Are the ELO fans being exploited?So your response to Rangers fans loyalty being exploited is simply, ach well, their choice? That's staggering.

You wouldn't go as far as to suggest it's fleecing fans?
Yet you say they'll routinely rob, take advantage and pilfer?
That's quite a leap there.
Robbery and pilfering are both references to theft which of course couldn't be further from the truth.
There's a game on, it's £52 a ticket. You buy one or you don't. Nobody is being robbed or pilfered, it's a free market and there is a match ticket in exchange for your money.
Also it is perfectly fair to compare concerts.
I wanted to see ELO but the 90 quid ticket was above what I'd pay so I left it.
Slipknot play Glasgow next year, I'd pay £90 for that if that's the ticket price. It's a gig I really don't want to miss.
It's not about injustice and playing on emotions, it's how sales work.
It wouldn't sell out at ELO prices of £90, so guess what? It's not £90 a ticket.
It will sell out at £52, so that's what the price is.
So can you answer my post.This is staggering.
Like the previous poster you have failed to acknowledge the unique relationship between football clubs and their fans.
My loyalty for the club I love has been aggressively exploited by other clubs for decades. I have paid ticket prices higher than other SPL fans pay to access decrepit grounds in which I fear for my safety and have been recorded by police for ninety minutes. I have been exploited by Thomas Cook charging excessively high fees for travel to games in Barcelona, Valencia, Lisbon, Eindhoven and Luxembourg. I have paid money to watch games that have been abandoned first time around and which the home club have still charged money for. And I do it because I love the club.
If your argument is that the price of tickets can be capped at whatever price they can be sold out for, you're setting a precedent whereby you're suggesting that ticket prices can be inflated to whatever artificially high prices would sell out an allocation. I reckon our away section at Parkhead would still sell out if it was 200 quid a ticket. Would that be fair? I'd like you to respond directly to this.
I also didn't say that Rangers and Celtic rob, take advantage of and pilfer money - I said they've taken advantage of an atmosphere and culture in which this happens.
How many people come on here bragging to tell us they spent that to see El clásico. Before taking flights and accommodation into account.what school did you go to?
Where did I say that, what is staggering is how you came to that conclusion.
Can you tell me where our fans are getting exploited by our Club ?
By the way you have fed these Clubs that hate us
Not for me, Rangers First, Rangers onlyWhat a pathetic response that flies in the face of an away support that has sold out EVERY SINGLE ALLOCATION since Dundee United away in the Scottish Cup SIX AND A HALF YEARS AGO.
You use the word idiot.Not too sure where you're going with this. I think the prices of tickets across the whole of Scottish football are a disgrace. I made that clear in my opening post. People posting 'good' that ticket prices are on the increase are idiots or they don't go to games.
You are very angry. Trying to justify giving money to those who despise us.What a pathetic response that flies in the face of an away support that has sold out EVERY SINGLE ALLOCATION since Dundee United away in the Scottish Cup SIX AND A HALF YEARS AGO.
£90 is on the low side, which Concerts have you attended and how much did you pay?I didn't say anything about Rangers fans being exploited by the club.
Your response to high ticket costs and travel was simply something about that being someone's choice.
I don't attend too many concerts so I don't know if 90 quid is the going rate or not.
You are very angry. Trying to justify giving money to those who despise us.
It's your right, I'll give you that. Do what you want with your cash. But it's a bit much fucking your own team in the arse then firing cheap shots at your fellow fans.
I paid £43 for away seats at Old Trafford in 2005/6.Absolutely no idea, but the anticipated similarities doesn't make it any less unacceptable.
However, I do know away tickets in the EPL are capped at thirty quid.
Baseball in London recently was £65 for the worst seats in the stadium.
Then don’t.Serious question , if we are treating the poets the same as every other club why don’t we charge them the same as say sheep or HIV’s . I don’t want to pay £53 in December .
London Stadium.Which stadium did they play baseball in?
Cutting out all the drama.This is staggering.

