RangersMedia 35,962 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Our fans are the GOAT. Also - if we consistently sell out every game over the next few years and get back on top in Scotland, we genuinely have to look at ways of improving the matchday experience/enhancing the stadium in terms of quality & size. We have bigger fish to fry just now, but it's a guaranteed revenue bump and we have to innovate to make up for the lack of TV money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pennywise 159 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Just now, OhW said: There could still be lots of season ticket holders who don't show up and don't re-sell their tickets. Unlikely there will be much of that for these 2 big games, with new signings and back from a bleak break. Our fans are the best on the planet.

Even if we weren't selling out every week we should still be looking to enhance the matchday experience. Better hospitality (there have been improvements) in particular will generate more revenue. The faded seats annoy me as it takes away from the look of a quality stadium (there are obviously other cosmetic issues), but replacing them would cost a fortune and not generate any additional revenue.

Check the blue bells and blue video, Murray shows the plans for Ibrox and the corners and it did not have the screens , it was seats all the way around and it held 60,000. Get the screens to fuck or hang them from the Copland and broomloan stands, that's the cheapest option Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
goaaaal 998 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Anyone who saw the swell in Manchester should be convinced a potential 40k plus is available over what we already have had coming through the turnstiles even in the last 30 years. Good or bad the Introduction of ST sales have been pretty steady at an even average of 30k since the mid to late 80's it's how the club tap into retain & boost those we all know who follow Rangers but can't or don't Follow on a regular basis the same plan was formed by Minty albeit backed up by decent funds & the situation post Hysel at one time the waiting list was if I recall a good few years for a ST. This standing room idea could be a winner but it has to be sustainable ditto the Scottish game in terms of quality of product but like most Bears I'd rather we form our own expansion plans of the stadium get supporters back but the fickle nature of our support is a conundrum many have witnessed down the years when things aren't going well & I include myself in that. I still believe we have way more of a support than the other lot it's bringing that back even allowing the tailing off of attendances I reckon RFC have at core support way in excess of even most of the current EPL teams & some European teams its realising that potential.

A.T.G 10,773 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I’ve never understood “matchday experience”. Unless it’s booze involved but doesn’t everyone just turn up go to the game and then leave Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gman36 3,477 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 We go through this every so often. The economics of a stadium expansion don't stack up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I done it on the website mate, but I'd imagine it could be done over the phone. It's good if you can't attend any of the bigger games as it's almost guaranteed your seat will be resold by the club. It's a no-brainer and quick and easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can phone them. 0871 702 1972, option 6. Takes less then a minute for them to do it. Dead easy. Do it in plenty of time though, otherwise you're risking the ticket not being sold on.

Inigo 33,324 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 So aye, did I mention secondary ticketing? Better no be any empty seats for such an important game or cunts are going to feel the back of my hand. Release your seat for resale, you make some cash off your next ST and the club makes some cash too. Everybody happy. 0871 702 1972 then option 6. Have your Rangers number ready and it takes no time at all. Do it early as possible so it has the best chance to be sold on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be fine to get a paper ticket if you contact the TO. They'll ask you questions to verify you are who you say you are, will help if you know your Rangers number too, then should be available for collection tomorrow. Give yourself plenty time to collect too mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
