No it means that the stadium has less seats than fans that want a season ticket

Same thing. No point in having increasing numbers on a waiting list. Upping the prices will reduce the waiting list whilst bringing in more revenue (and still selling out)

So you want to price Rangers fans out of Ibrox

So when is it too much?? 

20% 50%, eventually you can’t ask the fans for anymore and it becomes the job of the board to raise the money needed, that’s their job after all. 

Honestly any increase not in line with inflation, is a joke. 

10% is probably the limit for me. But maybe there should be some kind of mechanism there that would allow wealthy fans to pump more money in if they wanted.

Raising ST prices generates very little income, but can be the difference between someone affording to renew or not.

We need other avenues of income, need to get this shirt stuff sorted. Cracking new market areas, must be other stuff.

You’re still telling the poorer fan that they aren’t needed. 

We have a waiting list now so you can get ta fuck for the fans with more money.

Then tell the main investors to pony up the millions and they can get it back later on.

I don't think we should be a club that prices people out of going just because richer fans that now want to go can afford it.

Where was this waiting list 3 or 5 years ago.

I personally can afford a price increase, but I wouldn't want to see someone that can't afford loose their ticket because they cant.

If memory serves me correct, we are also back at the same level as we were the last champions League game season we had, so a small increase could be expected, but we have to be cautious and not take fans for mugs just because we have a list of people who now want a ticket.

As noted you get more money by signing/bring through younger players and developing them then selling them on, something we haven't done for years. Aye we need to close the gap and I can understand a small increase just with everything being more expensive these days but fleecing the fans to get a better transfer budget in just because we have a huge waiting list is bang out of order.

If you don't think the fans get shafted off the board constantly then fair enough but this season alone we've had:

• Europa league package, some more than what other clubs paid for their 3 champions league matches. That's not just the taigs btw but including English clubs as well.
• 1 days notice (several times) for money getting taken out for cup games, this has been going on for a good few seasons now. I only get 2 every time but can't imagine how somebody deals with 1 days notice for cup/away games when they have 3/4 tickets
• Ridiculous single pricing on tickets, seen somebody who bought a ticket for Hearts last week a few days before game when it wasn't a sell-out...£35, some of the Europa matches were £41 for a single ticket.

As for the last part, aye I will pay the money and so will the vast majority of people just because they are fans and want to be there to support the club, still doesn't make it the right thing to do.

The club was running at a loss it was only Europa league money that prevented that this year, maybe if/when we’re back in champions league and have surplus cash the board can afford to give back to the fans but until then our cash is needed.

It's not gonna happen. Remember it's our Club not Dave Kings.

AVB hahahaha. 

Cunt was making about a £100,000 a day in China. Don’t think he’ll be coming to this cesspit for £100 a day

Then we won’t win anything.

Because unless you’re going to charge each ST holder £1000, we need major money from another source.

Agreed that our cash is needed and we'll again fill out the stadium next season, that's us supporting the club the best we can. 

But our tickets are already overly expensive as is & just because we have a good support doesn't mean they should be taken advantage of.

As others have said, an increase in line with inflation is fine but anything silly is just ripping the arse out of us.

Members Club season tickets are up 12.5% 😮

You're probably right mate. I just can't see how we can truly compete and topple them without increasing revenue. 

We lost so much ground during admin and the rebuilding process is long and costly.

How is an increase a joke? we need more quality that costs money where else do we get the money to compete with the tarriers? if you’re so unhappy about prices I’m sure there will be plenty others willing to pay the prices.

That’s a bit of a shity thing to say tbh mate, everybody’s situation is different, guy could have been a ST holder for years or paying for multiple tickets every season then he’s basically told to get tae fuck somebody else will take his place because a price hike could squeeze him 🤨

I have 3 to renew and it means jiggling finances about, I realise that they have to go up a bit but a large increase would be taking the piss considering we have won fuck all again,  saying that there are others waiting to pick up the ticket if someone can't afford a large increase is a fucking slap in the face to a lot of very loyal people.
