I just find it amusing that the Pars fans have gone full ‘boycott’ and talk of “exploitation” over a difference in price to the value of, what? A McDonald’s cheeseburger? A can of juice and a couple of bags of crisps? I’ve checked, you can’t even buy peanuts for £2...

mrpaddyx Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) I've probably missed it somewhere in the last 14 pages but have the club tried to justify why they are suddenly putting the PPV price up for the Pars game, its not like we have any extra costs to incur? The only thing I can think of is the increased traffic to the site because of who we are playing but even then I'm not sure that would make any difference.

Hank Scorpio Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 This is so fucking stupid from the club. 100% going to end up with egg on our face. Annoyed everyone for the sake of an extra £1000, great work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Do you actually need it spelled out for you why this is a minter from your club? Are you that dense?

CALDERON Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) 9 hours ago, Scary Bear said: No they don’t. I’m a season ticket holder and I’m happy enough for the club to get the money. I don’t want a rebate or anything cause I’m a superfan. For me, £10 to £12 for punters was about right. More than that seems expensive. That's your opinion though, and it's one I personally have, but not everybody will feel the same. A season ticket isn't a charitable donation, its a product and is meant to give the customer value over and above paying standard walk up prices. The club need people to fork up hundreds of pounds upfront every summer, and I personally don't think it would be a good look if it ended up that season ticket holders were out of pocket vs walk up fans. Bearing in mind people were asked to fork up £200 quid upfront after raising £100k during the Spring and Summer. That assumes fans won't be back this season of course and every game will be behind closed doors, but that is a possibility. Some clubs will need to be fluid with pricing as the pandemic progresses and id imagine the lack of clarity around fans coming back will have made forecasting and budgeting a nightmare. I presume all of that was done with some fans coming back relatively soon, and that is completely unknown. It's great and commendable that Hearts and Dunfermline are keeping their prices the same, but Dunfermline for example have had the benefit of significant changes at boardroom level to put the club on a sounder footing. Tiered pricing happens all the time in football, however the club should have made this clearer at the start of the season. Or adjusted the relevant pricing at the outset to reflect this. At best it's a bit of a haphazard approach, and at worst it's just profiteering. Neither personality bother me and certainly won't if Dunfermline return the favour, but this is something that could have been handled better.

A season ticket WAS a charitable donation in the case of Dunfermline Athletic fans who accepted that it WOULD be cheaper to buy PPV on a pay as you go basis but bought the ticket anyway. That’s how I treated it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have paid for every away stream too, no matter how shit the quality has been on the basis that it was helping out the other team during this crisis - some of these games I wouldn’t have attended under normal circumstances. The principle that the money I earn is worth less than, for example, a QOTS fan is what is going to deny you revenue here. I’ll get my updates from the web. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
