I agree - just mentioning why there may be some mumping and moaning from some.
in my eyes it’s priced correctly and hopefully brings in some £££ as ultimately that’s what’s needed.

Nobody forced you to buy a ST. We all knew we weren’t getting value for money this year but did it anyway.
Plus when fans are let back in we are guaranteed our ST seats, others aren’t.
Anyway, if you buy the RTV full package at £240 with a VPN, it must work out cheaper than £10? Nobody moaned at that.

I don’t know about anyone else but I renewed even though there is an actual chance I may not be allowed into a game at all this season or very little of them, but I still signed up regardless of this. I knew the price and paid it anyway. £9.99 for joe public is a fair price

Sensible pricing which should bring in more money.

They can't charge the price of a standard match ticket. That's £20-£25 and no-one is paying that for a stream.
I'm a season ticket holder and not bothered by this in the slightest.

As a STH, my only issue will be if the quality isn't there for the numbers accessing it. If I'm paying near £30 and can't get a brilliant picture because a few thousand folk are paying £10 to tune in, that would be galling. I don't know if there's a technical capacity for different servers or web pages for STH's and PPV'ers.
In isolation though, that's a very good price point to encourage people to watch. Hopefully all the would be pirates support the club and pay this to watch each week, even if it's 'only' the likes of St Mirren rather than find other ways.

Not saying it is but you can understand why there’s going to be thousands of unhappy ST holders
£25 credited for missed games from last season which amounted to roughly £130 and then this season we’ll be paying £15 per game for each game missed
Personally I think £9.99 is far too low all things considered but that’s just my opinion

My ST this season was essentially a donation, I dont expect to be returning anytime soon but I can see why people will be a bit annoyed

RTV? Completed it mate!
@GranvillusClutterbuckus will come along and explain that capacity isn't an issue in a better way than I can. But..capacity isn't an issue.

Consider all the additional revenue we will get that we wouldn't if the stadium was open, given we can only sell around 2k tickets for home games.

Thats a good price and no messing about with a VPN.
Tempted to get rid of the RTV unlimited package now and just pay £10 when we aren't on Sky.

It was £7.99 last year when I was paying for games whilst I was in the USA.
£2 increase isn't too bad all things considered

Great news. I'll certainly be using this function to watch games, starting with the one on Sunday.
Would it be worth starting a thread with, say, the next 4 games and the options on how to view them? Between Premier, BT, Sky and RTV I'm struggling to keep up!

You could have taken the option for a refund of last seasons games. It was offered by the Club.

I’ve got an ST and knew what I was signing up for, as did the majority. I don’t expect the club to rip off other fans at £30 a pop just because I’ve paid for a ST

Should rake it in. 20k gers fans and 30k of the obsessed from the east buying every home match.

Remember this is only for home games for UK based Bears. For away games you still need to be on an overseas holiday if on Sky. Unlimited works out at about £5 a game or less over a season.

If you don't want to pay more you risk losing it. There's thousands waiting for one. Think of it as paying to keep your seat when we get back in.

I know I could’ve, youre deliberately missing the point here.
So say we only get into Ibrox for 5 games, ST holders will have paid at least £200 more for the same tv coverage as ppv buyers
I think it’s priced too low considering but I’ll probably be in a minority
An they will get in the stadium before everyone else..
Need to think big picture here

I'm a STH and I think this is a sensible move by the club and should lead to us making a decent amount of money.

Not being a season ticket holder I can appreciate your view. All we can hope for is that the crowds are allowed to return in the not too distant future so you can benefit from your ticket. Only time will tell.

I was going to say that game will be on Sky, but then thought about it #obsessed
People who bought a ST did so in the knowledge that it was unlikely that they would be able to attend Ibrox.
They were also aware that the club required financial support during this time, it was not bought as an RTV subscription.
I'm happy with this as a ST holder myself. I understand the importance of capitalising on as many revenue streams as possible just now.
I would like to see some added benefits for ST holders but only if these weren't at a high cost to the club. I think there could be a couple of wee things they could do to say thanks, token gestures, but ones that would make people feel valued as loyal supporters.

They shouldn't have bought a season ticket then.
We all knew exactly what we were signing up for.

The club couldn’t really win with how they priced the games.
Go low (as they have done) and maximise potential sales for non ST Holders.
Go high, appease ST holders but lose more money without non ST income.

Good pricing. Hopefully the club make extra money from it to try cover some of the matchday shortfall.
As a season ticket holder I've no issue with it being a ten spot for others. We want to attract customers and pricing it at 20 quid plus a game isn't going to work at all. Likewise, my season ticket ensures I have a seat to return to when we can get back to Ibrox.

Of course that is right
Also the club don't have to make the game available for PPV in the UK either
As an ST holder that price is the most sensible for business. I didn’t even notice the price difference till believe it or not a tim mate told me. No complaints from this bear.
Livy’s is double that ffs.
Livy’s is double that ffs.
Couple of points
Pricing is in effect probably right to get more people watching and is reasonable enough that people won't go looking for streams.
Sth are paying a premium and reality is they probably should look to do something for season ticket holders as a gesture at least
The I suspect how we will be compensated will be for cup games etc to be included for season ticket holders maybe. If not their might be a riot.
Cause if not not people will be unhappy my ticket works out around £28 quid per game its a lot of money over the year when others are paying 10 for the same thing.

Great idea, making this available to non-season ticket holders, money to the club.

A bit torn on this.
I think it’s an excellent price point for the ‘public sale’ for home games. I’ve no issue with that aspect at all.
However I renewed at £700 this season plus decided not to take up the possibility of a refund or the £25 voucher.
So on paper I’m paying £36+ per home game, to watch on a VST system which so far has been far from the best.
I’m fortunate to have an ST and to hopefully still have one in the post covid situation if I stay healthy. In the interim though it’s hard not to feel as though I’m being fleeced a bit. I hope the club give some consideration to recognising their situation ST holders are in this year. I wouldn’t have thought that I would cost them much (anything?) to make the full RTV package available to us as a nod of thanks.

I genuinely don’t understand people who renewed their season ticket then moan about how they’re not getting to games and paying too much etc...
Surely anyone with a brain cell knew the risk and was renewing knowing they wouldn’t get their money’s worth?
