Might need to get a ST for The Gallery Lounge to get the priority tickets for Ibrox for our reduced allocation..:greengrin
Was once offered a ‘free’ seat in hospitality for a game v hertz. The attraction of sitting amongst a bunch of suits scoffing three course meals and sitting in ‘Executive ‘ seats was completely lost on me.
Possibly a bit of a generalisation about those who invest in such packages? I'd be surprised if there are swathes of 'suits' who attend Easter Road every other week, but I might be wrong. The packages actually sound great to me and the club will be glad of those fans who can afford to buy them. Out of interest, does anyone on here buy these packages and if so do they provide you with an enjoyable matchday experience? And do you 'scoff' your meal or eat it at a leisurely pace in order to savour what you've paid for?Quote:

I enjoyed my experience in hospitality but would only do it once every season or so. Actually takes up a large chunk of the day and the match was spent wishing I was in the east. Atmosphere was dreadful.
I’ve done it a couple of times over the years, special birthday’s for my dad. Was great on both occasions, but it’s not for me, as I love to sit in my seats in the East every home game!Quote:

Great if you can afford it but for about £50 more per game than I'm paying now (and I'm a full paying adult) it's not for me. Maybe alright on the odd occasion but to be doing it every fortnight or sometimes twice a week the way the fixtures are organised would soon get boring. I'll stick to my couple of pints and sausage rolls from home thanks.
So if it includes a three course lunch, what do you get when it's an early or late kick off? Can't imagine having a three course lunch in time for a noon or 12.30pm kick off.
I wonder how many we sell of those season tickets ?
Went with my Dad to a game a few years ago for a 12:30 kick off and got a cooked breakfast.Quote:

I sat beside Lawrie Reilly in hospitality. One of my favourite days ever.Quote:

I wouldn't want to do it every other week though, nor could I afford to.
I enquired as to them doing a payment plan for hospitality and was told that option wasn’t available... it’s not that affordable if paying upfront, but broken down to monthly it might actually be more attractive to some.
Agree, sometimes hospitality is the only way some of us can get to certain games. Especially those who happily recognise there's others who rightly get ahead of us in the queue for tickets.Quote:

Have done it twice in the last few years for my grandads birthday, first time was brilliant. Ian Murray and his dad were at our table and by the end of the day his dad and my Grandad were best mates :greengrin
Last year we went again but in the Clubhouse, it was ok but not great. You kinda felt like an afterthought to the main event in the Gallery.
Are there still Executive Boxes at ER, or have the been done away with?