I wouldn't go near that shitpit in the East end of Glasgow even if they paid me. Thankfully most Bears feel the same.What a pathetic response that flies in the face of an away support that has sold out EVERY SINGLE ALLOCATION since Dundee United away in the Scottish Cup SIX AND A HALF YEARS AGO.
I know, thats the cost of a bootleg warm vodka and orange in a poet pub."Shot up"
Calm down, it's £3.
They really don’t feel the same. Majority I know will be wanting a ticket come DecemberI wouldn't go near that shitpit in the East end of Glasgow even if they paid me. Thankfully most Bears feel the same.
That's what I say, charge them £100 and because we have to sell home tickets at the same price we should add a loop hole that the ticket is say £40 for the home end and the club will pay £60 to Erskine or even better an in house charity? Benevolent fund etcHow many people come on here bragging to tell us they spent that to see El clásico. Before taking flights and accommodation into account.
As I've said before. I'd watch Rangers v al ion Rovers before Madrid v Barca so it makes me laugh.
Then you'll have some of the complainers who never go and others who have spent 600 quid plus to go to any number of qualifiers these last few weeks.
Ohx and then complain King doesn't dig deep enough.
Charge the mentally challengeds 80 a head I say.
And when they do the same? Tell them to ram it.
Easy.
They really don’t feel the same. Majority I know will be wanting a ticket come December
who were they playing that day?So can you answer my post.
By the way you have fed these Clubs that hate us
Who was who playing?who were they playing that day?
Rangers v who ever hates usWho was who playing?
You have lost meRangers v who ever hates us
let me find youYou have lost me
What has that to do with anything. You were talking about going to the Piggery where you said most don’t want to go, another misconception on FF. everyone I know that travels to the games gone & away will want a ticket for the return game, myself included.That ship has sailed, matey. And it ain’t ever coming back.
No Paedos in the Broomie.
Yes, when you go to away games ( and I get the reasons ) You are giving money to Celtic, Hibs, Aberdeen etc.let me find you
you said to the poster in your quote you fed the clubs who hate us
I agree with you that our away support will pay anything to see us at Parkhead, but I also agree that most of our fans won't go thereWhat has that to do with anything. You were talking about going to the Piggery where you said most don’t want to go, another misconception on FF. everyone I know that travels to the games gone & away will want a ticket for the return game, myself included.

I never said I wanted as many bears possible, I’m saying the majority will be wanting one. And I got one last season anywayYou have as much chance of getting a ticket for the dump as you had last season. If you want as many Bears as possible to get one, then you’re suggesting we go back to taking 8,000 tickets .
am sure they feel the same about coming to usYes, when you go to away games ( and I get the reasons ) You are giving money to Celtic, Hibs, Aberdeen etc.
The very Clubs that were the heart of trying to kill us, by all means go but you can't deny you are feeding these Clubs
Then 7000 Rangers fans would lose out at Ibrox. No brainer,look after our ST holdersYou have as much chance of getting a ticket for the dump as you had last season. If you want as many Bears as possible to get one, then you’re suggesting we go back to taking 8,000 tickets .
yes .........You have as much chance of getting a ticket for the dump as you had last season. If you want as many Bears as possible to get one, then you’re suggesting we go back to taking 8,000 tickets .
I couldn't care less about themam sure they feel the same about coming to us
So you would deprive 7000 Rangers fans a ticket for Ibrox, so you could get a better chance of a ticket for Parkhead?yes .........

am top points on the sc bus and we do ok to get 1/2 more normally since this allocation disaster ....So you would deprive 7000 Rangers fans a ticket for Ibrox, so you could get a better chance of a ticket for Parkhead?
accies 22 up to 25 nowSt Mirren are charging us a lot more on Sunday than they charge other away supports, has that made the news?, the tims have been charging us similar prices for many a year, has that made the news?
Will the press report on their beloved 'hoops' in December when they continue to charge us prices like this and higher?
will they %^*&
So ' I'm all right Jack 'am top points on the sc bus and we do ok to get 1/2 more normally since this allocation disaster ....
so my chances are better ?
Who exactly are the rank and file?The days when 30,000 of us went there are long gone.
The rank and file will not go near the cesspit nowadays. If 800 Bears want to experience that place, then good luck to them, they’ll certainly need it.
if i stopped going to east fife, st mirren and so on I probs down in my luck bob :0So ' I'm all right Jack '
Fair to Accies they’ve kept there’s pretty low for a while now. Think Sunday is £27accies 22 up to 25 now
Who exactly are the rank and file?
