I'd say it is when we are the only club charging that much and considering the opposition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

parxyz Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Realistically, if we win all our games in our cup group, fans being there probably won't make much of a difference in terms of whetting appetites. Important to remember that if we were somehow to lose against Albion/EK, that could quite easily have the adverse effect.Will be interesting to see however whether or not income will be higher for this year's league cup matches in comparison to the last. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering it's been £10 for years and most, if not all, other clubs are charging less, yes. It's also not about whether you actually can afford to go or not. It's the idea of telling the club you won't just pay over the odds because they made poor decisions and can't budget correctly. They'll then come out and indirectly blame supporters for the lack of cash available, despite them letting AJ recruit absolute shite like Hippolyte and Devine on 2-year deals. Scottish football has plenty of gullible saps who will keep reaching into their wallet to show they're a "real fan" so I doubt Dunfermline or any other club will be too concerned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so a £3 increase is hardly breaking the bank, and it’ll help the club enormously. I understand some folks being put out by this when their personal finances could be really tight, but £3-5 increase isn’t really that sore, especially if you want to see the club prosper in a way we’d all like. As stated above, buy one pint less on match day and it’ll not only help you, it’ll help the club too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Over the years I've seen my season ticket have friendlies cup games and other events removed. Fans have been getting screwed for decades to pay footballers stupid wages.It's not just dunfermline.I remember getting into a Scotland u21 game with it.Season ticket should be a season not just the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patricelad Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 For friendly game they can be any amount agreed by both clubs £10 and £5 should be the fee Yeah 100 percent agreed or season ticket holders should get free or a deal at least 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated above, buy one pint less on match day and it’ll not only help you, it’ll help the club too. Our adult prices are a 50% increase from last year - that’s fairly significant. Remember not everyone goes on their own as well, if 2 of you go, you’d get a 3rd person for the same price last year. Concessions are also double the price they were last year - the same price is cost for an adult last year! How can you argue that’s not a significant jump? A dad and 2 teenagers last year would have been £20. This year it will be £35, that is a very big difference!We’re charging 25% more than even the top flight clubs, just after using ‘competitive pricing’ as an excuse for league prices going up - which I didn’t have an issue with. No harm in charging the same as everyone else. Charging 25% more than Hearts, Hibs, Motherwell, St Mirren etc (for no obvious reason) doesn’t seem to be in line with the board trying to encourage fans to come back, does it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsforlife Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Board have backed down on cup prices. Now £12/£6. Wonder if today’s low home turnout had an affect? Good that they’ve listened but still doesn’t look good on the club. On the game I think the starting 11 today won’t be far off first choice and I think we looked pretty reasonable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
