ICT v ST. Johnstone pay what you can

[wookie70]

Interesting idea for the ICT v ST. Johnstone game on 20 January. Supporters will be asked to pay what they can to attend. It got me thinking if Hibs did the same in a similar fixture what would you pay.

I would be around a tenner and treat the bairns to something out the club shop.

Is it means tested?

[emerald green]

Good idea and worth a try given the low crowds turning out for some fixtures, especially if the weather stays grim.

It will be interesting to see what the attendance is for this fixture.

[Big_Franck]

I'd pay £15 unless we were playing Celtic, the rangers or the saviles.

Been done to death on here so I won't go in to my view on the pricing this season, but I think Scottish Football in general is over-priced.

Tenner an Adult and a Fiver for under 16`s.. What it Should be.. imo

[Judas Iscariot]

£10 adults
£5 for over 60's, all students (16+) and folk on dole/income support/job seekers etc
£0 for U16's

[blackpoolhibs]

There was a game in England this or last week that did this, cant remember who it was between. I dont know if it was a success or not?

[Hibbyradge]

Pay what you can is a misomer.

It was Brentford v Rotherham last weekend. It didn't add too many onto the gate - maybe an extra 1k, although Brentford are flying high at the moment and getting decent crowds by their standards anyways (c9-10k) each week.

Albion Rovers did it for a game last season and, after it was a success, extended it to season tickets this season. Sales increased by 500% and revenue by 250%.

Obviously, there are factors behind those figures which would not apply at other "bigger" clubs.

Did you find out if they made more money than normal?

[Dashing Bob S]

ICT v StJ - in winter?

I'd pay about 50 quid NOT to attend. If they wanted any more than that I'd grudgingly trek along (assuming I lived locally) but doubt I'd last till half-time.

No, but I'd have an educated guess than an extra 10% added onto the crowd wouldn't be more profitable when people are paying what they want.

I'd have a guess we'd see roughly a similar increase to hibs attendance - maybe about 10-11k mark rather than the 9k ish we seem to be getting at the moment for cat B games.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

I could only see us losing money if we tried this

[SunshineOnLeith]

£20 Adult

£10 Kids/Students/OAPs

I think ticket prices over £20 are a psychological barrier, a bit like £3 a pint was a few years ago.

Disagree with £0 for under 16s (maybe under 5s at a push), but a tenner for adults and £5 for the rest would see the ground have 18k+ most weeks in my opinion

Its added about 100 to their gates over last season

[nellio]

I would pay 10-15 depending on opposition in this division and if we went up I would pay 15-20.

Why do you disagree? Just curious.

I don't agree with charging kids (U16's) at all, they're the future of any teams support and everything that can be done to get kids along should be..

Compromise would be a £1

[California-Hibs]

Id pay 10-15 for an adult, but let's be honest, loads of cheeky so and so's would pop in 1-2-3 pound.
