Over 33,000 Season Tickets Renewed - A Club Record [Now Over 42,000 Sold]

[andyhrfc 2,242]

So if we hit the magic 43k do we have to stop there?  What are the rules?  Surely we don't need to give them the whole of the Broomloan?   Cut it to half or better still the normal away allocation.

[Broxi 11,518]

Is there actually a rule to how much away allocation we need to give them?

What's to stop a club saying no away fans and pack it with all home supporters? I'm assuming there is something and it obviously won't happen just wondering what the rules were. We could easily pack Ibrox on an OF game ourselves so why do the away fans get such a big allocation compared to other fans?

[andyhrfc 2,242]

It's not so much giving them 7500 that gripes me it is the fact they they only give us 7500 in return, as a percentage of capacity we should be getting nearer 9000.

Thinking about buying a ST next season, but I'm a student and barely scraped through money wise this year. How much would a ST cost for somewhere like the club deck? Rangers don't do student discounts do they? I know someone who is a Celtic ST holder and he just renewed his for like £170 for a student ticket

They are only doing that as they have so many Students that are studying tax law

We should appreciate that we would get zilch in return for the Breeze Block Boulevard . Septic don't need an extra 7.1K Gers fans for only 2 games per season. That only equates to around £600K per season, so not really make or break.

Yes, most likely the tit for tat aspect. Plus, the Broomloan is a natural segregation area. I imagine tv has something to do with it too. Lets be honest, old firm games arent exactly packing the tv audiences in because of the high quality football on show. It's the blood and snotters the viewers wish to see, with just the hint of a threat of a riot. I mean riot in the widest possible sense. For all the tut tutting over the hatred between the teams the hatred is also it's selling point.

I've mentioned this before on the site.

And find it remarkable that the board and supporters have ignored this for so long.

And as for season tickets...after the briliant football served up last season, we owe it to Mark and our club to max the ST out.

An increase of 5,000 tickets alone puts 2,000,000 quid into the coffers. And just think what Warbs could do with that after what he did last year with tuppence h'appny.

I had to laugh the other day, on SSN hearts saying they had sold nearly 7000 st and were all proud of themselves!

Waiting list for season tickets is outweighing the amount available, according to the ticket office

Probably asking because you get a discount if you're 16-18.

Zebra finance do a 10 month instalment plan if that would be any use to you?

25,000 is a good start! hope we surpass 40,000 by the end of the season. i renewed my ticket as soon as i could. 

[Ferris Bueller 1,569]

Whats the thoughts on giving them less tickets if it means wen can sell more season tickets? (if the demand is there as suggested)

They would obviously cut our allocation at theirs but think the increased revenue from season ticket sales outways this.

Ah, never mind then. I was going to say if you're under 18 get one in govan rear as you're classed as a juv till 18 so you'd pay like £135 or something.

Sell the broomloan also if we can and give the mhanky mob under the screens like any other away support.

Put bears first the ones that watched Stirling Albion, Alloa etc to keep the club alive, not supporters who wanted us dead from boardroom to supporter.  

 

Aye then we get the same at the Piggery and the struggle for tickets begins and the atmosphere dies.  No thanks.

Anyone know what the numbers were this time last year ?

Over 21,000 on the 1st of July last year, so already ahead of that with another month to go.

Couldn't find a figure for May/June last year so the figure i gave was from the Rangers website on 01/07/15

As you said were well ahead even with about a month to spare so it's looks good ??

[WilliamFyfe 1,438]

If I didn't work Saturdays I'd be getting one this year. Nothing better than seeing the Rangers every second week. 

[Gillete 1,338]

I think we will hit 40000 no problem

i assume the waiting list for this coming season would be considerably higher than last yr

Totally agree with the "I ain't watching Rangers in the lower leagues but will come back when the good times return" punter. That's a fan and I can understand that. Those of us that stayed around, took the hostility, the insults, the pain.... can look in the mirror and know we didn't desert in the time of need. Yes, it was hard at times , the ridicule , some of the results, but we never walked away. 

I welcome those that return. They can help push us on but they should remember those that stayed in the trenches to get us to this day.

Goat, if we fight for equal percentage allocation we will get more tickets for the piggery.
