Get over it fs. I think the unfair part is that theres people who went to every cup game and didnt get a ticket where as some people who have only been to a few did get a ticket. The ballot situation is not the issue its the fact i mention above. But fuck it a day on the couch with the surround sound cranked up and the flag blowim from the top window will suffice!

Buying a ticket and not even going is just as worthy as buying and getting your monies worth. K.A.I and Waggy1872 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EPL teams get a lot more tickets because of the size of Wembley, not even comparable. Bollocks, all those on the CCCS would have a shout, 23300 for 22500 tickets, far better than excluding 800 as things stand. Ask any of the 800 who missed out.

Rambo1872 4,065 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 How does it work do these touts buy them off one of the partners at ibrox that get a load and rangers make a profit above the usual ticket price? If so im a bit disgusted that they knowingly give tickets away to touts for a quick buck and leaving fans in the ballot without a ticket. These middlemen werent about to offer money for tickets when we were in the lower leagues but the fans still coughed up regardless, now were back in semis and finals and top flight the club are happy for those same loyal fans to miss out on a stub to furnish ticket touts ?

Nahhh, should throw 23000 tickets off the roof of the Club Deck in a strong westerly and line the CCCS ST holders up outside the Main Stand entrance and let them chase them down Paisley Road West. Disabled fans and those of advancing years can start off where the burger vans park up on Edmiston Drive to ensure fair play.

As explained it's people with debenture seats at Hampden any fans touting their tickets will more than likely end up on E-Bay and sell for fake bids in the thousands. I know it's not exactly like-for-like but when I was doing a tour of Maddison Square Garden the host let us sit in a typical debenture box that can allow for 15 people in it. It costs almost 500 thousand dollars per-year for the box but he says there's almost 400 shows, sporting events (basketball, ice hockey, wrestling etc), concerts, rodeo shows, conventions per year .. the debenture box get's you 15 people in for all 400 shows if you wanted (admission covered), each of your party of 15 as much drink as they can drink via their private/personal waiter, a 4-course meal and souveniers of the event like the programmes, signed stuff etc ... or they can put 15 seats in the box up for sale if they want - they technically own 15 seats for a year. It got me thinking, if your a decent sized company and do the sums 500k between 15 people for the 400 shows it works out (I think) 83 dollars per person per show individually for that level of service and entertainment and you could probably claim most of it back as a business expense for entertaining clients as tax or something.
