drew Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 £25 (£30 public sale) for a seat in the West Stand for Belgium and Portugal. I'm sure we've paid a lot more than that for qualifiers and a glamour friendly against England. At least the price is coming down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong, but I do not think we have to pay an appearance fee under regular friendly rules, as technically UEFA are making us play this match as part of the week of football, as there only was 5 teams to choose from, and the SFA got the best two for the match (plus Ronaldo will be in the Portugal squad anyway, as they will have a qualifier also) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there not an issue with the SFA not making a profit out of the Argentina game a couple of years ago. With the fee they had to pay Argentina they needed close to a full house to make it worthwhile. Gordon Smith wanted a series of glamour friendlies at Hampden (Brazil was talked about as the follow up match) and Argentina was viewed as a prize catch as it was going to be Maradona's debut (?) as Argentina manager. Straight away Argentina ask for £1m appearance fee (and you do not even get Messi for that) and I think Smith wanted to keep prices low for the match in order to get a big crowd, but in order to break even it needed to be close to a sell out. Think SFA just broke even on that one, but all plans for big games at Hampden were binned the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksburnDandy Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Good prices for the Nations League games, so fair credit for that. I won't bother with the friendlies as they are friendly matches that involve spending plenty on travel, food etc. Even if I stayed round Glasgow, I likely wouldn't bother paying that for a friendly.

1ANDYP Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 £20 is decent for killie compared to what others charge. Are away fans paying 20 quid. Ffs it's 14 to watch clyde. So I think even at 25 each game is ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s only 80 notes if you’re a member of the supporters club and sit in the cheap seats. Non-members will be paying over a ton. Don't take it personally. We are all cunts in one way or another. Just a figure of speech where I come from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottincarlisle Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I think Portugal & Belgium are a more attractive opposition than say England & people were paying up to £60 for that game at Celtic Park. The SFA will want bigger crowds at the competitive games surely hence the lower prices with regard to the opposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve still to decide if I’ll go to the friendlies. I probably will as I’ll be paying £80 for the 4 games so it’s not too bad but meaningless friendlies should be £20 at the most.

Squirrelhumper Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 On the subject of ticket prices, we're £24 at Livi on Saturday!! My mate is looking at going with his two wee kids and it's £68 for a family of 4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDange Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Anyone else having problems booking tickets? The Israel tickets seem to be causing problems for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Seems to be problems across the whole board. If you use Chrome is apparently works better, but still as slow as a week in the jail, as timed out first time for me, then took about 35 minutes to get all 4 tickets into my basket, then when I went to pay it went to a terms and conditions pop up, which when I hit the accept button, took me back to the first page to buy tickets rather than a confirmation page, yet confirmation email popped up instantly to say order went through. A lot of people complaining that discount not taken off (I had no issue with this) and others saying they are not getting their free Belgium ticket.

McDange Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 You are meant to get a £10 discount if you book all 4 games but now showing something for a free Belgium ticket that then returns an error. Staggering incompetence once again from the SFA on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faddy11 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Just spent over two and a half hours trying to get 3 tickets for the 4 games what a nightmare why did they have an option for the 4 games separate.keep telling not allowed tickets for certain matches then if i tried to starting again it would pick another game ,shambles.

Stockholm 1980 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) Struggled to get tickets bought for the four games, and was only buying two per game. Had wanted an extra two for Albania ( For Non Members ) but can't get these at this moment, then when you can they will have to be in a different section, thought members might have been able to buy a couple of extras for these low attendance matches.
