Prices at SPL grounds

G-VO-Merocaine · 29th September 2003, 12:10 PM

The ticket price to get into SPL grounds these days is a total joke. I went to Tannadice on Saturday, cause it's the first Saturday I've had off in ages, and it cost me £16 to sit in the Shed watching a deperate game of football. United were so bad they couldn't string 3 passes together. Killie were even worse. How can United justify asking Joe Public to pay that amount of money to watch that quality of game. Why don't they have a student discount like other grounds such as Fir Park? What does everyone think? SPL gate prices too high?

Footy's overpriced everywhere- Clyde is about £11. I wouldn't play to see Dundee Utd for a number of reasons.....

I know you're talking about the SPL but i don't think I've ever been to an SPL game to be honest. The last Clyde game I went to against Ayr on the 1st day of the season cost me erm £12 or something like that even though I tried to tell the fucking bitch at the gate that Clyde do a student at £6. Slly cow. Anywway For non Old Firm games I dont see how any club can justify charging more than say £14 for an adult and £7 for an OAP, student or child. Attendances are down for all clubs really and if they want to get more people through the gates I think prices have to become a bit fairer. For example why would someone want to spend over £13 or something for Thistle vs Hibs when they could have stayed in or gone to the pub and watched a heated old Firm game for free on the telly?
