Gaag Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Thought that was against UEFA rules? Have clubs not supposed to have address details of attendees? Evidently not - it was posted on the clubs official Facebook page yesterday http://www.perthstjohnstonefc.co.uk/newsitemsdetail.php?param=2623 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weesacs Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Bet you guys are happy you don't support Bournemouth - they charged £65.00 for a ticket for their Real Madrid friendly at the weekend. and some wee guy got ended up with a broken arm from a wayward Ronaldo shot for the privilege!! i was thinking the same about our game, would be so much better if we allowed PATG, but i think UEFA stipulate it must be all ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was surely the top ticket you could buy? There's no way we would sell out the East Stand at £65 a go for any team in the world unless there were Megan Fox lookalikes providing free hand relief at half time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mere £55 for season ticket holders: Adult: £55 Concession: £40 U16: £25 Executive: £75 General sale price: Adult: £60 Concession: £45 U16: £30 Executive: £80 Terrible, tbh.

Frazzie Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 The important question is: how many folk turned up? If it was anywhere near full then they clearly did the right thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Sold it out, so the club has been vindicated. Still, poor stuff in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 The important question is: how many folk turned up? If it was anywhere near full then they clearly did the right thing. The correct decision... ...the match was played in front of a capacity 12,000 crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzie Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 If Motherwell charged £50 a skull for the Kuban game, I'd probably pay it (grudgingly) and if 13,741 others did the same I would be delighted. I think fans complaining about ticket prices are justified. They only become hypocritical when they laud the signings of McFadden, McManus, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think fans complaining about ticket prices are justified. They only become hypocritical when they laud the signings of McFadden, McManus, etc I agree with you on the latter point entirely. Complaining about ticket prices while simultaneously complaining about a lack of investment: Throbber behaviour. I think there's a limit though, football should be affordable and £50 is just blatant profiteering. I realise it's standing against the tide, but special footballing moments should be shared with your friends and family, whatever form that takes, and not with a collection of better off strangers. I don't know, it just seems wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzie Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 ....special footballing moments should be shared with your friends and family, whatever form that takes... This is a different debate for a different day, but I actually disagree with that. Folk bringing their wives, mums, grannies and every other Tom, Dick and Harry to the Cup Final (for example) does my box in because: A) They'll never be back to a normal game. B) They don't appreciate the significance of the occasion. C) They dilute the atmosphere. I'd rather have had half the number of fans at Hampden at 2011 if I'm honest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well_nuts Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Just been down for my tickets me and and 5 others and was expecting to stand in about for about a hour. There was no one there and the ticket office sent me next door to get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NottsMFC Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 The thing with the Bournemouth v Real game is that Bournemouth would have had to have paid a hefty fee to Real to get them play the game in the 1st place & also cover their expenses. Guessing that's the reason the ticket prices were so high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geed Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Lets just hope we get a good crowd for next thursdays game, am buying tickets morra for 3 guys who go once in a blue moon now, so lets hope we get a result and encourage them back more.

roly Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I'd rather have had half the number of fans at Hampden at 2011 if I'm honest. What about '91? Would you have preferred to see us win the cup from a half empty terrace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geedub Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 What about '91? Would you have preferred to see us win the cup from a half empty terrace? You could stand wherever you wanted in 91 so like minded fans could group together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, really, so apologies for sidetracking the thread, but it all comes along with the same problems of ticket prices. As much as they're moaned about in Scotland, pale in insignificance to the prices down here. £45 to Norwich - Everton at the start of the season is a complete pisstake, and that'd be me going from London, let alone those coming from Liverpool. Who can actually afford that regularly? Mental. When I say family and friends, I go to home games with my dad, my sister, and before he couldn't walk that far anymore, my grandfather, so pretty much all home games have been with them and I like it. Away games I go with my pals. So aye, I didn't mean folk that don't get it. But aye, I do agree with you, I'd be fine with the wives/maws/grannies if they could be bashed into their own section, where they can whine about it on their own.

mfc Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Fans need to come out and support the club here. We all want players like Faddy and McManus but complain when the club charge £25 for a European game. The cost for the club to travel to Russia is coming in at 125k. We certainly could make a loss in this tie. well said grievesie hopefully as many fans as possible come out and support the club financially on the night as well as giving the players our backing,if you have any mates or family members that you could convince to come then do your best to do so.on the football side im quite confident we will get a positive result in this game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing that's the reason the ticket prices were so high. No just blatant profiteering, 12K crowd probably made them in excess of 500 K in gate receipts alone, add merchandise, catering and its a tidy sum. Even taking their costs into acount, Madrids fees etc they are still making a healthy profit., but the game was a sell out so the bournemouth fans must be happy with it.

weeyin Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Anyone paying £65 for a friendly is an idiot. Sorry... Was about to say the same. I'd be thinking twice about 65 quid if we played them in a competitive match. To pay 65 quid to watch a training sessions is madness.
