Not justifying the cost but Chelsea/Man City etc get enough money from elsewhere.Had a look through various teams yesterday. We’re on the upper end of the scale.
Another data point - Chelsea £35 a game / £105 3 matches.
Surprised at Leipzig being so high tbh.
We went to Man City v CSKA Moscow CL group game in 2014.Not justifying the cost but Chelsea/Man City etc get enough money from elsewhere.
I know somebody who was trying to take his son to see Man City last year. The easiest matches by far to get tickets for were the Champions League matches. That's the reality of it.
Codger lol£124 for me I’m delighted
Red Bull are fair in all honesty:Had a look through various teams yesterday. We’re on the upper end of the scale.

Only the two most expensive tiers out of 9 are more expensive than our cheapest tickets.
They always need more context these articles I find - how many there are for sale, who can buy them etc...Only the two most expensive tiers out of 9 are more expensive than our cheapest tickets.
I haven't seen anything for Spurs but we are more expensive than Chelsea as well. Pretty clear our tickets for this group stage will be right up there as the dearest.
There is a €70/£60 cap on away fans tickets. I wouldn't be surprised if Anfield was like £45+Will be interesting to see how much we charge away fans, do UEFA have a cap on how much away fans get charged?
Or don’t receive as much tv revenue as others….It’s pretty simple
We charge the most because we have a ridiculously hardcore loyal following that on a lot of occasions is preyed on by that aspect
I don't even get why anyone is using that as a comparison. Unless there is a rule now that I'm not aware of that says we must make the exact same income from ticket sales as celticIt should have been £150 across the board, I still think that’s steep in the current climate, but at least it would have been fair.
The fact a large chunk of our fans will be paying £51 more for Champions league tickets than Celtic fans is beyond the pale, so what if they have more seats, them having more seats doesn’t mean our fans have more disposable income.
The tims are the obvious comparison.Not justifying the cost but Chelsea/Man City etc get enough money from elsewhere.

Man City can barely give tickets away. No surprise the prices, as you suggest,Not justifying the cost but Chelsea/Man City etc get enough money from elsewhere.

Chelsea tickets are tiered just as ours are and they go up to £70. There are plenty teams with higher prices than us.Had a look through various teams yesterday. We’re on the upper end of the scale.

I find it quite interesting that the Dhims have done 'across the board' pricing. I wonder, are their fans who sit in the cheap seats moaning that they have to pay the same as those in the prime seats?It should have been £150 across the board, I still think that’s steep in the current climate, but at least it would have been fair.

I know it's Europa Conference League but Cologne aren't a bad comparison really:
They are progressing mind on this front now. Sold out for season tickets this season.Man City can barely give tickets away. No surprise the prices, as you suggest,
Best I got was 1.46 in April 2006 when I first worked in Gibraltar and lived over the border in La linea so it’s quite a while ago that. I’d say we’ve been playing off around 1.20 for 14 years now?Depends how you spin that.
I remember getting €1.49 to the pound at one point which if that was the exchange rate it would be £45 for the expensive seats or in todays market about £57.
Chelsea tickets are tiered just as ours are and they go up to £70. There are plenty teams with higher prices than us.
They will no doubt arrract the tourist fans now that they used to slag off other clubs for. Manchester has a number of universities that attract lots of fans from the Far East and the subcontinent. Their (half empty) end during the community shield had a large number of ‘fans’ of Far Eastern and Indian sub-continent origin. I don’t buy that the majority are locals.They are progressing mind on this front now. Sold out for season tickets this season.

Its a piss take, USG and PSV were even across the board.It should have been £150 across the board, I still think that’s steep in the current climate, but at least it would have been fair.

Not much they can do end of day. Come across plenty at non league across north west who have sacked off going. Many not because of any tourists going but because they are sick of the random kick off times, same with loads of Clubs fans who became sick of it. You also come across some City fans who go all over and don’t care. No such thing as a perfect support in top flights really.They will no doubt arrract the tourist fans now that they used to slag off other clubs for.

Then there will just be the local glory-hunters.
No, they have all chased the money. It comes with the territory.Not much they can do end of day. Come across plenty at non league across north west who have sacked off going.

Not the case, EPL and German sides have far greater revenue streams from domestic TV deals so don’t have to take in anything like as much in ticket sales for “big” games, compare what we charge to watch spl dross at Ibrox and it’s night and day. That plus condensed population down south who support far more teams. It’s pretty simple really, us and Timothy are whales in a garden pond of fry in comparison terms, our pricing is fairIt’s pretty simple

My ticket for anfield for our game has cost the same as the ticket price at Ibrox
That is true, although £55 a ticket for the ECL games is good value. It’s in line with some paying over 40 quid to watch hammerthrowers come to Ibrox every other weekNot comparing it to those teams
And I’m not talking just exclusively about this.
The board know we will pay anything for anything if it’s either tickets or a rangers badge slapped on it
It’s pretty simple

Remember it wellIt's like 1996 all over again where the club charged too much for CL games.
Bears who were old enough to remember can explain this better than a young lad at the time.
I don't think it is as Ibrox will be full.It's like 1996 all over again where the club charged too much for CL games.

. The club will make hay while the sun shines as we may not see champions league football for a few years again
I'm sure if you factored in our wage bill vs our TV deal it'd make sense.We were the most expensive in the Europa Group stages as well last season.
Bit of a myth about German tickets being really cheap to be fair.Not the case, EPL and German sides have far greater revenue streams from domestic TV deals so don’t have to take in anything like as much in ticket sales for “big” games, compare what we charge to watch spl dross at Ibrox and it’s night and day.
