Both clubs have got the pricing way wrong here and it's a worry for the future. A game live on tv at this time of year makes it easy for people to avoid when the price is so high.

Long term, prices at football need to come down if the ambitions of Scottish clubs is to increase crowds. £22 and £24 (increasing to £24 and £26 if ticket purchased on day of match) to watch Dundee United v Alloa is ridiculous.

Things are going well for United at the moment with every game being important so it's not seen as a big issue but if we're sitting below mid-table in the Premiere League next season, people won't pay good money to watch meaningless matches.
