Out of interest what would be your cut off point £22, £24? I think £20 would be fair for the Championship but do and will pay more.

Sure it was last week Rankin was in the press saying he wanted to bring in 1 or 2 still. Because it's accies, Ian. Keep up. Rankin probably didn't even know about the Ban. 3 hours ago, Accie1 said: Surprised a member of the club confirmed this if not already in the public domain. Do you know if it's an automatic thing or at the bequest of SPFL or PFA? Hidden for a reason, our glorious DOF can't have anything that makes him look bad in the public domain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People I know who rarely miss games can’t afford to take their kids and we can forget any walk ups. There was a lot of discussion at the recent Fans Forum and when I said away supports would be half what they should be , the Board Members present disagreed. Well, it is working out as I warned and they only have themselves to blame. Pricing out Accies fans in our 150th season is beyond the pale and perhaps if away fans announced an official boycott, it may force heads to be banged together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think £20 would be fair for the Championship but do and will pay more. I usually attend games with my son so look at the combined parent and child cost rather than the adult ticket price alone. Last season Dundee Utd were charging £25 for an adult but only £5 for an under-12, so £30 combined was as high as I would have gone but even that was pushing it. Ideally an adult ticket for the Championship should be about £20 max. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not justifying our prices at all, but the combined price of a parent and child ticket at Hamilton is a whopping £3 more than at Airdrie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airdrie do a parent and child ticket (under-16) for £27, so actually a £7 difference; no option like that at Accies, it soon adds up over the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its easy to make the argument that "its only a few pounds over" but there has to be a cut off point over which its not affordable. Feel for the accies fans though who have to make that choice every week, will the money from Clyde not give you guys a boost that could cover a few pounds less on the ticket price? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were told at our most recent fans forum (so high chance of this being more BS from Zengin/Brown tbf) that the Clyde agreement actually costs us financially as opposed to us making any gain from it. I can only assume through increased leckie, stewarding and catering costs etc and perhaps limiting the number of events they can put on at the stadium compared to the rent Clyde pay. They are trying to get Clyde out at the end of this season but Clyde have the option to stay for what would be a third/final season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Terrace Gazza Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Your pricing policy is just wild. I didn’t attend our game against you guys solely on the pricing. I sent an email to the club stating as much and asking for them to justify the cost. I didn’t get a reply. It’s one thing for Dundee United to charge this as they were going for the title and have the costs associated with this but for other sides it’s just taking the piss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond8 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Twenty is plenty and I’ve voiced my opinion to my own club on this matter as we are £22. Refuse to go to game that’s are more than £20 per adult ticket but having a season ticket it kind of cancels it out. This isn’t because I can’t afford it instead it’s because there’s already so many people that can’t and the more people continue to pay the more they will continue to charge. Like Dundee united last year, Hamiltons pricing is particularly disgusting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear Clyde's rent is absolutely buttons, so most likely not. I don't know the full details of the agreement we have with the stadium owner with regards to profits being shared with us but as @Scotty Tunbridge alluded to it's more likely than not that staging Clyde games reduces the stadium's profitability than enhances it and therefore is a drain on our income rather than a boost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few folk who were regulars are not going and the numbers in Section A are easily half from last season. Rumours are they are considering putting the PATG price down…to £25. Really, that's a lot and conclusive proof that the current pricing model has failed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
