ShaggerG Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 It used to be the case that a club had to charge the same amount for both home and away fans. Does this no longer apply? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride of Fife Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 57 minutes ago, stevoraith said: I just meant because then you’ve got the folk behind one goal paying a different price to the folk behind the other goal for the exact same product. Imagine the complaints if that was the case! Aston Villa are charging £80 a ticket for season ticket holders and £97 for non season ticket holders for Champions League games while away fans at same game will pay £50 each! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't even all that enjoyable to watch, which is the most baffling thing to me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this no longer apply? I think it does. We bump up the PAYG price for home fans as well for these 'premium' matches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPM Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Imagine Falkirk fans having to pay £24 to watch this Raith side. Surely with their hugely talented squad on paper it should be nothing less than £30. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge of allan bairn Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 16 hours ago, RC55 FFC said: Over 850 away end tickets sold so far according to the clubs X account. I think it’ll be about 1200-1250 come KO although could be higher. It’s game 5 of 5 away games on the spin and that takes its toll. Some impressive numbers the last 4 weeks though plus the trip to EEP mid August. 2,700 at Dunfermline 1,100 at Morton 1,800 at Stenhousemuir (Sold Out) 1,700 at Airdrie 2,500 at Celtic (Sold Out) And 850 and counting at Raith… Rough count, approx 1,100 away end tickets sold now 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmmm got to love that kebaby goodness that fuels our club and pays for half the staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthStander1876 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 All the stick Hamilton are getting for £25 tickets. Raith's are £24. Just as bad and going mostly unnoticed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the slight uplift puts anyone off going? £48 for 2 tickets feels a lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id imagine the uplift will make more people buy either U21 or O65 tickets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLangToon Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 The folk that moan about a slight increase in ticket prices are the same folk that move pubs cos it's 5p cheaper for their pint. Well done you saved 50p on yer night out. I don't think prices are too bad and have pretty much increased in line with inflation. (comparing with a championship ticket price 10 years ago - £16-£18) -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevoraith Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 I take my 15yr old daughter to games. If a Falkirk fan wanted to take their 15yr old to a Falkirk match and sit in the main stand it would cost between £33 and £36 depending on where they sat (looking at prices on your site for the next home game v Ayr). If a Falkirk fan wanted to bring their 15yr old to Starks on Saturday it would be £34. For other games at Starks it would be £30. I think the outrage at ticket prices is a bit OTT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you offering qualifications about having a kid of a certain age that wants to attend football? Surely anyone complaining about ticket prices are entitled to do so on the basis under which they will attend, and 24 quid for an adult is shite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGuigan1978 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 Aye, tiered pricing is pretty cheeky and £24 is too steep in my opinion. That said, the more expensive games at Stark's Park last season were probably the biggest attendances of the entire campaign, so obviously wasn't that off-putting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge of allan bairn Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 (edited) I still feel okay about this. I think JM will see It as a straight swap of McIver for Oliver or Shanley. While they don't play the same game, we do still create a lot of chances and I think Oliver in particular will take one. If it's Oliver then the 10 will hopefully be Yeats. Or Tait (who I think would be great in that role) and yeats plays with Spencer. Same team outside of that. At least they've had all week in training to work on this which is better than it happening in the warm up or early game. No doubt this is another stiff test away from home though.

Ranaldo Bairn Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 This league is utterly cursed for injuries though. So many across so many teams, it's ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
