Stellaboz Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 If they're so bad, speak to them about it. We should all know by now they're approachable, so as well as moaning be active about it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Letting AJ buy two squads every season has set us back years.Hopefully if we do well next season prices will readjust.I cant help but feel that this is a recipe for less fans and less quality players and a downwards spiral.In a fan run club the club should be about the fans and not milking them for every penny.People will stop going next season if the team turns out to be poor.We really should have used the cup games to get fans inside and actually lowered the prices.£10 with free concessions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwenDAFC Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 If these games were £10 I’d probably be at all three, I just can’t bring myself to pay £15 to watch us play a friendly, or Albion rovers/East Kilbride. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Fans are going to get a shock this season. I really hope Arbroath and Alloa are utter dung and save us from relegation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Still hopeful we can do it on the pitch but getting the fans onside is really important. If we turn up already pissed off at paying daft prices then it's going to be hard.Most of the main stand where I sit are moaning old duffers.Vincent seemed to be their target last season. I wonder why they turn up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that the tickets can’t be cheaper than £12 due to the SPFL/SFA pricing rules. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weetoonlad Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 For friendly game they can be any amount agreed by both clubs £10 and £5 should be the fee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1885 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Think it will prove to be a poor decision and the attendances will be noticeably down on the similar games from last season (Peterhead and Stirling) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afraid this is absolute nonsense you've made up. Ours have been £10 and £5 for League Cup games for years. £15 for Albion Rovers on a Tuesday night is just silly and they fully deserve a sub-1000 crowd for that one. I was going to go to the EK game and Dundee match but because of pricing and TV scheduling I'll now be attending neither. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the minimum price that can be charged for the premiership playoffs and I thought that was a rule for all competitions.It technically is as well as the price can only be lowered if the home and away teams both agree to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 It technically is as well as the price can only be lowered if the home and away teams both agree to it.That’s just all cup pricing tho, The default option is a clubs normal league pricing, anything that deviates from that is by agreement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smpar Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 McArthur and the board have been generally very good at being open and honest with the fans, while demonstrating an empathy and understanding of what it’s like to be a fan. They’re really pushing their luck with these prices though, and decisions like that make you think they’re not quite as ‘in touch’ as we thought. Either that, or they’re just being a bit greedy and possibly even naïve about what fans will actually pay to watch us against East Kilbride in the group stage of the League Cup.I hope to see a reduction for the second home LC game, if not before then. I really hope they’re not budgeting for crowds of 1800-2300, because they might be in for a shock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Anyone who's been put out by this tried emailing the club? I was never going so couldn't have cared less either way, but there's little point moaning in here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Is £15 for the cup games actually so much? It's hardly a huge sum of money, save a few quid on your weekly shop or don't buy 1 pint in 7 or whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Are Pars Fans! Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 No chance be paying 15 quid to watch a friendly, that’s a disgrace. Think the cup games are steep as well but don’t grudge that as much. I will go to the cup games but no chance be headed to the friendly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
