Wrangodog Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 I'll be there, but £20 seems stiff for a walkover. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said I will be there but it's still too much charging the same as a league game. We should be encouraging fans to go by charging less than a normal game. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prahakillie Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Prices set by both teams. No doubt Brora want to cash in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be presumptuous to say it'll be a walkover. It's Killie in last 16 of the Scottish with a real chance to progress to the Quarters, I don't think £20 is steep.

CBFC Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 I agree with Prahakillie. Brora will want to make as much cash as they can as they may not make the next round....hopefully. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
historyman Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 I would love to see the day when a club statement about prices / facilities / ticketing arrangements etc. is met with universal approval by our extremely hard to please supporters. I would rather pay this price to watch a team I haven't seen us play before and with a great chance to get into the last 8 of the cup than for yet another match against Hamilton, Ross County etc. As has been said previously it wont be a walkover and I hope the players don't think like that. If we need any reminder there is always the 3-0 defeat to the earlier version of ICT in the 1980s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barneyboy Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 20 quid is fair, as someone else said it's the cup, maybe not the draw Bora fans want but a good crowd still gives them a nice little earner. Hopefully us a victory. Everyone's happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funky monkey Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Still too much money. Top level football in Scotland is worth no more than 15 poundds adults 10 concessions 5 under 16s. Not criticizing KFC specifically, but the product is not worth any more than that. Just my opinion. As a lapsed supporter, I'll try and get along for this one, see what all the fuss is about. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This match is to get to the quarter finals of a competition where you have an opportunity to win the oldest trophy in world football - stop putting our game down - it's nowhere near as bad as the EPL sycophants would have you believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch14 Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 I think this is a bit of a special case. If it was a Premiership team we'd be charging £20. Brora would have every right to complain if we reduced it and essentialy did them out of some money. No complaints from me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby_Doo Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 People used to link the price of the fitba to a pint when talking about the rise of prices. I bought two pints in Glasgow at the weekend and got 20p change from a tenner, so £20 is reasonable for a Cup game I think! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killie, especially under SC, must be worth an extra fiver?! And thats before we even get into the economics of running a club of Killie's size.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pricing should match the product on the park. I am one of the few who actually agree that prices should be increased when the likes of Celtic come to town as the quality of player on show is better. However, the same should apply when farmers and joiners are the opposition - it's not really worth £20. I would imagine that for some supporters, price would factor into whether they attend. Most clubs across Europe charge different prices depending on the opposition. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think maybe when you look at other options then it's really not unreasonable. If you want to go to the cinema you're going to be looking at £10-£15 a ticket. If you want to go to a gig on a Saturday night you're probably looking at around £30 to see a mid-level band at a mid-level venue. I think Scottish top league football is probably priced around where it should be at £20-£25. If you get in for £15 then you're getting a great deal IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English supporters, of the lower leagues in particular, are the most entitled delusional people you could meet. I met a guy on holiday who played for Gateshead who was talking down about the level my mate played at - he was a squad player for Gretna in the SPL at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst the product diminished as a whole, Killie suffered more than most because of the lack of customer care and exploitation coming from the boardroom. Good to see things seem to have changed significantly since the remarkable appointment of Steve Clarke, hopefully the good days are returning. Even a £20 walk up, Killie amongst te cheapest in the league, is still too much. I've only been to a couple of games over the last few years, having been a season ticket holder for a very long time, so will get along to the Brora game to see what the Steve Clarke revolution is all about. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
