govanblue 16,847 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 I got shot down in flames for mentioning east fife tickets were moving slowly. Ach well, if it prompted even one person to buy a ticket, then it was worth it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarkev 3,540 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I'm sure we will get a good attendance on Thursday and with new signings expected tomorrow the intrest will grow further.No-one should question our fanbase in general the support shown these past 6 months has been nothing short of inspirational! And to put things in perspective AC Milan have only sold 22000 season tickets this season and their attendance at the weekend was under 35k. Really just highlights how big a club we still are and always will be!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonderry_Bear 111 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 We might not sell the old place out, but I would wager a large amount of money that there will be considerably more people at ibrox than the rest of the ties for this round put together Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuirhouseBear 291 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Finally got my seat bought earlier. I read on twitter that only 14k had been sold. Probably bullshit though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenray201 28 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Seems too quiet with the tickets for Thursday. Nothing about tickets or signings. This is the last match(revenue raiser) before the transfer ban. Club needs the funds to make signings I would think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermopylae 15,288 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Saying £15 for me in copeland.These games up until the quarters should have been included in the season tickets for next few years.I have to agree with the size of players contracts being cut we don't really need the money as much as we once did Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenray201 28 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I have to agree with the size of players contracts being cut we don't really need the money as much as we once didOn the other hand, there isnt any Champions league money to rely on for now. Plus the tickets ARE cheaper than before.The only ways for extra revenue right now are Cup ties and selling players and the latter didnt work out as planned.From the way it looked , the investors were looking for a return by way of the first teamers transfer fees.

beattie72 170 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Anyone know how I can't get a ticket for tomorrow activated to my Smart card instead of choosing between post/collect? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz92 966 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I'd have hoped we'd at least match the East Fife crowd.That was always going to be tough. There was such a real buzz around the East Fife game. The first one of the season, and I think everyone just wanted to be there for a bit of a celebration.As I said before, the weather will have a real sway on the attendance. If it's a nice night people will be much more likely to take a run along. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
