What a load of shyte

Find it strange that you don't see a £6 difference being a problem, yet you bought a concession ticket

If we had adult and concession split last night the club would have taken in 155000 gate reciepts to be split with Celtic....

If it was a 20/10 gate price and we gave celtic 5000 tickets and we sold 5000 home tixs with the right marketing

The club would have recieved 150 000 gate reciepts....

Not a lot in it

I think its exspensive. But the option I took is open to everyone but suspect £19 wouldn't have made much difference to the crowd.

I did it because I see no reason why pensioners should get in cheaper. Maybe mentioned it once or twice.

You either want your team to win a cup or it's not that important.

I get that it's not that important to some, that's not a critism it's just reflected in our cup crowds.

For me it's the 2nd biggest trophy my team can win and I want to see it won and how it's won not just turn up at a final have a good day then go home.

Don't think your being fair saying people don't want us to win a cup, people aren't happy with prices for games that are on tv, that is what the board need to address

agree people are sayn £26 to watch what is 99% of the time a foregone conclusion or keep the £26 in the hipper,there are so so many people in oor city who are near the breadline and the board should think about charging that price for a tv game

I get fed up listening to the same people who come on to social media complaining that we aren't signing the right/best players and then complain about the pricing.
The reality is if you want a team that is going to be competitive on the park (and before you say we aren't competitive, we have a squad that is in the top half of expenses in the league) then you have to maximise the revenue.
Now from a Business Model standpoint, there is no Business Model in the history of commerce who has ever maximised their revenue and profit by decreasing prices. IT DOES NOT WORK, EVER.
I know we as supporters would like to see the team win but I would have thought as Dundee supporters, given our history of administration, we would also keep one eye on ensuring the club remains solvent. It is a bit baffling that all those true supporters who during administration were happy to pay the admission fee and throw extra money in a bucket but now complain about £26 for a Cat A game.
To address the point of why we dropped 3000 on the gate from the United game, I would put that down more to the fact that Dundee supporters are less likely to miss a derby game that we have a bigger chance of winning than a game against Celtic who were unbeaten in domestic football for approx 55 games.
Lastly I have genuine sympathy for fans who due to tough times cannot afford these prices and I would hope they are able to pick their games and continue to support the club where possible.

I said it's not that important, significant difference.

To me it's everything about supporting dfc.

Have vague very vague memories of it happening once and want to see it again afore I shuffle off.

Other fans prioritise the "social" side of things.

It isn't just last night, Cat A against Aberdeen and Hearts last season when they were on tv told there own story, I have season ticket so doesn't affect me, but I support the PATG fans and don't blame them for watching it on tv
