£18 was the figure I would have gone with for this one.

With a £2 discount for season ticket holders who purchase before a certain date.

They should be totally independent of the board and should be more like union reps fighting the cause for the supporters.

I don't think that would work.

They're best placed on the board with equal voting rights as the other directors, as they are now, imho.

So the crowd will be c8,000 mainly because its a cup game not included in ST. To boost the crowd to say 25% to 10,000 some are suggesting entry is priced at 60% of normal prices. Basic maths tells you that nonsense, especially as you share the gate.

Don't think there's any chance of an 8k attendance due to the ridiculous prices - I'd imagine a crowd of around 5k.
Didn't realise the decision makers at ER were so out of touch with reality.

I hear what you are saying, but it appears that if any of them raise anything with the board, the board listen then do what they want to do anyway. It would've been interesting if one of the fans reps was present at the ticket pricing meeting and objected to the price. My guess is the price would still be the same with the fans rep repeating the boards stance.

Was it confirmed that the prices were set at a board meeting? That sounds like the sort of decision that would be made day to day rather than at a board meeting.

We have fans crying out for 4-5 signings, but not willing to attend a cup tie for £22.

Madness, it's the Scottish Cup, remember there were c 150k at parade, but some are talking about 5k atttending this one. If you don't have the money to afford this then fine, if you do then it shouldn't really deter people from attending

***H18 SFR*** · 13-01-2019 03:21 PM

Booked a seat in the West for a little change.

The pricing isn’t set at board meeting level.

Our kids walk up price of £12 is far too high for a young kid

Sorry Tracey I thought from your earlier post on this thread that they were.

Hi there,

Apologies for the delay. I did want this raised at the last board meeting but unfortunately I was unable to attend.*

I have had feedback and the pricing was finalised based on budget, it being the Scottish Cup competition and Elgin agreed on price.*

I have noted all feedback from here, other sites and what’s been messaged to me and will be feeding it back and raising the points that have been raised.

Thanks*

Tracey*

That's a different argument, not sure why people think it should be under £20 for an Adult though

Because its a game against much lower opposition in an early round of the cup, as far as I know every other club is charging less than we are

It’s all the same argument really. £20 as it is for season ticket holders in this round is probably acceptable, but it would be great to see a big crowd. £15 would have probably have done this. It was £10 for a kid to get into Celtic v Hibs, which is a Cat A game, so £12 for Hibs v Elgin is way too high

Celtic can afford to offer that pricing given their attendances and turnover

Where did anyone ever mention getting in for free? Apart from yourself I don't believe anybody has said that.

I never got any IP, I think there may have been one or two only, so trying to see if anyone has one that can be photocopied

I was being flippant, but everyone wants in for cheaper it seems

No worries. Hope you enjoyed the trip. I’ll let the thread get back on topic now.

I think everyone wants in for a fair price that is reasonable.

I've not bothered to read the entire thread but from the pages I have every single person agrees it's overpriced,apart from yourself. That to me would suggest it it is priced too high.

It was £20 with discount. We have to give them half the gate money, we have to pay for policing costs etc. Not as easy as saying make it £15.

Finally some sense!

People wanting a top 3 squad budget with Championship prices.

We don’t have any major benefactors so unfortunately we need to raise revenue to good old fashioned way.
