Popular Post Scottywellhousetb 52,569 Posted August 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2022 My lassies have decided not take their tickets for this, just too much for them just now and I don't blame them tbh, i had a long think before deciding to get mine and I earn a lot more than them, bit pish for them after all the shite they've had to put with over the last 10 years going to the games, I don't even think the prices are that bad (although I think it's fucking disgraceful that season ticket holders in other sections are paying 30 quid more than me) sometimes other things in life are just more of a priority cash wise, none of the above will stop me laughing at them as I head out the door to the games however.

They won't pay it in future years. I checked back the attendance in 1996 and there was only 34k against Grasshoppers and 37k against Auxerre. Didn't even sell out against Ajax, which was the only one I went to that year. Don't remember the attendances being great during Walter's 2nd Champions league campaigns either. In fact only Man United at home was a sell out between 09-11. DiamondDan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, the club are milking us for every last penny they can. "If you're a loyal fan who can't afford it, who gives a f**k because there is someone else that can!" Is their attitude. But, this sort of greed leaves a bitter taste in people's mouths. We will pay it, but we know we are being mugged off. We won't forget it. And when the day comes in the future (and it will come) when the board needs the benefit of the doubt and they need our loyalty then they'll find out that any goodwill is in very short supply... Ours are £180. That’s a 53% increase from last season’s EL package. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The demand will always be there if we are competitive but this is a huge step up in class and fans won’t pay this sort of cash to see us getting pumped.

Was even able to get Man Utd tickets fairly easily and I wasn’t a season ticket holder back then. DiamondDan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

miracle 7,853 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I seem to remember you could get a free ticket back in the Unirea days if you did an hours bucket rattling for the Rangers Charity Foundation before the match. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought this is what happened, the season ticket prices vary depending on how good a seat you have so I assumed the price of European games would differ, is this the first time the ticket prices have been different ??
