stuwell Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 With the ticketing arrangements still to be announced, I think that the game will not be a sell out and would suggest that if the visiting fans are not being housed in the south stand, then the club should sell adult tickets to this stand with a free kids ticket to try and encourage a larger crowd.

Haggischomper Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I doubt there was ever much consideration to housing the away fans in the south, given costs of getting here and the visa problems they will face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggischomper Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 But aye,sorry, you're suggestion is bang on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
something else Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Yep an atmosphere like the Ross County game at the end of season would be ideal. Good shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew23 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Folks think we're likely to sell out the East & Cooper at least? Couple of ideas in the pipeline with regards to a display i'm hearing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCDave Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Folks think we're likely to sell out the East & Cooper at least? Couple of ideas in the pipeline with regards to a display i'm hearing... TBH, I wouldn't even be confident of that. The novelty has well and truly worn off. Everyone is used to our glorious Euro failures, add to that the fact that's not a well known team..

two_sevens Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Sounds like it could be a 7.45 kick off after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfc Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 im confident the east,cooper and main stands will all be sold out for this game and hopefully prices are decent enough for the demand to be there to open the south Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobey_Dosser Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Hopefully tickets are no more than £15 in order to ensure a half decent crowd. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav212 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Aye, £15 Adults, £10 OAP/Students and £5 kids would ensure a good crowd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weesacs Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Hopefully tickets are no more than £15 in order to ensure a half decent crowd. whilst i whole heartedly agree, i cant see it the club will be looking to maximise their profit as much as they can from this game the reality is, this could be our only home game in europe this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well_Jaggy Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Details on tickets to be announced tomorrow. "Motherwell FC @MotherwellFC We will have all the ticket price and sale time information for our @EuropaLeague 1st leg match with @fckuban_ru available tomorrow (Tue)."

Welldaft Mk1 Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 £15 would be braw, but there is no way you can price a Euro tie for the same as a friendly and less than an SPL game. Well there is, but we need to pay for these players...... I expect to see prices around £20-£25. I would be happy if we could get circa 7-8000 in for the game given they are not well known...even if they look like they have a decent side. More excited than I was when the draw was 1st made...and I expect same come the evening itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 We're we not £15 against the likes of the Norwegian mob? Shouldn't be anymore than that until you get into the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I'm happy to pay 20-22/23 quid for this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuwell Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 This game will have to pay the cost of a charted flight to Russia, hotel costs etc, which I suspect wont be cheap so I don't think we can expect to see anything under £20.

Brazilian Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Think this will be the first time that the club will be struggling to break even on a euro qualification. Its going to cost hell of a lot to get the required staff out to Krasnodar especially with the timeline needed to get back in decent time for the Aberdeen game and all the restrictions and added costs that come with travelling to Russia. add in the fact its £22 to watch the likes of St Mirren at Fir Park I expect a minimum of £25 for Third round qualifier and at least the same if we get to the play off round although if that happens prices might be relaxed to say £22-£20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special aka Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Absolutely no disrespect to our Russian opponents but imho its a bluddy farce that at this stage of the competition a side from south eastern Europe has to play a side from north western Europe. The losers, (more likely to be us), will no doubt experience a financial loss, while supporters face a logistical nightmare and financial hardship to get to the away leg. In our case - a huge thank you to UEFA for this fitting reward for finishing 2nd in an outstanding domestic campaign. Seeding, various entry stages, inhibited fixtures, pot fixing, pre-qualification to the Group Stages ---- Platini and his suits need a boot in the baws for their self-preservation tactics and how they look after the big-boys. imho Tournament should be regionalised prior to Group Stages, give clubs a chance to make some money and fans the scope to follow their team. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaka Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 How exactly are we gonna make a loss? You get what,€30k from UEFA for just playing this round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Kerse Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Is it not about 90k to charter a plane and for hotels etc... That offsets most of the 'prizemoney'. Read a while back that UEFA could easily redistribute the money better as bigger teams in later rounds wont miss say from 500k a round to 400k however because teams from tiny countries end up in Europe every year it would give them an unfair advantage in their country, e.g. San Marino, Faroes or even Northern Irish or Welsh champions getting a guarenteed half million or so a year - in amateur leagues it is the equivelent of billions. Aye, UEFA concerned about fair play, who knew... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 imho Tournament should be regionalised prior to Group Stages, give clubs a chance to make some money and fans the scope to follow their team. I see what you are saying but I'm against regionalisation. I think qualifying for Europe would quickly lose its appeal if you were playing Icelandic and Norwegian teams ever year. To me part of the 'romance' of it is you can be drawn anywhere against anyone and if that was stopped I think interest would quickly ebb away.
