the Sunnylaw Jag Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Well it could be worse they could be paying £23 for a restricted view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagtag Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Well it could be worse they could be paying £23 for a restricted view. Or Scotland v Gibraltar prices. I agree that the north stand seems to have gone up in price more than other parts of the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddardStark Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 SFA consulted all four clubs prior to setting the prices. £23 is pretty reasonable to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giblet Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 First time their fans get a chance of sitting in an upper tier though so no precedence on pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcmfc Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 When they stop charging £27 to sit behind a giant pillar, then they can complain about ticket prices. I'm always blowing the "football's too expensive" trumpet, but I think £15 behind the goal and £23 for North stand is fair enough for a semi final. If my team was playing, I'd be looking for a North stand ticket. To flip their argument on its head, Maybe ICT fans would be happy to pay a few pound extra to get a better view of the game, rather than stick miles away behind the goal.

Squirrelhumper Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) They're only happy when they are having a moan. The offer away fans the worst view and most expensive tickets in the league. Stadium is half full yet away fans stuck behind a massive poll. Get their own house in order. Edited April 2, 2015 by Squirrelhumper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamntg Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I paid £35 for a South Stand ticket for the League Cup semi. Not sure what the problem is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al1978 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 It's confusing to me. 23 quid sounds pretty great for a Scottish Cup semi at Hampden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanhibee Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'm very happy with my £23 ticket for the North stand. £15 for the East stand for us aswell and £5 for kids. Thought that that all clubs were consulted on ticket pricing? I paid £25 for North stand for the league cup semi between aberdeen and United but this was probably because it wasn't on the TV.

Damo Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Whilst the price itself isn't an issue (£23 fora semil final, how does that fit into Reagans David Guetta scale) I think the real concern to me is that the North and South stands are now always priced the same (as it was for our season tickets). This takes up a large portion of the stadium. If those who are pricing these up truly believe that facilities in the North and South stands are the same I look forward to the Blazers sitting in the north stand for the next game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamntg Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) "As in previous years, due to Celtic supporters being in the vast majority, a huge number of our supporters will be required to pay a ticket price which we believe is too high." Eh? Does this "huge number" of supporters inflate the ticket price? The ticket prices are high because Celtic supporters are in "the vast majority"? What they could say is that ‘as in previous years, due to Celtic supporters being in the vast majority, a huge number of our supporters will be required to buy tickets'. And there's no story there. Why the need for the willy-waving? Edited April 2, 2015 by adamntg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Very strange Is their argument that celtic fans are more likely to be in the £23 seats rather than the less expensive ones? Not very clear from the statement because just arguing the overall price of tickets is bizarre when it's cheaper than their own league prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robroysboy Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 To be fair, £23 is a big chunk out of their giro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usainboltyarocket Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) Ticket prices are crucial to attract the big crowds. Unfortunately my own club are part of the problem. Many Celtic fans feel ticket prices are too high and many away fans feel the same. And I agree the away section view is terrible. Time to move the away fans to behind the goal.

sbcmfc Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Would be interesting to see what Celtic charged for any home ties in earlier rounds? They may well have done a cheap price, with it being midweek to get a crowd in? If they charged a similar price, this really would be laughable!

alba buddy Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 we were charged £26 earlier in the season for parkhead & we're the worst team in the league how to attract fans eh? they're complaint may be that they're being charged £23 for a seat at hampden that they don't use it will be the same tomorrow night (watch). all seater ground but nobody sits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHTOWER 1314 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Decent prices as far as i am concerned so dont know what they are moaning about and why couldnt they have been the prices for the gibraltar game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottincarlisle Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Well lets hope they dont get to the Final as no doubt prices will increase again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
