The hustler 398 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Any price rise in ST's must be kept to an absolute minimum. I do not think we'll sell as many as we've done this season though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debian 42 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Apparently it'll be up to a 10% increase. But is being deliberated yet.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangersfansmediawatch 1,055 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Think King will have to pull quite a big rabbit out of his hat if he wants the same uptake of season tickets as this season. Think there will be more than a few waiting to see which players come in before renewing, If nothing great then can foresee a lot just reverting to buying walk up tickets. If we don't add the quality which is tantamount to challenging and vastly improving next season then Rangers fans will vote with their feet, Sooner or later peoples patience will wear thin.

LoyalRanger86 281 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Expect there to be an increase in price but not too much, probably about £30-£40 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegecko 306 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Blind loyalty means I'll  be renewing regardless, but I do worry about the financial shortfall from those who won't take us over the 40k ST holders without some kind of grandstanding from the board. A marquee manager may have done the trick for some but clearlynot happening Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastwoodbear 94 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 The season ticket lost its value years ago.Taking away home cup ties and first Euro game was the downfall. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remeber when we used to get 6 weeks of 'signing sightings ' "Boksic was at glasgow airport" "Robbie fowler was at the stadium the other week"  At least that kept us going, to me this smacks of"  If pedro is gonnae crash and burn, lets get as much in the door as we can the now".  The first europa or league cup game should be thrown in as part of the (price frozen) season book.

Prso's headband 35,913 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 They'll only raise it because they know they won't get the same number as last year, especially if the tarriers pump us back to back and we end up in 4th. That wine cellar doesn't pay for itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangersfansmediawatch 1,055 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 A rise of say £40 on 40,000 season tickets would give the club an additional income of £1,600,000. Not a huge amount by any means, Could potentially pay the wages of 3 new players, Could go a long way to refurbishing EH, Could be used to cover part of the cost of the roof repairs and plastic sheeting on the ends of the Copland and Broomloan stands. But that would then mean the fans would be paying for all of the above rather than the board. Can see the point of raising prices if we had a great season and demand for season tickets outstripped availability, But it's been a very poor season and the signs so far are we won't be spending huge amounts of money in the summer. They could also be taking the piss and taking for granted the loyalty of the Rangers support in the hope that they just stump up regardless,Which could backfire on them for the above reasons.

SeparateEntityMyArse 54,281 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 ST will increase to pay legal fees. PC will get no more funding than MW. We will pay about 5 to 10% more this season. No euro freebies. The Board will NOT say we're going for 55. RFFF and c1872 funds will be HIGHLY topical. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the subject of the RFFF Â In the process of electing a committee is there not a set time they are allowed on that committee when they have to stand down and put themselves back up for selection ? The same ones have been on it for years and i get the feeling that once the money is handed over to the club for a new stand at the training ground they will suddenly disband and slap on the backs all round..Job done despite a high proportion of people telling them they don't want it used to build a stand.

But is being deliberated yet.. I know they are totally out of their depth, in there, but that is beyond ludicrous. Whatever they do, without any GOOD signings, they will lose at least 10-15% over this season. A hefty price hike will see them lose closer to 20% Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before i start this isn't that i think this board are great etc. But all that you have listed that the fans would be paying and not the board, in any well run financially football club the board wouldn't pay for any of that, season tickets, sponsorship, tv money, merchandise would pay for it, a board should be there to run a club not finance it.
