    Why not charge 30quid to maximise even more income, its only another 4quid...just price of a pint....

    Bottom line is that DFC had the chance to give a little back to there fans but chose not too....

    The extra 20 grand they made with inflated prices will go into the bank account, but imo it was a pr disaster as was reflected by the home support

    2800 home fans for a home QF and some guys are trying to dress it up as ok beggars belief...

    We lost that game before a ball was kicked last night

    Agree, a full Dee end jumping could have made a difference, but nothing will change, top of the board not listening, others down to fans reps are just puppets

    Realistically, we were out as soon as the draw was made. A lot of folk not prepared to shell out for a foregone conclusion that's also on TV.
    If we had been playing any other of the quarter finalists last night at the same price, I'd bet there would have been a lot more folk prepared to pay it

    26 quid is tipping point for a lot of folk

    Where do you get £30 from? Would pay at least that if it was a semi-final, would be steep for a quarter final but probably would pay it if we had a realistic chance of winning and reaching the semi.

    Just curious too see how much you would pay...

    Tremendous atmosphere at Motherwell, looked proper cup tie..

    There board have to be applauded, now they will reap rewards in semi final financially

    Aye but they had a reasonable chance of beating Aberdeen tonight. They have improved this season and looked pretty good. We definitely drew the ****ty straw getting Celtic

    I go all the time because I live in hope and don't spend much on going to the pub or any other hobbies, I prioritise the football over most things in life. I get that not everyone can do that

    Here's what I think.
    I can't speak for Motherwell but their decision in economic terms meant (I have no way of knowing the split of concessions/adult tickets) at full adult price their revenue was 6430 x 10 = £64300
    Dundee's revenue was 6917 x 26 = £179,842, nearly three times greater and the majority of this was paid for by the away fans.
    As a businessman it is obvious where the best BUSINESS decision was made. It is my argument that our football club is a business and should be run to the best business standards if we want it to prosper in the future.
    Now I take the point about "a thank you" to the support but this wasn't the game to do it as you would have been subsidising a large amount of Celtic supporters. The time to do it will be when we play a team with a small travelling support and/or a crunch game.
