Clubs will only do what fans let them away with. I know it's harder in football because you can't just take your business elsewhere, you want to watch your team and therefore feel like you have no choice but to pay it. I was quite looking forward to going to Tannadice having not been there in a long time, but I won't be going at that price. If fans are serious about dealing with ticket prices then they will need to make some level of sacrifice by not going to grounds which are overcharging. It is the only thing that will make any difference. You can be sure that if Tannadice still get decent away supports this season other clubs will be looking at it and gradually be putting up their prices next season and beyond, knowing that they can get away with it. Paying to get in and then getting banners out is idiotic, it only serves to show the club that even when you don't like it you'll still suck it up and pay anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 While I completely agree with the above, I don't think attendance of away fans either way will shift Dundee United's owners. They've already shown more than enough evidence that they're completely detached from reality. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to clarify, then Poet’s post was ideal. ICT got listed with two because it was easily seen that two levels of cost were specified, for the EEP it wasn’t nearly as evident. Sorry if that offends, posts always welcome correcting this…I’ll add a * for you. As for research, if teams wouldn’t make pricing rather difficult to determine… Edited July 28, 2023 by TxRover -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've already shown more than enough evidence that they're completely detached from reality. How much more detached are the Home fans who might pay for a ST at a rate that’s higher than PATG for all 18 games in the hopes of a discount in future years? I’d love to know how many of the £500 ST’s they sold…but even as it is, they’ve shifted over 5,000 ST. While most of this will be at the massively lower Early Bird or Renewal rates, it’s still £19 a game at the cheapest ST rate, and the majority will have been the £21+ ST’s that offer a “massive” savings of up to 11% off PATG (less than 2 games). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that or stand and beg a nearby steward to take £2 from them before they enter the away end, both ridiculous options that no one is going to take. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poet says "away support will all be £21". Why would we fight it out? For an away fan to pay £23 you'd have to sit in the home end. Why would any away fan be doing that?

If it clearly spells that out, it's wrong. 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. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
