Haha! I'm Thick
Face value of a ticket v Hibs last weekend was over £40 was it not?
£25 for Legia at home

Being loyal doesn't give the club the right to rip us off though.
Rapid had an increased allocation, but not as big as Legia are getting.

How much for the likes of Kilmarnock, Motherwell etc away?
Genuine question as I no longer go to away games and havent for some time

Rapid got 1200.
Spartak got the usual away corner which is 950.
They’re both entitled to 2500 but the Police can rule against that.

£30-£43 depending where you sat in the ground
They seemed more but hey ho.

I think that’s a great price. We need to realise that where we are, getting to the group stage is not a God given right. This is a massive game and good value at £25.
I imagine the group stage games will be priced at the same level as last season. It’s hefty but the club know we will sell out and we can’t pass up cash.
I’d like to see lower prices but we can only afford it if we sort out our commercial revenue - that’s my only criticism of the Board - not the prices in our current situation.

How are the club ‘ripping us off’?
As far as I can tell your basis for that is comparing prices with Them, which as I said is a flawed comparison.
In the modern game £35 for a European Group Stage game against potentially pretty decent opposition isn’t ridiculous when you look at league game prices against garbage like St Mirren.

Comparisons with other clubs don’t really hold up. It’s supply and demand, Celtic Chelsea and Arsenal will all be pricing in the basis that fans are pissed off they aren’t in the champions league and they need to try and get punters in. Our board are looking at it as our first foray into the group stages in Europe since 2010 and know tickets would be in high demand. We have to be run like a business to maximise our revenues, on occasion that means we have to dig deep but at least the money is going to Rangers here
They charged that cause they wouldn't have sold at 105, ours did. WATP

I agree that the league prices are too high, especially considering the shite opposition. As a non ST holder the prices have went up 10% for 2 years in a row, and a Europa League group ticket cost me £40 last year. It's not just comparing to 'them', I posted a comparison against all the UK teams in the groups stages last year and we were the highest by quite some distance.

The board cashed in last year. Fair enough. The fans should be given a better deal this year.

I guess it depends on personal circumstances. I'll just be delighted if we reach the Group Stages once more.
Given where we have been in recent seasons and how the current Board and other investors have responded I'm only too willing, as most want to do, to support the Club.

I don’t think we sold out our Europa games last year. There was tickets available for every game I’m sure.

Last year was £105.This competition is a money making exercise for us.The more games we get the more money goes into the club.

There was. Tickets available for all 3 games on the day.
Someone else will take your ticket. Supply&Demand.

So you're happy to pay £30 per ticket but will cancel your CCCS if it goes to £34 per ticket?

Yes.
They are entitled to 2500 under UEFA rules.

Interesting
If we qualify and get a big EPL team in the group stages I reckon it'll be about £40 for non-St holders.
Which shows pricing was on the high side.

Adding Chelsea and Arsenal into the mix has no bearing on things either though. Like Celtic, their fans have no interest in the EL having got used to CL games and seeing it as beneath them.
Also, the English teams don't rely on gate receipts to function in the manner we do. It's a pointless comparison.

What will a 3 match package be in the champions league for us next season

He's well within his rights to do so. Doesn't mean it's overpriced all the same and going on last years games, someone will be happy to pay it.

Well other U.K. teams (England) routinely charge £50+ for league games so I think we are probably on the right side of that comparison.
I understand people have their own financial situation, but the Club is a business at the end of the day and will look to maximise both attendance and revenue, other clubs will do exactly the same which may come out at a different number in terms of ticket pricing.

I'll happily pay pretty much anything if you can guarantee it for me.
£25 for such a big tie is excellent value.

I think it should be a £1 plus VAT because after all we have supported through the years by buying ST and they owe us big time, We are entitled Blah Blah Blah.
moan moan moan
Rapid fans were excellent last year - sang / clapped start to finish.
£25 is about right and being honest the £100-£110 it will be for the group games (all going well is also about right)

Tickets should be priced at the absolute maximum they can be without impacting on sales - think the three games last year all just sold out, which suggests the balance was perfect.

If you want to compare with them, feel free. But if they were free entry to the crime scene, we would still not be getting ripped off.Aye, that's exactly what my post said, we charged £105 and they (the tims) charged £72
Go watch them in their cesspit if it bugs you that much, simple

Calm down.
I said it should have been £30 last night and the next round as well, as i thought £21 was too cheap. Did i say entitled , blah , blah.

Really ? they have qualified twice out the last six years and one of them was Legia Warsaw
Used to being humiliated? they hardly sold out a game

Apologies mate, I didn't realise I wasn't allowed to complain about pricing. I hope to see you digging up anyone who complains about the price of pies.
