Rinsing loyal fans constantly with ticket hikes isn't going to be so easy if the club makes itself comfortable back in the bottom half.

Let's hope for Heck's sake this is only a fleeting visit.

Just seen the prices for the Brighton game.  More expensive than anticipated for that match.

Charging more because Brighton are currently 4th !?
Heck all over .


I was surprised by this too, since when have Brighton been Category A? Last two seasons they told us up front which games were in which categories. I suspect they didn't this year to shove more into A.

My next match is Leicester. I really hope they don't class it as a derby or some such bollocks and have that Category A too.

I assumed the Brighton pricing was more to do with it being a Christmas holiday fixture than a reflection of the opposition.
Holiday pricing...bloody hell whatever next, will pancake day be included...

Just spent 50 minutes waiting for the ticket office to take my call. I want to assign my Celtic ticket to my son but they say I'm not allowed to until all the other tickets are sold. I paid for the ticket today (7 weeks in advance) but this ticket is not mine to assign to a named, assigned individual ...
.. the world's going mad, I tells ye.

I dont think thats correct application of their own rules. Try contacting them on Twitter, they are usually pretty quick to reply.

I've had that when trying to re-allocate CL tickets - you have to wait for the "window" that the person you are assigning is "live". SO they could have technically bought a ticket - if there were any left.

Loads of seats left tomorrow - I can't make it so listed mine for resale, can't see them selling.

They have done very well to kill the demand for fans it seems. Interested to see how it looks next season if we don't get Europe and they don't reduce the ticket prices.

Heck was the wrong man at the wrong club at the worst possible moment in our history. He will be patting himself on the back now for killing our expansion once empty seats start to become visible.

Doesn't the match have to be sold out before they will list STs?

It's 'up for resale' as per my account, but I can't see it actually listed in the available tickets. That's what I meant when I said I can't see the ticket selling.

Max , they won't even list your tickets until they've sold their own surplus . Not looking good

It's alright, was hoping it would offset some of the Celtic ticket but it is what it is.

I'm actually quite enjoying watching them beg for supporters on twitter for tonight's game - probably covers the ticket price they'd have given me back.

All these games would be sold out with the right pricing policy

Masses of empty seats tonight against Brentford and I think we all said from the stat that these were the games where we would se the impact of CL pricing.
