I’m sure I will if we win.
All I said was the majority that got away from home will want a ticket for the return game, and you’ve came away with rank and file nonsense and mentioning the allocations when that wasn’t even spoke about

They don't, though. That is a massive misconception based on not a lot of evidence.
Ticket prices are only worth no more or less than the value that someone is willing to pay
Ffs Myself and the good lady were unlucky in the official ticket ballot for the 2016 Scottish cup semi final against the filth at hampden.
Found a hospitality package advertised for £300 with 29 members club, did I pay? of course I did, and the outcome of the game made it well worth the price £600 for 2 of us.
Bottom line I was lucky enough to afford the asking price and paid because I was willing to pay the asking price to attend this particular game against the filth - I was also offered a similar hospitality deal for the final and refused to pay because I considered that it was too expensive for that particular game and opposition.

No, the concert price tickets comparison isn't valid. The excessively high ticket prices that football fans pay is part of a consistent institutionalised exploitation of the working class that involves collusion by transport companies, the government, television, the police and football bodies. Football clubs can play upwards of three games a match. Paul McCartney visits Glasgow once every ten years.
I have less of a problem giving Rangers my money than I do other clubs who charge our fans significantly more because they know they can get away with it. Clubs in Scotland take advantage of, and will continue to take advantage of, Rangers fans' unwavering loyalty for their team. We would continue to sell out away allocations if all the tickets cost 50 quid. Under the auspices of the free market, you seem to think that this is a fit and proper way to allocate prices to tickets - work out how much you can get away with charging, and then charge it. I'd be really interesting to know what you'd think of the potential prices of some potential Europa League away games this season - I suppose it's okay charging Rangers fans 90, 100 euros for a match at the Emirates because we'd sell out the allocation? In fact, what did you think of St Joe's charging our fans considerably more for our game than they did their preliminary game? We're the big box office draw, we'd pay a lot more and not question it - totally fair, right?
We may have "accepted" a rise to season ticket prices, but surely Rangers have an obligation to charge as much as they can to sell out the stadium? Surely they could rise season ticket prices by 20, 30 percent and still sell out season tickets?
If you think that it's fair for a football team to charge a group of working class supporters 200 quid for a ticket - who would continue to sell to sell it out regardless of price, you don't have a grounding on how financial difficulty it is for some fans to go to the football, and somewhere in there something about fans blindly, loyally and unthinkingly paying these prices because of the love for their team.

No, most Bears I know haven’t been to that place since the old days. Even when we had 8,000 up to just recently,that is still a tiny minority of the support.

That gets them 2,500 seats at our place. No thanks.
it gets us 3k at theirs
YES PLEASE
If you say so.
No wonder every club fucks us over with guys like you in our support. Reading your previous posts I take it you attended the supposed boycotted Dundee hibs game. I don't go to away games anymore as I won't fund our haters and get treated like scum by police etc. You keep on believing your a bigger rangers fan than me but where I'm from theirs a name for guys like you.
So your happy to have rangers season ticket holders kicked out their seats just for your own selfish reasons.
follow follow we will follow Rangers
Tell that to the Rangers fans you want locked out of Ibrox so more paedos can visit.
Sorry you've gone way too far with that now.
Collusion with transport, tv companies and the government to charge football fans over the odds?
You do realise this is a Rangers forum?
I'd be delighted if you could tell us who in Government or TV is working alongside Rangers.

I'm not sure you've understood my statement if you're asking who is working "alongside" Rangers.
You're aware of the negative definition of collusion, yes?
So let me get this straight?
By NOT working alongside Rangers, you believe somehow the TV companies, government and transport companies are forcing our ticket prices to rise?
You've already stated in this thread that you used to able to attend an OF game in the 80s for about 2 quid.
I remember my first cup final in the late 80s was £3 as was my first European game in 1990.
I can only assume then that the Government interference in forcing clubs to charge more happened as recently as the 1990s?
Nothing to do with Sky and all seater stadia?
give me the megaphone
It's in BF1 every home game.
am in CR
So not affected by the beggars in our stadium?am in CR
Once you buy a seat in BF5 and put yourself at risk of missing out, then you can be taken seriously.
nope... when it happens I doubt much will be effected at all
None should be affected.
Putting beggars before bears?
When it happens? You sound like a yesser with delusional wishful thinking like that.

