CL ticket pricing

http://www.talkingbaws.com/2017/08/celtic-fans-arent-too-happy-with-champions-league-ticket-prices/

I read this and I cannot get my head around it.

Is it really to much? What really should we be paying. We are one of europes finest playing europes finest.

Especially if we get 3rd or above. Witnessing that is worth more than £38 a ticket surely

 

If Ibrox costs £50 then this is a bargain...

 

More than happy to pay £114 for the package to see us play in the CL. Some folk just love to moan.

Exactly.

 

It is steep on top of a season book but I thought it would be close to £40 each so not too surprised.

As football is overpriced across the board it maybe isnt too valid to compare prices, but hearts vs aberdeen at murrayfield is £28 a ticket. So an extra tenner to see some of the best players in the world doesnt feel out of line.

That said, given an average season book costs around £550, an extra £200 or so on top for cup games does feel too much over a season. Especially when that doesnt even include away days.

It is knowingly pricing out a lot of the fan base but as long as there are wealthier fans to replace them the board wont mind.

 

£114 for me & £90 for my boy. I don't grudge paying this for the CL

 

On the grand scheme of things, I don't see it as that bad - I don't have a season ticket though.

Comparing it to the last two events I went to - all day ticket at Scottish open snooker final for £59, and league cup final against Aberdeen at £35 - I think it is a fairly reasonable price. I've paid more than double for tickets to gigs.

 

You get what you pay for. Season ticket prices up , CL prices up. We've increased what we pay, hopefully the club will reward that .

 

Absolutely zero chance of that with this board. £150 for non st holders is a disgrace. There are guys without st's who probably go to more games than some with and are being made to pay a ridiculous premium if they can even get a package. I'm sure all the GB merchandise they sell could help subsidise and give the fans a bit of help. Not like there's a lot of people struggling with the economic meltdown or anything.

 

I agree with you but there is enough people not struggling that it isnt an issue for the board. They could probably easily add an extra 10 or 20 quid on top and these games would still sell out it hours.

 

I think its a bit steep to be honest.

It wouldnt kill Celtic to keep it at £33 a ticket like last years package, at least for season ticket holders.

When you pay the guts of £500 for a season ticket, are on the HCTS and pay for every cup game home/away and then league away games also, not to mention merchandise, programmes/food at the game/strips etc it can be a bit much.

I just feel it can be a wee bit of a slippery slope, if we qualify year after year are they going to raise it a fiver each time?

 

Everyone moaning about the playing staff a hotel doesn't pay for itself and neither does the 2 million pitch or phase 2 of lennoxtown or proposed plans for new stand or fact we have highest paid manager in Scottish football history. People need to think outside the box a wee bit

in the grand scheme of things 38 quid a ticket isnt all that much considering ticket prices down south and the dross you can get for that,

but still a fifteen quid jump over last year
which translates to a measly 750k in the midst of the cash we turnover from actually qualifying is a little bit of a slap in the face for the fans.

did they really need to put the prices up ? no they didnt.

 

The price for kids is extreme they are paying more for these 3 games than for their season tickets

 

That you Peter???

You forgot your heated driveway?!

 

Folk are paying a tenner for a packet of * a day, £38 to see Celtic v Bayern Munich is a steal.

 

In the grand scheme of things it's still a decent price for CL. A little disappointed it's taken a pretty big jump over 1 season tho. Should of been £35 this season.
It's a bigger joke that Celtic Huns games are 50quid.

 

Agree with that, I think they should revamp the pricing for non * tickets. Mental really that its £27 a game for under 12s in the Champions League. Same how once people are 18 they are charged full * prices but loads of people aged 18-21 barely have decent jobs or jobs at all, they could change that to 21 instead of 18. Same with kids pricing there should be more tiers as a 5 year old and an 11 year old theres a big difference yet costs the same.

 

People love a moan of course it is there’s obviously a reason it’s up from last season and it isn’t that much

The only thing I would say is those not on the ticket scheme and have to fork out 300 plus in one shot aye maybe it is and maybe there should be a pay as the game is approaching just like the ticket scheme people are taking them regardless on direct debit or not
