    Season tics

    Some folk will buy even if they never see a game, some will hope this is last year of restrictions 😜 , how do you sell season tics to ordinary not very flush season tic holders and (stop sniggering) new season tic holders?.......it's an impossible task

    I bought last season pretty sure I wouldn't get to any games out of loyalty. I bought this season expecting to get to all games out of hope for a good season. No season ticket next season because hope and loyalty have gained me nothing and have in fact been swiped away from me.

    Why people can't see that the Scottish Government is putting jobs and businesses at risk, so stopping the working population from earning, to 'protect' people who are retired and living on good pensions I have no idea. Schoolchildren now think it's normal to be told by politicians how to think and behave - that's with them for life now so there goes any opposition in years to come.

    And if Dundee FC, or any other club, becomes a casualty of all this it'll be deserved by the majority of fans who have backed this atrocity and accepted what's been given to them. I personally wouldn't miss this or any other club if that happened to them.

    It's impossible due to the initial overpriced product. If all clubs could agree a £20 max tic price they cud then lower season tic prices.

    Clubs are being screwed by fans all across the country, the concession tickets are the reason, so easy to purchase them, especially online, because of this the honest paying adult is being asked to pay over the odds, maybe it should be one price fits all, say anywhere between £15-£20, it’s hard on children but there parents would be paying less which may balance itself out

    The simple solution is to return to pay at the gate and bring back separate turnstiles for OAPs which would stop people abusing the purchase of concession tickets particularly cheap kids season tickets.

    We could make it even simpler by not having an OAP gate at all and making all adults pay the adult price.

    You might change your tune when you become 66 and stop working resulting in you being dependent on your state pension and a company or person pension for income.
    It is a well known fact that when people get older they become more susceptible to illnesses which take longer to shake off.
    Therefore an OAP who has a season ticket is more likely to miss several home games per season due to illness than a younger person which then gets to the stage is it worth buying a season ticket in the first place.
    If OAPs have to pay full price then they are also more likely to become selective in which matches they attend especially when the weather is cold as there is nothing worse than sitting in a freezing cold Dens Park when they could be sitting at in their nice warm home watching a text update of the game on their computer or iphone.

    We've been through this before, I won't change my tune but I will take full advantage. RROSDSC

    Think we might get a change of attitude for next season. Club must know if pensioner pricing is being abused.

    Agree, but would go one step further and make a one price fits all
