Does anyone know why games in Britain are so expensive compared to other places?  I once heard that an adult ticket in the main section for Bayern Munich is only ?11!  While tickets in the SPL can be double that and the league isn't as even as good and teams in other countries charge bargain prices.

For the Uefa Cup game last season Blackburn charged ?1 for season ticket holder, something like ?5 for a normal ticket and kids got in free.  And that was for a game against Bayer Leverkusen but we have to pay more to see ICT play County!

Well, I guess that is why Niculae has signed for ICT rather than some of the other European clubs. He sees where the income stream is.....

He seems to be a lad who does his homework--has reviewed the ICT web site and knows Scottish history forby!--as Frankie Howerd used to intone on the TV.    OOOOOH! MMMMMMMM! :003:

I have said before that the prices do seem high and I completely agree with Tin Can Fan that reducing the price and filling the stadium is just common-sense (don't answer that--just start a new thread  :crazy07:).

The only way for any protest to succeed is when they price themselves out of existence--maybe that could happen sooner - rather than  later .

I actually dont think that ICT prices are that bad .... for season tickets at least. Its the 'walk-up' prices for individual tickets that are a bit high and that affects a fair number of regular supporters who either cant afford season books or who cant justify them because they may live out of town and only make half a dozen games per year.

the club have addressed the lump sum renewal cost of the tickets by initiating the direct debit scheme and if they could come up with a 'flex pack' that allows fans to buy a pack of tickets (at season ticket prices) for something like 6 or 8 'B' fixtures that they could use over the course of a complete season then I would say their ticketing policy would be fairly spot on.

For the flex pack you would just swap a "paid" voucher for a ticket for one of the games (subject to availability). Adding "unpaid" vouchers to the pack for "A" class games would also be a way to give those supporters a way to qualify for priority for OF games.

as a matter of interest ........ Based on 19 home games ....
