Quoted from bax


But these teams receive a minimum of £6.7m each in solidarity payments and revenue shares alone. That's even before a season or match ticket is sold. It's easy to discount ticket prices when you have millions coming in to compensate!


Literally said that myself.

Works out at around £15 a match in total for me and my son to sit in the Pontoon. I think that's very decent.

Some people won’t be happy until tickets are free, and even then they’ll want their bus fare covering.

I expected something more from the shift worker/exile angle, but can appreciate that you’d have to be careful selling those as people would probably do those over a full ST. Then again, if I weren’t an exile I wouldn’t give a shíte about it.

Quoted from GollyGTFC


Apart from the average Championship club loses £26m a year. And that’s pre-COVID.

I was expecting a family ST offer in the Main Stand and a better deal than the 6 for 5 offer announced.

I’m a little underwhelmed. More rearranging the deckchairs on the titanic than a route and branch relaunch of ticketing structures.

The elephant in the room is it’s 22 home league matches next season and not 23. That’s 4.3% of what you’re normally buying gone before you consider anything else.


I make it £13 a game for new STs for a grandparent (75+) and two grandchildren in the Main Stand - you won't get into the cinema for that (£18 in fact in Parkway cinema). Grandparents have more time - the keen 75+ and child pricing could work well. On the 1878 6 games for 5 you can't have better deal than for ST holders so that's best it can be.

Good news there. I’ll be renewing. Would’ve liked to have seen the price for younger kids go down, but am pleased see that teenagers (or parents) will save a few quid.

Be great to see the 10% discount applied to all previous STH holders to try and get a few back.

You can’t please all of the people all of the time…at least they’ve recognised folk bought one last year; perhaps that’s their fault but at least they’ve acknowledged that and offered something worthwhile…

All I wanted as an exile was an option to get a bit more value than £20 per game and the chance to get access to tickets for ‘big games’ easier (basically I’m going to do a fair few away games and don’t want to miss out). The 1878 ticks that perfectly.

To be fair I'm 100% behind the new owners of GTFC. If I had to try find a criticism or offer advice for the future I'd say look at doing a family ticketing system in the main stand. Something like (as an example) the furthest 500 seats towards the away end in the main stand offer for 1 adult and a child free season ticket deal. If they don't sell all 500 offer the limited amount of tickets left to game to game fans but only for that section.

I was a season ticket holder many years ago as a child for 10+ years before I moved away so I don't actually know if something is actually in place in the main stand for children or not at the moment?
