Exactly, anyone asks you to sit down at the football or to refrain from swearing and you just show them your sticker and their grievance is instantly void.

I don't feel I need rewarding beyond the obvious. If others need that, then fair enough, but I don't really get it. I'd rather just pay what I pay for all the things Rangers I get. As long as it goes to the club, of course... It's not about needing it mate. It would just be a nice gesture to fans for their loyalty. I get what you're saying but football is a customer reliant industry, even if for most of us it is a lifestyle, and it would make sense to keep your customers enthused. If someone was demanding it from the club they'd get their baws booted on here, rightly so, but if it's affordable from the clubs point of view it would be a nice gesture.

Yeah, I suppose it could strengthen the bond with the club. I'd be so anal as to work out how much I was saving and spend it on something else Rangers though. I really wish I was joking.

Ace 3,556 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Germany & Spain are often cited as examples of low ST costs but folk oftenseem to forget the heavily subsidised costs via incredibly lucrative TV deals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even little things would be good like a free stadium tour, megastore discount etc. We already have a loyalty scheme.  Boycott games and protest outside club shop and get free tickets for Bar72 or a seat in the directors box. MW winning the championship this season and the SPL next will be reward enough for a majority of Bears. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWAC 2,223 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 So apart from hotdogs, medals of honour, free cup games (which is I admit a good idea based on what's been done before), 10% seems ok to most? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyRice1872 105 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Even a 25% rise would be fair enough, although I guess it would be closer to 10-15%. It's worth the money obviously considering you'll get to watch Rangers, McKay, Warburton, Waggy, Waldo, Tav, Holt, Kiernan, Fod, Wilson and everyone every 2nd week live in Ibrox. I think 10% could be a good amount, to try get 40k plus ST holders. I think good ST purchase incentives could be a free RangersTV subscription for 1 month for ST purchases, possibly some kind of match programme purchase in advance paying option for a discount to get them all posted to you, maybe even in a day or two advance of the match each time (?), also possibly signed (could be electronic signature(s)Willie Vass Print of Warburton & Weir, or Ibrox, or the whole Team, along with added to the clubs email subscription list etc (take it that's already an incentive) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCDBigBear 10,763 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Just to get back to paying the same as we were 4 years ago would require an increase of almost 25% on our current price  (Copland Rear).  I do think that would be a mistake therefore I'd be inclined to go for 12.5% or thereabouts with a further increase next season.  We hadn't increased ST prices for a few years prior to admin if I recollect correctly.  Also, inflation (based on RPI ) in the last say 6 years has increased by approximately 20%.  I agree with those who suggest we lower at least some Club Deck prices to the same range as other stands.

Dazzler 2,428 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I'd go for a 25% increase but include any home League & Scottish cup matches in the season tickets Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1mgg 3,766 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 For my seat to return to the same price as it was before the drop, it would need a 33% increase, but back then we were getting champions league football which was included, and it was already overpriced. Â I would go for a 10% increase for 3 seasons running Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
