    We charge different prices for different games, but do we charge both sets of fans different prices for the same game? I genuinely have no idea.

    Maybe, if Kilmarnock keep that pricing structure in place, the Celtic board, for next season, should sell season tickets at a price to account for this and notifying the Kilmarnock board that they will not be taking up the allocation of tickets that they are due and that they will have to be sold directly by Kilmarnock to those Celtic supporters who want to go to Rugby Park.

    No wonder, it's basically a home game for us.

    Rugby Park is probably the worst filled stadium I see, every week without doubt. Even when they were playing ok years ago they could never get fans in.

    In the late 90's, they used to give us one stand behind the goal and a bit of the main stand. They filled the rest of the stadium fairly well. A pity how it has gone for them on that front.

    10 years ago we would fill both ends of their ground, now Kilmarnock would be lucky if we sold out one. It's completely unreasonable for them to charge us £6 more than the other dwindling number of football fans in this country.

    I think I'll go to the cinema for £10 and a couple of drinks and something to eat instead. Scottish Football abandoned the fans a long time ago.

    I've only went to League Cup matches in recent years because of the pricing but I was still shocked when I looked up what we're charging!!

    This is for the coming Dundee Utd League Match.....

    Tickets for this match are now on sale. Tickets are priced from £29 adults, from £17 concessions and from £10 Under £13

    If we're charging the Dundee Utd fans that to get in, they've every right to charge us the same. Unless we bring our prices down, we can't complain.

    While our fans will pay more than other SPL sides when we visit Killie, so will the Killie fans for the same game. I don't see the big issue with this.

    So what? This is the system everyone operates under, higher demand, higher price. Same with us. A travelling Barca fan to CP isn't going to get charged the same as a travelling Ross County fan. That's business.

    Remember they're charging more for play-offs and Scottish Cup matches too, so it's not like we're being singled out. Just doing what any business would do and charge more for a high demand product.

    Should be a set price for the top division of £15 pounds per *, Germany have done it and every team in the top division gets est 40000 fans per week at the games, could also bring alcohol in to this as well ie in plastic cups 2 pints per person, ie on season ticket barcode or match day ticket barcode, no problems with 70000 doing it at the rugby .


    By decreasing ticket prices fills more seats and will bring in more funds, * not rocket science just wish these clowns running the game up here put there brains to use and did something about it!!

    Dont be so daft, that sort of forward thinking doesnt wash with our board.

    Lose money short term to make more long term? Itll never catch on here.

    Us being used as cash cows by Killie can * off.

    Our board charging ourselves and other teams £29 to watch our standard of football is also a * farce.

    You are totally entitled to vote with your feet. But it's attitudes like yours which is quite typical of a lot of people who used to attend. Then go out and slate the product on display. If more punters got up on a Saturday, filled the grounds, maybe the league would be in a better position. I think this reflects well in the cases of Aberdeen and Hearts this season. As someone has pointed out. EPL is looking around £40-50 tickets. Although a much better standard of player to watch. But this is a double edged sword. The clubs should do all they can to reduce. And some moves have been made. Celtic last season, certain games. Buy one get one free. Motherwell doing the same this weekend. So a bit of enthusiasm shown by other clubs fans. Not so much ours. Would create a better atmosphere and game all round.
