    Absolutely ridiculous if that's correct.

    Both of mine are under 16 & over 12. Think dundee was £12 each & Livi was about the same. £19 each makes it an expensive day out

    I agree it does
    In my view all under 16’s should be the same price

    Heading to a game in Poland next week (Slask Wroclaw) and all under 13's are free (accompanied with an adult) and all under 18's/pensioners are around £2 for all sections of the ground.

    Irrespective of TV deals, economic and social issues etc, it's abundantly clear that we are being ripped off on a grand scale when it comes to attending football.

    I’m not so sure we are being ripped off really, in general. It is an expensive hobby but it’s also the main source of revenue for clubs. If prices are drastically reduced, where is that shortfall made up?

    I would agree that £19 for a ‘concession’ ticket is steep and is probably a bit of an extreme example. I don’t think too many other clubs will charge that.

    Was thinking of going along for the Stubbs love-in but now not sure I want to give £19 to the St Mirren board to make more bad decisions.

    Could be doing with a bit more notice, money debited tomorrow less than a week after Dundee away comes out the account, expensive week.

    Going to cost me £41 for an adult and child plus travel before a ball is even kicked.

    How about £19 to support Hibs?

    I'll be honest, I don't have the answers, but I'd ask how Polish football manages to make up that shortfall, especially on a tv deal not much greater than our own.

    This isn't unique to Poland either: as someone who has travelled Europe, and attended football in many countries - the cost of attending football in Scotland is absolutely ridiculous in comparison to most of Europe.

    Just had a quick look & last season Ross County charged us £5 each for the kids and Hearts was £10. Massive jump up to £19 for St mirren.

    In the space of a week or so I've had to pay for an adult and child for the following

    Dundee away £38

    Aberdeen home £27

    St Mirren away £34

    Tot = £99 for tickets only

    By the time you add on travel and food drink thats easy well over £200

    Expensive month is September.


    If you want to add Livingston into that as well then that was another £34

    It is expensive and I’d love it to be cheaper. I don’t know what it is that other countries do differently that allows them to make it cheaper to watch football. Using Poland as an example could it be argued that the cost is more relative to people’s income over there? That said, I’m sure I only paid a tenner in Norway last month. I think Greece was £25.

    As I say, I agree it’s expensive to follow your team these days. In the absence of a better TV deal, it’s difficult to see how the clubs can price it on a level comparative to the likes of Poland though.

    I agree, September has been very expensive. October not going much less either, away to Celtic and Hearts in the league, and a potential League cup semi

    Thought the £19 has to be a mistake!

    Those prices are relatively decent (or as decent as you’re likely to get) IMO.

    agree about notice my lot will fail as not enough in to cover and not enough time to transfer over.

    That another good point. £150 for an adult and child for all 3 of those games assuming we get to the semi, still be around £100 for Celtic and Hearts away though.

    Does anybody though really believe that a drastically improved TV deal in Scotland would result in a reduction in admission prices?

    Going slightly off tangent, there's always an excuse offered by sport, utilities, transport and more as to why everything in the UK is always dearer than everywhere else.

    Should a new and improved TV offer transpire, you can bet that there would be another reason offered as to why admission prices would increase exponentially.

    I'm sure when the AST scheme started Hibs said we'd get at least 2 days notice before any money was debited, we're only getting 14 hours notice before the ticket office opens tomorrow and thats not fair on the fans.

    Will depend on whether we sell out before the match at the ticket office. We only get behind the goals (1100) and if theres enough demand we sometimes get part of the South Stand, about a quarter of it IIRC

    from 27 july 2016


    When will my account be debited?We will aim to debit accounts one day prior to the tickets going on sale to season ticket holders. This is normally approximately 2 weeks before the match, but can change depending on when we receive tickets from the opposition side. If a payment is not taken the Club will contact the individual directly to discuss.

    I wonder if they deliberately printed the wrong prices initially, just to have a laugh at the reaction on here.

    Or they could just proof read their documents before releasing them.
