What Would You Pay To Watch Motherwell?

[gilmour]

With the subject of falling attendances being such a hotly debated subject, w hat do you honestly think the game is worth paying for ?

[Brazilian]

as an adult £12

[kristoff]

£10 a skull across the board.

[johnstone]

A fiver and a sniff of Lasleys shorts after the game...

£5 for kids is a good affordable amount , £15 for adults is also a decent amount .

 

That i think would be a decent return for club and also pretty affordable for people these days

 

 

[David]

Between £10-£15 for adults seems like a fair price to me, and a fiver for under 16's.

 

I'm not sure if that will see attendances rise considerably mind you, but there you go...

[Iain7_mfc]

No matter what SPL ground you goto it should be £15/£5 for adults/juve's.

[KirkySuperSub]

I'd say £5 / 6 for kids, £12 for adults.

[EightSixteen]

I think £12 for an adult with £5 for kids & concessions being about right. That'd need be consistent accross the league though for it to have any lasting effect on SPL attendances.

[CoF]

About 15 quid is value for money. The risk is that the decreased income (unless of course attendances go up significantly to offset the difference) results in a further reduction in quality, and we end up feeling like that 15 is no longer value for money.

[Geedub]

15 quid would suit me as well

[Coolhandluc]

£12 adult, £5 for kids

 

 

[madscot]

How much is it to watch a film in the warmth of a cinema for a adult and child ? about £15 ? thats what the footie should be.

[Dr.Pangloss]

I voted for all the kids prices. Because I could.

 

I wouldn't pay anything over £15. SPL clubs must be pissing themselves laughing at charging the fans more and more for the garbage that gets put out there.

[sinjy]

My season ticket works out at £13.50 per game if I get to them all. That for me is good value. I have gone to fewer and fewer away games over the last five years. £20 -£25 is far too much especially when the money is going to the opposition not the Well.

[fatcalf]

15 is the absolute maximum, a fair price would be a tenner.

[sbcmfc]

I reckon £10-15 is about right, £15 is more realistic.

 

I think 10-20 years of increasing prices and certainly over the last 10 years decreasing quality mean it's too late! Scottish football, or certainly outwith the old firm has lost thousands of fans, that they won't get back!

[steelboy]

you can already pay 15 quid a game by getting a season ticket.

 

anyone who wants a price cut should also identify where the club should reduce their spending by the same amount.

Not talking about Motherwell in particular here, as our prices aren't too bad compared to others, but to flip your argument on it's head, how can clubs justify cutting squad sizes, reducing the wages they are willing to pay, and refusing to spend in the transfer Market, instead picking up free agents from the English lower leagues. So reducing the quality of the product, in stadiums that in many cases are deteriorating as well, yet year on year they stick another quid on the entry price????

do you think they are high diving scrooge mcduck style into pools of cash?

 

VAT got bumped up by 2.5 percent but ticket prices stayed steady, that's a net loss for the club. inflation is at 4% yet the price to pay into the east stand has been the same for years.

 

every penny counts at fir park, we spend £1.8 million a year on player wages directly competing against english teams. does anyone want to see that reduced?

I take your point, but as I said, I'm talking more generally. Motherwell have the cheapest tickets in the spl I'd imagine, so are going in the right direction, but it's still too expensive.

 

Perhaps years and years of mismanagement when clubs DID have money, and were pulling in bigger crowds has lead us to this point?

 

I'm really enjoying following Motherwell this season, but in all honesty, in most games there is a glaring lack of quality on the park.

 

Do you honestly think £20+ is a realistic price for an spl game?

As said before my season ticket works out around £13.50, I buy it because it helps the club in the summer but mainly cos it's cheaper that way and more representative of what I think the product is worth. Once that ticket goes over £15 then I'll think again cos I don't think that is worth it.

 

Price cuts are easy, reduce wages but we are not talking specifically Motherwell here, in general Scottish fitba' is overpriced and the industry needs to rethink it's costing before many more walk away. For too long the industry wasn't regulated and clubs just added a quid on year after year with no thoughts of the future consequences. I think they're at saturation point now, no further rises can be absorbed without losing substantial numbers of additional 'floaters', Hell mend them though, the clubs created this situation so they need to get together and do the right thing now.

Centralise tickets sales via the league, centralise shirt sales and league merchandise,cap wages and distribute the wealth more evenly.

An advocate of the Socialist Premier League then?

[CrosshillWell]

I work on from 11am on Saturdays and from 4pm on Sundays, so I don't get to see the team that often.

 

I was really looking forward to seeing us play Celtic at home, at a time I could watch the game. For the first time ever, I didn't go. I looked at the cost of two adult tickets, what I would spend when at Fir Park, and travelling to and from Glasgow. With little change back from sixty or even seventy quid, I could put the money to better use.

 

It's the first time I have ever questioned spending money seeing my team, when I don't get to see them every Saturday, it makes getting the chance a bit special. But it costs a lot, far too much, in the current financial climate.
