davethebox Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Got my tickets for the RoI and England games, same seats for both games. The Irish tickets £42 for a qualifier and England £55 for a friendly. Why is there £13 of a difference? Same view, same stadium, same food outlets selling dodgy pies so why the extra £13.

OLAS Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I'm coming back for these games, but a hunner quid for 180 minutes of fitba is a scandal and making me think twice about the England game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demand. If there was no demand, the prices would be lower. However, if there was no demand, the Scottish FA would never have arranged the match in the first place. All about increasing revenue and margin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do wish that people would have the baws to boycott this one. Remember the attendance at the Czech Republic game a few years ago (North Stand 3 quarters full and rest of Hampden empty)? That's what I'd like to see. Sadly, the SFA are cynical as and knew fine well this was the one friendly fixture they could sell out, regardless of ticket price.

It's just that the fixture holds no attraction for us. If the tix were twenty quid we still wouldn't be going. I can understand the allure for some folk - so I wouldn't criticise anyone who wanted to go and paid the price. Each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First game against England in over 30 years that I will have willingly missed a game against the Auld Enemy. Nothing to do with the cost. I just object to the SFA adding friendlies into the price of the season ticket. If they get away with this one a high profile friendly will be a permanent feature of future season tixs IMO. All friendlies as far as I'm concerned should be outwith any competitive campaign pricing structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jie Bie Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 A few people I know aren't going on Saturday as £45 is a ridiculous price for a home game against Georgia. I agree with them completely. The only reason me and the group I go with are going is because we've already paid £190 for the six game season ticket. Sure it is expensive but at £32 per game it isn't a total rip-off.

Toepoke Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Got my ROI tickets, £32, they can stick the England game up their jacksie. Same here, sorted our squad out this morning. 10 tickets for Ireland, only 4 for England. I did notice that out of the two there seemed to be a bit less availability for the England game however....