Did you see how they reacted to having no supporters at Ibrox? They shit themselves. The advantage they have held over us from having a full stand, versus is being in the corner has been proven to be huge.
I'd not want to give that back for the sake of a few extra Bears going to the shitpit.
Nobody said yes to brexit, it wasn't an option.to brexit I said yes
one of the 17 odd million anyway ...will accept that
no proof ......

That makes no sense. Just math suggests 2500 versus 1000, means 1500 Bears would be impacted. Add to that the difficulty of safely putting 2500 of them anywhere in Ibrox and you're probably talking about another 500 minimum being impacted. They can still cram 3000 in the corner without much of an impact on security.

Really? We dominated them and their mouse like support at Ibrox. We held our own at the piggery.
Them having a full stand was huge for them. You're talking pish to defend your argument.

The rank and file won’t go near there? That’s just not true. I’ve done Rangers home and away for 20 years now know personally hundreds of Rangers fans who attend as many games as they can and I do not know one single person who won’t go there if they can get a ticket.
Follow follow is a weird wee place.
prove that aswell....
Asking for proof but claiming you voted yes to Brexit.

They have plenty enough seats,as it stands!!!!if they do not want to pay it tell them to phuck off,plenty of the chosen ones would gladly fill our own stadium,it’s no coincidence in our performances and results,since the “smelly ones “have had their allocation reduced,also look at a couple of their players eyes and body action,when we are in full voice,they don’t like it,especially the big skinny so called central defender.
we beat the, before when they had the entire broomloan....as said no proof
well did we as a nation vote for it
am too busy acting very very strange to agree with this bud
Again, you said you voted yes.well did we as a nation vote for it
Nobody voted yes.
Yes wasn't an option.
When did we leave?awk away you lol
we voted to leave EU and thats what we did

Firstly, I never actually said I attended OF games in the 80s.
You're also using language that's deliberately disingenuous - I never said anything about "forcing" and "interference."
There's a lot of things going on that has contributed to excessively high tickets in British football. In the aftermath of the Taylor Report and the mostly unknown "Blueprint for the Future of English Football" - which laid down, in black and white, the desire for football to move towards a middle class audience (a nature consequence of the free market: the average age of the football fan in England is something like 53, an effect of which is dull and stagnant atmospheres), football began a wave of unprecedented gentrification that was facilitated by the lack of action, or devious actions of, several institutions. For instance, National Express is one of the sponsors of the FA Cup, a tournament where the final is held at an hour where fans are unable to get the last train home from - so they need to get buses instead.
I'm talking generally about the rise in ticket prices and I'm aware that I'm not providing specific examples of this in Scotland, so let's look at how a working class fan is treated here, and let's take the actual travel to a game. The general lack of affordable rail travel for games is confounded by television companies, football bodies and the police colluding to dictate awkward and last-minute fixture re-arrangements. There are so special concessions for rail travel to football games as there used to be (though it has been mooted under Labour), automatically making the experience of travel to games expensive in a way it isn't in Germany or (I think) Portugal.
Incidentally, I take it you approve of the rise in train ticket prices in the name of the free market?
Then you have the cost of an actual ticket - and this statistic will really shock you. 1 in 10 Scottish football fans thinks a ticket represents good value for money. 1 in 10. Let that sink in. And then ask yourself - why are these people still buying tickets when it's not value? Why are we one of the better attended leagues in all of the world when there is wide disdain for ticket prices? Seriously, really think about that.
The Scottish government and football bodies are mostly uninterested in challenging ticket prices because I imagine Holyrood would be happier knowing there's a more middle class consumer out there (don't want those crass working class fans causing chaos again) and the SPFL because they get a slice of the pie. I also don't recall Rangers seriously challenging ticket prices in Scotland because they're in a position where they can afford to charge our own fans extra for games and reap the benefits of it: take the Killie SC replay match: Rangers didn't protest at 27 quid ticket prices because in the event of a replay they had to charge the same price - and did, to much dismay amongst a support who can recognise when something does not reflect value but which they're willing to look past because it involves the thing they lost most in the world.

The paedo apologists are not getting the Broomloan back now matter how entitled any Rangers fan thinks they should be when applying for an away ticket.

The 5% rule wouldn't over-ride safety though. We got less than the specified allocation for the sheep because of safety.
Where could we put 2,500 of them and keep all fans safe? Bottom or top of Broomloan isn't viable, and doing just half of Broomloan creates problems in the concourse.
It'll be the same at their place.
