The club do seem to have the reverse Midas touch. The only hope is that the present shambles is a prelude to a club sale.

It does, to be fair, seem a bit weird that there's quite big disparities in there. 18-21s getting a better deal than everyone else for no obvious reason? But fair play for doing the maths!

In case anyone is wondering, the below is how many "free games" each of us season ticket holders are getting
Which is still less free games than Austin & Ranford |

I mean, that's how alcohol and cigarette sales enforcement works in every retail shop in the land, no?
Bit more difficult to tell whether someone is 63 or 65 than whether someone is over 16 or 18. Plus in a shop it’s face to face and you haven’t got hundreds queuing up behind. Hardly a good comparison. |

Just need to get onto the UK most wanted list and I'll be sorted for a ticket in the directors seat for life |

I’m presuming the CEO will stop using his freebies and pay for a ticket every game then, if he is so worried about free tickets?
Will he fuck.

Could make a bit of money by charging a certain Zav Austin his ticket for every game?

Not just him either, how many "guests of the club" come in along with Hart, Austin etc too. I fucking despair at the direction of our club currently. |

FWIW from everyone that I speak to about STFC, those not involved with lower league clubs cannot believe that the club charges £27 a ticket, they assume it would be around £15-20

I agree, there are licencing issues selling products to incorrectly aged people. Protecting your bottom line for an extra £2 isn't inherently the same thing |

Its a lot of money but a few clubs charge even more than we do and most seem to average £25 which is still too much. 20 is plenty. |

The person operating the turnstile has no way of knowing what sort of ticket you have just that the bar code lets you in.
The light colour denotes type of ticket doesn't it? Admittedly spotting a dodgy looking person/ticket combo in thousands is a bit of a challenge. |

Its plenty given cost of living, inflation, low wage growth etc. However the club isn't outside those factors sadly. £25 sound fair to me. The problem driven by premier league tv money is that gate receipts for the clubs at the top is a tiny fraction of income, so they can sell tickets cheaper than lower league clubs can, and it becomes really difficult for lower league clubs to justify ticket prices based on quality of football. Its a real mess. |
