Frankie 8,150 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/9203-club-statement-on-ticketing TICKETS for the SPFL Premiership quarter-final play-off match against Queen of the South at Ibrox on Sunday, May 17 are now on sale. The Club is pleased to announce that after careful consideration tickets for the above match are priced at £5 across the board. Several pricing structures, including allowing season-ticket holders free admission with other fans paying between £5 and £20, were studied but it is believed the most favourable option for the Club and its supporters is a flat price of £5. This means the Club can cover the costs of staging the match – between £70,000 and £80,000 – and at the same time comply with the SPFL rule, which demands a 50% levy from gate receipts after VAT (but not the Club’s costs) has been deducted. The cost to the Club of allowing season-ticket holders free admission would have been substantial after accounting for the levy that would be due to the SPFL. Despite media speculation never at any time did Rangers state it would not adhere to SPFL rules and the Club believes that setting this flat fee should meet with the approval of all concerned. The £5 ticket price for all will ensure as many supporters as possible can back the team and should we progress to the next stage of the play-offs our pricing policy will not change. Tickets go on general sale from 2pm today (Thursday, May 7) and season-ticket holders can purchase their own seats until Sunday, May 10. Bar 72 and Section MLF season-ticket holders should note smartcards for this match will be activated automatically. Seems fair enough to me but a pity that season book holders didn't get some kind of discount. Edited May 7, 2015 by Frankie 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aweebluesoandso 290 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 A most sensible solution to keep all party's happy, but you just know the haters and agitators will find fault as they always do. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrahimHemdani 1 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Fine by me but why aren't ST holders auto sold the tickets; it's going to be a nightmare if 40,000 people are trying to buy a ticket on a premium rate number.
