    £38 a ticket yesterday

    Queued up yesterday till about 10 past 3 for a ticket as the rude girl who was selling them behind the kiosk only had 1 computer working. Then get told its £38 quid everywhere in the ground. Now I can afford it but never payed it as that is a diabolical price for a championship game between 2 lower half sides. Was telling some of my mates who follow the Rupert's and they said there's was £22 . No wonder our ground is half full. And the tarquins are averaging 18-20 thousand. Dearer then Everton ffs. How are they getting away with it and no1 pulling them up over it? Anyone else think that's an absolute rip off?

    yeah it is a right rip off. hoos said its down to the stadium being old and more expensive to run than modern stadiums (i've never really understood how though). it is a rip off though and could easily be lowered to a more affordable price to bring more people in whilst still bringing in the same amount of money, if anything it'd bring in more money due to matchday sales

      £38 to watch QPR Burton is probably £18 to much

            Disgraceful.

            That’s why we’ll have 12-13,000 crowds all season.

            Doesn’t take a genius to work out if you lower the price more people will come, and usually spend more in the ground, club shop etc.

              Thats an insane amount of money for a ticket to any game in our league, let alone burton for christ sake.

              they pride themselves as a community club but, they are doing everything to price out the locals.

              cannot see a full capacity at any game this season with prices like that.

              more poor running by the admin lot at our club.

                  I had my dad with me yesterday aswell. Said I'd look after him for the day as he's had a tough month on the money front. Even he was telling me to fark it right off n not pay it. I ended up goin springbok for a pint. And another group of lads came in who were queuing up behind us. They weren't paying it either. A real s.hit experience . Went to the richmond after n stayed there

                      Taking the #### in my opinion and as it was half empty they should have been punted out at a tenner a throw from 3pm on Friday to get the punters in.

                        The money we make from gate receipts is nothing. 23 home games, 12k a game. £40 a ticket. £11m a year.

                        Selling the tickets at a tenner will get near 17k and bring in about £4m.

                        That's a £7m swing. Of that people may be more inclined to purchase foods and drinks, perhaps merchandise so call it an extra £1m over the season. So now on a £6m swing.

                        What's £6m a year to the club to ensure it looks after its fans? It's a dire stadium. Love it, but it's horrendous. Hull have a better ground than us. Hull. Fcking hull.

                        Lose £6m by giving us a tenner a ticket.

                          the administration side at Rangers has always been woeful. What with some paying £10 in the school end, how can £38 be right?

                            Awful price for a bang average game £25 max should be the price of a ticket

                            It's becoming not worth the money now I'm afraid especially with crap and crapier up front eh Hits
