SharpenRake Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Thats a fair point, though it should be standard admission prices anyway. A combined ticket would take joined up thinking! The result on Friday night will determine how many handfuls of 0131's travel over. There appeared to have been joined up thinking with the season ticket offer earlier this season but this for some reason was withdrawn by Edinburgh although I read that Glasgow kept there promise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Sorry , but cup final or not , to increase the admission price to 20 pounds for both legs , for what is 15 heats of speedway between Edinburgh and Glasgow each day , is a bit of a smack in the teeth for the fans of both clubs . I cant remember for sure , but I don't recall such a stunt being pulled for the 1994 KO Cup final the last time we raced each other in a national final 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit59 Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I was going to go but if its 20 pounds at the gate maybe not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkafag Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) I appreciate supply and demand but is Speedway really a sport that falls in line in terms of ticket cost for say the Guiness Pro 12 Final, Edinburgh Rugby games at Murrayfield, Hearts or Hibs games or even tickets to see the Edinburgh Capitals? I am not sure it is. In Edinburgh’s defence tickets can be bought for £15 now, but £20 on the day.....

Fromafar Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 It's only a personal view,but I feel paying more at the gate on the night is maybe off putting to neutral fans,during the season,and perhaps Home fans if numbers are down like has been quoted.

Paulco Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 As a matter of interest , did Edinburgh increase the admission charge for last year's League Cup , KO Cup or Play off finals ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I was going to go but if its 20 pounds at the gate maybe not Pretty shabby from both clubs IMO, asking £20 admission for a meeting between PL clubs is a bit much, but it isn't to late for the promotions to change their minds and charge normal prices, how much good publicity, and extra people through the gate would that get them.

Fromafar Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) The question is if it was not a local Derby would the prices be put up. £20 on the night is a bit much IMO . Edited September 21, 2015 by Fromafar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 The question is if it was not a local Derby would the prices be put up. £20 on the night is a bit much IMO . Of course it wouldn't , pretty shabby treatment of both team's supporters . Once again speedway clubs takes it's paying public for granted 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSC67 Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I sometimes think that speedway promoters have a " Field of Dreams " attitude to meetings - " If we stage it they will come " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenway Bleachers Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Edinburgh did not charge extra last year....mind you as a season ticket holder I got a lot of extra meetings for free...so The promotion changed matters this year but still let me in for 14 so hats off to them.....guess I'll need to sponsor something!

Mr Blobby Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) Why are most people questioning edinburgh for putting their price up for the meeting by £3 yet Glasgow have put their prices up by £5. Anyway most people by their tickets online anyway at a price of £15 so i don't see what the big deal is.

Do you have an opinion blobby or prefer to obsess over Glasgow like a deluded disciple Ps For those moaning about £20 entry, Bigeddiecak has been paying it for 2 seasons to help keep the Bandits afloat!!

Do you have an opinion blobby or prefer to obsess over Glasgow like a deluded disciple Do i think it's right to put the prices up no. We didn't do it last year, just because it's against Glasgow shouldn't mean we put them up this year. But most people are buying advanced tickets anyway at a discounted price. We have currently sold 27% more tickets online all ready than we have for any other meeting since doing online tickets so it looks like a massive chunk of the crowd have took advantage of the discounted rate of £15 anyway.
