Bill 13,717 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Are fans seriously saying the price for CL games is too high? Or just indulging a routine need to whine and complain? It would cost you more to go to an average music concert. If you don’t want to pay then please step aside for someone who does. There is nothing that Rangers sells that anyone is obliged to buy. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you might mean 'big name act', rather than 'average'. The emotional pull of Rangers can be difficult to pull away from. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can also watch football for £15 if they want to watch third rate crap. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,231 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Went to see many groups in 60/70's who are now still performing with extortionate ticket prices and will not pay prices to see them now but will not complain about paying to watch my team. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attend the odd lower league fixture and quite enjoy it. No mascots, after goal music, some brutal tackles and less play-acting on the pitch. A bit like a good gig in a spit and sawdust pub compared to boring stadium rock with 70 year olds. Football fans will always complain about prices, as sure as the sun rises in the morning. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club should keep pushing the prices up until people stop buying tickets. The ticket prices have sparked a wider debate. Recently on Gersnet, mygers came under the microscope. As the cost of living grows disproportionately to wages, the noise will get louder. The club would be wise to make tangible inroads in giving something back to those they repeatedly praise as loyal supporters but treat as mug clients who they can fleece, repeatedly. It isn't that they don't reward loyalty, they put a 'tax' (mygers) on it Invest in disabled facilities, ticket operations, pre-season friendly on ST book or whatever....but now that finances are under control, take the opportunity to quell potential loss of revenue and create some goodwill. I think you will see something announced at the AGM. Ultimately, positive on-pitch results mean they can continue to do as they please but go out of Europe before Xmas and fall behind in the league and it may go the other way.

I was gonna ask about this as Im sure I heard someone say 149. Im sure it was that price when I had a ST many moons ago. 165 yes steep but you would get many paying much more for the Liverpool game alone. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are indeed but Bill referred to "average music concert". I don't really get the gig comparison because: a) Big acts tend not to play in the same place every other week. b) Some of the best musicians I've ever seen were playing in pubs and charging £3 entrance fee. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps money is already earmarked for these and other expenditures. 52 minutes ago, buster. said: .... but now that finances are under control How do we quantify that? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
